Food is delicious. Wish there was more separation between tables to be Covid conscious. Service was very good.
All of our servers were amazing! The food was delish!
Pricey but good. Lasagna was really garlicky.
The quality of the food, wine and ambiance seem on decline relative to my previous visits.
Hi Robin, I am so sorry this visit did not live up to your previous visits. I would love to hear more about what you did not enjoy so I can follow up with the chefs and bartenders to make sure it does not happen anymore. If you can give me a call here at the restaurant at your earliest convenience, I would really appreciate it. Thanks, Vanessa Johnson
Great food! The server was helpful in answering questions about the dishes. The spaghetti squash casserole was delish as was the pear and goat cheese flatbread. The vegan chocolate chip cookies were super yummy!
Thanks Kristen! We appreciate your feedback, it means a lot to us! If you have not tried it yet, try the spaghetti squash casserole with the bolognese sauce next time, it makes the flavor that much better!
I always seem to get the Ancient Grains Bowl with well cooked salmon. Yummy and filling every time!
Thanks so much for your patronage Austin! If you have not tried the sea bass yet, you should! Its got an amazing umami sauce on it that is to die for!
the Food was good and it was a nice day to enjoy the patio
Thanks so much Ryan! I am glad you had a nice experience when you were in recently! The weather makes for a great experience out on the patio!
Food is nourishing, well portioned, fresh and creative. Wide variety of diverse choices to choose from. Staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Ambience and atmosphere is delightful.
Thank you so much Liz for letting us know how much you enjoyed your time in recently! We appreciate you taking the time to do so!
The items we selected from the brunch menu were delicious. The service was top-notch. Grace made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal and was very sweet!
Thanks Kat for this review! I am so glad you had a great experience with Grace, she is definitely an asset to us! I will show her this, I know she will appreciate it! Thank you again for taking the time to write this!
Food and bartender’s service were outstanding h
Awesome healthy food and drinks. Will definitely be back!
Thank you so much for this review! I am happy to hear you enjoyed everything and will be back in soon!
They were out of some stuff and took awhile for someone to serve us but cute spot! Def worth trying! Lots of v and veg options!
Thanks for letting us know about your visit. I am so sorry it took a bit for someone to get to your table, we never want that to happen. Hopefully we redeemed ourselves once they got there and you got your food. I appreciate your feedback!
Food was excellent, server and kitchen were mindful of my food allergies and it was all delicious!
Thank you for taking the time to write this, we appreciate it so much! Glad you enjoyed yourself on your visit and allergies/special diets/sensitivities is something we take very seriously!
My food was served cold and should have been hot. I could not complain bc I was the host.
The flatbread was overpriced for what we got.
Thanks for letting us know of your experience when you were in. We apologize for your food being sent out cold, it never should be that way. Please in the future, let us know so we can fix the issue and make sure you don't leave unhappy or hungry. I would love to know what you did not enjoy about the flatbread so if something was wrong, I can follow up with our kitchen to fix the issue. If you are comfortable doing so, please give me a call here at the restaurant so I can get some details.
I have heard good things about Trufood and I have only tried one location as it is close to where we live in downtown Austin. I have been to this restaurant twice now and I have been disappointed both times. The food is marginal at best. The atmosphere is lovely both inside and outside. I had a burger the first time that was served stone cold. I am not typically a complainer or someone who sends their food back but I did on this occasion. The second burger arrived lukewarm and I ate it. This time I had a bowl, which was actually pretty good but my girlfriend had a wrap and she could only manage to eat half of it. I will not return as there are so many other great options for great food in downtown Austin.
Hi Geoffrey, I am so sorry to hear you have not enjoyed your food when you have been in a couple of times. Please always let us know when you are here so we can correct whatever is wrong or get you something else you would enjoy more. We never want you to leave hungry or unhappy with your experience! If you choose to give us another chance, please ask for me so I can stop by and make sure everything is more to your liking. Thank you for letting us know your feedback. Vanessa Johnson
Great experience. Food was delicious as always and we had ordered some food to go as well. When we got home we realized that some of it was missing, so I called them and the manager (wish I remembered his name, very nice :) ) went above and beyond and took care of us.
Thank you, we love y’all!
Hi Tara, Thanks for taking the time to write this! I appreciate you shouting out one of the managers, glad he did all he could to make sure you were taken care of! Hopefully you are able to make it in again soon! Thanks again!
Excellent dinner, everything was perfect, including the outdoor patio. 😍

I’ve always been a big fan of true food kitchen! This was my first time at this location and it was great and delicious. We ate on the patio, which was very dog friendly. Server was friendly and drinks were great.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write this and let us know what a great time you had! We hope to see you back in again soon, thank you again. Happy Holidays!
Lasagna was delivered cold.
Everything else was fine.
Thanks for letting us know about your lasagna Christopher. I have followed up with the kitchen to make sure they are cooking it longer because it should never come out cold. We appreciate your feedback.
The food is consistently good at True Food and I like that they have seasonal rotating menus for variety.
Thank you so much Brandy! We appreciate you and your patronage. Thank you for taking the time to write this review!
Great as always. Solid place to go for healthy tasty food. The ambiance is always great, though there's an occasional train passing. Overall would 100% recommend.
Ajay, Thank you for the kind words. We love to hear that you enjoyed your meal! Also we thank you for being patient with the noise. We hope to see you back soon!
Excellent menu and service - keep up the good work
Thank you for the kind words Jeff!
Tables around us not cleared during our entire time at True Food. My lasagne dish was burned, mostly inedible. Our bill was put on table before we had even had a chance to order dessert and coffee. Other customers were yelling at wait staff regarding slow service. Even wait staff complained about the "chaos" there. I have enjoyed True Food for two years, but will not go back until they get their act together again!
Hi John, I appreciate you letting know of all the issues from your experience the other evening. It sounds like we really dropped the ball all around and for that I apologize. I have followed up with the chef regarding your lasagna, the busser regarding tables not being cleared and especially your server because you should have had the opportunity to order dessert or at least sit and enjoy your experience. I hope you choose to give us another chance in the future. Thanks again telling us.
Everything was good. Nice variety and all seemed very fresh
Thank you so much for leaving this review, we appreciate it!
The food was okay. I felt more spices and salt were needed. It was bland tasting. Although; our server was excellent!
Thank you for letting us know about your food being a bit bland, I will follow up with the chef to make sure our recipes are being followed correctly. I am glad to hear that your server was great, thank you again!
The one thing I went there to eat was not available and alternative options not quite as tasty. Server was good, just not very attentive. We got app before bar drinks.
I am so sorry to hear we were out of what you wanted that evening. I have spoken with the chef about our prep levels to hopefully ensure this does not happen again as we definitely want everything available on the menu. If you are comfortable doing so, I would love to know who your server was so I can follow up and ensure they are giving better levels of service. Please feel free to contact me here at the restaurant. Thank you, Vanessa Johnson
Great service
Thank you so much Pam! We appreciate you taking the time to write this!

Thank you as the service was very good as expected.
Thank you Christine, I am so glad you had a good experience! Hopefully you are able to make it back in soon!
Amazing vegan double cheeseburger. We both had this and ate the whole thing. The appetizers were great too and no complaints about the staff. Always a good experience here.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this kind review! I love the vegan double cheeseburger also, so I get it! If you have not tried the butternut squash pizza yet, make sure to try it on your next time in. Its an awesome vegan dish as well!
Always great food!
Thank you for the 5 star review!
Mitch took great care of us. New to Austin, first time dining. Will be back
Thank you so much for this review! Mitchell will be so excited to see this. Hope to see you back in again soon!
