True Food Kitchen - Fairfax

The quality of their food and portion sizes changed. All the dishes we ordered were off and not as good as before.

True Food is an amazing restaurant. Their summer menu has a great assortment of appetizers and entrees for those that eat meat and sea food. In addition, they have several options for vegans and vegetarians which are just amazing.

Had a lovely dinner outside with two friends where we had conversations we could hear each other along with good tasting food. Our server was experienced in checking in enough without disturbing us. The cauliflower starter was very tasty, and the poke bowl and tacos were delicious. Nice get together despite humidity. Good choice to meet together.

Our server, once he arrived, was courteous and well-informed. Two of us had the turkey burgers which were tasty but the buns were quite dry. The sweet potato hash is probably better if served hot. We also had the chicken sausage pizza which was good. The drinks (watermelon lemonade and sparkling peach tea were ok but overpriced for such a small amount. All in all an ok experience but unlikely we will return unless we happen to be in the area.

Server never stopped by to ask us if we needed anything during our meal. Asked for ice water and just got water. Never got our check and waited 10 minutes after we finished eating, went to someone on my way to restroom to see if someone could please bring check as our server never came by. The server I did talk to told me my server was “over there by the bar” expecting me to go over and essentially beg two people for my check. When we talked to hostess about our poor experience, she said “well we are between shifts so that’s probably why you didn’t have anyone stop by”. What a terrible excuse. Working in the food service industry myself, I would never let this fly. Overall poor experience, will not be returning.

Ingredients are so fresh and delicious here and prepared perfectly so a bit pricey. I eat here alot because I love the fresh and healthy menu. Afterwards, go walk around the Mosaic mall.

Good food and drinks, too many tables too close together, service was wonderful

I love the food at True Food Kitchen - always very fresh and tasty. However, we sat outdoors in a less than desirable location (off the main patio and closer to the street) so it was kind of hot and noisy with people walking right next to us. Also, they mixed up the order, so my husband got his delicious burger, but I got steak tacos when I asked for shrimp. No big deal, but it meant I had to wait for my food. That said, everything was delicious.

Food was awesome! Wait staff not as attentive as in past. Very clean, very friendly hostesses, food was simply amazing - as a vegan, this is my go-to place for vegan offerings.

Great food and superb service! Will be back soon!!

The food is great. I love all the creative vegan options! I've only ever had excellent service, and love the decor/ambiance. Highly recommend.

Jay, the manager is a wonderful asset for Truefoods. His team was amazing and was one of the best meals I've had recently. Will be back because of his leadership.

Excellent food and service. We made a reservation, which is recommended because the place is busy. We ordered GF pizzas, kale salads, salmon and shrimp, which were all delicious. For desert we tried the flourless chocolate cake which was scrumptious, but the star was the vegan key lime pie, which I highly recommend.

Great food and service

Food is always delicious and service is always great.

Our server was distracted and had a lot goin on
It didn’t seem like anyone helps each other
A lot of people wandering around

Good food, great service, nice atmosphere. Very healthy ingredients and well made food. Definitely a great option if you are in Merrifield.

Great service!

Family visiting- lots of dietary restrictions so this is a great place for us to go!! Delicious food , excellent service and fun ambiance. Will be back!!

The service was great and all the staff were helpful and accommodating. It was very busy but we had a reservation and we got in at our reserved time and the food came quickly and they were attentive to our needs. The food is fresh but lackluster. Neither of us were impressed with our meals. They were rather bland. It was lovely in appearance and they used fresh ingredients, but there was a disappointing lack of flavor. The experience was good but we won't be back because the meal left us wanting.

We love everything at True Food, the quality and taste of the ingredients are outstanding. We know the food is fresh and chemical free.

The chicken parmesan was dry and hard with very little sauce. The vegetable was a big pile of broccoli stems that were so hard it was hard to bite into them. My husband ordered the same dish and said the same thing. The food used to be quite good at True Foods in Merrifield but the whole menu has changed and the quality went way down.

Everything was great

Great real food options/menu!

So accommodating for a big group and lovely service.

Love True Food Kitchen! Appreciation vegan options, the spinach and mushroom pizzas is amazing! Great drinks, service, and desserts!

We had a lovely meal. Service was great
The quinoa bowl could have used more flavor, so I added another sauce which enhanced the flavor. Lettuce wraps were yummy. Pool party and peachy bourbon drinks were tasty as well.

Took my Mom there for lunch because she wanted to eat out of the house. We had the shrimp tacos and I had the watermelon nonalcoholic drink, which was very good. The tacos were a little bit on the expensive side at $20 for two tacos, but it did come with a corn side and a small salad. The service was great. Friendly and welcoming.

We ate inside and the big thing to know is that it was LOUD. Really loud. It made it hard to have conversation because it was so loud. So if you are looking for a quiet place this is not the place for you.

If you are looking for a fresh, "farm to table" like experience in Fairfax county, True Food Kitchen is that. We had an enjoyable time.

As always excellent service from the moment we walked in to the end of our meal. And the food was delicious!! Thank you!

Good clean seasonal food with even better drinks.

Nice range of dishes and service outside was ultimately pretty good. A mess though when it rained.

We had a very pleasant experience at True Food! We loved the outdoor seating options - it began to rain and they were able to fully enclose the patio. the waiter was attentive, the food was fresh, and they even had a decent kids menu with varying options.

We will definitely return!

This location of True Food is always outstanding. The service was great and our food was so so good. And healthy. Don’t miss the edamame dumplings, cauliflower, and poke bowl!

Service was great and the food was delicious! My friend is vegan and they were great about accompanying her dietary needs. The only negative thing to note is that this place is SO loud! My friend and I were sitting next to each other in a booth and had trouble hearing each other at times. But the ambiance is nice and lively. They also have an outdoor area that is very cute but it’s hard to get a table out there during the busy times. Anyways, I do recommend!

Always love True Food, but our food came to the table cold. Drinks and appetizer was great.

We sat outside for lunch on a gorgeous July day (!) The service was very attentive (but not overbearing) and we loved everything we ordered. It is such a treat to be able to have super healthy food when dining out. True Food Kitchen checks all the boxes!

True Food is a go-to for meeting friends. Food is always fresh and the service friendly and accommodating.

Fun and creative food & beverages! Courteous and professional servers.

Food is excellent - the portions are not ginormous, but the food is filling and healthy. If you enjoy a specialty cocktail from time to time, this is the place to indulge - great, creative selections. On top of this, the service was excellent - our server Samuel made great recommendations for seasonal dishes we hadn't tried, and he was extremely friendly and attentive, as were his colleagues who helped. The noise level of the restaurant is the only downside - they need to find some way to add noise absorbing/dampening materials. But otherwise, a family favorite, and every time we go, we wonder why we don't go more often.
