True Food Kitchen

OMG where do I even begin with True Food Kitchen and the absolute legend*that is Darren, our server?! Let me tell you, Darren is BEYOND AMAZING and totally AWESOMESAUCE!! This man is a true gem, the kind of person who instantly lights up a room with his personality and warmth. He's personable, attentive, and clearly loves making sure everyone at his tables is having the best time possible. His energy is so contagious, you can't help but enjoy yourself when he's around. So, this was officially our second time having Darren as our server, and let me just say--he's 2 for 2 in delivering the most wonderful experience ever! The first time we met Darren was about a week ago, and from the moment he introduced himself, his vibrant personality and customer service skills shined. He made awesome recommendations (which, of course, were all spot on!), and we were beyond thrilled with his suggestions.Alright, let's dive into the food because YUM!!! For starters, we kicked things off with some of my all-time faves--the Roasted Butternut Squash Soup, Charred Cauliflower, and the Mediterranean Hummus--all from their amazing fall menu, which I live for! Then came the entrees: I wanted to try the new Chicken Parmesan, but sadly they were out. But never fear, Darren came through with another fantastic recommendation--the Original Chicken Sandwich, which was DELISH! My mom went for the Spicy Korean Chicken Sandwich, and we were both in flavor heaven. For drinks, I had the *Blood Orange Margarita, and my mom had a Hot Toddy (she wasn't feeling well, but that Hot Toddy hit the spot!). Now dessert--honey, you know we had to get the famous Squash Pie! And I also tried the Chai Caramel Cake (DIVINE!). They were out of the Pie Spiced Latte, but Darren--being the hero that he is--had them make me a special cappuccino, and it was perfection. The food, the service--it was all a 10/10 experience.Fast forward to today--yes, we went back for round two with Darren's recommendations, and once again, he nailed it. We started with the Butternut Squash Soup (Mom got a bowl this time, lol), and the Charred Cauliflower because, duh, it's a fave. For dinner, Mom went with the Turkey Burger and Sweet Potato Hash--another solid go-to. But I was feeling adventurous and wanted to try something new. Darren recommended the Grass-Fed Steak Tenderloin, and OMG, when I tell you it was bussin', it was BUUSSIN'!!! Like, melt-in-your-mouth good. For drinks, we did the Spicy Pineapple Margarita and the El Pomelo Margarita, both delish. And of course, dessert was Squash Pie and cappuccinos to top off the meal.Seriously, if you haven't been to True Food Kitchen yet, run, don't walk, and make sure you request Darren as your server. Trust me, you won't be disappointed--he's the best!! Tell 'em Raven sent you!

Honestly the buffalo chicken ranch salad was one of the best lunches I've had. The air fried chicken is somehow also gluten free (?!), so crispy but also was not dry at all. Lettuce and veggies were fresh and crispy. Avocado was perfectly ripe.My sister had the avocado toast which was on thick sourdough bread with a jammy egg. Would definitely order again. "Perfect amount of chili oil and spice, bread was fresh." She also had the brown sugar ice shaken espresso, which was notably better than its Starbucks counterpart. Also, not pictured b/c I ate it so fast, was the flourless chocolate cake with vegan ice cream. It was INCREDIBLE - so warm and gooey (which is hard to achieve with flourless cake!) and there was caramel on the bottom. We arrived late b/c of a classic Atlanta traffic situation and they were still able to seat us for our reservation. It was really busy but the service from everyone was fast and attentive throughout. Will definitely be returning!

I have been a fan of this restaurant for a while since they opened in California so was very happy to find it in Atlanta. The food is amazing with great ingredients and flavors. This location is big and has a very large patio area. The service is good.

Visited on a Saturday afternoon around 1:30 and it wasn't crowded so we were quickly seated. We chose to sit indoors, though there is lovely outdoor patio seating, and bar seating options.Our 8-year old preferred the cheese pizza which she thoroughly enjoyed, and it is pretty large size for a child. I preferred the Thai Peanut Noodle Bowl with shrimp added and my partner ordered the Grain Bowl with Salmon added. We thoroughly enjoyed the food and were glad to have a healthy, light option available in this heat.We all ordered the spritz drinks but they were severely lacking in bubbles so we'd skip them next time.Great time. Note it shares parking with Lenox Mall so plan for that

I've been to the True Food Kitchen in Avalon in Alpharetta before, but this was my first visit to the Lenox location. Parking is easy with tons of lot and deck space at the mall. My friend and I decided to meet here since she has a lot of allergies and can count on True Food kitchen and the staff to meet her dietary needs. When we arrived, we got to sit in the covered patio which was such a nice space on a summer day! I ordered my usualy go-to order, the Ancient Grain bowl with shrimp. The shrimp is always so plump, and I love the textures from the snap peas, sweet potatoes, and portabellos. The pesto is also so tangy and delicious!! I had a great meal and will definitely be returning.

Slightly overpriced but sooooo good!The edamame dumplings are to die for.Tried the chicken wrap, the ancient grain bowl (the usual), the potatoes.Service was just ok maybe because at 2:00pm they slow down. The ambience is always proper and matching the type of food. I give 5 stars to the food but the service was a 3 stars for me.I had a vodka passion fruit cocktail. Way too sweet for me but delicious.

Without a doubt, I've always had great service here. The staff is always so friendly and attentive. Love all the healthy menu items which leaves me feeling super satisfied and clean. The grass-fed burger was delicious! I had ordered the umami sauce on the side but it was so good I ended up dipping every bite into it. Nothing better than mushrooms and caramelized onions on your burger! Chefs kiss!!

The service here is pretty slow but the atmosphere is nice. But honestly, the food just didn't do it for me. The portions are super small and not very filling at all. The salmon was tiny, and the asparagus was really undercooked. The chicken sandwich was also extremely small. None of us in my group enjoyed our meals. So, if you're looking to really eat, I wouldn't recommend this place.

Food was fresh and prepared well. I especially liked my kale salad with blackened shrimp. It was delicious! My girlfriends liked the entree as well. There was no leftover !!We saw people preparing pizza dough, making fresh fruit juices, and cooking on the background. Blade was our server and he provided excellent service. He made sure we had everything we needed to have a special time. We liked it so much that we tried to go back on our way to the airport but the heavy traffic in Atlanta did not allow it. Next time for sure .

My friend and I stopped for brunch drinks on a Sunday. The cold brew was strong and delicious, but my friend's Cinnamon Toastini cocktail was a standout! She also had the blueberry pancake, which she raved about. She loves their turkey burger too, so I plan to try that next time! Our waitress was incredibly nice and accommodating. We sat outside, and it was beautiful--the fans made it comfortable. Plus, I loved the open kitchen concept!
