Good

True Food Kitchen stands out for its vibrant, health-driven menu and an impressive range of gluten-free options clearly marked for celiac diners—think air-fried chicken tenders, noodle bowls bursting with flavor, and decadent flourless chocolate cake. While it's not a dedicated gluten-free facility, staff across locations consistently show strong awareness, taking extra steps like flagging celiac orders, using separate equipment when possible, and even having chefs come out to reassure diners. The kitchen operates with shared spaces but demonstrates a willingness to accommodate—changing gloves, cleaning prep areas, and answering detailed allergy questions. If you’re used to the anxiety that comes with eating out, the genuine care here feels like a breath of fresh air—but you still need to communicate your needs clearly every visit.
