   Made a reservation for Sunday at 5pm. Arrived at 5 and was greeted by the hostess and was sat immediately which was great. Now looking around there was people inside but they were by no means busy at all. We were seated in the last booth by the bar. The hostess did give us menus. We were a little shocked to see that they didn't offer any type of soda or pop. After 10mins we still had not been acknowledged or even see a waiter or waitress. Well we have been around long enough to know how this ends so we left. I did let the hostess know on the way out. Not sure if we will attempt to try again or not.

   I came here with my husband and MIL for brunch on a Sunday. We came in and had to wait a few minutes to be seated (although we had a reservation and the restaurant was mostly empty). After we were sat, our waiter came over to take our drink order. Their menu lists a “seasonal” cold foam with their cold brew, but after some back and forth it seemed that there is no seasonal flavor at all. The waiter seemed to not be familiar with the menu and had to go and ask other workers for answers to the questions we had. We finally ordered and the food was fine, nothing special. They don’t have any typical side items for brunch, like sausage or bacon. My cold brew finally arrived after our meal, missing the oat milk mentioned on the menu and with barely and cold foam to speak of. We were pretty disappointed with the service and brunch menu and if I were to return, I’d probably just get the food to go.

   Was excited to go to True Foods as I’m from Phoenix and frequented TF often there. I supposed we picked a bad day to do as many of the brunch options with protein we’re not available. The manager stated they are changing their menu next week which caused for the outage. We will see next time. However I would have appreciated a heads up either on the menu or by the server instead of finding out 15 min after being seated and asking for several unavailable options.

   We took our 4 year old granddaughter to True Food Kitchen for an early dinner. Everything we had was delicious. Our waitress, Samantha was excellent. She was very attentive and sensitive to our little one’s needs - bringing her a sample of the soup he had and a taste of pink lemonade. We’ll be back!

   Good food/ didn’t think it was great. Maybe just what I ordered. I do think it’s pricey for what you get. I had a bowl, with chicken and my bill (no drink) was 30

   Our first visit but likely our last. The food was sub par, other than the Mac/cheese. Service was decent but we never received a single beverage refill which was a disappointment. My husband usually goes through multiple glasses of iced tea in a sitting. Would not recommend.

   We have been to other True Food Kitchen's prior in California, Arizona, and Virginia and the experience has been very good at these locations especially in Phoenix. The experience in Raleigh was only OK. We had asked for our salad with the dressing on the side and it was delivered with the dressing on it. The guacamole was good yet we had what appeared as store bought chips that weren't enough and the pieces were small and what you would expect from the bottom of a bag. They weren't appropriate for dipping. The food was generally good yet not up to the standards we expect from True Foods and value for the price. We wanted something special and we didn't receive it.
