True Food Kitchen

My husband I were traveling back to Sarasota and stopped in Jacksonville for the night. I have advanced celiac so eating out is challenging to say the least. I referenced ChatGPT for celiac safe restaurants in the area, and True Food Kitchen was the #1 pick. I made a reservation on Open Table and we Uber’d there. We decided to sit at the bar to eat and that’s where we met our fabulous server, Abbey! She had the best personality and to think it was the end of her long shift too! My sweet husband explained to her the severity of my reaction to gluten and the risks of cross-contamination for me. She was very proud of the gluten-free menu offerings and the safety measures the kitchen staff takes. Abbey reassured us she would take extra special care and made both of us feel so safe. I CAN NOT explain to you how much this matters. IYKYK. Our food came and it was delicious. We started with a Brussels sprouts appetizer that had unique flavor blends and very tasty. For dinner, I had the Seasonal Market Salad and added two proteins (for leftovers!), shrimp and grilled chicken. I loved it all. My husband had the All-American burger with fries and ate every last bite of both. When I was looking around the cute restaurant, I noticed how the glassed in kitchen is exposed to see everything. A young lady working on a to-go order, Ari, waved sooo big! She came out and I asked if I could take her photo with Abbey. They are both a breath of fresh air!! Obviously they like their work place. Hooray!!! We enjoyed our spontaneous dinner at TFK, and the best part??? My experience was 100% CELIAC SAFE!!! Not to mention delicious and the icing on the cake were Abbey and Ari😊😊. I highly recommend True Food Kitchen. We will be back!!!

Will and his team at true Food kitchen are truly heaven sent I’ve never had any issues at this restaurant. The food is out of this world. The atmosphere Is a total vibe I frequent true food kitchen at least twice a week. My favorite items from this restaurant is the butternut squash pizza the turkey burger with the honey roasted carrots and the butternut squash soup. I would totally recommend this restaurant. It’s healthy for you. They have a mass selection of items to choose from the refresher. Drinks are great. What Moore can I say this place is just the best.

This is one of my top 3 restaurants as of this posting. This place feels so good. The environment they are going for, I feel they nailed it. It's like openness, natural, modern, healthy, and clean as wrapped up in one. The staff were all super friendly. The silverware is Varick, the napkins are thick fiber, their bathrooms are stocked and clean! You can tell a lot about a place on house clean the staffs shoes & finger nails and bathroom are. The food was so scrumpditiliumptious! (DANE COOK). Their Brussels were coated in a savory sauce that I had to scoop up the crush of their sour dough pizza that was also delicious followed by their salmon which was also fantastic which was eventually followed up the their dark chocolate cake which was ALSO FANTASTIC! I bought more that I could eat. It's okay. I will later at home. True Food found really great combinations with the sauce-to-medium pairings. The meat, vegetables and desserts. They have been here since 2018 and for good reason. Amanda was our waitress. She was a bundle of pleasantries. She was super informative, helpful in explaining what foods would fit out cravings. Always with a smile. Keep our drinks refreshed. I personal was a fan of her shirt. On the back it read "Don't kale my vibe!" The water was fresh, the seating was spacious. The decor was natural and the bar was stocked and broad. I'm making this place a saved Default spot on my Open Table app.

AMAZING vegan options! Food is so fresh and delicious. As a vegan I usually try to stick to plant based restaurants but this was a nice place to bring family who isn’t vegan so there were options we could all enjoy. All menu options are really uniquely crafted and the vibe and energy of the place is very upscale, while having fast quality service and affordable pricing for the quality of ingredients. Almost everything is made in house!
