Service was friendly, welcoming, and some of the best I have experienced recently. The manager was great. Such a pleasant and fun dining experience. The food was delicious and there was an abundance of options. Highly recommend.

We were pleasantly surprised that it was easy to find a brunch table on a Saturday. Our server Chelsea was polite and helpful, even offering us a complimentary dessert, as they seemed a bit short- staffed. The portions were excellent and we very much enjoyed our meal. We'll be back!

Have been going to True Food since they opened the first store in Atlanta next to Lenox Mall back in 2016(?). When I moved up here and saw they have a place up in Ballston, I decided to have a client meeting there yesterday (3/19). The ambience is always nice - our server, who was working the bar, came and took our order. I was going for a bowl and lemon drink and my client was just having a tea. Well, guess what? My food never showed up. Our server never once came to check on us. Finally, we decided to leave and our server finally came, apologized and offered to waive the check for the lemon and team. The worst part is that she blamed the snafu on the kitchen staff.

A variety of food options for carnivores, vegetarians, and vegans. I have multiple food allergies and was able to easily find options to choose from - even for dessert! We ordered the cauliflower appetizer, Buffalo Chicken Salad, Roasted Butternut Squash pizza (with gluten free bread), and Squash pie. Everything was delicious and reasonably priced. The atmosphere was pleasant and the bathrooms were clean. Great, timely service!

I have come here a few times and it's been really good but yesterday, the service wasn't good. My waitress was kind but didn't check up on us for a long time. It was my birthday and I wanted to really have a great time. Even when my "birthday carrot cake" came out, we still had all these dirty plates around me. My first waitress didn't even tell us there was a shift change. She just walked out with her coat but the second waitress was cool.

Have returned 2x at other's insistence to this restaurant and it is not be trusted. The only decent thing I've had was the Edamame Dumplings. I ordered the quiche at brunch today and it was completely burnt on the edges. The burnt taste had permeated the rest of quiche. I was with a group so didn't want to make a fuss. Another in my group ordered the same with the same result, so not a fluke. Brunch seems to be a time to avoid if you want edible food even through it never seems to be really crowded. I don't know if dinner time is better.---Had my 2nd awful meal at Ballston Commons-- True Food and expect it will be my last. I ordered the Strawberry Lemon Pancakes for brunch. There was no lemon to found anywhere in the pancakes or on the plate. When I asked the server, she said " the quinoa in the batter overpowers the lemon" and left it at that, as if it were acceptable. To compensate for the lack of lemon, I guess the chef dumped a till of cinnamon in the batter, because that was all I tasted. Cinnamon overpowered the quinoa, the lemon, the dollop of yogurt on top, the syrup, everything. Disgusting. And finally the advertised homemade strawberry preserves are nothing more than a handful of large slices of strawberries, not even marinated. Not worth the money, not worth my time. Good bye True Food Kitchen.

While I'm a True Food Kitchen fan, I'd never tried their brunch. I was extremely pleased as the brunch menu was unique, food was really good, and the service was awesome! (Expresso Martini!!!!!)

Eco-chic restaurant offering a nourishing menu of tasty, healthy meal options. Chopped salad was amazing!Moreover, our server Josh was the epitome of hospitality. Super attentive and was quite knowledgeable about items on the menu. He went the extra mile by having us try a sample of bisque soup, which was pleasantly unexpected.Its a great place to go where wellness meets gastronomy.True Food Kitchen's commitment to sustainability further elevates its appeal so highly recommend if you are in the area!

A healthier food option located in the Ballston Quarter mall. The service was great and the food had a ton of flavor. Unfortunately I can't give more than 4 stars because the prices are pretty eye-watering. I understand paying a premium for better quality ingredients, but at the current price point I'd find it hard to justify returning.

Why does it feel like I am not cool enough to receive service? There 4 servers and 2 bartenders hanging around having a great time socializing right in front of me....but I can't get anyone to give me utensils to eat my food. We have been sitting here staring at at them for 10 minutes. I literally got up and got my own utensils and it didn't even phase them. It seems they are going to be offended if I cross the line and ask them for anything else beyond jotting down my food order. =(

The idea is admirable but the execution falls short. This restaurant labels itself healthy but the food was extremely oily and heavy. I wouldn’t recommend it.
