We are a family run restaurant featuring Southern and Mid-Atlantic cuisine. We have taken what we loved about Liberty Barbecue while becoming more vegetable forward and putting an emphasis on seasonal and locally sourced ingredients.

The menu follows a Southern-fried meat-and-three concept, meaning diners order a meat, plus three sides. Those will include Ruthie’s mac and cheese, of course, but also white-soy-braised greens, stewed chickpeas and smoked cauliflower with a spicy soy glaze. “We’re going to be changing it a lot based on seasonality,” Hill says of the menu. “ Every vegetable has got to be fantastic because it has to stand on its own.” One thing that will help that: Hill is already growing all of the restaurant’s own herbs at his South Arlington community garden plot.

Another great meal at True Food Kitchen. We ordered our favorites -- skinny margarita, charred cauliflower appetizer, ancient grain bowl, and plant-based double cheeseburger. All delicious! Fast, friendly service too.

Our group of three enjoyed dinner and particularly appreciated all the gluten free options. We tried the fried chicken, shrimp and grits, babyback ribs, street corn and tempura fried crabcake, lobster bisque. It was all very good though the tempura crabcake was bland. It was lively with a busy bar area, televised sports, plenty of comfortable booths. The beer and wine choices are extensive. Portions are large so expect to bring food home. It’s noisy but the tall booths work well to block adjacent noise. Service was excellent and gracious. We did have to wait to get seated since people were slow to leave so that’s a good sign for the hospitality. It’s a nice balance between fast casual and fine dining so a refreshing choice in the neighborhood.

My server was pretty nervous, I think he was new. The bar was painfully slow getting drinks out to our table. Otherwise, the food was excellent, as always, and the price affordable. A nice restaurant.
