    I love this restaurant-mostly the food & some of the beverages-the service at this location is almost always way too slow! The servers are generally friendly but maybe they are short staffed every time you go? It would be nice if they could be just a bit more efficient-for example our drinks took so long that there was no time to order a second before the bill came. I recommend anyway because of great flavors & healthy ingredients-just don’t go if you are starving or in a hurry.

    True Food Kitchen is definitely a 5-star restaurant and I always try to get our lunch groups to dine there. Luckily, they agree too, so we all enjoy afternoons together eating healthy and delicious dishes that floor us to no end! If you get the chance, get the Meatloaf sliders and the Iced Shakeratto. That's what I had it nothing was left for the dishwasher. Absolutely delicious 100%. Service was exceptional (as always) and we all had such a good time, I think we spent close to 2 hours there just enjoying the day. Gotta love San Diego but, I do love True Foods more! It's the only restaurant that goes out of their way to serve healthy and tasty dishes I can't believe I get to enjoy. Well done True Food Kitchen!

    We met friends for lunch on a Wednesday afternoon and ate on the covered patio. The waiter was friendly and the food was brought out quickly. Our burgers were very tasty and we were not rushed to leave after we finished our meal. We will definitely return.

    Exemplary customer service by the gentleman, possibly the manager, who assisted us at the front. The atmosphere was great and that gentleman gave us a great corner table that was perfect! Food was very delicious and served fairly quickly. I appreciated the fact that the gentleman comped us for our buffalo wings, which came out a bit late. Also, appreciated the fact that they accommodated a large party. Would definitely come back again! Keep up the great work! Thank you!

    Although TFK always hits the nail in the head, this time was the exception, unfortunately. Our assigned server seemed in a hurry (the restaurant was not even at half capacity) and had us waiting a long time to put our order in. When they brought our dishes, my wife’s order (crisp’d salad) was incorrect and had to wait additional 15-20 minutes to make it right (I waited so we could both eat together and my burger turned mushy). When it finally came, the chicken was dry that we had to order sauce on the side to try and fix it. Overall not a very good experience.

    We're sorry to hear about the issues with your recent visit, Alan, especially with the service and your wife's order. Thank you for your feedback; we'll work on improving to ensure a better experience next time.
