Lately my experiences at true food have been mediocre, and I want to review it because I like true food and truly want it to thrive.
Food wait time has been really long, even when the restaurant is not busy.
The sweet potato hash is more like a hash of sweet potato skins a lot of the time. Sometimes it’s not hot. Im not sure if keeping the skins on was a nutritional choice, but they are overpowering the hash to the point that the texture is bad. My husband doesn’t even want to eat it and he isn’t picky at all.
The drinks are too expensive. If you at least got one refill, maybe it could be more justified. But $5 for a glass of lemonade or tea? That means TEN dollars for TWO people to have a glass of lemonade. A family of 4 walks in and each get a glass of lemonade with their food, that’s $20.00. Let that sink in for a moment.
I had an absurd experience when I ordered the plantain chip featured appetizer a while ago. The appetizer was priced at like $12-13 and I LITERALLY received three plantain chips. Three hard, stale, unchewable plantain chips. Thankfully the manager took it off when I talked about it, but this is a real issue we’ve been having with the food in general. Proportions are all off. Things look great on the photo, like how they should be made, and then you get it. There’s hardly any mulberries, hardly any avocado, hardly any chicken sausage, hardly any walnuts, hardly any hardly any hardly any so and and so forth.
Overall I feel mostly nickel and dimed and not like I’m being served food that is made with love and purposefully generous so as to have a wonderful dish. It isn’t enough just to be “health food”-everyone else is getting on board with GF, DF, etc.- you have to deliver a “local restaurant” experience.
