True Food Kitchen

So happy to have found this gem with so many GF options. The waiter said that they write “celiac” on the specific GF order and the pizza is made in a separate area. The GF pizza dough is more of a cracker with barely any edge, but my daughter wasn’t bothered and I think enjoyed the fact that the waiter really seemed to know what to do and that so much of the menu was marked gluten free. It was Saturday evening and restaurant got very full quickly so I recommend a reservation.

I was there yesterday for lunch most of the menu is GF and Vegan. Nice atmosphere. Excellent Food. Had no reactions. Can’t wait to go back. The multiple of people who came to our table were knowledgeable about their menu and GF .

Yay! What a fun spot with a good vibe. I felt so "normal" eating here. Menu is clearly marked with all things gluten free (vegan & vegetarian options are marked too). Food was great! Server was knowledgeable! GF pizza is cooked in a fresh, new clean grill. Their oat milk and desserts are also GF. I'll definitely be coming back!

Great for celiac! Gf pizza is a great option - they have one oven but will remove all gluten pizza and cook the gf pizza on its own on its own stone. The gf pita is also the best I've ever had!! Get it with the hummus! Menu is clearly marked and I've always felt safe and cared for by the wait staff. Yummy cocktails too :)

We took our celiac kiddo here. I feel like what we ordered was safe but they have a weird CYA thing going where they caveat on their menus that they have gluten in their kitchen so even though everything marked for celiac is prepared separately they can’t guarantee no gluten. But the server was much more confident. We felt safe with his description and had no reactions. Food was good but portions were small and we aren’t big eaters!

This is one of my favorite restaurants. I enjoy their chicken, cauliflower, and flourless cake. I've eaten here at least a dozen of times and it never disappoints and I’ve never had any issues.

10/10 would recommend! Josh was so nice and informative on our first visit here! I’m gluten sensitive and the menu had a little “gf” next to everything gluten free. We had the charred cauliflower (delicious!) the squash casserole (yum cheese!) and the flourless chocolate cake (YES 100x!) No flare ups and will definitely be back!

I ate here on a Sunday and I have been bloated and had stomach cramps for the past two day definitely would not recommend for anyone with a gluten sensitivity. They were very busy when we went so maybe that had something to do with it but I did let the server know that I had a wheat allergy when ordering.

Staff was knowledgeable and there were no issues! Celiac friendly!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Staff was knowledgeable about their gluten free options. Had quite a few options to choose from. They were out of their cauliflower polenta, so I had steak tacos. Pretty spicy, but very tasty! I’d go back for sure.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Good service, great food. A lot of vegetarian and gluten free options for Celiac folks.

Ate here once a couple weeks ago. They were incredibly busy for being early evening, which made me nervous. Menu isn’t huge in general, so limited GF options. They did understand my needs due to Celiac & mentioned the precautions they use. Pricey for what you get. Chia Seed Pudding was delicious though.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Staff was extremely knowledgeable about cross contamination and their gf items were clearly labeled. They assured and reassured me that they’d change gloves, ensure clean surfaces, no fillers in their sauces, etc. Unfortunately although I felt great about my order, it tested positive w/ the Nima and I couldn’t eat. Thankful to have been spared a painful glutening but sad to see that even w/ all their assurances of a safe meal, gluten was still detected. Our waiter was very apologetic and seemed embarrassed at the fact that although the manager came and apologized, he didn’t give a discount or comp my husband’s meal or even offer a different plate even though I had to sit there unable to eat. I asked them to remove my plate off the bill and they did. Sad experience overall for someone w/ Celiac but thankful for my Nima.

Celiac friendly?

No

Super friendly and knowledgeable staff. Very accommodating, awesome mission. Highly recommend!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Ate here last night, food was tasty and the waitress was very knowledgeable of Celiac. I had the Chared Cauliflower appetizer, which BDW was delish, the baked chicken and the antioxidant beverage. No reaction at all....will definitely go back!!!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I've had nothing but success as a Celiac at True Food Kitchen. My favorite dish is the roasted chicken and several of the many gluten free/dairy free desserts. All of the staff seems extremely knowledgeable about food allergies/Celiac, and ensures that extra care will be taken to make sure I don't get sick.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Gluten free options safe for celiacs (but let the staff know about your celiac disease). The food could be tastier (specially the guacamole and the gluten free tortillas). Small portions for the price. The best was the excellent service and the comfortable atmosphere.
