    True food was mediocre. We had the dumpling which were good. The Mediterranean wrap and the buffalo chicken ranch salad which were okay.

    Usually the meals have been wonderful over the years but this time it was an epic fail. I had lunch with a girlfriend and the food was less than stellar. Had to send back the starter I had and then the pizza which was butternut squash came out with too much of the toppings and was cold. Hopefully next time they can make it a memorable and delicious lunch.

    Food portion is quite small for the price. An order of blueberry pancake is only 2 thin slices. The air fried chicken is dry and hard. Eggs (both scrambled and fried) were not salted evenly, some portions were very salty and others were not. We liked the guacamole appetizer tho.

    The music was terrible and way too loud. Food was amazing but unfortunately ruined by the loud, pop /disco music. Dinner should be a much quieter ambiance and this was the opposite. We mentioned to the shift manager and he suggested we email corporate.

    Good, clean food, great service! Shawn was great! The fact that they split some of our meals, keeps us coming back as well.

    True food has been hit or miss for the last year. Sometimes the food is fantastic but about half the time something is either way over cooked or under cooked. The last time I was there the steak came well done when it was ordered medium rare, the week before the roasted Brussel sprouts came almost raw. They brought us new ones that were still rather under cooked. It seems to depend largely on how busy they are. When they are busy they overcook things. Come too early, undercooked brussel sprouts. Tends to be better at lunch than dinner, but honestly we’ve eaten there a lot and the quality is variable. We keep going because we live nearby and they have vegetarian options.
