We absolutely love True Food Kitchen! My husband and I have been coming here for a few years now, have brought several family members, recommend it to everyone we know, and it has truly become our favorite place to eat out. We drive all the way from Berthoud, and it is worth the trip! We both have multiple food allergies and special dietary restrictions, which usually makes dining out stressful and rare for us. True Food Kitchen has completely changed that experience. They are incredibly knowledgeable about cross-contamination, avoid seed oils, and offer so many gluten-free and dairy-free options. The kitchen is an open concept, so you can see the food preparation, which makes it an exciting atmosphere. For the first time in a long time, we feel normal going out to eat and that means so much to us. The food is consistently delicious. Some of our absolute favorites are the salmon, the steak, the grass-fed burger, the spaghetti squash, the prickly pear drink, and the gluten-free chocolate chip cookies with dairy-free vanilla ice cream. We always have the cookies warmed up and take extra home, they’re that good! I would love if coconut milk was added as a dairy option with the coffee selections though. Beyond the food, the service is exceptional. Every server we’ve had has been kind, helpful, patient and attentive. Most recently, Mason waited on us for Valentine’s Day and made the entire experience feel so special. Mason was warm, inviting, and created such a fun atmosphere for everyone in the section. I feel like the holiday was well staffed for how busy it was too! It truly made the holiday memorable. True Food Kitchen is truly the best restaurant. We’re so grateful to have found a place where we can eat safely, enjoy amazing food, and feel so welcomed every single time. It is always good to make a reservation too. Highly recommend!

Our whole experience there was fantastic! I’m 60 years old and I must say, the food was one of the best meals, I have ever had. That’s saying a lot! And our server was outstanding: Mason! I hope he keeps shining his Light to everyone lucky enough to meet him ✨

True Food Kitchen has been a long time staple in Cherry Creek at least for as long as I have been in Denver and they have always killed it and I think they have even gotten better over time. They are always my go to spot when I find myself in Cherry Creek and I want something on the healthier side that won’t break the bank. I really do always feel like my stomach feels good after eating here. When you think of healthy food, typically taste is sacrificed for health but I never felt like that is the case here. No matter what I get here, it’s always at least decent if not delicious. It is also really cool to see the open concept kitchen where you can easily see all the chefs prepare the whole foods. It is evident that they take pride in their food. The only thing that I am taking a star off for is that I have often felt rushed when dining there. We also asked for no sauce on the grass fed burger and when we received the burger with sauce on it and pointed it out the person who appeared to be the manager just replied “ok…?” like we were annoying him or he didn’t understand what the issue was. Overall, love this place and will continue coming here for my tummy friendly food!

Took my wife here for lunch before window shopping Cherry Creek. The menu is expansive in its own unique way with GF, vegan, and vegetarian options. Love how they integrate seasonal ingredients. The Cauliflower appetizer is a must! The GF bun is actually a flat bread and amazing! Will be coming back to try EVERYTHING on this menu curated by Dr. Andrew Weil.
