    Delicious food, as always. The manager handled a difficult and delicate situation with a mother who had a constantly screaming child very sensitively and effectively.

    First time and I don’t know why! We should have come here a long time ago. Food was fresh, tasty, and they were excellent being aware of and handling food allergies. Their seasonal pizza was so good! And vegan! Delish! We will definitely go again.

    La comida es rica pero tardaron mas de una hora en traernos 3 platillos Y no entiendo que les digas tus alergias y no puedan replicar una salsa solo sin ponerle hongos a la salsa

    Gracias por tu comentario, Pau. Nos alegra que te haya gustado la comida, pero lamentamos la demora y la dificultad con las alergias; trabajaremos para mejorar en estos aspectos.

    Quality of offering was great with one minor snafu on one side item. Just overcooked or sat in warmer too long but otherwise the salmon and plant based double cheeseburger were both terrific as usual. Side note: Wish TFK offered almond milk for lattes but love their fresh and creative use of healthy options overall!
    True Food Kitchen - ChicagoResponded on January 3, 2025
    Thank you for your feedback, Mark! We're glad you enjoyed the salmon and plant-based double cheeseburger, and we apologize for the side item issue. We appreciate your suggestion about almond milk and will consider it for the future.
