Health-conscious chain with vegan options, cocktails
"Much of the menu at the Green Hills location of True Food Kitchen is gluten-free and includes a wide range of options beyond salads and grilled meats. Try the chain’s Idaho rainbow trout with quinoa and lemon oregano vinaigrette or spaghetti squash casserole with tomatoes, caramelized onion, zucchini, and fresh mozzarella. The bright restaurant has plenty of outdoor space and a solid section of cocktails and mocktails." - Eater Staff
"Another well-received transplant, this health-focused chain follows a philosophy that food should make diners feel better, not worse. Expect filling edamame dumplings, kale salads, pizzas, grain and noodle bowls, and seasonal entrées. Plus, find healthier takes on cocktails made with organic spirits and fresh fruits." - Alex Hendrickson
"A health-focused True Food Kitchen outpost in Green Hills that draws health-conscious diners." - Delia Jo Ramsey
"Housed on the bottom level of the mixed-use Vertis Green Hills at 3996 Hillsboro Pike, I noticed vibrant yellow umbrellas and large signage on a spacious patio that overlooks Hillsboro Road and Trader Joe’s, making it impossible to miss from the street. Inside, the bright, 7,700-square-foot dining room features neon green booths and playful Music City–inspired details like produce-shaped guitars and real guitars filled with planters along the walls. The Phoenix-based, health-conscious chain — making its Nashville debut tomorrow, September 26, and arriving as the neighborhood’s third opening in eight days — zeroes in on co-founder Dr. Andrew Weil’s “anti-inflammatory food pyramid,” offering an extensive, seasonal menu that ranges from an autumnal butternut squash pizza to avocado toast and a vegan dashi ramen bowl. There’s a chef-driven, scratch-bar approach to creative, crave-able dishes and handcrafted cocktails (including skinny margaritas and a forbidden root made with lemon-infused vodka and red beet), plus ample non-alcoholic refreshers and teas. I found the printed hours and service details clear: Monday–Friday 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., Sunday 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., with brunch Saturdays and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m." - Delia Jo Ramsey
"Located on the ground floor of Vertis Green Hills and spanning over 7,700 square feet with an open kitchen and ample outdoor patio seating, this health-driven Phoenix-based concept (recently buoyed by Oprah as a significant equity investor) emphasizes vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options and signature dishes such as spaghetti squash casserole, grass-fed steak tacos, a quinoa burger and its dessert squash pie." - Delia Jo Ramsey
