The 2,800-square-foot restaurant’s interior spaces are bright yet retro, with playful artwork on the walls, making it a fun place for socializing, working remotely and dining. An outdoor patio gives guests the unique opportunity to peek into the restaurant through a garage window as they eat al fresco at the outdoor counter or a traditional table.
Providing breakfast, lunch and dinner options, the menu features such items as the air-fried, gluten-free, herb-brined, antibiotic- and hormone-free True Crisp’d Air-Fried Chicken Tenders, which are also included in such True Food Market signature dishes as Nashville Hot Torpedo Roll, Hot Honey Chicken Biscuit and True Crisp’d Tray.
