The food tastes just as good as it looks! My boyfriend got the duck crackle pop, Cajun grits and cheesy skillet potatoes. He’s not the biggest fan of grits but he said those were the best grits he’s ever had! I got the sriracha honey chicken biscuit and it was to die for! Absolutely could not recommend enough! Collin was our server and he was a awesome. Very attentive, knowledgeable and conversational.
True Flavors Diner is less of a diner and more of an upscaled southern classics eatery. If you're familiar with Hash House A Go Go in Vegas, True Flavors is very reminiscent of that place and the "twisted farm food" approach to breakfast. True Flavors' dishes are daring, loud, and interesting takes on southern staples like biscuits and gravy, chicken fried steak, and grits bowls. The food was great and visually stunning, and the portions are outrageous. In a huge plus for me, they offer 3 or 4 different types of gravy (including duck gravy), as I really don't care for sausage in my gravy. The portion size actually helped counteract what I felt was a significant price tag for breakfast ($60+ for two) as my partner and I both made a meal out of the leftovers for lunch the following day (still delicious). I do have to admit that our server was a bit curt and the food was (a little) slow to come out, but they were quite knowledgeable about the menu and brought us out some incredible complimentary biscuits while we waited on our food. One very small nitpick is that the tables for two are almost comically long. Expect to be sitting 4 feet away from your dining partner if eating with one other person. Again, this isn't a big deal, but we found it quite funny and were willing to overlook it for those biscuits and delicious blended coffee drinks. Finally, you can probably expect to wait to get into this place. If you go on Saturday, this turns out to be blessing! Just outside in the parking lot is a local farmers market that features fresh produce and craft treats from triangle farmers and artisans. This turned our 30+ minute wait from an inconvenience into a lovely opportunity to browse some local produce.
I was looking for a good breakfast spot and saw the reviews. Several said the customer service was bad. I did not see that at all. Even the other customers because the restaurant was packed. Everyone seemed to get the service you would expect at a 4 star restaurant. My waitress answered all of my questions and was super helpful and friendly. The presentation of the food was on point and it was so flavorful and delicious. It’s was a pricey breakfast because I wanted to try several items but the portions were huge. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.
True Flavors is my favorite brunch spot ever hands-down; a feeling shared by any one of my friends who I have brought along to join. The food is amazing and full of genuine flavor which can be hard to come by. I love how the menu changes slightly every week which offers me new things to try. The portions are generous and worth the price range you pay. I have been several times and NEVER had an issue with service (yes you may wait 20-30 minutes to be seated but so worth it). If needed, waiters will take time to talk you through the menu to help you pick something to your liking, and the food comes out very fast. The waiters will often recognize me as a regular which makes me want to come back again and again.
This was a top notch spot for a morning/,midday meal. An exceptional menu, scrumptious food, and great customer service! I highly recommend and can’t wait to return! Superb!
