Marked menu, shared, Allergen-marked menu and aware staff but shared fryer / prep. Cross-contamination risk acknowledged.

The blog Gluten Free Follow Me and MI Gluten Free Gal both report that True Food Kitchen's menu marks vegan options using abbreviations. The official website does not display per-dish markings, but the venue states it will accommodate special dietary needs. No dedicated vegan prep space is documented; shared kitchen with animal products.

Marked menu, shared, Allergen-marked menu and aware staff but shared fryer / prep. Cross-contamination risk acknowledged.

Blogs confirm vegetarian dishes are marked on the menu via abbreviations. The venue offers many plant-forward options but uses a shared kitchen and cannot guarantee separation from non-vegetarian ingredients.
