True Food Kitchen

True Food Kitchen is what happens when someone decides Vegas needs a health-conscious option that doesn't taste like punishment. The menu is anti-inflammatory, seasonal, and actually tastes good, which is rare for "healthy" restaurants. Happy hour runs Monday through Friday, 3-6pm, with $5 beer and wine plus $3 off cocktails. It's the guilt-free drinking option, if that's a thing.

Weekday Wellness Drinking

Monday through Friday, 3-6pm—no weekends, because apparently healthy people don't drink on Saturdays. The $5 beer and wine is solid, with craft beer options and organic wines that won't give you an instant hangover. The $3 off cocktails brings their usually pricey drinks down to reasonable territory, and they're made with fresh ingredients instead of neon-colored mixers.

The Food Philosophy

True Food Kitchen is built on Dr. Andrew Weil's anti-inflammatory diet, which sounds like wellness cult nonsense until you eat the food and realize it's just... good. Fresh vegetables, whole grains, sustainable proteins, nothing overly processed. The happy hour menu has items like edamame dumplings, butternut squash flatbread, and ancient grains bowls that somehow don't taste like cardboard.

Drinks Without the Guilt

The cocktails use fresh juices, herbs, and ingredients you can actually pronounce. The Refresher (cucumber, lime, tequila) is a staple, and the seasonal options rotate based on what's fresh. The wine list focuses on organic and biodynamic options, which sounds pretentious but honestly just means they taste clean. The beer selection includes gluten-free options if that's your thing.

Who This Is For

True Food Kitchen attracts yoga instructors, wellness influencers, people recovering from three-day benders, and anyone who wants vegetables that aren't deep-fried. The crowd during happy hour is a mix of locals who actually live here, hotel guests looking for something light, and people who are trying (and maybe failing) to make better choices in Vegas.

The Atmosphere

It's bright, airy, and the opposite of the dark casino vibes everywhere else. Natural light, plants, wood accents—it feels like a California health cafe that wandered into a Vegas casino. The energy is calm and positive, which is either refreshing or annoying depending on your mood. The staff is genuinely enthusiastic about the menu, which can feel cult-like but is mostly just nice.

Real Talk

This isn't the wildest happy hour in town. You're not going to rage here. But if you've been eating garbage for days and want something that won't make you feel like death, True Food Kitchen is a solid reset. The $5 beer and wine is cheap enough to justify the splurge on healthier food, and you'll leave feeling like you made at least one good decision this trip.
