The experience was exceptional. The food was expertly prepared, delicately plated, well portioned, and delightfully full of flavor! The volunteerism of servers, chefs, and table mates (busser) made our visit fabulous! It made giving to this charitable organization more meaningful. It is a genuinely unique platform for providing a service to community.

Nothing but good things to say here. Everyone was so sweet. I came here alone and was sat at a table with other people dining by themselves. The person across from me would occasionally chat with me which was very nice. It seems like an amazing community. I got the chicken apple sandwich and it was DELICIOUS.

ok, so it was NOT a pleasant experience for SOOO many reasons... 1) we couldn't get into the patio door and had to walk all the way around although staff was STARING right at us 2) we had to make a profile/reservation to be seated although only 10 people was in the restaurant 3) they say farm-to-table which isn't true..i asked for egg whites and was told no, we can't do that!! 4) you can't customize anything..it has to be served as it's listed on the menu 5) you CAN NOT take your leftovers..we ended up leaving 70% of our food on the table (as seen in the photos) 6) there are NO prices on the menu the only good thing is that it is a TRAINING facility for inspiring chef's and they allow people to complete volunteer hours (if needed). Corey, one of the servers was very patient, kind and respectful.

Love this concept! Delicious food and the staff here is incredibly kind. Definitely make a reservation ahead of time, especially during lunch hours. They have a rotating menu; I’ve been here maybe 3-4 times and each time the food has been very quality! We all left feeling full with our individual entrees. They do not do takeout boxes so order what you know you can finish with dining in! Only one entree item per person; appetizers, drinks, and desserts available other than that! You pay what you can, maybe a little more if you have the means to. Employees are all volunteers. We loved our server Donna. Love the concept and the community aspect behind it — definitely give them your support!

Been here twice.. kind staff, most are all volunteers. Quick disclaimer based on the establishments name: This place is here FOR THE COMMUNITY. Not your typical restaurant establishment.. they don’t put prices on the menu bc they want everyone who lives in the community to be able to come here, eat and experience the well crafted food items.. and pay out of sincere appreciation, even if that means pay just what they can. The food.. I mean it speaks for itself. Every ingredient is thoughtfully crafted and prepared. I cannot emphasize how much flavor and true attention to detail they place, enough so that the place continues to STILL Run and feed people from every living background/circumstance. The best flavor in it all is that you can taste they sincerely care.. They rotate the menu seasonally, so if there is something you want to try.. be sure to do so before the next menu drops. Yes, the policy is one dish per person but (you can guess why, dfw..) you can also add a small plate with it.. which is so kind of them to allow.. but sincerely, I can barely walk out of the place after just eating the main dish .. bc the food truly hits the spot and fills us up. If you’re looking to try good scratch made gourmet food and a warm experience this is your spot.. If you’re used to getting absolutely everything you want in life and modifying every aspect of the food craft when you walk into an establishment, leave this spot in peace, drive to Dallas and go to moxies.. these guys are out doing themselves, doing the Whole World a Major Solid .. and changing the restaurant industry for building a concept/ establishment such as this. Aside from that, doit avoir!!
