I'll be honest, this was nearly a three star review, but the service made up for the lackluster food. This was our first experience at Truth and Beauty, but the reviews (4.5 stars) and the online menu, both seemed positive. We went at an odd time, around 4 pm, so the restaurant, other than one big table, was empty. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable and answered all our questions. The strawberry rhubarb cocktail was very delicious. We ordered the Spicy Korean Wings, which were the best thing we tasted, that Totchos (Tater tots served nacho style) which were super basic, and frankly boring, the Fish and Chips, and the Burger. The fish was overcooked and the burnt bits of the breading were overpowering. The burger was fine, but nothing too exciting. We both agreed that the fries were a huge miss, limp, no crunch, and unseasoned. Again, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was okay (definitely loved the playlist and Beastie Boys art) but the food was underwhelming. Our check was $78.

Amazing New Year’s Eve meal. Everything was delicious but these mussels were a highlight.

I had the cat fish po boy for lunch and it was really good. The bread crispy and delicious just by itself. Art the perfectly seared catfish and the homemade remoulade sauce whoa! The owner/chef Doug actually came out to ask me how it was personally and we spoke briefly very nice guy. I highly recommend this place.

What a wonderful find! The atmosphere at Beauty and Truth is fantastic—very clean, modern, and comfortable with some great mellow rock music playing. From the moment we walked in, the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. ​We shared several small plates and honestly enjoyed every single one. The wings had a perfect medium spice, the Brussel sprouts were wonderful, and the salmon bites had an amazing sweet umami flavor from the sauce. The Tot*chos were perfectly crispy and clean-tasting. ​We also really appreciated how allergy-aware they were and their willingness to help us navigate the menu safely. A special thanks to the owner who took the time to talk with us—that really made the experience special.

Me and my partner went to Fredrick for the day and while waiting for brunch at another restaurant with a long wait, we walked by Truth and Beauty, so happy that we did!!! Lucky us we happened to try them on a day without a long wait, we were amazed by their selection of tasty and but healthy food and beverages. This was complimented by great service, everyone was super friendly and welcoming! The location is picturesque, so If you are in the area, stop everything and go here immediately!!

Service is very good. Attentive but not overbearing. The food is hot and made at time of order. I wasn't thrilled with the cheese fries but the steak salad was excellent and I strongly suggest you try the iced tea. If you get a seat along the front, there is a nice river view and there is outside seating for even better views.
