Candlelight, red checkered table cloth, Dean Martin singing in the background, the smell of bolognese wafting in from.... your kitchen?.... OH that’s right, you’re at home! But you reserved True Blue’s “Red Sauce” Pop-Up dinner so it’s like you’re experiencing the real thing! ♥️🍝🍷 Scroll left to check out tonight’s full lineup.

This beauty is another newbie on our lunch menu! 😍 The Harissa Beef Kabob, served with roasted garlic hummus, olives, barrel aged feta & sourdough focaccia. We’re drooling over here, but you should come try it out for yourself!
TGIF, not only because it is almost the weekend, but because it's "Twice as Nice" from 3PM-6PM! Come into True Blue and get half-priced bar apps and a Summer's Send off!
What is a Summer's Send off you ask? Well, it's the beautiful drink in this picture! Bright, boozy, and complex, the Summer's Send off is a gin forward cocktail with subtle notes of yuzu and fresh rosemary. Who can say no to that?!

Next up, we have Regalis Foods Truffle Honey. This completely edible honeycomb, comprised of a deep golden-hued star-thistle honey, is infused with fresh black Tennessee truffles from Chuckey, Tennessee. 😍

True Blue Butcher & Table updated their business hours.
While we are excited for 2021 to begin, we will need to wait just a bit longer. We have just learned that a team member tested positive for COVID 19. The health and safety of our staff, friends, and neighbors is our top priority and as a result of that we have made the decision to close for a couple of days and monitor our situation as we await results from the testing being done for every team member.
We are extremely grateful for each and every one of you that support us and it is with heavy hearts that we must take a pause from our conversations over the butcher counter, but we will not contribute to this terrible virus spreading; Especially to the people we love and care about.
As we learn more, we will determine and announce our reopening date. We so appreciate your understanding, your loyalty, and your support throughout all of this and will make sure to update you as we get more information.
We Are True Blue.
Happy New Year from the True Blue Team!
Although 2020 has not been ideal, it has been a year of growth for True Blue in many ways and as a small business we are extremely grateful for that. There have been constant ups and downs this year, from a complete shut down and not having the opportunity to connect with you over the butcher counter, to record breaking sales and collaborating with other local businesses. The downs of this year are obvious. On the other hand, the ups were all thanks to the customers, partners, family, and friends who constantly supported us. We could not have gotten through this year without you, so thank you, thank you, THANK YOU. We look forward to (like everyone else) seeing what 2021 brings.
We are closed today to get some rest after the crazy holiday season, but we will see you tomorrow!
2020 being over deserves an all day celebration. 🍾We are serving dinner from 12pm-9pm and if you do not want to dine-in our Goodbye 2020 DIY Kit has everything you need to celebrate at home! ✨Let’s celebrate 2020 finally being over together!
$5 for one of these beauties...it can’t get much better than that! 🍔😍
We will see you tonight for $5 burgers!
With COVID 19 restrictions, we know you can’t do a late dinner this year to ring in 2021...so why not celebrate all day? We have dinner from 12 PM TO CLOSE New Years Eve, so you can celebrate anytime you want! 🥂🎆 We will see you then!
Hi Friends! We are ecstatic to say that we are REOPENING tomorrow! We are extremely grateful for our team's dedication to keeping their fellow team members and customers safe. Every single employee that is returning to True Blue has tested negative on the PCR COVID 19 test. Additionally, the entire restaurant has been fogged and thoroughly disinfected.
We are proud of the protocols that we have implemented throughout the pandemic, such as mask and glove wearing, diligent social distancing and constant sanitizing. These protocols have kept True Blue as safe as possible during this virus and we will continue to uphold these high standards as the pandemic continues.
We are extremely humbled by our customers, friends, and neighbors support throughout this and cannot wait to see you all at True Blue again! We cannot think of a better way to thank you than doing what we do best; serve you with care and excitement!
The butcher shop will be open at 11 AM tomorrow. We will begin service in the dining room and bar at 3 PM! This weekend, we will return to our normal hours and begin serving brunch at 10:30 AM!
