Corelife Eatery

This place has a lot of bad reviews so I was actually looking for reasons not to like it when I visited for the first time today. They had plenty of options for my Keto diet so I was excited to try it out. I got a large build your own salad bowl with steak. The portion was huge and had a generous amount of tasty steak. The cucumber basil dressing was really good as well. The cold ingredients were all cold and the steak was warm, as they should have been. The disappointment for me really lied in the lack of drink choices, or rather the abundance of strangely flavored drinks. Plain iced black tea (like every restaurant on the planet offers) would have gotten 5 stars from me. Instead there was some vanilla fig “tea” and a few other odd ones. The dining room is way bigger than I feel they will ever use at one time, and removing some of the big tapestry and hanging orange panels might open and brighten the place up a little. Otherwise I’ll definitely eat here again.

I like the concept of this place and the menu items are great. Price is fine for me, too. I don't get it very often because each time I do, I get sick. I have a feeling they are not keeping their food stored properly whether that be at the correct temperature, in a sanitary environment, I'm really not sure. Every so often I will try it again in hopes of a different outcome but today marks the last time I will ever do so. I got the steak & gorgonzola salad and although it tasted good, I was sick within three hours of eating it. I do not have any allergies so this is not a reaction in that sense, this is something else. Disappointing but something the staff/management may want to look into as I cannot be the only one who has experienced this.

I had to wait 20 min over the scheduled pickup time. I understand they are busy (That is why you run a business)..the staff did not even acknowledged the fact that i was waiting and i tried to get their attention but they will not even look at me..after 20mins they hand over my order and nothing...no sorry, no thank you. And they did not add an ingredient in my salad bowl. When we called to let the manager know, she was give excuse ' We were busy'..how rude!!! I will not recommend this location to any one

Didn‘t know about this place because we’re from out of town (ie Australia). But I found it when I searched “gluten free” on Google Maps, and CoreLife Eatery came up first. It ‘s a 10 minute walk from the Southpark mall. We were very pleasantly surprised to find good quality gluten free food at a very reasonable price. Highly recommended!

Food wise, I am in love- if I could rate it more than 5 stars, I would. Their ingredients are clean, extremely fresh (like that day- right in front of your face fresh), healthy choices but enough variety that people can choose and find something they would like, regardless of food preference. They have vegan options, vegetarian and also plenty of meats to choose from. Quinoa options- aka “power grains”, huge variety of different greens for salads, rice bowls, noodle bowls. The three star rating comes in because: they aren’t environmentally conscious and they should be. Clearly they promote clean and healthy living, that’s great. But when I saw all the plastic they use- from my carryout bowl to the straws, plastic cups, etc. I was really disappointed. They do have metal silverware and ceramic bowls if you dine in, but that’s not enough. I expect that stuff in other establishments (unfortunately), but I thought for sure a place like this would promote a healthy earth. I’m sorry to say, I probably won’t be back unless they make some sort of effort towards less plastic. Even just one thing, like only offering straws by request. Or paper based carryout containers. Something. Anything. Hopefully this will change in the future.

EDIT They now have naan bread "tacos". So, now no longer safe for those who need gluten-free. So disappointed. I will NOT be back. Old review: Excellent restaurant for healthy options. Only thing with gluten is a bread which is kept in a closed container. Our family loves this restaurant. Bone Broth bowls are awesome!
