CoreLife Eatery

Ordered a meal with extra steak for $4 and got 8 little cubes of steak that I’m sure can only be one serving. Ordered the kale chicken ceaser salad with two dressings and Parmesan crisps and got no dressing and no Parmesan chips. The website is terrible and gives you no place to get support or even contact info so they get this google review instead. Careless employees and incomplete orders.

I was just standing there waiting for service for over 10 minutes and was completely ignored. There was one employee and a manager present up front. The employee had taken care of the one customer that was ahead of me, then began working on an online order after I had already been waiting. There was no "sorry for your wait", but I did get a rude "hold on". Manager did not show any recognition at all. I used to love the food here but this is the second time where I feel blown off and unwelcome here. Today, they almost completely wasted the limited time that I have for lunch on a workday, will not make the same mistake again.

Please don’t read good reviews and think they reflect the honest shape of this establishment at present. This restaurant is absolutely filthy, where they prepare food, the dining area and near the trash cans was abhorrent. Food on almost every table, all over the floor. Behind the counter there was food and garbage all over the floor. Our food was 30 minutes being prepared when we ordered ahead for pick up. Nobody began to make it until we inquired about our order. Countless people were also waiting for over 15-20 minutes each. This place has taken a dive and if CoreLife cares about their image they will clean it up or close the doors. Disappointing as this is one of the only fresh options in the area. We were worried we would end up with food poisoning.

Im not sure what has happened in the past year, but 6 months ago this place was 5 stars. Every order was on time, accurate, and delicious! However this past month, I have ordered 4 different times, and EVERY TIME something was wrong. I paid for extra meat 2 different times and never got it. I placed an order online and waited 40 minutes for it PAST the scheduled time. After that I gave this place one more chance and again it disappointed.. the food tasted super bland, it was almost like they forgot the seasoning. And everytime I order sweet potatoes they came burned to a crisp 😭 WHAT HAPPENED??!! THIS CORE LIFE USED TO BE SOOO GOOD. Its so sad.

Service was super slow, they didn't seem too concerned that we had to wait more than 15 minutes beyond our scheduled order ready time (we ordered ahead). We also happened to find a hair in the food, but didn't want to wait another 20-30 minutes to get a replacement meal, so we just dealt with it. The food tasted good, but I expected that for the price. I also think you don't get much protein in their portions.

I was hesitant to try this place because I thought it would be too trendy but I'm glad I stopped in. A good value for the food you get on a wonderful menu with lots of high-quality fresh ingredients. be prepared to stand and figure out what it is you like or want from the menu. You order at the bar up front they prepare your food for you and then you can take it on a tray to your table. My wife tried the steak and it was very tough to chew, and I tried the beef and blue bowl and it was also very chewy. Everything was very tasty however. I have been there 3 times now and I'm zeroing in on The Spicy Thai chicken. I really enjoyed eating here and it's not that expensive.

This is an update from a previous negative review: Food quality has always been great but there were a few issues that thankfully seem to have been fixed. I experienced decreased portions but will say they seem to have returned to a decent size (what they originally were from my initial experiences). Almost all of the tables would be dirty but now when I go in, everything's clean. I appreciate the manager/s making the establishment a better place and can now give this place a good recommendation. Please keep it that way and thank you. I would certainly recommend this place.
