My wife and I ate here on a Thursday night. She had the tuna poke bowl and I had a "special" Mediterranean bowl with meatballs. To drink, we both had unsweetened green tea with a splash of lemonade. Zero flavor to be found. Anywhere. In anything. The portion of tuna was laughable. The meatballs were dry. We paid $35 to eat half of our bowls and throw the rest away. Genuinely awful. read more

Awesome food and very clean establishment my family and I love to come here when we're traveling. Wish there were more CoreLifes near us. CoreLives? lol. read more

Our first time here and wow ..what a disappointment ! Maybe 5 customers in there ( should have been a sign right there ) and the staff .....well I've seen more personality from a robot . They were not welcoming or helpful at all , just going through the motions . My Thai chicken noodle bowl was bland and the vegetables tasted old not fresh . My boyfriend ordered the Southwest chicken with purple rice in a wrap and they gave him a bowl with the bare minimum of ingredients and some chicken pieces loaded with black pepper. The water dispenser was clogged with who knows what and the drink dispensers were all needing to be filled as they were low . All the napkin dispensers were empty so I had to ask for some . From what my boyfriend told me the men's room was a disgrace - toilet seat on the floor , toilet wouldn't flush properly and it was dirty . I have to say that the whole restaurant looked grungy and dirty, not welcoming at all . And when you see a restaurant has large barrels with trash bags bungee corded in right in the dining area....,turn around and leave ! Our lunch cost just over $27 and I feel like we got screwed over and over charged for subpar food and dismal service, huge disappointment for us today . I ended up tossing the rest of my bowl as it was mostly cabbage , off tasting peppers and way too much dressing . read more

This place is amazing! It is located in the Belmont shopping centers it is conveniently located near many shopping/errand places. They offer healthy food options for ANY wants or needs. My friend and I wanted to have take out after a long day. We each got different boxes and easily placed our order online. We arrived a tad early but our meal was ready. Everyone raved about their meal and were pleased with how fresh and hot everything was. Don't forget to check out the tractor drinks. The options are fantastic. The staff was so friendly. And the restaurant is very clean. I can't wait to return. I'd give it 10 stars if I could. read more

I really do not like leaving negative reviews but I'm concerned about this location as far as health codes go. I have eaten here a couple of times before I stopped coming in because of how off-putting the experience was. Employees seem very disinterested and confused about the food and offerings. The food is actually good, but if you go in an order you're greeted by so much filth. Dirty tables, unkept drink fountain, exposed light fixtures full of dust directly above the food, dust and grime visible around the register and payment card machine. Then when I ordered online, my food came dirty with food handprints on the container, the bag was sealed so it wasn't the driver. I also once received an entire chunk of avocado skin and the hard little top that connects it to the stem in my food. Hard pass here until I see what appears to be an inevitable "under new management" sign hanging outside. This place is at a great convenient location, is spacious and nicely decorated, however, this particular establishment is lacking in quality control and standards. read more

Price is insane. $14 for a few pieces of chicken and a hard boiled egg on a salad...not worth it. The food quality is really great though. Fresh ingredients and the smoked chicken has a great flavor. read more

CoreLife Eatery - BYO bowl - Salad Near Me - Lancaster, Pennsylvania

The service here was terrible. I came into the restaurant this past week with my registered service animal and the manager told me that I could not have a dog inside. I then tried to explain that she is a registered service animal, and that I could give the manager her US SERVICE ANIMALS ID number, but the manager declined and said it was health code and the dog had to go outside. She then rudely told me, "I have an emotional support animal at home I understand". To which I said, "She is not an emotional support animal, she is a service animal. Legally, she has every right to be here." The manager declined again and I had to eat outside in the freezing cold with my service animal. This is 100% against the law, and if this company and location keeps this up someone may try to sue. I emailed their corporate office but haven't received any response. 10/10 do not recommend a company that doesn't follow the law and treats people with disabilities like this. read more

Usually a decent place to grab a rice bowl or salad but now with CAVA right down the road I think they're feeling the pressure. Stopped in last night after my husband was craving a rice bowl and I wanted a salad. Decided to try their new Italian Classic Bowl and what I got was a sad bowl with maybe 6 pieces of lettuce, 3 small "roasted" tomatoes and a small scoop of chicken, minimal toppings. They ran out of onions and peppers, a main part of that bowl, asked what I wanted to substitute so I said a few pickled red onions thinking ok I'll just have a reg Italian salad now, only to have it doused in red onion. Husband got the chicken ranch bowl and his portions were skimpy as well. Asked for extra avocado and a side of mac and cheese twice before we were able to get them and overall service seemed slower than usual. Not sure if our person was new or what was going on. Other customers looked like they had larger portions than we did so maybe it just depends on who makes the entree? For $28 for 2 reg bowls, side of mac and cheese and a drink, it felt way over priced for the portions we got. I left hungry and went next door to Jersey Mikes for a sub after. Might be taking a break from here for the foreseeable future and just make our salads at home. read more

Super bland fast food, but they charge cafe prices. I should have known better than to order Asian food from anywhere other than an Asian restaurant. Ethnic ingredients were improperly prepared, etc. I definitely should have known better, I got a terrible meal that I was overcharged for, and I won't be back. I'm sure this is a good place for people who are following specific diets, but for a lunch spot, I was not wowed at all. read more

We tried out this place for takeout when staying nearby. I had the chicken cobb salad; it was pretty good but they left out the bread I requested, and the chicken was pretty bland. My husband built his own and liked it but found the tofu to also be very bland. if we lived nearby we would try it again because it seems like you can get great meals, but next time we come to the area we have other places we want to try first, since it was just average. read more

I stopped in 20 minutes before closing time. I got the impression that the employees were annoyed that I came in. They already had some of the utensils put away, containers closed up and getting ready to close up shop. I get that I was there close to 9, but I wasn't eating in and I only ordered one small bowl. It literally took 5 minutes to throw it together. The meal wasn't bad, but not the rave reviews I've heard. I appreciate fresh, healthy ingredients, but I'm not sure what sets this place apart from other healthy fast food options. Maybe it was just a bad experience. read more

The lady behind the counter was super helpful and recommended a delicious create-your-own bowl. read more

I love all their food! It is so fresh and the flavors are amazing! The bowls are so huge it's enough for two meals.

Yum, yum, yum! Was a bit skeptical because of how it is touted to be a healthy, sustainable, nut & bean, etc etc....So...not me, but wow. Delicious. Service was fast, efficient and with a smile. Food fresh and tasty. Will definitely return! read more

I dined here at the recommendation of a friend who doesn't enjoy eating healthy but really was impressed with her experience. I decided to try them out around 7 pm on a Saturday night. Wanting to get take out I never expected to be there as long as I was. First in the lane to enter the lot, which I sat for a good 10 minutes or so due to the Chick-fa-la traffic, than another 20 minutes in line inside the building. Thinking they were new by the crowd and inabilities of the staff to make it from memory I was completely surprised to learn they've been open for 5 months! I grabbed a paper menu at the door and stared at all the colorful dish choices displayed on the wall and on the menu, neither of which had prices. Until you're at the counter ordering there's no indication of what anything costs. A paper menu with no prices?!? Totally unacceptable in my book! Some of the selections available were grain bowls, broth bowls, salads, and platters; each customized to your preferences. I ordered a cobb salad which sadly didn't look as tantalizing as their pictures and was supposed to be a mix of kale and romaine. Mine consisted of mainly kale; which is fine for a side dish, but rather chewy when you have an entire bowl of it. The chicken texture was more like tofu than chicken and the dressing tasted store bought. The employees all seemed brand spanking new, making each dish from menu cards they kept referring to and were not the least bit efficient nor confident with their skills. It was similar in production to a Subway. It took forever to get thru the line, each employee less skilled than the last. I even needed to remind my "maker" that my salad comes with dressing. For the price (around $10 for the salad alone) I was not impressed by the taste, value, or service. The highlight however was their fountain juices and lemonades, all with unlimited refills. Sampling is encouraged by the staff and it was difficult to find a favorite as they were all delicious. For better variety, ease of ordering, product value and taste I'd recommend Saladworks vs CoreLife. But if you do try them out keep in mind the poor layout of their location and close proximity to Chick-la-fa - which will surely cause delays. Your best bet is to come on a Sunday so you won't have to deal with the chicken traffic. read more

2nd time eating at this chain. Nice concept BUT having warm rice is defeating when all the toppings are ice cold. Pickled cabbage slaw needs to be shredded smaller. Way too chunky. Should have stuck with the tacos. read more

Delicious fresh and healthy food. If you are eating clean, are vegetarian or vegan, or just don't want fried and greasy food this is THE perfect spot for you. They have salads, noodle bowls, broth bowls and rice/grain bowls. You can choose meat and various other toppings or just order an option from them menu. They are very sensitive to food allergies as well which is great. Everything is assembled in front of you which is always a plus when eating fresh. There is a decent variety of menu options or you can create your own bowl. The teas are unsweetened and lemonades are sweetened (of course). So glad to see such healthy and yummy options popping up locally. The owner was very nice and promised another restaurant is coming to camp hill in May 2019 eeeekkkk! My faves: Spicy Thai noodle bowl and cranberry cayenne lemonade. The lemonade was so interesting with mills heat and perfect flavor to balance. read more

I went inside this place about two weeks ago and I have already tried several items on the menu but my GO-TO is the Greek Salad because DELICIOUS, that's why! I am completely obsessed with the hummus and the fresh of this salad. Pure bliss. Staff is also patient and helpful. read more

Healthy delicious quick friendly staff affordable I bought my friend lunch and we combined spent less than $20 for some of the best healthy food I've ever had. Lancaster County known for its healthy, PA Dutch cooking of flour, butter, sugar, finally has something that health-conscious folks can get quickly. There is Silantras downtown but nothing convenient to drive to. Now, it's in a new Benton shopping center that has bananas parking. Bananas traffic. Bananas! I'd do order ahead if I'm on a lunch break for work. My salad and my friend cheddar soup and coconut curry sipping broth were all great. I'd come back and will be back. It's crave-able healthy food with real ingredients that you can make into a salad, power bowl or broth bowl. read more

I got here on my lunch break often. I ran into a really rude lady working there one time and that's the only reason I'm knocking off a star. She gave attitude from the minute I placed my order and I tried not to be rude but my portion was a lot smaller as well, like she didn't care. When she printed my receipt and saw I didn't leave a tip she rolled her eyes and crumpled it and threw it in the trash. I did speak to a manager and they very apologetic about my experience and promised it wouldn't happen again. And it didn't. I also never saw that lady again so I'm guessing it just wasn't too right Job for her. The food is always amazing, I get the purple rice southwest chicken. Flavor is great and I really enjoy their purple rice. Price is reasonable for what you get and the location is perfect! Location is good although you sometimes get stuck into the Chick-fil-A traffic overflow. I like that there are 10 minute parking spots so I can quickly grab and go, being in the Belmont shopping center makes it super convenient as well. Overall great place to go for healthier option compared to chipotle! read more

So this place, I don't know how long it's been opened, but my boyfriends friend wanted to eat here for lunch. I'm not a health food nut, but to be honest, I actually liked the food here. I got their BBQ Chicken Ranch Rice Bowl, and a cool thing is, I was able to customize it so I got it without tomatoes. I don't know exactly what jicama is, but the food was delicious! Add in the selection of drinks which no sodas were in sight at this place. Even though the food was good and the service was pretty fast too, I'm probably not going to eat here unless someone else wants to go here. It shouldn't deter anyone from going here because this place is nice, but as I said, I'm not too much of a health nut to want to eat here again, but maybe I can be convinced by friends to go with them here. read more

Food was not good at all and way to high priced for two people. The preparers were miserable as many have said in their reviews. Health code violations everywhere. Raw meat laying out next to the grill. Preparer throwing food in you bowl and missing, then picking it back up and putting it back into the general bin. The tropical green tea looked like it had something growing in the container it was in, along with the other 5 juices next to it. Food on the floor, all over the signage on the table. Gross, wish I could have said something good but it was bad. read more

Tried this place for the first time this evening. The food was delicious! My favorite was the Greek chicken taco, but their steak bacon & bleu bowl and broth bowl were also good. Only 1 issue--each food item was missing an ingredient, so we had to ask for those items to be added. Otherwise, a good experience. We'll be back! read more

The concept is great, okay to have healthy meals. But find salads don't have really much salad or veggies. Better to have create your own than the ready ones. Can't totally blame staff like everywhere understaffed read more

If you like to eat vomit get the Mac and cheese, however the bowls were pretty good. Do not recommend the sides.

Definitely amazing - so white (in terms of people) and so healthy (in terms of food)! Part of me wants to scream at all these people to go to the goddamn thousand farmers markets around here but the other half appreciates that this exists to balance out the neighboring deep fried chicken heart stopper. I had a kale bowl with a tiny bit of dry falafel and plain hummus. My friend had a "noodle bowl" which was really a cabbage bowl with a couple noodles. Nothing very exciting but certainly nutritious. Service was excellent. read more

Went on a whim. I got the Spicy ginger steak and rice noodles. For a place that seems proud of their broths, this was pretty tasteless. In fact, it tasted like water. The steak tasted like it was boiled. Literally just tasted like flavorless texture. Other dish ordered was spicy chicken Thai bowl. Also, pretty tasteless. They use the sauce to mask flavor. Also only had a couple small pieces of chicken. Would give 0 stars if I could. read more

We loved the concept of a healthy fast food that has a lot of flexibility. My grandma ordered the Curried Chicken Bowl and when we sat down to eat, it was luke warm-almost cold. I brought it back up to the counter and they quickly made her another one. It was slightly better, but I really don't trust the temperatures they're keeping their hot food at. I had the Poke Bowl and it was yummy. I think this is a great spot for vegetarians, vegans, and health conscious folks. However, I would choose a Panera over this eatery any day. We won't be returning read more

Traveling through Lancaster and needed a gluten free restaurant for lunch. If you have food allergies this is a great choice. The whole menu is gluten free and when you're greeted at the door they tell you to let them know if you have food allergies and a manager will assist you. I was expecting a small independent restaurant but it appears CoreLife is a chain. It's like any fast food restaurant in terms of set up and ambience. Pretty loud and crowded at lunch time, but line moves quickly. Food was very fresh. We had the Southwestern chicken and Steak with bacon and blue cheese. Both were good but I found the Southwestern a little bland. Staff is pleasant and perhaps a little over zealous ( one kept asking if we'd like her to take our trays). Overall a good choice for anyone with allergies or GF. read more

My 1st experience at CoreLife and I wasn't disappointed!! Eating Paleo can be difficult, but it wasn't here. I had a Chicken Bone Broth Bowl with beets, sweet potatoes, broccoli and an egg! So Yummy!

As good as it gets as far as healthy eating for an affordable price! Could live off this place.. you just feel healthy after eating here!

During this time- ordering online & getting curbside service is exactly what I am looking for. My salad bowl was delicious!

I started going to Corelife Eatery when it opened and have seen the quality of the food trend steadily downward. Health department reviews were another sign of the decline. But this week I thought I would give it one more try. The meals were horrible!! I actually poured one down the disposal!! I love bowls and am so sorry this place doesn't produce good food. Tastes are 'off' So sad read more
