This was my first visit to CoreLife Eatery and it seemed appropriate coming from Green Planet. I was looking for something to hold me over to dinner and avoiding fast food. I pulled up their online menu and found the tacos are just the right size. Many taco options, I went with the buffalo. I ordered online using Apple Pay (for the first time lol) and wait time was 20-25 minutes. It was not busy so that was a little surprising. They are using Grub Hub app when you order online, maybe that effects the wait time. I stopped back to pick up almost an hour later. It was in the pick up section that you can grab and go. Unfortunately not hit because I got side tracked due to unexpected wait. I loved the trendy ambiance and signage Indicating fresh, scratch, clean eating, and gluten free options. I took mine to go and this little taco did not disappoint! It was so fresh and bold tasting and the buffalo sauce was perfect amount and pop of heat. If I have found the perfect chicken wrap, in this case taco this is it! And this taco was in fact finger licking good! I can’t wait to come back and try more fresh scratch menu options!

I had a very uncomfortable experience at this restaurant and will not be returning. I believe I was treated differently and unfairly, and the way the situation was handled made me feel disrespected and unwelcome.
From the moment I arrived, the service toward me was noticeably different compared to other guests. I was ignored, spoken to dismissively, and my concerns were not taken seriously. When I attempted to address the issue, staff showed little interest in resolving it and offered no apology or accountability.
No customer should ever feel singled out or discriminated against while simply trying to enjoy a meal. This experience was disappointing and upsetting, and I hope management takes this seriously and provides proper training to ensure all guests are treated with respect and fairness.
I cannot recommend this place based on my experience This happened during night shift all the workers was super rude and food was not good

Im now done with Core - 2 emails to customer support unanswered- both went to JOTFORM, so someone got them. Inconsistent, customer service is easily 4/10, if you walk in and cant see that as a manager, you need better managers. I get it, its tough to hire. I like it here at Core. Just sick of having the consistent burnt chicken and steak no matter what time we get food. Thai noodles need a better line check for quality as they have been under cooked multiple times. There’s no way a consistent line check occurs if I am constantly seeing this. I’m there 1-2 a week. Black plastic on tongs, where is that going? its shaved down from the knife, or is that designed that way, why is double PORK only 5.5 ounces, what is a regular portion? Please do better

Worst service of all time (especially the manager) and they always get your order wrong.

I’ve been working with a personal trainer and following a strict diet — I’ve lost 65 pounds in the past four months. My trainer recommended CoreLife Eatery as a good place to grab a healthy lunch and even suggested asking for a specific amount of protein to stay on track.
Everything was fine until I asked for 8 ounces of chicken. The staff member rolled her eyes, snapped at me, and loudly made a point to the rest of the staff that I wanted a specific amount. From that moment on, everyone treated me with sarcasm as if I had asked for something unreasonable.
I’ve since noticed other reviews mentioning the same issue at the Camillus/Fairmount location — it seems to be run by a group of young employees who have very little respect for customers.
I won’t be returning to this location, and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone expecting friendly service or basic professionalism. If you work in food service, simple requests like this should be handled with respect, not attitude.

The food is good the only issue I had was the lady behind the counter I couldn't hear her speaking because she talked too low and there was a music and other people talking around me when I asked to repeat she did a visual instead of repeating like I was stupid I just couldn't hear her.

Everyone was nice except for the skinny guy working at lunch today around 1pm asked him nicely for double chicken and he scoffed at me then through a single piece of cut chicken on the grill and rolled his eyes. Kinda sad behavior considering I enjoy going to eat there. Won’t be going back if there’s kids who act like that.
I had the Korean BBQ wrap, cup of Mac n chz original, and a cayenne lemonade. It was all delicious! Loved the cayenne cranberry lemonade!

I love it here!
I've been here many times with my family; I love their salad, soup, and drink options. They have an array of options available, which are all very healthy and fresh.
The food is made to order and is always delicious. I love finding new salad places; I'm glad this place is very convenient.
I love trying different salads here and trying out different toppings and dressings.
I can't wait to stop back in.

Probably the worst core life I have been to. They usually heat up the chicken they add to your bowls this time they didn’t and also I didn’t get a servings worth of chicken. I won’t be coming back.

The food at Core is delicious when I go in person, but every time I order it via Doordash, the restaurant messes up the order or leaves items out. It has happened countless times. The drivers aren't supposed to be opening the bag so it's got to be the restaurant's fault for not packing the bag accurately. It's really frustrating as I'm not one to publicly complain, but it has happened every time I order from there. The receipt on the bag clearly lists the items that should be in the bag, yet every time there's either something missing or they screw up an ingredient. It's incredibly annoying. I doubt writing this review will change anything, people just don't care about anything.
