    Tri Tri-Tip Steakhouse

    Wife and I occasionally go here and have a good enough experience to come back. This time, not so much. Placed the order over the phone for a tri tip steakhouse bowl for myself and saucy buffalo chicken bowl for my wife. The tri tip steakhouse bowl was missing the rosemary red potatoes along with the onion crisps. Not to mention the laughable amount of trip tip steak that was included in it. Completely overdone and bizarrely small pieces. The whole point of going here is to get some decent protein in and this amount wouldn't fill up a bird. Wife's bowl was missing cheese, tortilla strips, cilantro and basil. Just glad we were able to apply a gift card to this order. Very disappointed!

    Regular Poke bowl

    Stopped in for a quick lunch today and tried the poke bowl. I have never been to a core life before so this was a new experience, it seems like you can order a bowl almost like being at chipotle or qdoba. The okie bowl has just the right amount of spice and tons of flavor. The girl working the register seemed to be taking her time but I had the time so I can't complain. I will definitely be stopping back by when I am in town again!

    Korean BBQ Pork

    I am usually the biggest fan of CoreLife. Healthy and delicious. Unfortunately had a terrible experience today. Ordered a Korean BBQ pork bowl and noticed the employee had no clue how to make it. Eventually she found it on the cheat sheet and started putting tiny pinches of toppings into the bowl. I ordered the large because I enjoy eating it for dinner and eating the rest for lunch the next day. This "large" bowl wouldn't have even weighed up to a usual regular size bowl. After finishing up with the rice and veggies, she started adding the pork. The pork container was obviously empty while she fished around for tiny strands of pork to add. The pork was about half the portion as usual which was on par with the rest of the bowl. I've never ordered a CoreLife bowl where the contents don't touch the lid while closed. This bowl had a consistent 2 inch gap between the food and lid. CoreLife is on the pricier side of the fast food experiences out there, but it's usually always worth it. Today, my $14 bowl was NOT worth it. Obviously the two kids running the place were very new so I don't blame them but still disappointed. As you can see in the picture, you can see much wall space within the bowl. Usually you can't see any because it's actually full

    Love this location it's so delicious and fresh, I love the build your own bowl option I get a ton of add ins and the bowl usually comes out to be less than 15$! Super affordable and everything is always really clean inside. The only downside is the staff isn't that nice and they're not great at handling big crowds when it's busy.

    Kids Chicken Quesadilla
    Kristi B.

    Honestly not worth the price we paid. Kids meal was super small with nothing included. Just the small quesadilla for $6. The Korean BBQ pork was fine. Nothing I would come back for. Then my moms southwest bbq chicken was lacking in portion size as well. Honestly this place is way overpriced for the food. Also no sodas so mom was disappointed. Service was short and to the point. Restaurant was clean and lots of seating. We won't be back.

    The Space

    The Bowl of Bowls!! I stopped into Corelife while in the SouthBend area. I had completed a gruelling workout at Crossfit South Bend and I was famished. I was looking for something different and not the usual fare. I asked the folks at Crossfit for a recommendation for someplace clean and healthy I could eat they told me this was the place to go. I walked in off the street and from the outside, it didn't look like anything special but once you walk in you are inundated by the colours and the motivational mottos already subliminally planting the idea that this is a healthy place to eat. Let me warn you, for the first-timer, check out the menu online first to grasp the concept. Once you walk in and it's time to order, you may be a little intimidated by the vast selections. Luckily, it was just after the dinner rush and the staff took their time, helped me pick a few items, and I was very surprised how my bowl turned out. I just happened to hit all my macros and micros, I had lean proteins, fibres, veggies and kept things relatively low carb. My meal turned out to be quite the feast and was delicious. Whatever your dietary concerns are, you're covered whether you're a carnivore, a Vegan, Vegetarian, gluten-free, etc, etc, you'll find something enjoyable to eat.

    I wouldn't normally rate this restaurant that high... but I am BECAUSE it's one of the few options…read morein Chesterton with organic food + friendly service. On our way home in 3 separate busses from The Field Museum in Chicago, we stopped at Chesterton, IN to get a quick dinner in 50 min or less. Quickly, we ran to Taco Bell to get my son his desired hard shell taco, and then crossed the road to Lemon Tree Mediterranean Grill for something more "adult". The staff were so nice and let me have free samples of almost everything while telling me about the owner's passion to use quality ingredients and hand made healthful and delicious salads such as tabbouleh, carrot salad and more! I opted to get a small bowl of chicken lemon and rice soup. It was very good. I had to save room for Smoothie King later. We were the only people from the 3 busses that dared to cross the road and I'm happy we did. Will come back the next time we need a snack or nosh on the way to or from Chicago. Thank you!

    A Mediterranean Gem in Chesterton!…read more My husband and I stopped into Lemon Tree Mediterranean and were absolutely blown away. We both had bowls with half chicken shawarma and half steak--each bite was bursting with flavor. The jasmine rice base was warm and fluffy, and we loaded up on all the fresh toppings: crisp cucumbers, juicy tomatoes, kalamata olives, feta, red onion--you name it. The real standouts? Their garlicky garlic sauce and spicy yogurt. SO good! It reminded me of a Mediterranean version of Chipotle, but way fresher and more flavorful. You get to build your own bowl, wrap, or salad, and they have amazing sides like grilled veggies, hummus, tabouleh, and even lentil or lemon chicken soup. The owners, David and Lisa, were so welcoming and kind--they really make you feel at home. We ate out on the beautiful patio and soaked up the relaxed atmosphere. You can tell everything is made with love and high-quality ingredients. Highly recommend this place if you're anywhere near Chesterton. It's fresh, fast, and full of flavor--what more could you ask for?
