Food life has Winedown the first Friday of every month. Low key yet social, great way to check out a lot of the wines Foodease carries & Mighty Nice serves!!!! A hidden gem of an event!
NikAroundChiFebruary 18, 2014Lots of delicious gluten free options. Custom made stir fry in the far right corner is my favorite. Great spot for quick, quality food at reasonable prices.
it's the most american place i've been to. it's everything to anyone. it's a zone of happiness in a world otherwise bleak and dark. foodlife is life. foodlife is haiku. foodlife = home.
Danny Alexander IIFebruary 11, 2013Get the Mexican food - it is delish. If you like cheesy, go for the quesadilla. It's extra-cheesy. Caveat: Be careful with the recharge card if you're working with a budget.
Lettuce Entertain YouJanuary 29, 2014It pays to belong at Foodlife! Earn points on every purchase toward meals, trips & wine. Ask your cashier about the Lettuce Entertain You Frequent Diner Club. Read more
Raksha RavikumarMarch 1, 2014Penne Arrabbiata was so tasty, but be warned: They're not joking about it being spicy! Be sure to order some garlic bread to soak up some spice/your tears of joy.
Rafael MarquezAugust 19, 2019You guys must make a better selection when hiring, not everyone is capable to work with the public and they damage and discredit your businesses.
BethersJRFebruary 14, 2013Something for everyone here so you can't go wrong. Ten dollars for entree, drink and dessert. Get in my belly!!!!!
Sign up for text messages (text "Foodlife" to 30364) and every Tuesday you'll get a text with a deal! Some have included buy one get one free slices of pizza, free soup with a sandwich, buy one get on
Love Foodlife, but find their practice of making you wait until they seat you very annoying. They have one or two seaters who take their sweet time, causing long lines to form unnecessarily.
The pizza is amazing, especially if you are really hungover!!!! Try it either way! And for breakfast try the sunrise special....mmmm SO good...but you can only get eggs OR french toast...not both! :(
LaShon AnthonyNovember 9, 2011Delicious food and such a variety. Love the way they give you a card, then you order from any station, and pay for everything after eating.
Ray ShiAugust 27, 2016Great variety of food! Mexican, Chinese, Salad and many many more. Bar also available!
Overpriced, but hey, it's Water Tower Place. Get the Nutella crepe with strawberries & whipped cream. Worth it.
Make sure to try one of the everchanging, unique gelato flavors: the waffle cones and plain cup are equally priced, so I recommend the chocolate covered cone!
Chloe KayananSeptember 30, 2012Great concept,must try! Had the spaghetti bolognese which was flavorful :-) hot fudge sundae was yummy too
Genesis JordanFebruary 13, 2013Try the butter brickle ice cream sundae awesome treat to end your meal with at the MITYNICE bar &grill
Richie BellefeuilleOctober 9, 2017So much to choose from. It would be hard to NOT find something you like!
On weekends, the breakfast is amazingly delicious. Not the cheapest, but worth it. OJ tastes like it was squeezed by god him/herself to allow us mere mortals to taste paradise in a plastic cup.
Serena BonitaJanuary 30, 2013They brought back the $10 after 5pm deal! Plus all day Sunday! Dinner, drink and dessert for $10.
Hamid Alan9aryMarch 5, 2012French toast was amazing, the other things I tried were average. Portion was huge for me; had the 3 eggs, hash brown
Yeah, I'm stuffing myself (and spending too much money) at Foodlife, today. The roast turkey was really good.
Princess MelissaMay 4, 2012The weekday lunch deal $8 includes entree and beverage. This is a shrimp stir fry with green tea (:
Jake SmithOctober 29, 2012The small side serving of fried rice is humongous. A great deal for about $4.00!- the main problem is that it closes. something so powerfully good, so wonderfully intense shouldn't close. doesn't it tip the earth off it's axis, leave us existentially off-kilter, when closed?
If you text "foodlife" to 30364, they send you texts usually every Tuesday for a free item, buy one get one, or other dinner deals!
Foodlife is amazing. Mon-Fri $8 featured kitchen special. Always tasty choices for all appetites.
Jennifer DrinkaFebruary 22, 2010$10 meal deal--soup or salad, entree, brownie or cookie (DEFINITELY get the brownie!), and a drink. SO cheap! (and delicious)
The food life market has incredible lentil soup. Vegetarian and magical.
- Checkout the foodlife Market! Fresh food and tasty drinks =)
Jasmine HuffmanNovember 21, 2011Check out the new Foodease market. Love their groceries and wine bar.
It's essentially over priced glorified cafeteria food, but it's pretty cool and def worth checking out :)
Don't order the Stir-Fry if you're dining with others. 10+ minute wait times to prepare the food are not uncommon. They'll be long done by the time you get your food.
Jacqueline L.July 22, 2011Use discretion in picking out food, a lot of it is quite unmemorable. That card can rack up a hefty fee.
