Life Time: Free Range Fast Food - Bend

Life offers breakfast, lunch, and dinner, along with both counter service and drive-thru options. The chicken strips and fries were cooked to a golden brown perfection, and the Elk Chili is a heartwarming treat on a chilly day. I also had the chance to try a breakfast dish on my way out of town, and it was just as delightful. The staff is knowledgeable and sensitive to dietary needs. Orders are placed easily at the kiosk, but staff members are on hand to answer any questions. If you prefer to dine outdoors, there’s a lovely outdoor terrace. The restaurant and restrooms are impeccably clean, which reflects their commitment to sourcing quality ingredients and serving others well. I would love to see this model of fast food in more cities!

Tonight, I ordered a gluten-free burger and fries, specifically asking for a regular amount of mayo instead of their usual sauce. Unfortunately, the fries were cold again, which is a recurring issue. Perhaps I was just fed up, but I only tipped $2 for my online order, which is less than I usually do. I paid just over $18 for my gluten-free fast food, and I didn't have to engage face-to-face. When I got home, I discovered that my burger had an excessive amount of mayo—at least a quarter cup or more. It was a mess! I mentioned something about the situation, but it just continued to spill everywhere. I'm not sure what went wrong tonight, but I feel it's important to warn others. Make sure to tip the teenagers at least 20% (even for online orders picked up at the drive-thru), or they might ruin your meal!

I had hoped for a larger portion given the price. I ordered the adult chicken strips, which resembled large chicken nuggets. The gluten-free and vegan batter was tasty, but the chicken itself was a bit dry, and there were only four pieces. The sweet potato fries were amazing—crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and not greasy at all! Unfortunately, the regular fries we ordered arrived cold, which was a bit disappointing. The restaurant also has a lovely outdoor terrace for dining. We will definitely return to try more from the menu!

My fiancée and I were in town for a wedding and were here for a quick lunch. We were destroyed by what was good. The sweet potato fries were incredible and I loved the thin chicken strips. He ranked the burger he had in the top 5 of the best fast food burgers. The outdoor dining area was nice, self-service order was easy, and the place was very clean. I would like to have one of these restaurants here in Portland!

This place is great, super quick and easy to get your food. The sweet potato fries are spot on and they have a tasty house sauce. It wouldn?t feel so pricey if fries were included with sandwiches and burgers. Solid spot overall.
