If you are counting calories or looking to be healthy, this is the place for you. It is tons of vegetables and, appropriately, protein. I love the Buffalo Salad but need to add extra blue cheese and tons of hot sauce. There are a lot of other good salads and bowls too. I am just obsessed with that one. There chili is good too. read more

Incredibly expensive! Definitely not a place I would stop daily, but I do come about once a month... if they lowered the prices, I'd come a lot more! I like the Wrigley Peeled shake.. and that's about it. I had the oatmeal last time and it was very very bland. Would not get it again. read more

My first order from here and probably my last. The salad looks like it might be ok, but the cold pressed raw juice I ordered has 29 grams of sugar in it!! A can of cola has 39 grams, so you tell me....where is the health in this? Shame on PB for peddling this as health food. read more

I fell ill with a stomach flu which lasted an entire week after eating here and passed by today to notice they are closed with blue tape on the front door indicating the reason being is for interior renovations. Very strange! read more

This place is awesome!! I'm generally skeptical of "healthy" eating places, but my good friend loves them so we checked it out. A guy (I think his name was Rich?) helped me out, and just made it a super pleasant experience. Since i wasn't sure what I wanted, he made sure to walk me through a lot of the options and remained pleasant (and witty!) throughout my series of annoying questions! It was great. Had a great time and the food was actually pretty fantastic as well. High recommend! read more

Come here at least five times a week. The team is amazing! Oyuki, Karina, and Connie always make my experience a good one. The best place for fast quality food! read more

This was me and my boyfriends first time at a protein bar and we were both so underwhelmed. $23 for a wrap and a spicy Korean bowl. Now that would be a fine price for dinner if it was a suitable portion and delicious food but the portions were TINY!! And the food was pretty disappointing. My boyfriends wrap wasn't rolled correctly and his first 3 bites was pure tortilla and lettuce, all the fillings were at the bottom. My bowl was also super small and the meat was less than desirable tasting. Sorry was really looking forward to checking protein bowl out but the lack of quality, small portions, and over pricing sealed the deal on us never eating at another protein bowl again. read more

I am so happy to have protein bar in the neighborhood. It's exactly what we've been lacking- a quick, healthy, affordable option. I have tried all of the juices, a few of the blended drinks, as well as a couple of the breakfast options, and have loved them all. My only complaint (which is really not a complaint, as I love their food as is) is the lack of whole egg option on their menu. All of their breakfast options have egg whites in them, and I would love to get some healthy fats in with a whole egg. read more

Protein Bar & Kitchen - The DELICIOUS Hi-5 raw juice. - New American Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

The burrito was good and flavorful but the sauce was running and very messy. Good food but could use some refining.

Quinoa Bowls and the Guac and Roll are where it's at!...I wish they would build a Protein Bar in Oak Park,IL closer to where I work so I can eat there everyday! I looooooove that you can get a healthier, balanced meal at a reasonable price. Can't wait to try more new things off of their menu! :) read more

I had never been to Protein Bar before until recently. I probably looked a little overwhelmed when I walked in and a woman named Connie was more than helpful after she learned it was my first time there and even bought me an awesome smoothie on the house. I'll definitely be coming back for the healthy options and good vibes! Thanks again Connie!! read more

The food was just okay. Nothing special taste wise because it had so many beans in it that it was all I could taste (and also the spicy sauce) and the Mexicali bowl I ordered through doordash was only half full and the bowl itself was already small, which made the overall experience underwhelming and expensive. read more

The food is pretty bland, which is why there are huge bottles of hot sauce everywhere you look! With that said, it does seem fairly healthy, depending on what your health needs are. I try to eat low carb and while they have a few good options for me, there aren't enough things on the menu to bring me here often. The chicken chili is decent, if you add cheese and yogurt and onions, it's a little better but overpriced. I like all of the protein options for their drinks. read more

I have never had food poisoning in my life until I went to protein bar on Clybourn. Within 15 minutes of eating their buffalo chicken wrap I was more sick than I've ever been after eating a meal. This place is truly horrible I will never have protein bar again. read more

This place was actually awful. Undercooked egg white in the poached egg, a literal piece of bone in my boyfriends steak & lukewarm gross food.... read more

Have tried a couple of times - wanting to celebrate what it wants to be - but fails so consistently. It's not remotely convenient or fast - they need to take lessons for the successful chains on how to streamline food assembly. The service is clearly barely trained and the dishes I've tried taste remarkably similar and much as I'd expect river water soaked cardboard might taste. Fortunately - there are several great options of healthy food in the area which are tasty, great service and solid quality. read more

Staff are so nice! I messed up and didn't see that all bowls come with quinoa, to which I have an intolerance. They very nicely made a new bowl with cauliflower rice. Place is clean, fast, and delicious. Didn't see a tip jar. Will be back for the perk protein shake and spicy Korean bowl. read more

Went here when I was in Chicago last August and had the Asian inspired Saigon salad. It was so fantastic couldn't wait to go back there next time I was in Chicago. So today was the day. However there was no Saigon salad on the menu. I was told they re did the menu in January (2017). Honestly nothing else on the menu inspired me but had to order something. Got the southwest salad. 2 stars. Not good at all - so disappointed. So basically I wouldn't go back here again except to maybe get the matcha green tea smoothie which is fantastic. I ask the owner ---- Why would you take the best thing off the menu???? read more

This is probably the best tasting healthy place in the city. I go once in a while and although I should try different things on the menu I always get the Mexicali bowl. It was the first time I had kale & actually enjoyed it. The service was amazing and an employee by the name of Carlos was very helpful & nice. The first time I came I was obviously new to the whole protein thing and he was able to guide me and explain to me what was what and that's how I found my favorite bowl. I will definitely be coming back not only for the tasteful food but for the great service. read more

Came in on a Saturday and enjoyed the chicken chili and a Korean Bibi-q bowl. Food was very good, fresh, and flavorful. The restaurant itself was filthy, trash overflowing near the entrance/exit and dirty tables. Also, sunshine was pouring in through the windows which have zero shade covering, making it very difficult to enjoy the meal at many of the tables due to the blinding light. Will opt for take out next time. read more

1 star solely based on miserable employee who wasn't helpful when I was ordering, to the point I just walked away rather than be disrespected. Thanks protein bar. Horrible customer service. read more

I love protein bar. It is my go to for lunch (and dinner occasionally). I would give it 5 but the past couple times we have ordered from there, my order has been wrong. All I want is no cheese. I still got cheese. However, the manager is wonderful. I hope he gets profit sharing for his dedication and sincerity. My favorite menu items: -curry soup add chicken (winter only). I love it so much I buy a few extra bowls to freeze for a day I can't get there. -southwest salad no cheese - it is delicious and the perfect meal for a pregnant lady. So much protein and greens! Great for baby. -pier nut butter protein smoothie. Yum read more

Protein bar has a great menu with healthy and filling items. The prices are expensive but you get what you pay for when it comes to trendy and healthy options. However, that's not the part that earned this place 2 stars. The service at this Protein is HORRENDOUS. I've been here a few times and each time it's gotten worse. The 4 patrons that were there all had to wait well over 10 minutes and the staff simply, didn't care. This location is probably not an indication of the entire Chain, but it is a really poor service experience. If you're near the other locations, I strongly suggest that you go elsewhere. read more

Love this place. It is my go to for healthy good meal. Have been about 30/40 times and have basically eaten everything without any complaints. Like the new Verde bowl and love the hot sauce bar. read more

Protein, cute girls, and free parking? Yes please. I mean what else could you possibly want for a quick lunch break?? I've only been here twice and each time I was pleasantly surprised. Great service, super speedy and delicious. However I think there should be a warning to the unsuspecting patron. While the menu "looks" healthy, it's really not. Most of the popular menu items seem to have the same amount of calories and protein as a Big Mac from McDonalds. I guess if you're looking for quality wholesome food, fine, it's healthy. But lets be honest, no one really cares about wholesome organic foods, it's all about consuming less calories and shedding pounds. But in the meantime, I'm going to keep telling myself it's healthy and eating that uber delicious Guac and Roll bar-rito. read more

My 2 year old niece loves the kids pasta bowl! Our second visit today. Staff is really friendly and the food is nutritious and delicious!

Came here twice, once for breakfast and once for lunch. The customer service is as good as the food. It's not that I was expecting poor service but I was taken back by how welcoming and friendly the counter people were. This chain definitely has their act together. I liked it so much, I placed a catering order so I can could have healthy lunches all week since I don't live close by. They were on time for the pick up and everything was perfect. Wish a Protein Bar was on every corner like Starbucks. read more

First time I ate here I loved it. This time it's not so good at all. Service terrible I got a bowl with some kind of spaghetti sauce and quinoa and parm cheese. It tasted like a bowl of sauce. With hardly any cheese. I asked for more cheese and they said they would charge more for that. Prob worst meal ever I ordered a entree with cheese and they want extra for it. I won't be returning back. Only if they would of gave me cheese read more

I don't like it!!! It's too....I guess....to green for me. I feel like I'm eating leaves and grass from outside. It doesn't have much flavor...in their "salad bowls". read more

As I finished up my laser hair removal treatment (don't judge me hahah) I was driving home and was hungry saw Protein Bar figured it would be a great preworkout meal!! Can't go wrong with a food joint with protein in the name. The menu is right as you walk in, lots of healthy options. Right when I walked to the counter to tell them my order, two girls greeted me SO kindly!! They recommended I get the spinach and parm bowl I think that's what it was and one of the manhattan drinks. Both were great! The women just made the experience even better they were really inviting and great! Thanks ladies. Just left with a full stomach and new found energy to kill my workout!! Will be returning. read more

No bueno! Do they hire work release program individuals to get their feet back on the ground. Bad attitudes, bad service, dirty, and the staff is slow and have a could care less attitude. The individual making my $6 dollar smoothie decided to add more "ice" to make my smoothie thicker and fit the size of the glass instead of adding more banana and/or almond milk! For $6 do the right thing!! I will NOT return to this location! read more

I love the Protein Bar but this is the closest location to me. I love the Pancake Bowl and have them throw in some bananas. My husband got the Santa Fe in A Bowl also Very good!! Although I have yet to try something on the Lunch Menu but some of the Protein shakes are delicious! read more

Love the buffalo chicken salad. Also the avo-matcha smoothie is my favorite. Carry out is always fast and it is always clean when I dine in. My only complaint is that there is not a diaper changing station in the bathroom and I like to stop here for lunch with my son. read more

Please keep your seasonal the name is Saigon spring bowl !!! Words can't describe of how good it it !!!! Please keep it in menu

Eating healthy on the go has always been a struggle because it either takes too long or costs too much money! I am so happy to have discovered protein bar. It's great for a healthy post workout meal. Tastes amazing, feels amazing, wish I could give more than 5 stars! read more

This place was so excellent, I'm only sad it took me so long to visit one. I love all the good options and the reasonable pricing. Everything was delicious, I had a smoothie, Bar-Ito and a quinoa bowl (not all at once, I bought for my whole day) everything was great and high in protein and nutrition. The staff was super helpful. I hope they bring one of these out to Wicker Park. read more

I placed an order yesterday and it wasn't correct. Went back today and the manager was super sweet. Oyuki G rocks. She gave me a meal and a coupon. The food is amazing and I cannot wait to go back. read more

I visit this location frequently and today the cashier Maria didn't hear one of my orders so when the order was served, she apologized and said that the bowl was on the house. Very appreciative of the excellent service! read more

I've eaten here once in person and picked it up to go the second time. I want to like this place, there aren't many quick places to grab a quick, healthy meal near my building. Both times the wraps were soggy, tasteless and rather expensive for what you get. Practically dumped them in Sriracha each time to add some sort of flavor, and the second time I couldn't even finish the wrap. Won't be going back. read more

Amazing food and service. I was concerned that an item had too many carbs and Connie explained to me that the carbs are from vegetable not starch. Made me realize that carbs aren't enemy, only "bad" carbs. Bree made me a terrific Korean Bibi-Q bowl. Just the right amount of tang and spice. Will now be a regular customer. read more
