    This place affordable & what I really like is that you get your moneys worth with the amount of food they serve you. I paid $13 for the southwest bowl & I honestly enjoyed having a variety of mixed veggies. Very filling, the service was fast and easy, came here around 12:10. Place is clean as well.

    Order

    Absolutely terrible. I almost doubled the price of my bowl with add ons, yet received the same amount of food as my friend's ordinary order. Salmon and steak was unbearably dry-- I don't think I could have swallowed without water. Half the portion of my steak was straight fat. Place was so bad it actually made me mad. Definitely choose Sweetgreen, Chipotle, or Cava rather than this place.

    Honey Granola Parfait
    Will P.

    Stopped by Protein Bar and Kitchen and ordered the Honey Granola Parfait. The Honey Granola parfait came with Greek Yogurt, strawberries, blueberries, chia seed, granola, and raw organic honey. It was super good and had 17 grams of protein. Also ordered a black iced coffee which was very refreshing and light. Seating is spacious inside and they also have outdoor seating as well. Service is very quick and the workers are very friendly. This location is right next to a LA Fitness Gym which is super convenient for a post work out snack!

    Gross. Never order the power plant bowl. It was more liquids than a smoothie! It was a bowl of green ice and watery almond milk. I ordered the power plant bowl with strawberries and granola, and paid for extra blueberries. NO JOKE: there was one strawberry, 7 blueberries, less than one 1 tablespoon of granola. What a waste of money Note: My food was through uber eats.

    Whether you're in need of a lil pick me up or an after workout snack, I highly recommend Protein Bar! I eyed Protein Bar next to the LA fitness I workout at for awhile before finally trying it, and I'm so glad I did. The first time in, I wasn't familiar with their menu/modifications, so I accidentally ordered a shake that had whey protein in it (make sure you look at all the ingredients, unlike me!). The staff was so understanding and when I went in to reorder a new one, they so kindly made me a new one without charging the price of a new smoothie I love the various modifications you can make to any item on their menu, and the fact that they highlight what items can be made gluten free and/or vegan The man working when I went in was able to modify my many substitutions without complaint and even offered me an added energy boost, which came free of charge My warning to you, if you're like me, it'll easily become your workout "reward" (becoming an everyday treat)

    Mexicali Bowl with turkey bacon
    Samuel A.

    Protein Bar lives up to its name. Very solid, healthy food packed with clean carbohydrates and protein. Opted for the mexicali bowl with added turkey bacon. It was tasty and fresh. I wish the portion was a smidge bigger, especially for the price of the meal, but understand that fresh ingredients have some inflated prices at this time. Another solid lunch through Fooda delivery service. Thanks PBK!

    Just wanted to grab something real quick. I love their avo matcha drink. Service is good and place is clean.

    You'll be surprised how good this place is! I stop by at least once a week. Service is fast and friendly, and the restaurant is super clean! Highly recommend visiting this location to anyone looking to enjoy a healthy meal.

    Vegan salad
    Kathy M.

    I have heard of Protein bar plenty and love that Oakbrook has one. Just stopped in to grab a vegan salad yesterday. The salad itself, kale, spinach, tofu, dressing, multi colored carrots and quinoa. It was a great healthy quick grab while in the go. I tried to get my son to get something but he defaulted to chipotle. But I love that they have meat and no meat healthy options. As for the salad. I would omit the celery since I don't love celery but it was all very fresh and very good. Will come back again.

    Avo Matcha
    Eric G.

    Take this review as you will but just know I have only had protein shakes here and no food as of yet! Once I do I'll update but what I can say is that these protein shakes are an absolute must! The Avo matcha was recommended to me by the cashier and I'm so glad I took her recommendation cause now I'm addicted! I have tried other shakes and their all great so can't go wrong with any of the other choices

    The Perk
    Vanessa G.

    Great spot to pick up a quick lunch. Food and protein shakes were tasty and love that you're able to get a healthy meal What I tried: The Perk - espresso whey protein, chocolate whey protein, house-made cocoa malt & almond milk (25g of protein) Wrigley Peeled - organic peanut butter, banana, agave, chocolate whey protein & almond milk (25g of protein) Mexicali - chicken, corn, black beans, cheddar, warm kale, salsa, spicy tomatillo lime sauce, chipotle Greek yogurt topped with guac served over quinoa Spicy Korean - beyond beef meatballs, diced cucumber, spinach, pickled red onion, pickled carrot & sweet and spicy chili sauce served over cauliflower rice Everything had such good flavor and the employees were so nice. Can't wait to go back and try other items and definitely want to try their breakfast food.

    Chick'n Tinga Bowl
    Meagan S.

    My new go-to for a quick lunch! My order was ready quickly and put on the shelf for easy grab and go. It was fresh, tasty, and I love how they have options for all dietary preferences--including vegan cheese! Their new chick'n menu items were so delicious, and the "chicken" pieces were so flavorful, tender, and meaty. The seating is open and airy, so it's a great place to enjoy your meal.

We have never been here before, so with Annie we were off to an excellent start! I ordered a Diet Cola, no ice and she said is Pepsi okay? I strongly prefer Pepsi to Coke so a win! I really hate any American breakfast and it is not because I am a vegan. Every American breakfast place is basically like 3 options - eggs and potatoes, pancakes/waffles/French toast etc. I find it very hard to believe that nobody might prefer a pizza, chicken nuggets a burger etc. Not everybody in the US has to want the same exact thing for breakfast every day and no other place is open in the morning. My American husband loves going out for breakfast and judges a place by it's Eggs Benedict.

First of all, you have to fight for your life in the parking lot trying to find a spot. Then, you enter the front door and are treated like you are a nuisance for coming up to the hostess stand. I get that you are busy, but you still need to treat people that are coming in to your business with respect. I sat there waiting and waiting..no food. No one cared to check. Just kept getting more and more crowded to the point where I was being shoved into the bathroom hall behind a sea of other waiting customers. The ambiance is loud, overwhelming chaos. Perhaps they need a better system or take on less customers. I wasted my Sunday morning in there. Definitely will only be returning in my nightmares! Not worth it! Plenty of better options in the area that actually WANT your business.

Originally our reservations was at…read moreanother tapas place, but unbeknownst to us the first place we chose closed for the night for a staff function. Having been to COA before, my brother and I suggested it which worked out even better than expected! First the service was top notch from beginning to end. Our server was Ana, who was kind, super attentive, and made some excellent recommendations that was delicious. The food is exquisite in and of itself. We ordered several hot tapas in addition to a mixed paella and three skirt steak tacos. A couple of the tapas only had three servings and seeing as how we had 4 in the party, she upped the amount to 4. Now that's called dedication. During the course of the night, one of the member's of my party had a slight accident. Well management (Carlos and Kim) was on top of it from the get go and GRACIOUSLY took care of us throughout the night, making sure our service was OK. Hospitality like this is rare because you don't see many members of management walking table to table to make sure their guests are having a good experience. And Carlos did that throughout the night. Come for the food, stay for the experience. You won't be disappointed!

When life gives you lemons (or a massive snowstorm)... My son and I immensely enjoyed our dinner at Coa, and coming from Houston, our bar is high. The menu is unique, fun, and diverse. With the blizzard outside, not many folks were there, so we sat at the bar. Anthony and Meg warmed the place up with their hospitality and exceptional service. There was also a third gentleman working the bar that brought five star service. I apologize for not remembering his name. I always notice how people interact with one another, and I noticed that all of the staff is working as a team, and positive and professional towards one another. A sign of great people with solid training. Our food was delicious. We started with the lobster empanadas and guacamole. My son had the tacos and I had the gamba shrimp. We highly recommend them all. I want to try the paella next time. I recommend the Toronja Martini, different and delicious. Thank you to Coa for making our unexpected day in Chicago a great experience.

The space is inviting and comfortable, easy to settle into. Service was exceptionally friendly. We were warmly welcomed and had a lovely conversation with Sara, the owner, which added a personal and heartfelt touch to the evening. Our party of four included a vegetarian and someone with gluten-free needs, and both were accommodated effortlessly. Always a sign of a thoughtful kitchen. We started with Aloo Paneer Tikki and Papdi Chaat, both excellent. The tikki was crisp and satisfying, and the chaat had that perfect mix of textures and tangy brightness. For mains, we shared Chicken Vindaloo, shrimp curry, Chicken Biryani, Mutter Aloo, and vegetable fried rice, all accompanied by warm, soft, slightly crisp butter naan. Everything was beautifully presented, well prepared, and balanced in spice without overwhelming the palate. And then... the cocktails. My friend and I ventured into margarita territory, one spicy and one with ginger, both crafted so well that we immediately ordered a second round. No regrets. If I had one small wish, it would be for music that leans more into the cultural experience. A sitar in the background or even Bollywood scenes on the screens would add an extra layer of immersion. That said, the American music playing was tasteful and unobtrusive. If you're in the suburbs and craving good Indian food with warm hospitality, this is your place. We'll definitely be back.

We ordered couple garlic naan and a cheese naan. Only issue I have is that complimentary rice should come with curries. This was not the case, but almost every Indian restaurant does this with the exception of a few. Good ambiance, nice wall decor. I'd order again.
