    We had a big reservation and all went great. We placed our orders in a timely manner, got seated, and our food was served in about 20 minutes or so. We all had a variety of healthy foods and drinks including wraps, bowls, protein pancakes, air fries, and fruit. The manager was most appreciative of our business. The location was clean and the atmosphere was open and friendly. I would definitely visit the location again. I wish there was one where I live.

    Delicious, thoroughly enjoyed, perfect balance of protein, carbs, veg and sauce. 10/10

    Please. Go. This place was approved by my trainer! They have SOOOOO many options! One of my favorite parts of the ambiance. They have clips of Superhuman TV playing constantly. It's quite inspiring. The food?!? DELICIOUS! They show the amount of protein and carbs which is helpful if you are being mindful of how you eat. The staff was so helpful! They offered suggestions and helped me substitute options with grace. They encouraged me to try the Thai Monster and it was .. a great decision. Please. Go. It's pricier than most, however, it's worth it. Oh! Another thing! The Bison and Steak were cooked to perfection. They ask how you like it cooked and delivered fairly well. So, again... please. Go! Also, open one in St. Louis, please!

    I have seen this restaurant from the highway and I was always intrigued about it and I wanted to try it. This Saturday, I remembered that I had not tried the restaurant so I decided to give it a shot. I walked in and I loved the fact that it was clean. I ordered a bison burger medium with sweet potato fries and their chocolate mini muffins. The burger was served well done and it was a bit dry. The fries were cold and old or very soft. The taste of the burger was good but it was dry so I had a lot of ketchup yo go with it. I did not say anything to the staff because my rule is to never send food back. I will give them another shot in a few weeks as I think it may have been an exception and not the norm. I gave them because the restaurant was clean, the staff was friendly and efficient.

    My husband & I are big gym rats. Any opportunity we can, we will try to drive over to Protein House. The staff is incredibly accommodating, and no request seems to be too great for them. They're always super knowledgeable & I think I end up making a new friend every time we go. The best part of going, is having the macros listed out for you - it is a great chance to get your protein filled while also being able to see what you're consuming. Their drinks are always delicious & I always recommend grabbing something to take home for later. We love our protein house!!

    More seating with high top bar style- cool!

    Came here for the smoothieeeees!! Protein House did not disappoint. Got the Apple Butter, no yogurt, vegan protein. FANTASTIC!! It was a liquid apple pie put into a protein smoothie and I couldn't get enough of it. 24 oz cups - great portion! And for the price! My friend got the Ms Skinny and my husband got the Green Beast. They loved them. Total spent was $26.xx before gratuity. During pandemic protocol, no masks are required to enter. Employees were not masked. Social distancing is marked out on floor. Dine in is open and very spacious. Customer service was great and very helpful. Visited during a holiday at breakfast time and it was a good pace of customers. Not sure why Protein House has mediocre reviews here in Yelp but I thought they were great! I look forward to coming back for the food. Some vegan/vegetarian options were available and looks like they can customize the recipes to be vegan/vegetarian.

    This hit the spot! I was looking for a light lunch that wouldn't weigh me down the rest of the day. This is what my friends and I got. The portobello chicken sandwich was delicious can't wait to have it again. My friend said salmon wrap that was bomb! Place is clean and staff is very friendly and helpful with the menu. I will be back!!

    I had high hopes for this place based on reviews. The inside is an order at the counter concept which led me to believe it would be quick. I waited 30 mins or more for my food. I was there about 11:30 on a Monday. I ordered the bison burger medium rare and I was much over cooked in my opinion and not very warm. I do think it would have been tasty if prepared correctly.

I had asked her twice if they could turn the music down, which she did ask the guy behind the bar, I don't know if he was a bartender or a cook, but I heard him say what do they want, I've turned it down four times. Well, yes, I did overhear that I was sitting very clause to the bar. It was very rude of him, and I had been very kind and requested that the music be turned down some. The food was pretty good, I had the fig and creamy goat cheese flatbread. Overall, it might be a very good place for other people, rudeness is not acceptable.

While a bit of a hidden gem off of 86th Street, the building is modern, chic and inviting - with a large covered patio area connected to the north side of the building. The one negative is that the temperature is kept very cold inside, so consider bringing a sweater or light jacket to stay comfortable. Unfortunately, tonight was a bit cold outside, so it was a coinflip on which was better - we opted for the patio seating and the wind settled down during our visit to get quite comfortable. We started with a Cuban Martini and Sojito (see picture) along with an order of Bang Bang Shrimp (see picture) for an appetizer. We enjoyed the drinks and the Bang Bang Shrimp with the drizzled Yum Yum-type sauce was delicious! For our main courses, my wife ordered the Thai Pasta (see picture) and I opted for the Fig, Avocado and Goat Cheese Salad (see picture). As is our custom, we both shared bites from each of our plates and liked both of them very much - although the Thai Pasta definitely had a bit more 'kick'. We ordered the Tres Leches for dessert (remembering it from our last visit), but unfortunately found that they were sold out, so had to leave without dessert.

First tip (and…read morethis is coming from a fat guy), seriously, consider the 1/4 lb anything before considering the 1/2 lb. We parked and walked up to the front window just after 11. They were cheerful and ready to help us, but we wanted to study the menu for a minute. They didn't bother us, but just made sure we knew they were there when we were ready. Great attitudes the entire time we were there. I got the double bacon burger, and she got the double cheeseburger. Both of them were delectable, but they must measure the weight after cooking the burger - because WOW. The bacon was nice and thick, but could've used another piece. Though honestly, I probably won't get bacon next time. Didn't need it. The chili cheese fries were otherworldly. We haven't found chili cheese fries. We liked that much in about 10 years. The warm food was warm. The chocolate shakes were awesome. Love that they only do chocolate shakes and specialize in it. It was like a frosty on steroids. Bottom line is don't wait as long as we did to have this amazing food.

No indoor dining or ordering: only drive through or window ordering with picnic tables outside. They're best known for their burger, which is good! The party could be better but the cheese mayo and mustard combo hits. Their fries are good and you can get them as chili fries or with cheese dip or ranch on the side. Their chocolate shakes are super thick and delish! Service is good and quick. Not the most amazing quality but a comfort classic.

We spent ~$300 with the meal, drinks, and tip. Of the ~8 courses we enjoyed 3 of them. The others were over cooked or poorly executed. They clearly were overwhelmed and could not deliver quality at that level of busy. Third visit was again for Happy Hour. Food was not as good as the first time, but better than the Anniversary dinner. Fourth visit was again at Happy Hour. Their Happy Hour is really not for drinks, it's for food. I ordered a generic cocktail that was not on the Happy Hour menu and was charged $17 for the drink. That overcharge kinda overpowered the rest of the experience.

This place is right on the corner, well maintained and has good signage. It lacks on curb appeal, but we came for the food, drinks and atmosphere. Upon entering we were greeted by big crowds and a very busy place. We lucked out and were able to sit right down (at the bar of course). The place is dated, and slightly divey but it has a lot of seating and the staff all seemed to be busy making it happen! There is a lot of table seating both high top and standard table and chairs. In addition to about 20 seats at the bar. Plenty of televisions with all types of content playing. Although it was busy we soon had 2 bartenders offering us drinks and menus. Shortly after we were drinking our beers and ordered some hamburgers. Kim opted for the regular hamburger with cheese and a side of fries. I ordered the jalapeño blue cheese burger. It was loaded with plenty of blue cheese crumbles and the jalapeños were a nice touch. I will say they were both solid choices. They make it clear that the $12-15 sandwiches do not come with sides unless you order the baskets. So sides are all in addition to the prices on the burgers. So it makes it a bit more expensive and for me $20 for a burger and fries is on the high side for anywhere in or around the metro. The service was good and as the crowd began to die down we ordered a second round. Though I feel the prices for stand alone sandwiches are high, at least the ones we had and the ones we saw delivered to other tables were pretty generous in size and the ingredients seemed fresh. All in all a pretty decent experience. If you are looking for a well made sandwich, in Grimes this seems like a good place to find it.
