    Bulk up bison
    Carissa S.

    I've been coming to Protein Source for a little over three years now, and it's easily one of my favorite healthy places to eat in Las Vegas. The food is always fresh, tastes amazing, and the portions are generous. I've noticed it's under new ownership now, and the new owner is incredibly friendly and involved. Every time I see him, he takes the time to say hello and make sure everyone is having a great experience, which really says a lot. My favorite order is the Bulk up Bison spinach wrap--it's absolutely incredible, and I highly recommend trying it. The staff is always kind, the restaurant is consistently clean, and the quality of the food has always been excellent. They also recently updated their outdoor patio, which is perfect during the cooler months in Las Vegas. Another big plus is the location--it's right next to LVAC in Summerlin, so it's super convenient to grab a healthy meal before or after the gym. If you're looking for fresh, high-quality food with great service, Protein Source is definitely worth checking out. It's been one of my go-to spots for years, and I always leave satisfied.

    The salmon was tasty. But I was just disappointed in the amount given for the price. It was a small portion in my opinion.

    Amazing food, very healthy finally a decent option because sometimes healthy isn't always the tastiest but THIS PLACE MAKES IT SO. The portions could be a little bigger for the price I think, but the quality is very worth it for the most part. I got the steak tenderloin with cauliflower and avocado as a build your own but they have really good bowls and burgers here - vegan and vegetarian options. Also got the Orange Dream Shake which was super yummy. I like it as a healthy alternative to fast food and the cashier was very friendly, even Came out to get our dishes when we opted to sit outside on their really nice patio with comfortable furniture to lounge in.

    We've stopped in here before. My friend is a regular here and always brings me when I'm in Vegas. The place always serves healthy and good food. The place itself has plenty of seating as well. I'll recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a good healthy meal.

    West Side Turkey Bowl tons of avocado
    Melissa D.

    Of all the Protein spots in town, this one is my FAV! I love everything about this place. The dining area is small but cozy and clean. Atmosphere is casual and versatile. You could have lunch on your work break or enjoy sitting outside on the beautiful covered patio with friends. The staff is really wonderful and polite. Our order was taken quickly and with no issues which is also how it was brought to our table about 15 min later. I had the West Side Turkey Bowl. There so many Bowls to chose from too! I ordered mine with no beans or rice and added more veggies as the base. It was delicious! Turkey was not dry and perfectly cooked as were the veggies. My friend had the scram eggs with turkey sausage patties and the protein waffles. I had some of the waffles and they were really good! I would come here more frequently if it were closer to home. It is one of my favorite spots to bring friends who want to eat out but still want to eat healthy and watch their calories/macros. If you you want quality, delicious, won't blow the calorie bank food ProteinSource is for you!

    The food and the service were excellent. They have outside seating. Vegan options. It is so nice to have a healthy restaurant to go to!

    BBQ Chicken Bowl and Mocha Madness Shake

    Absolutely love the BBQ Chicken bowl! Sad the one by EOS on Durango closed, but at least I have this location. The owner is amazing and so is everyone that works there!

    Bison #59 Big Kahuna - Burger

    Gross and disappointing! I found hair in the same burger twice. The caramelized onions weren't caramelized--they were just white onions--and the meat had no salt or seasoning. Definitely not worth the $20 price tag.

    I haven't been to The Protein Source in prob 12 years and I have been missing out !! Friendly and helpful team ready to make very tasty, healthy treats right when you walk in! Clean, quaint spot and I order the PB Lovers protein shake and got so lucky as a fresh batch of chocolate protein muffins just came out of the oven!! Smelled amazing so I had to have one! So dang good! Everything was super delicious and I'm so happy I popped in today ! Definitely a small local business we should be supporting through the fit community and beyond!

    Has The Protein Source removed the "Build Your Own Meal" option? I see it's still on the Yelp app, but not on DoorDash.

    Thanks for the feedback Mitchell. We had a few hiccups with DoorDash this week but should be all set now.… 

    Does anyone know the macros on the Skinny Salmon bowl? The website says "(270cal 27protein 13carb 13fat)" but there's no way that's accurate?

    TheProteinSource nutritional facts are very accurate.

I ordered the Smoked Salmon Benedict with arugula and roasted tomato salad, and I'd give it an 8/10. The Benedict was a little salty for my taste, but thankfully, it didn't overpower the other flavors. The seasoning and hollandaise sauce complemented the dish really well. My father ordered the exact same thing and absolutely loved it. My mother went with the Mexican Avocado Toast, which she rated a 7.8/10. She also found it slightly salty, and the dish was a little cheesier and oilier than she preferred. Since she isn't a big fan of cheese, that affected her overall rating. However, she still enjoyed it enough to finish her meal. My wife ordered the Chicken & Waffle Mac, which was definitely an interesting and creative take on the classic chicken and waffles. Having macaroni incorporated into the waffle made the dish unique. The chicken was crispy and flavorful, and she gave it an 8/10. Thinking there wasn't any macaroni with her entrée, my wife also ordered a side of Cheesy Macaroni. She was pleasantly surprised by it and gave it a 9/10. It ended up being one of her favorite parts of the meal. Overall, Parlour Brunch and Late Night Burger Bar was a solid family dining experience with a comfortable atmosphere, creative dishes, and plenty of flavor.

    A friend recommended we stop here for breakfast or lunch on our way to Zion, Utah. We always make a…read morestop in Vegas to stock up on groceries and grab brunch before heading to Zion for camping. The food here is incredibly fresh and absolutely delicious - but they really need to step up their dishwashing and make sure the food is served hot. There's nothing worse than ordering coffee and seeing purple lipstick on the rim of your cup. It makes you want to leave right away. Then comes the inner debate - do you say something and risk being that customer, or just wipe it off and move on? On top of that, getting food that's supposed to be hot but arrives cold is frustrating. You sit there wishing you were at home where you could just microwave it - because the food is that good and would taste even better at the right temperature. Our experience wasn't helped by our waiter, who seemed disinterested after the lipstick incident (same guy mentioned in previous reviews that comes off rude AF/ agreed!). We didn't feel like asking for much after that. On the bright side, one of the waitresses was amazing - she looked like she was carrying the whole place. The chef clearly knows what she's doing because the food coming out of the kitchen was fantastic. That said, attention needs to be paid to cleanliness and serving hot food. There's no excuse for that. Despite these issues, I gave it five stars because the problems are fixable and don't take away from how incredible the food is. For reference, we visited on Friday, January 3rd, in the morning. There was a nearby parking structure and no wait time. The decor is a mix of farm-to-table and modern bistro - nothing overly exciting or disappointing. We were just looking for a good brunch spot, and this place is truly a hidden gem. Hopefully, they address the concerns we mentioned because it's worth coming back for! __________ To the Chef, Your food is incredible - truly Michelin-worthy. However, the staff is serving it cold and sometimes on dirty dishes. This isn't the first review mentioning these issues. Also, the tall white guy with grey hair was incredibly condescending and rude. Hospitality doesn't seem to be the right fit for him. It's disappointing to see someone like that representing the amazing work and love you pour into your dishes. On the flip side, the waitress with long brown hair was picking up the slack and holding the place together. She deserves recognition - maybe even a promotion. I hope you see this because if the team can consistently serve food hot and on clean dishware, this place could easily become the top brunch spot around. We appreciate your talent and hope this feedback is helpful! - Vee & Mike

It has a rustic, darker ambiance and not your usual bright and sunny brunch spots. The menu not too big, but offered enough varieties that we decided to try the biscuit and gravy as well as the corned bee hash. We also got house coffee and they were from mother ship coffee. Food came out quickly, but they were lukewarm and felt like it was already made and just put under a food light to be kept warm. The biscuit was good and soft, but the gravy was a little too salty. The corned beef came in a smaller portion than I expected, and the beef was diced too thin that they didn't have great texture and flavor. Coffee was good, but overall food was not as good as we'd expect. Service was average, the waitress was nice but didn't offer much service besides bringing out initial water and coffee over. No one really checked in on us after the food was served. I'd most likely not be back as there are many other brunch places in the downtown area to explore.

We were enjoying the music and it was a vibe until it came to pay the bill. At 9:30 PM, a full 30 minutes before the posted closing time of 10:00 PM, the staff began rushing us out while my wife was still eating. When it came time to pay our bill, our bank cards were temporarily unavailable due to a system outage. We had the money. This was not a financial issue. It was a technical one we were actively working to resolve. Instead of being given a moment, security surrounded our table and treated us as though we were attempting to leave without paying. We were not. We never attempted to leave. I want to note that a couple of the security members were actually kind and professional throughout. A manager then approached with immediate hostility white male, tattoos, wearing a white crop shirt, and beige pants) no introduction, and no interest in hearing our explanation. I want to Emphasize That everyone working there refused to give me his name (white male) I even attempted to ask him and he walked away. He made demeaning remarks about our finances and specifically told us that if we didn't pay, he would call the police and trespass us, but if we paid, he would not. We paid. My brother sent $30 via Zelle directly to a security staff member to settle the bill. It was paid in full. He called the police anyway. And trespassed us anyway. I had offered to leave my ID as collateral, leave card information on file, or return the next morning. Every offer was refused before we even got to that point. The responding officers acknowledged his behavior was inappropriate. His own staff was visibly uncomfortable. Unless you are prepared to be treated as a suspect over something completely outside your control, I would think twice before dining here.

Be sure to get some thick bacon slices to go (mango habanero, maple glazed, honey-cured) - always nice to chew on during that nine hour Sunday evening drive back to SoCal.
