Protein Bar & Kitchen in Chicago - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Great little spot for anyone looking for some healthier options.

I came here twice while I was in town for a few days. I love that there was a healthy alternative to the normal morning grind. Staff were nice both times, I had a burrito one day and the power bowl another day and both were great. The second day I tried to work from here it was excited to find there were two tables which had an outlet but the Wi-Fi was horrendously slow and unusable. Had to move on to Starbucks.

I appreciated that they offer healthy options at affordable prices, but the food lacked flavor.

Pretty good food and prices. I think I paid like $12 for a bowl, so definitely comparable to chipotle/etc. Quality was better. I ordered the Chicago Med. It was good, but my brown rice was sopping wet and I had a bunch of water at the bottom of my bowl as a result. Other than that the flavor was great, but that set it back a bit. Service was nice and for only having 1-2 employees staffed at lunch they were fairly quick.

Salads were not tasty and smoothy was watery.

Always a consistent and delicious lunch option when I'm working in the city!

I was very pleased with my most recent visit to the River North location. I got the Saigon Bar-rito, and it was so tasty and made with quality ingredients. The current general manager was very friendly and her employees served my food with great energy. It is so nice to have healthy options in the area for lunch.

Service is fast and the staff is friendly!

I got the lean green and a byo salad. It was so good. The associates were very helpful and gave good tips on what to put on my salad. The lean green contained fresh ingredients and I felt refreshed to continue the work day. 10/10 recommend

As a business owner I can appreciate how well I was treated and taken care of especially having my order made quickly as time is money, and I definitely received high quality food from there I would recommend this location for lunch or quick snack !

Staff was great, helpful and friendly.

It's great you can substitute the meat in dishes for beans or avocado.

The smoothies here are great! As are the wraps. Place stays pretty clean!

The food is super fresh and portions are good. Very delicious and healthy option especially if you’re on the go… will definitely make this a go to when in town.

One of the worst experiences I’ve had getting a smoothie. First, absolutely 0 urgency behind the counter. While being the only one in the establishment, it still took 15 minutes to make a smoothie. You read that right, a smoothie. Should take 2 minutes especially with me being the only person there. Next, the smoothie quality was that of water. 0 texture, flavor, consistency. Nothing. Truly a disgrace to smoothies that we all know a love. I can confidently say that I will never be back. Never, ever, ever. It is truly a disgrace these establishments are located all around our great city. We deserve better.

Just had an online order through Uber eats and they won't let me leave a review. Only reason why it receives only 3 stars is because between the service charge and delivery fee I am paying an extra $10 for a meal that only cost $14-15

Amazing Avo Matcha and amazing service. I keep coming back over and over and over again.

Great options for quick food with a focus on whole food and protein. Good variety of options. Lots of flavor in the food!

Really delicious food, fresh and healthy! Absolutely recommend it for lunch and/or dinner😄

Great food, a little pricey but to be honest it’s worth it

Staff was nice and food was prepared quickly and it was delicious

Very good clean food. Would recommend

Quick Easy and better value than nearby alternatives

Food is consistently delicious, service is always prompt and fast, and staff are professional and wonderful and are empowered to make decisions when there are issues which is very rare. I highly recommend this store. You won't be disappointed.

always accurate, on time and the team is super friendly!

The Japanese Salmon bowl was disgusting. The salmon was either terribly sourced or spoiled. Never a good sign when it tastes fishy. I gave it two stars because I should have known better and skipped the fish. Smoothie tasted good but was all liquid. Overall this place is mediocre. But so are most of the fast casual restaurants in the area.

Fast and friendly food, only the highest quality of food!

It’s always a great time visiting and the food is always fresh and filling

I love the new Fall Bowl! Just the right amount of chicken, squash, spinach, almonds, and riced cauliflower 😋

The staff recognizes me and creates a friendly atmosphere which is a great way to start the day.

Love this spot! Lots of healthy, whole food choices. Food was delicious and staff is friendly / helpful.

This is a great place to find good, healthy and enough food, so glad to eat here because I am a diabetic and here I find no problem finding good food

I got the açaí berry bowl and added peanut butter. It was so refreshing and incredibly filling.

Ordered pick up online - it was ready when I arrived, my order modifications were correct and the bowl was warm while my smoothie was ice cold. Portion of the “biggie” bowl was generous and super filling. Their guac and salsa are legitimately good and flavorful. Protein smoothies are good, not too sweet which I like. I’ll be back!

Went above and beyond when grubhub forgot all of our drinks they ran them over 💯

Should be one on every corner. #zerobadchoices

Great service and delicious smoothies!

Staff is extremely friendly! Nice to see that!

Love how I can customize my bowl, food is always hot, delicious and ready to go by the time I go to pick it up!

Protein bar at this location is always fast, friendly, and they really pride themselves in knowing their regulars! I highly recommend you to stop by.

These folks always make me feel special as a loyal, repeat customer and the food is always fresh and delicious, and made quickly. I highly recommend using the app and ordering through it. I truly appreciate this location — always a great experience from beginning to end.

The Detox Shake was just what I needed after 3 days at a trade show. The online ordering was super easy, staff was friendly, and the shake is delicious. Love all of the customization options too! Great healthy breakfast option if you’re in Chicago.

Got a keto coffee this morning… the lid was broken.. imagine smelling like ghee the whole day @ work. Next time I need y’all to be careful with how you pack things..

Always great flavors paired with great service!

Never a bad experience here. Staff is friendly, funny, and they all work hard. My food is always made very promptly. I do wish portions were a little better for some of the bowls tho.!

Worst bowl ever ( Spring Pro vegan) Safe your money

Always very clean, fast and accurate!

Used to love the shakes here so much, but every time I come here now, everything tastes so watered down. Disappointing!!! The bowls are still pretty solid, though.

Haven’t had it in a long time I wanted to try honestly I’m upset the PB and J was watered down no taste and the buffalo bowl only had 5 pieces of chicken I wish it was good as it was when they first open .

This place is super clean and has really delicious salads. I had the green goddess and it was fantastic. They make everything very quick.

OK, not sure I'll be back because I wasn't sure what I was eating. Seemed like lots of carbohydrates in my food, not just protein.

Had the Harvest salad with roasted butternut squash - delicious. Clean, friendly location!

Excellent, friendly and efficient staff. Acala bowl was delish! Will def return.

The freshest and best protein outlet in downtown Chicago. Each yoghurt creation is freshly prepared and is simply packed with goodness and fresh flavours. The Island Sunrise Parfait and the Immunity smoothy are especially delicious . Say goodbye to calorie laden Swiss and ham croissants and go get some healthy goodness at the Protein Bar - my Chicago breakfast bar of choice.

I had the southwest salad and I was thoroughly impressed :) the cilantro lime dressing adds a but of refreshing sourness to the combination and it such a good combination of ingredient!

I am pleasantly surprised by this place. As a vegan, I usually can only find one or two (mediocre) things on most restaurants' menus. I am so happy that Protein Bar offers many vegan options. The "Egg Roll" and spicy korean bowls were very tasty. If you like spicy or Asian food, go for the spicy Korean option. The PB&J smoothie is also very tasty! The vegan smoothies include plant-based protein powder. I also have been happy with the staff. They always seem very friendly!

This is a must go for health gurus like me, that needs a lot of healthy nutrients for my day and future. Sublime salad bowls with quinoa, guacamole and with many other vegetables and protein. They have vegan options too.

It’s seemingly only a local (to Chicago) chain, but the brand obviously aspires to scale; but, before they do so, they might want to iron out the menu. Most of what they serve is tasty and somewhat healthy, but I’ve occasionally had a dry wrap / item. Overall, a decent healthy bite to eat on the go

A healthy option at a reasonable price.

As a vegan I can say I am happy that I found this place. Nice selection of healthy options. I love it and even the design of the interior. Great location in downtown but note: no parking.

Food was fresh and tasty. Jade and Destiny went above and beyond and the staff in general are really friendly. One of my fave Protein Bar locations to visit.

Your staff is awesome. They are so friendly and nice. The cashier actually thanked me for coming. :) I was coming there for my boss and the drink that he loved was seasonal and he is picky so i wasn't sure. The young barista recommended another drink on the menu and added pineapple. She told me to let her know and i have to say that he absolutely loved it. Thank you soooo much for your amazing staff. :)

Best overnight oats I have ever had!

Nice protein smoothie options as well has burritos. We got double meat and it was amazing. Clean and fast.

Perfect spot if you are on a low carb or keto diet. Egg and turkey bacon bowl was delicious. Dining room tables are funky and comfortable. Friendly, fast service with reasonable pricing. Highly recommended!

A healthy pick me up! Love the avocado smoothie. Haven't tried the food yet. I could do without hearing the staff argue with each other n cursing...almost ruined my pick me up

Great smoothies and solid atmosphere.

First timer and am impressed. Food is delicious, staff were friendly and welcoming. The food came out quick and hot. Clean inside and reasonably priced. I got the Steak and Eggs breakfast bowl. Definitely recommend the food I ordered and this place overall.

Friendly staff, clean environment and good soup... The spicy soup is not extremely hot, which was perfect.

I almost passed this place because the name sounded like it would be a protein shake and protein bar place but I went inside anyway. They have great menu items for omnivores to vegans. They even have cauliflower rice as a substitute for regular rice, and that's what hooked me. They make burritos, bowls and wraps and salads and of course some delicious protein shakes (try the PB&J, there's no jelly in it). They have homemade drinks that are good to for just $1. It's an easy place to eat healthy, there's no bad food choices

I work in the building this is a great spot for a healthy snack, or lunch. The line is quick at lunch even when the line is long. The wraps are tasty and made from healthy choices.

Great health food, energizes you for the brisk downtown walking

The shake was quite lumpy... I didn't like that but otherwise it was light and healthy.

Muy rico tienen opciones veganas

We had breakfast here and the two custom scrambles we had were fantastic. The nutless pesto is delicious and the mixes of each creative and tasty. Service was quick and the place was very clean.

Was staying at The Langham and needed a post workout drink. Had the berry smoothie with extra protein and was throughly impressed! Location was convenient, service was quick and courteous. I will definitely be going back!

Brittana was super helpful and kind! Wonderful service and great tasting food!!

Great for lunch but it can be pricey.

Very good and healthy place to eat downtown. It is comfortable and able to accommodate several food requirements with a good tasting selection.

Was excited to.try but food quality poor

The coffee is even good and that is rare in healthy food establishments. The wrap was both tasty and made from good ingredients. Down town is an expensive place to eat. This place is not as expensive as some of the other places around. It is vlean, comfortable and even is set up to help vegans. Their delivery charges are much better than some of the other places. The folks there are good folks. Next time I am even going to be brave enough for the split pea and kale soup.

Staying nearby needed a quick and healthy lunch so tried this place out. Great choice! Got the Mexicali bowl which was so good! Highly recommend if looking for a tasty, healthy meal!

Great healthy food and smoothies

I got the Mexicali bowl -- tasted pretty good, especially with Cholula hot sauce!

I thought this was a place with just protein shakes but found much more. The Mexicali bowl is perfect. I’m in love with it and will have a difficult time trying to order something different. The flavors are so well balanced and it’s a delectable lunchtime treat.

Love how their food is inexpensive but satisfying and good! Some days I just want to opt for $5 oatmeal and smoothies instead of paying double at fancier places. Protein Bar is a staple for my week.

Don't like their food selection

It's kind of a joke this breakfast bowls nothing like the photo and small portion. I saw a lot of people ordering smoothies I understood after trying the breakfast chilaquile bowl not enough tortilla which is just tortilla chips smashed, beacon so so, and just a few beans. The place is nice the workers are kind and helpful.

Quick, good prices, and tasty healthy food.

Fresh salads! Very tasty food and quick friendly service

I enjoyed my protein smoothie with coconut milk option after a long day of travel and appreciate the healthy "fast food" options!

Stumbled upon this place after flying into the city. The protein packed Mexicali bowl was exactly what I needed after a morning of travel. The whole menu looks delicious. Try it out!

This isn't the place if you want a lot of personal interaction during your ordering process, but I thought it was well set-up to order via kiosk, then pick up your food at the counter when it's ready. They even had stools for waiting for your order. I ordered the Denver scramble with some customization (minus one thing, plus another) and they were accurate in the order. The food was tasty and filling. I also got a pour-over coffee with almond milk and it was nice and strong even with the milk.

I LOVE PROTEIN BAR!!!! It's my favorite place to eat chicken pesto bowl or wrap and drink acaí berry smoothie!!!! You guys create a cool and very healthy place to eat!!!! Thank u very much!!!!! Love it, love it, love it!!!!

I wish we had this in NC. Great breakfast stop on the go! I ordered the peanut butter oatmeal and it was delicious!

Great customer service but food is tasteless. I thought it was a healthier option than most, but no seasonings and portions don't match prices.

Healty breakfast. You're sure to find something you like. You can add or remove items as you like. Remember to try the shake/smoothies. The Millenium Perk is excellent

I'm so glad The Protein Bar has expanded to so many locations. The food is delicious and healthy, a fast grab to eat at the restaurant or take back to the office or home for breakfast, lunch or dinner. And they keep expanding their selections....
