I barely made it for my Mexicali breakfast meal, and it was excellent. Every time I grab something to eat, I'm provided with outstanding customer service with a smile, a warm greeting, and incredible offers. It was honestly hard for me to not get any more than I purchased because the service was great. The place is spotless, and I have never experienced anything negative about this place, which is perfect for me. The food is also excellent, and healthy. It's well worth what you are paying for, so if you're going to go get breakfast or lunch on your break, stop here because you're getting a healthy meal (or snack) every time.
I absolutely loved my lunch!!! It was just a tiny bit pricey but good food always is!!! I would definitely go again!!

Two things, vote bernie sanders and Pay James all the money.
First time walking up to protein bar I was saying to myself I don't know maybe you should go somewhere else. Looking threw the window and I said to self give it a try. Didn't expect when I walked in that I would be greeted the way I was. With full of excitement Hi Welcome to protein bar and before I knew it I begin to talk to him.James is his name. Didn't think from looking at the meun that I wanted to buy anything or just walk away and change my mind , but with spending time with the great conversation full of life James gave I would send everybody I know to that location can you say JAMES YOU ROCK.Thanks James made my day
I love this place, very healthy and delicious meals, prepared in a very short amount of time. Every time I eat here or get food to go, I feel good about my meal. Their app is also very useful to order ahead and have my meal ready when I arrive. Sometimes they have online specials and every Thursday there is a special on Shakes and Smoothies.
I know what you are thinking - this sounds like a healthy restaurant and why get this when I can get Italian beef sandwiches or deep dish pizza? I’ll tell you why you get this. Because it is delicious. Absolutely delicious. I grabbed their sweet potato falafel bowl. This amazing bowl was on a bed of quinoa, topped with everything: hummus, feta, tomatoes, cucumbers, pickled onions, sweet potato falafel balls, mixed greens, spicy tahini vinaigrette, red cabbage slaw, and cilantro. I customized it to have riced cauliflower and turkey bacon as well. I then added a healthy dose of sriracha. My goodness when I bit into that, I was absolutely blown away by the flavor bomb I was hit with. Everything went together perfectly. I had the sweet, crispy balls of sweet potato paired with the acidic tomatoes and vinaigrette, the crunchy bacon, the thick and creamy hummus, the tangy feta, and the crunchy greens, slaw, onions, cucumbers, and cauliflower. Not to mention that I also had a nice spicy sriracha on top. This meal was amazing, but I can’t deny that it was not expensive. It was ~$15 for my meal, but boy was it filling. Highly recommend this place, especially for a lunch option so that you don’t feel sluggish afterwards and that way you can “splurge” on some calories at night in the form of pizza!
Heathy food options. The location is always clean and orderly. Street parking is available though difficult to give an open spot, garages are plenty nearby. Worth a shot if you've never had protein bar as the food is very healthy. Weekend staff seemed not to be their A group
The PB&J shake at Protein Bar is such a great option for those of us who are allergic to tree nuts.
Great staff and management. I’ve been coming here for years and rarely (read: never) have an issue, even during peak hours.Carlos and team are amazing!
Delicious! We got delivery to our hotel. Great first experience! We got two smoothies, kale caesar wrap, and a fall 30 bowl. A healthy, protein packed dinner after lots of travel! Highly suggest!
It's a convenient place to stop if you need a quick bite and like healthy food. Downside is the food isn't super tasty and the prices are a bit high for what you get. However, it can be a place to study in a pinch, with WiFi but not much in the way of outlets.
Protein Bar is always good. A bit pricey but eating healthy isn't cheap!
Had the spinach & pesto bowl for the first time and it’s my absolute favorite!
Great place with vegan options. Ordered Super food vegan. loved the Organic roasted tofu, and all the vegetables on my salad bowl. It was a dream, excellent combination of flavors. Phenomenal food. Fabulous options. High quality and high vibe. Service was excellent. A place to grab food to go or eat quick. Great restaurant for a healthy food.
Delicious shakes and entrées high in protein!
This place is nice inside. People seem friendly. Other guest also on phones. I like it.;) Haven't eaten yet but probably good. Just got my food looks delicious. First bite was hot but taste awesome! I put sugar in it! Oh that's good. The spoons here are quite dapper as well, the oats are perfect with a slight softness to them. If you like sad indie music and a nice modern architectural atmosphere and cold oatmeal, you will love this place. The protein shake is like a summer I spent working real hard saving money to buy my first car that was good times.
Overview: A hit-or-miss location for one of my lunch/quick dinner staples.
The good: I love protein bar's menu, so usually I leave a satisfied customer. The prices aren't the best, but that's the loop for you. Always filling and every option I've ever had is tasty. And, of course, it's on the healthier side which is nice.
The not-so-good: It's either hit or miss with this location. Sometimes I've been and they are friendly, the food is hot, and the wait is short. Other times, it's the exact opposite. Otherwise, it's your typical protein bar, so overall it's good stuff.

Great quality fast health food. Fresh super ingredients in wraps and smoothies. Quick friendly service
One of my favorite places to eat lunch in the Loop. Usually I order ahead, but even if I walk in and order it’s fast and tasty.
My first time visiting Protein Bar, the staff was very friendly and polite. I loved the menu and my Mexicali breakfast. The size was just right for a quick bite on the go. Also, there is a schedule for some things in the menu, I couldn't get a bowl I was interested in.
Good menu with healthy options all across the board. The location is convenient and the prices aren't too bad for downtown. The salads and bowls are delicious. Sometimes it's slow and relaxed here, but sometimes it gets really busy. Stop by when it's slow.
Ordered a "pb&j" smoothie and a turkey and egg burrito the one time I visited and it was worth the walk in. A bit costly but it was definitely worth it. Plenty of protein with a tasty flavor combination of peanut butter and jelly. I never thought I'd try that combo in a smoothie but it works really well. The burrito was absolutely delicious and larger than I expected, which was a good thing!
