I love the Guac & Roll Bar-rito and the Pancake In a Bowl for breakfast. The staff is extremely friendly and inviting. Sparkle explained to the guest in front of me the most protein packed items for his diet and when I was picking up my food I had a minute to chat with Everson about recommendations for my next visit. I can't wait to try them. Overall a great location with great vibes! One of the thoughtful things to this place is the purse hooks under the tables.

I love - love -love the Buffalo Bar-Ito. As a vegetarian it's always nice to find a way to enjoy old favorites with a more conscience spin. Chris at the register was super helpful in helping me navigate the menu. Fast , healthy , fun. Definitely recommend,

Although I love the food and menu at Protein Bar, the customer service at this location leaves a lot to be desired. The lines can get long, so I usually place an online order for pickup. The problem is that there is no efficient way to get your pickup order. They come from the same window as the regular orders, and there's not really anyone standing there unless it's during the rush, and during the rush, they are too busy calling out in store orders to get to yours or even to speak to you so that you can ask for your order. You literally have to flag someone down to get your order, I have found. Recently I stood there during a non-peak time. Three or four employees walked past the window without making eye contact or asking if I needed help. It is really annoying. No one is eager to help you. You see your salad sitting right there, and no one can take two seconds to grab it for you. I have also been unhappy with more than a couple of orders lately. Unfortunately, I notice the problem once I'm already back in my office so I eat and don't complain. On two occasions the buffalo chicken salad has had so little sauce on it that it was laughable. I mean, that's why we order the buffalo salad, for the sauce, right? The next time I ordered extra dressing and there was still hardly anything on there. Most recently, I had a taste for avocado and so I ordered a salad that was supposed to have avocado on it. Guess what? Got back to the office and no avocado. So unfortunately, although I do love the concept and the food when it's prepared correctly, I think I am done with this location. Too much money to experience aggravation this often.

I've had too many great experiences at this Protein Bar. It is by far the best and friendliest service. Special thanks to Emerson, Aisha, Jimmie, Diamond and Chris, who have at various points given me a free lunch (when my lunch was too late or prepared incorrectly or just because!) or allowed me to use an expired coupon!

I really like protein bar. It's fast food that skews healthier than most other fast food places, while still being more filling than most fast food salad joints. I usually go for a buffalo chicken bar-rito. It's got a bit of a buffalo sauce flavor, but it's not covered in sauce. The particular location is kind of small, getting a table might be tough. The line was long when I went, but they got us through the line very quickly. There isn't much room to wait for your food once you're through the line, but the seem to manage the chaos well.

I loved Protein Bar...until I just got an over-priced burrito from here with MAGGOTS!!! MAGGOTS!!! Disgusting. How can a place that charges this much for a burrito and has a crazy amount of turnover let something like this happen? BARF!!!

For some reason, when I used to hear people talking about Protein Bar, I thought it was just a quick place to go for smoothies. While they do sell smoothies, I had no idea that they had food - breakfast AND lunch options! FYI - I'm not from Chicago, so I had never been to a Protein Bar until about a month ago. I also wouldn't consider myself a huge healthy-eater either (GUILTY!), but I kept hearing such great things about this place from numerous coworkers, so I decided to give it a try. The first time I visited, I didn't even get a smoothie! Go figure. I got the Original Protein Bar-Rito and the Vegetarian Chili (at the recommendation of my friend). I was very surprised that the chili was so good! I guess I didn't expect that to be a specialty item of theirs. The next time I went in, I finally tried one of their drinks: The Green Tea Matcha Smoothie with almond milk and whey protein. I highly recommend this drink! It is so delicious, it's been calling me back to this place again and again. Not to mention there is a cute blue-eyed guy that works there in the mornings who always makes my drink with a smile - come on, don't think that you wouldn't keep coming back if someone attractive took care of you every morning and knew your favorite drink. ;) The facility itself is minimalist and clean, with orange and white being the main colors. The staff is all very friendly, I've never had a bad experience there. They are quick and efficient. I definitely recommend going early if getting lunch there. Between 12:00-1:00 the line WILL go out the door. Also, the prices are pretty reasonable for being a healthy option in the West Loop. I will definitely be frequenting this place for breakfast and lunch, since it's so close to my job. I've found my spot!

Perfect. Loved it. Stopped in for lunch, while in a rush the other day. WOW. outstanding. a meal in a cup. All of us loved the food. Could not have been better. This is now in my must stops for lunch while in Chicago places. Service was also very good.

Just got a seriously good shake here. I made a few additions to their 'Wrigley Peeled' smoothie, and while waiting for the shake, the guy making it (shout out to my man with the long dreads) suggested I try a little strawberry puree in there on the house! It worked out big time.

This is one of my favorite Protein Bars. The customer service is top notch!!! Everyone that works there is super nice, knowledgeable and always offering great suggestions. I am not usually an upsell person but the staff here has not once steered me wrong with one of their upsells. The store is super clean and of course they are super quick. My food or shakes are always made awesome. This is definitely my go to place for lunch.

Standard protein bar menu. Service is good; try ordering online ahead of time--it will save you the headache of waiting in the lunch line.

This is a great place for lunch. This location tends to be somewhat smaller than some of Protein Bar's other location; however, I haven't seen it get too crowded yet. This is a great place for anyone who is gluten free! The bowls are my favorite. The Buffalo Bowl is healthy and very filling. All of the nutritional information is online which I really like.

I've recently discovered Protein Bar's new Pump-quinoa smoothie. The first time I ordered it, the employee suggested substituting the milk of my choice for the agave "sugar water" that it's normally made with. I took the suggestion and it was much better - more creamy and smoothie like, and less like pumpkin-paste. Today I ordered the Pump-quinoa for the second time. The employee was abrupt, punched my punch card in the wrong place (1-6 are punched, the logical next punch is 7), and when she said "What kind of milk...oh, we don't make that one with milk, nevemind", I said "Actually, you can - could you substitute almond milk for the agave water?" She seemed to not hear or understand and asked what boost I wanted, so I ordered the energy boost, then repeated "And I'll have it with almond milk." Whatever the problem was, I'm not sure, but my smoothie was not made with almond milk as I asked, and had that less-than-appealing pumpkin-paste texture again. Normally the morning staff is friendly, patient and accomodating at this location. Not sure what happened this morning?

Great food, service and concept overall! I am a big fan and go about once a week for lunch of just a smoothie.

Have yet to meet a raw juice I didn't enjoy. The Greenberry raw juice: kale, lime, apple, strawberry, cilantro. I'm totally digging the fact that I'm pumping the kale but I would hardly know it because the apple and strawberry overrides the greenie flavor. I can definitely taste the refreshing lime and cilantro in the aftertaste. It's a very good juice but my favorite is still the HI-5...another raw juice with kale.

First of all, my food was delicous, but that was no surprise. The menu offers a variety of delicous and healthy options, so I presumed it would be as good as it looked and in fact, it was! The most pleasant part of my experience at Protein Bar was the superb customer service. While all of the employees were cheerful and nice, Trey went above and beyond to ensure that my first experience here was a good one. I'm extremely grateful for the extra effort he took and I will absolutely be coming back to Protein Bar and particularly this location.

Who knew organic/healthy would taste this good? A favorite spot for breakfast or lunch. Staff are friendly and very efficient, even at lunch hour. Disappointed that they (and Starbucks BTW) add sugar to their matcha tea. Combined with raw honey, the very tasty Avo-Matcha drink comes in at 37g of sugar. Not very healthy.
