Buffalo Bowl

Eh it's alright. The smoothies & shakes aren't that good, especially with the whey but I think maybe I just don't like it. The buffalo protein bowl was good but this place is VERY PRICEY for what you get

The definition of "meh"
Joanna T.

Meh. I stopped in here for breakfast as my hotels offering was dismal. I truly appreciate the Protein Bar is completely transparent about calories, carbs etc - it's super helpful if you need to watch what you're eating. That said, my food wasn't very good. I ordered a egg, cheese and bacon bowl which promised me eggs, cheddar and crispy turkey bacon. I received a bowl of flabby ham, unmelted cheese and barely warm eggs. It was absolutely as crappy as my dismal hotel breakfast but in this case I paid for it. No thanks, Protein Bar.

Carnitas Bowl with Quinoa
Jessica B.

I have been to the Oak Brook Protein Bar many times - years ago and felt they had better options at that point. I was kind of disappointed in the options this go-around. However, it's near my office in the city and needed something quick with lots of protein hence stopping in at the Protein Bar! ;) Ultimately I asked the gentleman behind me what he would suggest I order as nothing was looking appetizing to me. He suggested the Carnitas Bowl with Quinoa. Wasn't bad. Appreciated the amount of protein and actually was surprised was under $13 in the city for that much protein. Solid lunch option. Eager to see their next season's menu.

Steak bowl
Michelle F.

Good place for a healthy choice meal. Everything tasted fresh. I had the steak bowl and it had cauliflower rice vs the regular rice. Steak portion was good however it was a little dry and chewy. Too much radish made the other flavors a little bitter. Clean place and pretty quick service.

Summer Bowl30 - not sure this is Whole 30 compliant, but it was pretty clean

Delicious. I had a breakfast bowl and it was great. No complaints. Can't wait to try their avo-matcha next.

You've been warned. The soup of the day was potato leek and I enjoyed my cup. I loved my Brussels and Kale salad!! Best salad I've had in a long time. Every bite was bursting with flavor. It was well balanced and perfect. My boyfriend really liked his salmon entree and my friend enjoyed his Cobb Salad. Fantastic cocktails too. Very smooth espresso martini and the Lavender Rita had a nice kick to it. Excellent and attentive service. Beautiful restaurant. Lovely and romantic with the dim lighting. Nice place to go for a date or special occasion. There is an upstairs too. Very spacious venue. I'm so happy my friend suggested this place. It was a very memorable meal and I highly recommend coming here.

The restaurant itself is cute, not super big but there's a lot of seating. The servers are always friendly and there's always a ton of people working LOL. It was pretty busy for a Friday evening, and I only had to wait for 10 minutes or so for my order to be ready. I got the pork souvlaki skewers as a bowl. I really liked it, I thought the pork was perfectly charred and the toppings were all fresh and went really well with it. The rice was also fluffy and seasoned well, which is usually my biggest critique of bowl meals. Overall, solid option if you want something fast to go or to enjoy in the store.

I'll definitely be back!!

The cauliflower steak was delicious (though it was a thick slice of cauliflower so it wasn't so tender) and served with cheesy faro. The fried chicken was bone in chicken and had the perfect crunch and flavor. It's served with tasty mashed potatoes. Lastly we ordered a side of their Mac n cheese to split between the table which I would recommend. If you're celebrating a birthday they offer a complimentary slice of their hummingbird cake which was honestly the best cake I've had in a while. Our server was so sweet and helpful when ordering! The space is also very romantic with low lighting, a smaller intimate dining room, and stunning art.
