    Superfood Salad (vegan)
    Thea M.

    On my flight layover to Europe I thankfully found Protein Bar & Kitchen in the Chicago airport. Great portion for the price and very filling! I had the Superfood Salad (V) that had me filled for the next 10 hr flight. Highly recommend and want to try more

    I was actually pretty impressed by this place! This is more of a 4.5 star review, but I can bump it…read moreup because maybe it was just a "bad night". If you are looking for a good ol Mexican place, this is the place for you! They do take reservations and are pretty sizable. We went on Saturday night which was a bit crazy. It was very crowded and we were concerned about the service. While the service was a little bit on the slower side and we were there for almost 90 minutes, all the food came out hot and delicious. I got the Enchiladas in Mole Sauce which was excellent. It also came with a soup or salad which was a nice surprise. I went with the black bean soup which was great! If there was any downside, my House Margarita tasted a little weird. I probably could have complained, but I kept with it. Pretty good size, but I think there was a little too much tequila in it! Either way, this place isn't inexpensive, but you do get quite a bit of food and everybody at my table enjoyed their meal. Sometimes thats enough! This is a great icon in this part of Chicago/Rosemont.

    Disappointed. We are frequent customers. Hostess has NO people skills. March 1, 2026, 530pm…read more Asian or Philippines, and the other Hostess, Latino unfortunately. Waitress was also tense, rushed, (place was not full). What is going on?? Revenues & Profit will not prosper, with poor Leadership, poor people skills from Top to bottom, regardless of food experience. Not sure we will return. You can't charge Michelin wine price, if you don't deliver the full experience. Please go back to the basics.

They offer a wide selection of hummus and spreads -- my favorites are the Carrot & Short Rib (served with pita) and the Whipped Feta with sourdough. The calamari is a MUST try, and their sushi selection is just as impressive. There truly is something for everyone. The ambiance is beautiful and beachy -- it honestly feels like you're stepping into a vacation destination. The music ties everything together perfectly and adds to the overall vibe. The service is excellent, with a team that is attentive, knowledgeable, and great at making recommendations based on your preferences. The drink menu features picture-worthy cocktails that are just as delicious as they look -- thoughtfully crafted and perfect for a night out. Located in Rosemont, near O'hare Airport it's a perfect spot for a night out, whether you're heading to a show, visiting the area, or just looking for a fun, elevated dining experience. Highly recommend! They also offer catering and events, perfect for bridal & baby showers, corporate events, or family gatherings.

After giving it a few more chances, I realized I was wrong -- so I took it down and I fully retract those statements. Today, I can confidently say this is one of the better restaurants in the Rosemont entertainment area. It's a great spot for date night or a night out with friends. Last night, my wife and I stopped in after a movie and were pleasantly surprised. Even without a reservation, we were greeted quickly by the hostesses and seated without issue. Our waitress delivered amazing service from start to finish. The drinks were excellent -- I had a Dirty Martini with blue cheese olives and Grey Goose vodka. Knocked it out of the park. We ordered the Kiss on Fire Maki Roll with seared salmon, tuna, and yellowtail -- fresh and delicious. The Spanish Octopus with corn purée, cherry peppers, sausage, and chimichurri was a standout -- a pleasant surprise and perfectly prepared. On a whim, I asked our waitress what appetizer she would recommend for us to share. She confidently suggested the Salmon Tartare. I was feeling adventurous and trusted her instinct -- and I'm glad I did. It ended up being my favorite dish of the night. The funny part? Afterward, she admitted she had never actually tried it herself -- she had just heard great feedback from other guests. After seeing how much I enjoyed it, she said she might finally give it a shot. I liked that. Overall, it was a very good experience, and I left happy -- and that's what I'm looking for when I go out. Good service. Good food. Served with a smile. Highly recommend.

You start at one end of the line and move down the checklist-style menu, choosing your base, protein, toppings, and sauces. I went with the Korean BBQ, which was flavorful and well-seasoned. I also highly recommend their yum yum sauce for a creamy texture that mixes well with the bowl. If you really like it, they also sell bottled versions. They also offer a few lemonade options; I tried the passion fruit lemonade and it was refreshing without being overly sweet. Price-wise, it's slightly higher than I expected: about $17 for a bowl with no premium add-ons and a small drink. But the upside is you're getting a relatively healthy, customizable meal that doesn't leave you feeling weighed down. Overall, a solid choice near the airport if you want something quick, fresh, and moderately healthy. Especially if you're not starving but want better-than-fast-food quality.

    (2/5) | How Did We Get Here?... to not-so-fresh fast food (Rosemont, IL - 15 mins from ORD)…read more I pulled up to BIBIBOP Asian Grill looking for something quick, clean, and energizing--especially this close to the airport where a solid, reliable meal matters. And visually? They deliver. The space is bright, modern, and gives fresh lifestyle energy. You walk in thinking you're about to make a smart, feel-good food choice. But here's where things shifted... I arrived about 40 minutes before closing, and unfortunately, the food reflected that timing. My bowl--while generously portioned--lacked that just-made freshness you expect from a concept like this. The steak tasted like it had been sitting for a while, the vegetables were more soft than crisp, and the overall bowl didn't have that hot, vibrant, made-to-order feel. It felt more like end-of-day service than a fresh build experience. The energy at the counter also felt a bit checked out--like the night was already winding down. To be fair: * The concept is strong * The customization is appealing * The branding is on point But when your entire identity is built around "eat well, be well," freshness isn't optional--it's the standard. Would I return? Probably not. Not when the core promise didn't deliver. Final Take: If you're curious, go earlier in the day. This feels like a place where timing could completely change the experience. How did we get here? To a wellness-driven brand... that missed the mark on freshness when it mattered most.

The staff and ambiance were lovely; for my main course I tried the steak sandwich which was really good. It came with fries, and instead of ordering an appetizer I ate the house chips (which are brought to the table for free.) My daughter went with the burger, and that was excellent. Huge portion and cooked to perfection. No one else at the table good anything special, which meant the bill was reasonable (about $40 a person.) If you're in the Rosemont area and looking for steak, I'd recommend Gibson's.

For a good 40 minutes in the bar, it was an absolute sausage fest. The only other females were those working, so it was a little uncomfortable. This is a manly place in general. A loud obnoxious table of meatheads was behind us at dinner but the steak was truly the best I've ever had so one must endure. I had the filet with peppercorn and our shared sides and apps sampled were crab cakes, mashed potatoes, double baked potatoes, and brussel sprouts. All stellar. We all split the famous macadamia nut turtle pie which easily served 8 people. Amazing meal but would be nice to throw a little estrogen in with the testosterone overload. Service was unparalleled as well. Thank you for a memorable evening.

I ordered off a kiosk and had to wait in a short line (probably like 2-3 minutes) for the kiosk. You can also order online from the ORD website. Because of the kiosk ordering, I had very little interaction with the staff besides my quick pickup, but the person that I picked up from was pleasant and it seemed like they were hustling in the kitchen. There's some seating directly outside the kitchen and the main food court is across the main hallway. I grabbed one of their seats and was glad I ate there because I got to listen to their Latin music. There is a bar too (with a bartender) if you want alcoholic mixed drinks. You can also get cans and bottles on the quick service side but understandably can't order them online or from the kiosk; you have to go through a cashier. I got an avocado, eggs, & rajas torta, added pickled jalapeños ($.40 - worth it) and chose the verde side salsa. Delicious! The rajas seemed to have been cooked in salsa which made them very flavorful, and the avocado was very fresh and green. The salsa verde was also delicious, although I almost felt like I didn't need it because the sandwich was great on its own. Any sandwich with eggs and cheese I expect to be kind of greasy but this was not greasy at all. I also got a mango lime fresca. It was pretty sweet but also tart from the lime so it balanced out. It was a nice accompaniment to the sandwich. Highly recommend trying them for some legit food in ORD!
