    This place affordable & what I really like is that you get your moneys worth with the amount of food they serve you. I paid $13 for the southwest bowl & I honestly enjoyed having a variety of mixed veggies. Very filling, the service was fast and easy, came here around 12:10. Place is clean as well.

    Order

    Absolutely terrible. I almost doubled the price of my bowl with add ons, yet received the same amount of food as my friend's ordinary order. Salmon and steak was unbearably dry-- I don't think I could have swallowed without water. Half the portion of my steak was straight fat. Place was so bad it actually made me mad. Definitely choose Sweetgreen, Chipotle, or Cava rather than this place.

    Honey Granola Parfait
    Will P.

    Stopped by Protein Bar and Kitchen and ordered the Honey Granola Parfait. The Honey Granola parfait came with Greek Yogurt, strawberries, blueberries, chia seed, granola, and raw organic honey. It was super good and had 17 grams of protein. Also ordered a black iced coffee which was very refreshing and light. Seating is spacious inside and they also have outdoor seating as well. Service is very quick and the workers are very friendly. This location is right next to a LA Fitness Gym which is super convenient for a post work out snack!

    Gross. Never order the power plant bowl. It was more liquids than a smoothie! It was a bowl of green ice and watery almond milk. I ordered the power plant bowl with strawberries and granola, and paid for extra blueberries. NO JOKE: there was one strawberry, 7 blueberries, less than one 1 tablespoon of granola. What a waste of money Note: My food was through uber eats.

    Whether you're in need of a lil pick me up or an after workout snack, I highly recommend Protein Bar! I eyed Protein Bar next to the LA fitness I workout at for awhile before finally trying it, and I'm so glad I did. The first time in, I wasn't familiar with their menu/modifications, so I accidentally ordered a shake that had whey protein in it (make sure you look at all the ingredients, unlike me!). The staff was so understanding and when I went in to reorder a new one, they so kindly made me a new one without charging the price of a new smoothie I love the various modifications you can make to any item on their menu, and the fact that they highlight what items can be made gluten free and/or vegan The man working when I went in was able to modify my many substitutions without complaint and even offered me an added energy boost, which came free of charge My warning to you, if you're like me, it'll easily become your workout "reward" (becoming an everyday treat)

    Mexicali Bowl with turkey bacon
    Samuel A.

    Protein Bar lives up to its name. Very solid, healthy food packed with clean carbohydrates and protein. Opted for the mexicali bowl with added turkey bacon. It was tasty and fresh. I wish the portion was a smidge bigger, especially for the price of the meal, but understand that fresh ingredients have some inflated prices at this time. Another solid lunch through Fooda delivery service. Thanks PBK!

    Just wanted to grab something real quick. I love their avo matcha drink. Service is good and place is clean.

    Vegan salad
    Kathy M.

    I have heard of Protein bar plenty and love that Oakbrook has one. Just stopped in to grab a vegan salad yesterday. The salad itself, kale, spinach, tofu, dressing, multi colored carrots and quinoa. It was a great healthy quick grab while in the go. I tried to get my son to get something but he defaulted to chipotle. But I love that they have meat and no meat healthy options. As for the salad. I would omit the celery since I don't love celery but it was all very fresh and very good. Will come back again.

    You'll be surprised how good this place is! I stop by at least once a week. Service is fast and friendly, and the restaurant is super clean! Highly recommend visiting this location to anyone looking to enjoy a healthy meal.

    Avo Matcha
    Eric G.

    Take this review as you will but just know I have only had protein shakes here and no food as of yet! Once I do I'll update but what I can say is that these protein shakes are an absolute must! The Avo matcha was recommended to me by the cashier and I'm so glad I took her recommendation cause now I'm addicted! I have tried other shakes and their all great so can't go wrong with any of the other choices

    The Perk
    Vanessa G.

    Great spot to pick up a quick lunch. Food and protein shakes were tasty and love that you're able to get a healthy meal What I tried: The Perk - espresso whey protein, chocolate whey protein, house-made cocoa malt & almond milk (25g of protein) Wrigley Peeled - organic peanut butter, banana, agave, chocolate whey protein & almond milk (25g of protein) Mexicali - chicken, corn, black beans, cheddar, warm kale, salsa, spicy tomatillo lime sauce, chipotle Greek yogurt topped with guac served over quinoa Spicy Korean - beyond beef meatballs, diced cucumber, spinach, pickled red onion, pickled carrot & sweet and spicy chili sauce served over cauliflower rice Everything had such good flavor and the employees were so nice. Can't wait to go back and try other items and definitely want to try their breakfast food.

    Chick'n Tinga Bowl
    Meagan S.

    My new go-to for a quick lunch! My order was ready quickly and put on the shelf for easy grab and go. It was fresh, tasty, and I love how they have options for all dietary preferences--including vegan cheese! Their new chick'n menu items were so delicious, and the "chicken" pieces were so flavorful, tender, and meaty. The seating is open and airy, so it's a great place to enjoy your meal.

We also waited quite a while to order our food because she was chatting with another guest. Even so, we will probably give this place another try on a less busy day, as we went on a Saturday afternoon. They have a really solid veggie burger, and there's no up-charge to substitute, which I always appreciate. I ordered the Baja California burger, which was a really nice combination of flavors. I upgraded my fries for Cajun fries and honestly wouldn't next time. The Cajun spice was not spicy at all and the flavor wasn't worth the extra $2.99.

The beers were excellent, and the food looked and smelled so good that we vowed to come back! We've been back twice now and loved it each time! You can't go wrong with their beers! Their flagships are solid and they always have a healthy number of experimental brews. Best of all the worlds! This time we both got IPAS and loved them all: Trail Trip, West Coast Pixel, and Swells! Trail Trip was my favorite because I prefer non-hazy. For dinner I got the double-dipped fried chicken sandwich with a side of fries. YUM! Bursting with flavor and deliciousness! The spicy gochujang sauce is divine! And super filling! My husband did the OG Burger, Fries, and 10 oz beer for $15 Monday/Tuesday deal. He loved the food, drink, and the deal! The space is so clean, open, and inviting. The front dinning area is spacious enough with plenty of seating and the bar, but there is also a fantastic outdoor space. The servers will all friendly, helpful, and professional. Things can move a little slowly, but it is worth the wait! On busy weekend nights, they do have online reservations, so that can be a good way to secure a spot! Next time we are in Elmhurst, we will definitely be back. We love Phase 3!

So make sure you're paying close attention to your GPS when you're heading there. The good news is it's located in a mall area, so there's plenty of parking, which makes it very convenient. The atmosphere is not overly upscale, but it definitely still gives fine dining energy. The low lighting creates a more intimate vibe, making it a great place for a date night, dinner with friends, or even a relaxed evening meal. The food is consistently good, and the drinks are always on point. This time I ordered the baby back ribs with mashed potatoes, and it was my first time trying that dish there. The ribs were fall-off-the-bone good, and the mashed potatoes were a perfect pairing. My friend ordered the pork chop, butterflied and cut open, and she said it was simply amazing.

We sat in the bar and had a great server named Shawn. Shawn was engaging and provided great service. I'll definitely request him next time I visit. I wasn't drinking that night, but hubby solo'd it with a bourbon cocktail called a Paper Plane. He said it was very tasty, especially on the hot day. We shared the ahi tuna tartare to start. The tartare was a stack of tuna with tropical salsa and avocado. So fresh. It came with a basket of crispy lavish bread, I hope when the restaurant switches their recipe that they will continue making a seedless lavish for those who can't do nuts or seeds. Hubby had the wood grilled tenderloin salad for dinner. I had to get a taste of that tenderloin because it was cooked perfectly. It was so tasty and seasoned well. I had the wood grilled Idaho rainbow trout, swapping out the asparagus for carrots. The trout came with a dill mustard sauce which I nixed and just squeezed fresh lemon on the fish. The fish was moist and smoky. Of course, we had to get the little dessert shooters to end the meal. Hubby had the Belgian chocolate s'mores, which was ridiculously decadent. I had the more conservative raspberry cannoli dessert. These tiny sweet treats are delicious mini indulgences. I love them because you want something a little sweet at the end of a meal but don't want a huge dessert. I think they're perfect. I like Seasons 52 because every item on the menu has the calories listed. Their food is always very good and the service is top-notch. When I ordered the tuna appetizer, a manager came over right away and asked me about a seed allergy because they noticed I said no nuts and seeds on my reservation.

The steak was honestly amazing. Super tender, juicy, and cooked perfectly all the way through with that slight pink center. The wood-grilled flavor really came through too. You could taste that smoky char on the outside while the inside stayed buttery soft. The mushroom red wine sauce brought everything together.

From the romantic atmosphere to the incredible food, definitely a place I'd come back to again.
