I love the staff at Protein Bar Oak Brook. I go there once in a while to grab some food and the staff and management are the best. They are super friendly and the service is on point. I just want to say thanks for the great service, especially to Lianna and Mac!! read more

Protein bar! Oh I could sing your praises all day and into the night! ...except I can't, because you changed your hours and early evening isn't even included. I remember a time when I could get the southwest salad with tofu after a workout session at next door LA fitness. But those days are a thing of the past. Keep making delicious, healthy food, but please reconsider your hours. read more

we are always looking for a healthy place to grab lunch. While Jason's deli next door offers a good option this place takes the vegan cake. A bit pricey but tasty options~! read more

Received a gift card for Protein Bar and decided to give it a try. We're always looking for healthier food options and this seemed to be along that path. I had the Mexicali bowl and the wife tried the Southwest salad (with ranch dressing on the side). She is a much more finicky eater than I am, and I must say that were we both impressed! The bowl didn't look that big/full when it came out, but the quantity ended up being very satisfactory. The salad was equally as deceiving in appearance, as she had a hard time finishing it, too. I must say the food was delicious and was just what we were looking for. The only negative was I felt it was a little pricey for what you got. Otherwise, definitely worth checking out. I'm sure we'll be back. read more

This place is decent! They need a little more flavor to there quinoa n chilli . Plus it is overpriced

I stopped by Protein Bar around 11 this morning (before the lunch rush!), and my experience couldn't have been more enjoyable. There were only a few other customers, besides myself, and the restaurant was clean and well kept. I ordered a buffalo chicken quinoa bowl, and it was delicious! But the real reason I am writing this review is because of how friendly the staff was. Particularly the young man (more like a boy..?) who took my order. He was exceptionally sweet, and I regret I didn't get his name bc he deserves a positive yelp shoutout :) read more

OMG.... I went to the protein protein bar in Oakbrook today and I had the best customer service from my cashier. She was so sweet, kind and respectable. I will definitely be coming back. Chalila makes a great addition to the Oak Brook location. read more

Walked into Protein Bar for the first time and had no idea what to get. After looking at the menu for a couple minutes, the cashier, Chris, helped me get started. Chris recommended the spinach pesto bowl and I was more than satisfied with my experience. The food came out fast and the service was great. Chris was super friendly and willing to help me out. Definitely wish I would have came here sooner. 5/5 would recommend. read more

Fun. Fresh. Clean environment. Very healthy options that are full of flavor. I had the buffalo chicken bowl with buffalo chips. It was filling and excellent. My husband had the healthy club wrap and subbed salmon for the chicken. He was very pleased with it. They include the macros on the menu board, not just calories. Very nice for those who are counting. Quick and friendly service. read more

I absolutely love the Greenbox and the Beetberry raw juices. The strawberry and kale combination in the Greenbox is creative and amazing. Not bad prices for raw juices. Clean and modern decor. read more

Unique and healthy but small menu heavily based on quinoa filled bowls and wraps. Salads and chili are also options.There are four to six basic flavor combos that pop up as bowls, wraps or salads. I chose the Buffalo Bowl and it was really tasty - a large soup cup filled with a mix of quinoa , cubed chicken, shredded carrots, chopped celery and cucumbers, blue cheese crumbles and buffalo sauce. Portions are small for restaurant standards but plenty adequate and also more true to what actual portions should be. In addition to the main dishes, they offer natural sodas, smoothies and a few snack items like granola bars, brownies, chips etc. Service was very quick and friendly. read more

Love going there! Wish it was open longer hours. And I wish there were more locations!

I got a protein shake and burrito. I'm sorry, I forgot what kind of burrito and shake I got lol. However, it was real good. Protein shake had me all hyped up and ready to go lift a treadmill lol. Burrito, I do have to get used to the taste since I am trying out this whole "healthy eating" thing. Glad this place is around. 4 stars because it is pricey. read more

Protein bar is always consistent. Food is yummy and healthy. They will make any dish vegetarian as well.

Have been meaning to get down to the city to try this place, but never did. So, while doing a little Oak Brook shopping, I made a point to stop in for lunch. It definately did not disappoint! Had the chicken quinoa chili bowl and loved it. Great flavor and with only 405 calories felt good about eating it. Will return for sure! read more

Very excited that this opened up near my work. Great place to get a healthy lunch fast. Ever so gradually, the food desert of Oak Brook is disappearing. I sort of wish the food were tastier, but it will suffice. I have to keep going back in order to get 8 punches on my frequent eater card....I have to! read more

I go to the gym next door and my boyfriend and I decided to check this place out. I ordered the Spinach and Pesto Quinoa and it was freaking amazing. It lost a star because the burrito my boyfriend got could have had more flavor, also I wish there were more low carb options. Either way we will totally be back for more quinoa! read more

I have never been to a "health place" like this so was expecting much worse. I ordered the Spinach and Pesto Quinoa - I have no idea what a Quinoa is, but it was very good. I would have given this place more stars ... but ... I had some kind of drink advertised as a Mint Shake - they kept on asking me about choices and upgrades so not sure what the hell ended up in there other than skim milk and ënergy, but the end result tasted rancid... really really rancid. I don't know who would be able to drink that. So 5 stars for the food - zero for the drink gives them a 3... and I will go back only for the food. read more

This place really surprised me. I thought the portions would be small and not filling since that's usually the drill when menu items are "healthy/low-calorie." I get the original here and add avocado, and I can say that I am always satisfied and never leave hungry. No need for a side. Great lunch option! read more

Love their food! Their signature salad called "buffalo" is delicious! Fast and convenient!

Have been going to protein bar by where I live for a couple of months now and I was in the area and stopped in to satisfy my cravings. I always get the mexicali and this time I wanted to try one of their smoothies and the employee working there, Christopher, was really friendly, and recommended the millenium perk. Needless to say, it was delicious! read more

The food was amazing! But the service was even better! The cashier vince really helped me out with everything I needed and he was so friendly! read more

Went here for the first time this past weekend and had a good experience. I wasn't sure what to order so one of the workers there, Chris, helped me with some recommendations and suggested I get the healthy club wrap and I ended up loving it. Will definitely come back!! read more

Good food and friendly staff. The Barbecue Bar-rito I had was yummy and very filling. Plenty of seating, even with the lunch crowd. I want to go back and try one of their smoothies or breakfast items. read more

I'm still not convinced that this stuff is all that healthy for you, but the food is good and that is what matters. Plus, employees are excited to be there. Perky and kind. Love the buffalo quinoa bowl and buffalo salad. I guess I like buffalo. I also tried a raw juice once -- Greenberry -- and loved it. read more

EL from Elmhurst and Arizona Eating healthy has never tasted so sweet! I eat at the Protein Bar in Oak Brook EVERY day during my month long business trips to Illinois. My favorite blended drinks after the gym are the HI-5 (with a fiber boost) or the South Acai'd (with multivitamin boost). The have a flu fighter boost and one for hang overs! At lunch time I highly recommend the Guac & Roll it has the super 6 leafy greens and a flavorful kick with the cilantro lime dressing. I fill up on half of it. I love the Quinoa Bowl mixed with all natural chicken flavored to perfection. Atmosphere is open and clean. SUPER FRIENDLY staff. Ask them for a recommendation . BEST part is they will build almost any menu item to adhere to my food allergy needs. Gluten -free, Vegan, Vegetarian or simply have the digestive system of a 100 year old like me , NO PROBLEM. I can't have dairy or seeds or crazy sauces. It is the ONLY place I can eat well and enjoy it. Don't forget desert because the BROWNIES are amazing! It is wonderful to have a place to get a quick healthy meal. They actually CARE about food, fitness and people who live a healthy lifestyle. I have ordered the food to brig to events and everyone LOVED having something different and healthy. The staff at the Oak Brook location treat me like family. Patiently waiting for them to open in Tucson , Arizona! read more

Delicious! Pricey, but delicious. The only reason I'm not here more is because between their somewhat limited hours and the fact that their options reside on the higher end of pricing, I can't justify it. read more

Why a food establishment would close at 3pm on the weekend is beyond me. I've been unable to give this company my money so many times when I'm looking for something to eat that is able to be made vegan. I guess I'll go give chipotle my money again! read more

I have been there 3 times now, and keep turning people on to this best kept secret of a place. Great tasting, healthy, high protein food, easy to get to, and cool staff. I'll be back for more! read more

I was dragged here by my wife who was looking for gluten free food for her and our daughter. Surprisingly, the spicy Korean wrap was awesome. A little more kick than expected but would totally get that again. Thoroughly impressed and now I can say I had a healthy lunch. read more

The southwest wrap was amazing and Millennium Perk smoothie was delicious and only 5g of carbs. The service was stellar and everyone was friendly. read more

Check your receipts! The cashiers need some more service training here - as I don't think I'll be returning even if it's walking distance from my office in Oak Brook. Nice place, slippery floors, food is ok. Unfortunately, having ordered a cup of water to go with my salad (the super food salad is good), I neglected to check my receipt - my fault. Apparently if you ask for a cup with a lid you will be charged $2.19- seriously!!! If you're open to feedback Protein Bar, please confirm this charge with your customers before you ring them up. Or just direct customers to take the cups without the lids. read more

I love their menu. Been dying for a nearby restaurant that is both quick and healthy. Recommend the Spinach & Pesto Quinoa bowl. Love all of their smoothies and juices. It's also very clean and well run. Sidenote: I left my purse there and one of the employees turned it in to the manager. I really wish I had gotten their names, but thank you again!! read more

My new obsession! I ordered the Buffalo Salad- flippin' amazing! It has a little spice! LOVE IT! Can't wait to go back!

I freaking love this place! Can't go wrong with the SW Salad, o rBuffalo Salad! The Curry Is out of this world!! It's my new fav! So many flavors, spicy and bold- YUMMM!! LOVE YOU, PROTEIN BAR!! read more

I absolutely love the protein bar! I come here a few times a week, and everything on the menu is super delicious and healthy for you, so it's really a place to take advantage of. The fact that all the shakes have protein and most of the meals are centered around quinoa is something you don't find in most places and more people definitely need to try. The service I think is awesome since I always get my food right away and they treat their customers well. It's a very health-conscientious place that really can be a healthier substitute to everyday meals which is why I go there so much. Definitely try it out! read more

I had the new bar tio. It was yummy. I highly recommend it. the staff was friendly and wecloming read more

Excellent juices. Extremely helpful / welcoming staff. A juicing group I'm part of - Juice Support Network - held an event here and it was just wonderful!! Will definitely be back. read more

I love love this place! It's so awesome to have a healthy alternative to all the horrible unhealthy fast food out there. I just wish there were more locations! Need one in Naperville. Manager went out of her way to make sure I was taken care of. Pesto chicken bowl-DELISH!! read more

My go-to spot for a healthy and quick lunch! You can't go wrong with the black bean bowl and the southwest salad. Every dish has tons of flavors from the bowls to the salads to the breakfast scrambles and oatmeals. I also always have to grab a shake, I've tried them all and they are all amazing! My favorites are the Millenium Perk, Wrigley Peeled and the Pier-nut Butter and Jelly! read more
