Thai Monster
Ronan D.

Delicious, thoroughly enjoyed, perfect balance of protein, carbs, veg and sauce. 10/10

Areanna S.

Please. Go. This place was approved by my trainer! They have SOOOOO many options! One of my favorite parts of the ambiance. They have clips of Superhuman TV playing constantly. It's quite inspiring. The food?!? DELICIOUS! They show the amount of protein and carbs which is helpful if you are being mindful of how you eat. The staff was so helpful! They offered suggestions and helped me substitute options with grace. They encouraged me to try the Thai Monster and it was .. a great decision. Please. Go. It's pricier than most, however, it's worth it. Oh! Another thing! The Bison and Steak were cooked to perfection. They ask how you like it cooked and delivered fairly well. So, again... please. Go! Also, open one in St. Louis, please!

Bison  Burger
Michel S.

I have seen this restaurant from the highway and I was always intrigued about it and I wanted to try it. This Saturday, I remembered that I had not tried the restaurant so I decided to give it a shot. I walked in and I loved the fact that it was clean. I ordered a bison burger medium with sweet potato fries and their chocolate mini muffins. The burger was served well done and it was a bit dry. The fries were cold and old or very soft. The taste of the burger was good but it was dry so I had a lot of ketchup yo go with it. I did not say anything to the staff because my rule is to never send food back. I will give them another shot in a few weeks as I think it may have been an exception and not the norm. I gave them because the restaurant was clean, the staff was friendly and efficient.

My husband & I are big gym rats. Any opportunity we can, we will try to drive over to Protein House. The staff is incredibly accommodating, and no request seems to be too great for them. They're always super knowledgeable & I think I end up making a new friend every time we go. The best part of going, is having the macros listed out for you - it is a great chance to get your protein filled while also being able to see what you're consuming. Their drinks are always delicious & I always recommend grabbing something to take home for later. We love our protein house!!

More seating with high top bar style- cool!

Came here for the smoothieeeees!! Protein House did not disappoint. Got the Apple Butter, no yogurt, vegan protein. FANTASTIC!! It was a liquid apple pie put into a protein smoothie and I couldn't get enough of it. 24 oz cups - great portion! And for the price! My friend got the Ms Skinny and my husband got the Green Beast. They loved them. Total spent was $26.xx before gratuity. During pandemic protocol, no masks are required to enter. Employees were not masked. Social distancing is marked out on floor. Dine in is open and very spacious. Customer service was great and very helpful. Visited during a holiday at breakfast time and it was a good pace of customers. Not sure why Protein House has mediocre reviews here in Yelp but I thought they were great! I look forward to coming back for the food. Some vegan/vegetarian options were available and looks like they can customize the recipes to be vegan/vegetarian.

This hit the spot! I was looking for a light lunch that wouldn't weigh me down the rest of the day. This is what my friends and I got. The portobello chicken sandwich was delicious can't wait to have it again. My friend said salmon wrap that was bomb! Place is clean and staff is very friendly and helpful with the menu. I will be back!!

I had high hopes for this place based on reviews. The inside is an order at the counter concept which led me to believe it would be quick. I waited 30 mins or more for my food. I was there about 11:30 on a Monday. I ordered the bison burger medium rare and I was much over cooked in my opinion and not very warm. I do think it would have been tasty if prepared correctly.

After years of just never quite aligning, we finally had B-bops for lunch on Monday. First tip (and…read morethis is coming from a fat guy), seriously, consider the 1/4 lb anything before considering the 1/2 lb. We parked and walked up to the front window just after 11. They were cheerful and ready to help us, but we wanted to study the menu for a minute. They didn't bother us, but just made sure we knew they were there when we were ready. Great attitudes the entire time we were there. I got the double bacon burger, and she got the double cheeseburger. Both of them were delectable, but they must measure the weight after cooking the burger - because WOW. The bacon was nice and thick, but could've used another piece. Though honestly, I probably won't get bacon next time. Didn't need it. The chili cheese fries were otherworldly. We haven't found chili cheese fries. We liked that much in about 10 years. The warm food was warm. The chocolate shakes were awesome. Love that they only do chocolate shakes and specialize in it. It was like a frosty on steroids. Bottom line is don't wait as long as we did to have this amazing food.

No indoor dining or ordering: only drive through or window ordering with picnic tables outside. They're best known for their burger, which is good! The party could be better but the cheese mayo and mustard combo hits. Their fries are good and you can get them as chili fries or with cheese dip or ranch on the side. Their chocolate shakes are super thick and delish! Service is good and quick. Not the most amazing quality but a comfort classic.

Intimate, dark atmosphere inside, and brighter (and often warmer!) out back on the patio. Meatloaf and Salmon entrees are regulars for us, but we've tried almost every sandwich and many of the other entrees, and they are always full of flavor and delicious. Salads are fresh and have very good quality lettuce and veggies. Dressings are good as well. Small bar with drop in seating, but it pays to get a reservation. They currently use Toast to take reservations and you'll get a reminder the day prior to your visit. Walk in's often find it challenging to squeeze in here! Service is always good and the bartenders make a good drink.

This place is right on the corner, well maintained and has good signage. It lacks on curb appeal, but we came for the food, drinks and atmosphere. Upon entering we were greeted by big crowds and a very busy place. We lucked out and were able to sit right down (at the bar of course). The place is dated, and slightly divey but it has a lot of seating and the staff all seemed to be busy making it happen! There is a lot of table seating both high top and standard table and chairs. In addition to about 20 seats at the bar. Plenty of televisions with all types of content playing. Although it was busy we soon had 2 bartenders offering us drinks and menus. Shortly after we were drinking our beers and ordered some hamburgers. Kim opted for the regular hamburger with cheese and a side of fries. I ordered the jalapeño blue cheese burger. It was loaded with plenty of blue cheese crumbles and the jalapeños were a nice touch. I will say they were both solid choices. They make it clear that the $12-15 sandwiches do not come with sides unless you order the baskets. So sides are all in addition to the prices on the burgers. So it makes it a bit more expensive and for me $20 for a burger and fries is on the high side for anywhere in or around the metro. The service was good and as the crowd began to die down we ordered a second round. Though I feel the prices for stand alone sandwiches are high, at least the ones we had and the ones we saw delivered to other tables were pretty generous in size and the ingredients seemed fresh. All in all a pretty decent experience. If you are looking for a well made sandwich, in Grimes this seems like a good place to find it.

Destination Grille has a lot going for it, but the pricing is undeniably steep--especially for…read moreadult beverages. It's the kind of menu that makes you pause and wonder whether the experience will justify the cost. Another ongoing concern is the dinner rush: wait times can be long, and a call‑ahead or online waitlist option would make a huge difference. I highly recommend making a reservation if you plan to visit during peak hours. What consistently brings us back, though, is the service and the food. Our server, Brody--who we've actually had on every visit--has been exceptional each time. He's attentive, friendly, and always on top of everything. The dishes are consistently impeccable, and Brody's professionalism truly elevates the entire experience. Thank you to Destination Grille and the staff for making each visit enjoyable. We love the seasonal menu and the creative changes. This would easily be a five‑star review if the pricing, noise level, and wait times were more manageable.

I ordered a club salad and after two bites an insect crawled out of the lettuce. The waiter apologized and ask if I wanted another salad which struck me as an odd question give the current experience. He said that the buy the lettuce from a supplier. I was concerned that lettuce from the same container would be used for a replacement salad and declined as who knows how much bug poop was on the lettuce. He did offer other choices but by that time I was unsure about any replacement. I was not charged for the salad and I did pay for my companion's lunch. I left a tip as it was not the waiter's fault. On my first visit I order a fish sandwich which was quite good. I did notice that the decor could use a good dusting. Again, not the wait staff's fault. The food is ok, a bit over priced, but given that a drive through hamburger, fries and a drink will shoot the best part of $15.00 it would not out of line for the menu and venue.
