😐 I got the spinach and pesto barrito. I don't know if it was missing a dressing but that has to be the dryest wrap I've ever had! The side bag of chips was delicious though--not the run of the mill potato chips. People often mention delicious, order, bowl, service, restaurant, smoothie, time, healthy, ordered, wrap,

    Ordered this Veggie Chili soup along with a Summer Protein bowl. Both were delicious but the complain is about the Veggie Chili as shown on the photos attached. I took the pictures as soon as I opened the lid. It really stunned me as to how blunt they are with their scam lol. ONLY 1/4 of the bowl being filled for 8 bucks??? Second picture shows a spoon reached down to the bottom to show how little the portion actually was. The pictures were taken BEFORE one single spoon of soup even being consumed. I really hope this is simply an overpriced item on the menu and had nothing to do with my LAST NAME. But it's really hard to think of any other reasons as to why they would fill only 1/4 of the bowl of soup for a customer. Isn't it common sense to fill no less than half the bowl of soup?? Just wow. Never again come back to this location. I will definitely try out the same item at a different location and upload the pictures just to prove that it wasn't the restaurant itself, but the specific staff who served it.

    Love this place. Build out has a great vibe, conveniently located, helpful staff when I ask for recommendations. I actually feel better after having a smoothie from here. More energy, stronger and its tasty. Such a great meal option.

    Tried this for the first time today. I ordered the green goddess wrap for pick up. It was ready by the time I got there. The wrap tasted good and clean and was very filling. Loved the amount of plant based ingredients in this chicken wrap. It was a bit pricey, but I could've also gotten a full sized salad at Panera for the same price for comparison. I would go there again and would recommend for a quick healthy food option.

    It was my first time at the place, I went after a nice workout at LA fitness. The place was absolutely beautiful and clean but the customer service was terrible when I was trying to check out and that Resulted in me leaving without buying product.

    For the amount that you pay for the food, you would think that the quality would be superb, however I was disappointed by the brown leaves and carrots in my bowl. Also the chicken was just okay, not anything special and didn’t have a lot of flavor. I did like my smoothie though, this might be a better place for protein drinks rather than food/salads

    Ordered two salads to go, $26 total, one of which was supposed to be Harvest with roasted veggies. But it ended up missing the roasted veggies and had some bad lattice (which is not acceptable for a salad place). Also, the salad looked nothing like the salad in the picture. And…..it cost nearly $15 w/chicken substituted for salmon. Restaurant refunded the money. But I would have rather had a good salad. A little sad.

    Awesome place to get a smoothie. I’ve been craving a good smoothie for a while. I have drove past Protein Bar& Kitchen a few times and decided to check it out. OMG!! I got an awesome açaí smoothie that was under $9. Practically unheard of nowadays. Plus it was fully blended, and it was cold when I picked it up. So many times I’ll get a shake of a smoothie from a place and it isn’t fully blended or it is lukewarm. I am excited to go back soon.

    Recently ordered the black bean barrito on DoorDash -- it was still warm when it arrived, and it arrived timely. The ingredients were fresh, tasty, and exceeded my expectations. I will go to the restaurant/order again sometime.

    I can not share an opinion on the atmosphere. I ordered online and had the food delivered. I can say that the food was delicious, the prices were reasonable, and the delivery time was "fast."

  • 5/5 Kim S. 4 months ago on Google
    We ordered via Uber Eats. The food was outstanding, fresh and delicious. The portion was perfect. The overall experience was so good we will make PBK our new favorite lunch place!

  • 5/5 Riley D. 5 months ago on Google
    I normally order through the mobile app and do pick up. I’ll never seem to have any major issues. My order is always ready to go when I walk in making the service super quick and efficient.

  • 5/5 Tom T. 8 months ago on Google
    Protein Bar consistently overperforms, and never disappoints. From the quality of the food and healthy ingredients, to the service, this place is A+. Although I have found all of Protein Bars locations to be consistent, the staff at Oakbrook Terrace standout. They are professional, courteous, and prompt, and the restaurant is always clean

  • 5/5 Michael F. 8 months ago on Google
    No stars for the service and atmosphere as I did grub hub. But absolutely delighted with the order experience! Came faster than I was originally told, the food was delicious as all get up! And unlike the last few order outs I’ve experienced elsewhere they supplied us with utensils and napkins! Top notch!

  • 5/5 Barry V. 9 months ago on Google
    EVERYONE, especially Cassidy, is super nice at this restaurant. The food is super healthy and great portioned. The customer service is excellent here.

  • 5/5 Sarah S. 3 years ago on Google
    This a great place if you are on the go and want something healthy. I loved my shake and cannot wait to eat the Spicy Korean Bowl I got for lunch. Everyone that works there are very friendly and helpful. Update: the Spicy Korean Bowl was amazing. I wish I had more. The flavor was great with the right amount of heat. Will definitely go back.

    Tasty little spot right next to an LA fitness. Crew working was very friendly and fast. The food was good. I had a salmon rice bowl and a chocolate coffee protein shake. Please remind me of an orange theory. If it had a restaurant. I would go here again. Great spot to go after work out for some light food.

  • 5/5 Megan J. 10 months ago on Google
    Mobile Order experience is super easy! When I walked in, it smelled amazing. Today was only a smoothie order but can’t wait to try something for lunch! Smoothie was deliciously healthy. It was prepared quickly and correctly and everyone who I spoke to that worked there was well knowledged and very friendly.

    Third time is a charm.. The first 2 times- it just didn't taste the same as the Downtown location and the servings were less.

  • 5/5 Marni O. 10 months ago on Google
    The spring protein bowl I ordered was large, fresh and delicious. The service was prompt and employees were polite and friendly. (An added bonus, they had the cleanest, most sweet-smelling public bathroom I’ve ever seen)

  • 4/5 Mr B. 4 years ago on Google
    I had the southwest wrap and a ginger/lemon kombucha drink. The wrap was okay. I think to expect all of the same flavor as a non-healthy food choice is ludicrous. Service was good too. My only advice is to not drink kombucha and go back to work. It empties your bowels like you wouldn't believe. Yikes! and holy moly! 😱😨

  • 5/5 Jalisa H. 1 year ago on Google
    From walking in the door to using the restrooms, I was very impressed with the cleanliness of the space. The shake I ordered was wonderful and the employees were friendly.

  • 5/5 Ina S. 1 year ago on Google
    Love this place!!! Not only is the food amazing but the staff is outstanding!! Very welcoming!!!! I’ve lost 5lbs since eating here!!!!

  • 2/5 Allie S. 2 years ago on Google
    I am very confused by this place. Great location, very clean, a menu to where I would like to try every single thing, just very strange experiences. I work down the street, and I've tried coming to this location twice within the past 6 months or so, and both times I ended up leaving without buying anything. I wait at the register, see employees in the kitchen, some are working, some are standing around talking, and no one comes up to take my order. I tried getting their attention both times, and nothing. I want to like this place, I want to try their food, but if no one wants to take an order, it makes it a bit difficult. At least now I know the first time wasn't a fluke.

  • 5/5 Miranda S. 1 year ago on Google
    So many tasty, healthy options. Not just salads and juices but sandwiches, smoothies, wraps, etc. Hot or cold, and there were plenty of vegan options for me.

  • 5/5 Jeremy K. 3 years ago on Google
    Their fall protein bowl was delicious!! A blend of fall seasonings, with a nice light, lemon vinaigrette dressing tasted delightful. Very fast service as well. I'll be coming back to try some of their other items on the menu for sure!

  • 5/5 Bryanna R. 1 year ago on Google
    I have been on a mission to eat clean since having my children and this restaurant makes it easy and tasty when I don't feel like prepping my own meals. I love their perk protein shake with espresso and chocolate flavored protein. They have a delicious southwest salad that I get with tofu and take it with me to eat when I work. I also tried their vegan chili that had quinoa and guac in it and it was out of this world. Everything is delicious and healthy and well worth the money!

  • 1/5 Raghvendra A. 2 years ago on Google
    The taste was alright but the potion size was very small. Not enough to fill an adult. For the price I expected it to be a decent sized portion.

  • 5/5 Eduardo S. 1 month ago on Google • 2 reviews New
    Fresh tasting food, chill music and ambiance, clean restaurant and they always have my order ready by the time I get there when I order in the app or a very short wait for in person orders. The staff and managers are always so pleasant, welcoming and personable, too!

  • 5/5 Jackie M. 1 month ago on Google • 1 review New
    Food & beverage was delicious. Friendly service too. Definitely recommend, especially after a workout!
