At Protein Bar & Kitchen we believe in people. We’re dedicated to the pursuit of powerful food and personal fulfillment. We’re passionately supportive of our guests and their lifestyles. We’re influencers, but we come by it honestly.

It’s simple: we serve the food we’d always wanted. We believe that good-for-you isn’t good enough when it doesn’t taste great. We believe you can be a knowledgeable, passionate foodie and still approachable. We like to laugh, and why not?

We believe in the power of protein, and its importance to growth. Above all, we work hard and believe in each other - in our collective passion and potential. We aim to support each other on individual journeys and strive not just to feed, but to nourish.

In 2009, we opened our doors at a very small Chicago storefront with a very big idea. Instead of fast food, we’d serve fast fuel: shakes that were delicious, nutritious, and protein-packed. It was a success from the start but quickly became something even bigger... a game changer. We saw what was happening and got excited. Let’s keep going. So we discovered quinoa and expanded the menu to serve a full selection of high-protein salads, wraps, and bowls customizable for all diets.

Every body loved it. The all-day power of protein grew in popularity. We all started eating, feeling and moving better. It’s all good.
