| - I live right down the street so I've been here many times. I've dined in as well as ordered to go. They messed up both me and my boyfriend's to-go order last night but this is the first time it's ever happened so I wasn't upset. Also we both agreed that the food was too tasty to be mad.
I always order the Mediterranean Quinoa... so delicious! I've also had the Western Avocado Salad (minus the cheese) but this was meh at best. Last night I ordered the California Cobb wrap (also without cheese) and in a cabbage wrap. While I was bummed because the eggs were completely missing and it was hard to eat because it kept falling apart, it was still very good. I was actually very surprised at how much flavor it had with and without the dressing included on the side. I loved it and will be ordering it again (please don't forget my eggs next time!). My boyfriend had the Steak Lovers Bowl and although he asked for jasmine rice and got brown rice instead, he also said it was super delicious. Eh, we were still pretty hungry after but we did just finish a Pilates workout.
Additionally, I love the people that work there. They're really smiley and very helpful. I always appreciate them!
The downside for me is the price. The Mediterranean Quinoa always seems great to me because if I'm under $10 for lunch, I'm happy... and it's well under that. In fact, all their salads are reasonably priced unless you add a protein, which I never do. But between two of us last night, we nearly spent $30. And that's just entrees, we didn't order any drinks. That's a problem because that's the price you'd spend for 2 entrees at a nice sit down place. I know they use quality ingredients but The Protein Source is more of an after-gym-healthy-bite-to-eat spot and I think some things should be less expensive. If they were, I would eat here more often than I already do. I usually meal prep my own protein, carb, and green and if they lowered the prices a bit, I'd do build-your-owns here pretty often. Though that's my gripe, I will say that they have made positive changes to their menu recently. Being a healthy spot, I was shocked they didn't have nutritional information posted. Their menu now has this info which is great!
Tip: Check in on Yelp for $1 off a protein shake or juice :)
