PROTEINHOUSE — Restaurant in Modesto

I tried to like this Protein House place, I really did. Went about 6-7 times since they opened. They’re probably the only pure healthy food option in Modesto especially since they offer many good vegan options with good sweet potato mash and tofu bowls. Two things: they need better cooks, and the service is infuriatingly slow. I’ve been a cook for 10+ years- who cooks (non savory) pancakes with olive oil? You know the kind you put maple syrup on🤷‍♂️. The batter for the vegan pancakes was gritty and excessively greasy; you might be able to put salmon arugula and vinegrette on them but they’re way too heavy. Same for the other pancakes since they cook them all the same way. Free advice, try sunflower oil- it’s lighter, neutral and way more appropriate for grilled breakfast carbs like waffles, pancakes & French toast. Finally the wait time for a simple dine-in lunch order for two, shouldn’t be 40 minutes… “we have a lot of orders” is no excuse. If Uber Eats & Doordash are your priorities, it’s time to stop dining room service. Said dining room by the way, is cramped and uncomfortable; sun glare is always a problem and they don’t have a proper curtain to block it out. Multiple problems here but they have the healthy dining market almost cornered in Modesto so maybe they fix...

There are some things you can’t control to have good quality and healthy food, and that’s the wait time that it takes to cook it! So although every time I’ve come it’s taken more than 25 minutes for my food to be ready, that is the least of my worries because the food tastes amazing and it’s healthy. So for that 5 stars for the food! The only thing that can be prevented is getting the order right and also hot. The first time I came I got a Muscle Freak Smoothie and it took 25 minutes, and it was correct. The second time I got a muscle builder with a side of fries and it took 40 minutes and by the time I got the plate my burger was cold but the fries were hot. The third time, I waited for 30 minutes for my order and it was the wrong order, so I had to wait an additional 25 minutes to get my food! This restaurant is great for the community who like to lift and build muscle while have the convenience of ordering out, but the staff doesn’t seem confident in their knowledge. The chefs look overwhelmed while everyone else running the front area are on there phones in between customers and seem to be riding the good vibe while everyone else is stressed! Overall, props to the good food, everyone is nice and polite just wish it was a bit...

Ok, normally, this place is freaking amazing. I have spent so much money in their establishment. Well, a lot of money for me. Generally I eat the food and I am just in love and want to spend more money to try other things. However, the last few times I went there, their egg is always overcooked, and cooking a steak is just not going to happen. There is no point in putting how I like my steak because regardless, it's going to be over well done. Some people like their steak jerky. However, I always request mine to be medium to medium rare, and yet, for some reason, the chef either must be new or they been there and just don't know how to prepare meats appropriately. I'm only writing this because the last few times, either the steak was barely cooked or it's always burnt. Please the owner either teach your chef how to cook a steak properly or hire someone that actually knows how to cook and prepare foods. Because your food when done perfectly its...
