Robert's Craft Kitchen & Bar — Restaurant in Medina

How do you even start with a burrito this big? Steak bites that are small, one at a time… 🫢😬

Oofda, that was a rough pun. I’ll have to cover it up… with A LOT OF CHEESE 🤤

The queso is in no short supply over at Robert’s. Here’s what we got:

Chipotle Chicken Burrito 🌯 🍗 with House smoked chipotle chicken, cheddar-jack cheese, jasmine rice, corn & black bean salsa, chipotle crème, flour tortilla, homemade queso, fresh pico de gallo, fiesta salad, and tortilla chips

Steak Bites 🥩🧅 with crimini mushrooms, jasmine rice, crispy onion straws, tomatoes, and a side of chipotle crème

Teriyaki Rice Bowl 🥦 🍚 Grilled Chicken, stir-fried vegetables, sweet Asian plum sauce, jasmine rice, crispy wontons, and green onions

All from an establishment inside of the entertainment center off Highway 55 in Medina, MN road 🛣

The steak was surprisingly cooked to an excellent medium-rare (I find that many places overcook meats in appetizers). Totally tender and delicious, the fried onions gave a nice light crunch to this starter 💯 I didn’t feel the rice was needed, but some might like it to help absorb the awesome side of savory, smoky chipotle créme, which complimented the steak well👌

And then BOOM! A total BOMB of a burrito came next💥 I promise there’s a burrito under all that cheese 😉 Holy buckets this was phenomenal! Rice-to-meat ratio met my expectations for sure, fresh Pico left a bit of a lighter note, and the corn salsa came through with more texture 👏 And the cheese… yes please 😁 This monster might only be for a mighty appetite, but there’s always the take-home option 🤫

My dining companion had mostly delightful remarks on the stir-fry style dish. Her one note: save it for those who seriously favor tomatoes 🍅

Overall, I was very impressed by Robert’s. There were plenty of unique menu items, presentation was on point, and several levels of flavor kept the whole meal interesting and novel. I’d head back...

I've been here twice: once a couple of years ago, and then again on 10/27/17 (2 nights ago). Both times left me wishing I could afford to eat here every single day. Both times I had the chicken tenders with the bourbon barbecue dipping sauce, a plain hamburger and tater barrels (tator tots), and both times I couldn't get enough.

The chicken tenders were by far the best chicken tenders I've ever had: they were absolutely delicious and a real pleasure to sink my teeth into. As if that weren't good enough, the bourbon barbecue dipping sauce was amazingly perfect with these chicken tenders, but they were still extremely good without anything on them. They were truly tender and were extremely easy to eat and extremely delicious.

The hamburger was just as tender and extremely easy to eat. The bun and the patty were both just a real pleasure to sink my teeth into. I added some of the fresh ground pepper from the provided pepper mill, and the peppercorns are quite good (not the best I've had, but still quite good).

You'd think that tater barrels would be nothing special, but no, these were just the same as the chicken tenders and the burger: a real pleasure to sink my teeth into, and had an excellent flavor. Adding just a little bit of ketchup made them even better.

After I had about half of the hamburger with nothing on it, I added some ketchup and mustard to each bite (Heinz restaurant mustard!!!), and wow. Just wow.

I wish I could eat at Robert's every single day. I didn't think I'd have enough room for all that food, but I found myself wanting another helping of it! I wonder if that means the food didn't really have any harmful ingredients like partially hydrogenated oils and whatnot.

I had 2 people with me who were both with me the last time I went, and they both feel the same way about Robert's: absolutely top-notch food no matter...

Decided to try this place after hearing their ad on the radio. We drove from the T.C. (a 40 minute drive) on a beautiful Friday afternoon. Arrived around 5 p.m. where we waited 5 minutes before seeing anyone in the greeting area, had to ask if we should seat ourselves or not. Our servers and the host (when they eventually showed up) were extremely friendly. We ordered an appetizer (steak w- onions and rice) which arrived promptly and hot) were extremely good . The issues we had were after, our entrees were just awful. My s/o ordered the meatloaf dinner without mushrooms and I had the black and blue hamburger.

The meatloaf dinner arrived just loaded with mushrooms.( when asked to leave the mushrooms off the order). I mean caked. My s/o decided to scrape them off and deal with it without calling over our server. The meatloaf was dry and overcooked. The accomanying gravy way so saulty it made the entree inedible. My hambuger was served well done and the blue cheese was horrible. Not only was there way to much, the abundance of salt had us wondering if the chef knew of another spice.

We were given a complimentary dessert as it was my s/o's birthday. We ordered a "banana creme pie" which was a ball of paste that we wondered if it was some kind of punishment for eventually telling our server of our dissapointment with our meals.

Overall the staff was kind and friendly but the meal is what we drive over an hour for and was the...
