Robert's Meat Market — Restaurant in Pinehurst

• UPDATING REVIEW * I ordered 25 links of beef sausage a couple of months ago and had my son pick it up for me $137.00 I noticed a difference in the taste on some of them and some of the casings were very tough. I called and told them and they said next time I'm in they'd replace 3 links.. Well yesterday I drove to Orange Texas to buy more sausage. " When it's good " it's delicious " I bought 24 links to bring home.
• See I drive 3hrs one way to get it * I asked Mary the cashier if they had a trash bag I could purchase. "" She was friendly "" My plan was to put the sausage in my insulated bag and set a bag of ice on top to keep it cold on my way home. So Mary asked Norma and Norma told me I could buy a Styrofoam ice chest from them. I said I don't want a ice chest just a trash bag and I offered to pay for it. Well she threw one on the counter rudely and then Mary told her that I was suppose to get 3 links of sausage for free. Norma rolled her eyes and walked away. I didn't care about the 3 sausage but I do care about her attitude when I drove 6hrs round trip and spent over $100.00. Okay now today May 22nd. I made a link of sausage for breakfast. It has a stale old taste and I noticed that it was packaged on May 8th. I don't know that the date has anything to do with the taste but it's bland and taste like it's freezer burned. I USE TO LOVE THIS SAUSAGE If anyone was traveling through Orange, I'd get them to grab me some.. ☆☆☆ NOT ANYMORE ☆☆☆ The quality of the product has changed so much, I don't drive 6hrs to get a attitude over a trash bag😳 Unfortunately I won't be coming back
• I'm not telling you not to stop * I'm just giving a honest review. I've been coming here for over 2yrs. It's sad that the quality has changed

♡♡ Below is my old review ♡♡ YOUR GOING TO THE CASINO STOP IN ORANGE TEXAS * Roberts Restaurant/Meat Market is only about a mile or so from the highway. You have to stop here. The restaurant is so good. We had the steam table. We had Chicken fried steak going to the Casino and Liver and onions heading home. The Chicken fried steak was enormous. Comes with 2 sides, bread and dessert. The waitresses are friendly and the restaurant is clean. Next to the restaurant is a old fashioned meat market. I bought 3 links of beef sausage. It's so good. Tastes like it's been smoked and it wasn't expensive!!!! 3 large links was only 12.00. Not greasy nor fatty. Totally delicious. Planning a trip from College Station to Orange Texas to buy...

My husband and I seldom get to go anywhere out for dinner. The last time I was at Robert's I had taken him there with our daughter for Father's Day. I wasn't that impressed with my steak but it was alright, and they were very busy that day. We were recently in the area again and I was starving and wanted a good steak, so we went to Robert's. Our server left a bit to be desired. Everything was going to be right out, but never was, except for our main course which arrived before we finished our salad and our lukewarm blooming onion. She also forgot to bring the butter and the bread twice, and NEVER asked my empty tea glass husband if he would like a refill. I still tipped her $10. The kicker is this: I ordered a T-Bone ($22.00). I got a steak with absolutely NO MEAT on what is the best and most tender side of a T-Bone. NONE. I called the waitress over and told her my steak was not a T-Bone. She left and came back with some explanation from the butcher (please remember this is also a MEAT MARKET) about cutting down the length . . . blah, blah, blah. I replied "Yes, he is cutting too far down and trying to pass it off as something it is not. There are only so many T-Bone's you can get." She took it back and they cooked me another. Meanwhile my starving self ate all my baked potato. Needless to say, the meal I had so looked forward to with my husband was ruined. I did finally get my $22.00 T-Bone with some tender meat extending about 1/4 down the bone. My bill was not reduced in the least. No one came out and apologized, except the waitress and it wasn't her fault. I wonder how many people are going to Robert's and being taken advantage of. Fortunately for me, my mother worked as a butcher when she was young, and she taught me well. In addition, there is a picture of all the meat cuts right out in their own hallway. Perhaps they should look at it themselves. I will NEVER go here again. My husband had a ribeye and said that it did not have the flavor you would expect from a steak house that has its own meat market with what should be fresh prime meat. In the future, I will drive the extra miles to get a good steak at a real steakhouse. This place is a total disappointment for steak, unless you don't...

For one, this place is short staffed on a sunday @3. I guess they're not use to a large party's coming in at that time. We were party of 16. 4 adults, 10 kids and 2 small children under 4. We waited on the first meal for 35 minutes. Our waitress brought plates out one at a time as it was cooked so we were all eating sporadically. I myself had the chicken salad which was not good at all! Chicken was pink in the middle because it didnt properly cook due to breading being so thick. Another adult ordered the cheese enchilada and the beans and rice that came with, were dry and hard. One adult was not happy about our party being charged gratuity which was 18% because they believed the service was poor so a manager came to our table. She was very unprofessional and rude and said that it is standard for them to charge for a party more than 15. The adult wanted it taken off so they could tip how they seen fit, to which the manager was very reluctant. So the customer tossed the receipt onto the table and walked away and managers response was to say "never come back to our restaurant." In the process of all of this, our waitress got her feelings hurt which wasn't intentional. She did the best she could with what training she had. I agree that if in any restaurant it is mandatory to pay 18% gratuity, it should be posted in bold, somewhere near the entryway of the restaurant. The front desk cashier did end up removing the gratuity off of the complaining customer's receipt and the customer in return left a $20 tip for the waitress. Unfortunately, We will not be back to this restaurant. The cook and manager need to be replaced for this place to...
