I came here with a friend for lunch post-hike out on the patio. It is a nice big patio with cover and a fence, so no need to worry about too much sun or the elements. We had a great friendly server who got us our drinks quickly. We both got the pistachio chicken salad stuffed avocado and both loved it! I could eat that thing every day. It was tasty but also healthy. I will definitely be back next time I am in the area for sure. read more

Amazing food and kind, attentive service! Our server Cindy was the best. This is a must visit any time we come through Montrose!

Stopped here on the way to Black Canyon of the Gunnison. We drove 5 hrs from Denver and were starving when we got here. It was prime lunchtime and thr place was packed. I got the pistachio chicken salad wrap with coleslaw and my friend got the thai peanut wrap with fries. It was very filling and full of flavor! Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. So glad we made the choice to come here! read more

Camp Robber - Chicken enchiladas with blue corn tortillas - New American Near Me - Montrose, Colorado

The food was good. I'd say overpriced for the portion sizes. Staff are phenomenal. Dining area is very clean.

PROS: Nice outdoor seating. Made salmon tacos despite salmon not being an option on the menu for tacos. Good flavors in the salmon tacos. Cider and beer options were decent. CONS: Disappointed in the price for the very very small portions even for a petite athletic lady. Tiny tacos. Spouse got the pistachio chicken salad that was tasteless and also overpriced for the small unsatisfying size. Building entry from the road is odd and had to loop around twice to find the roadway in. read more

Interesting menu - maybe I'd call it "Mexican comfort food". Enchiladas may have been the best I've ever had. Compatriot had the Chile rellenos and was very happy with them and our other friend had the huge Club Sandwich. A good lunch meal for all. I would go back the next time I'm in Montrose. read more

Good food and good service. We recommend this place. We stop in every time we go to Montrose.

The marketing needs to evaluated. I didn't realiz e this was a restaurant until my Grandson offered to pick up Carry Out. Good food, prompt and my Grandson said:" nice ambiance. Thx read more

We were looking for a lunch place with an outdoor patio as we had our dog with us. Being first time visitors to the area, I googled restaurants and then consulted Yelp for more reviews. This place was awesome! A great menu, superb, attentive service and so welcoming. Not only did they bring us water before we were barely in our seats, but they brought water & a bowl for our pup. We love supporting locally owned, independent restaurants so that was the icing on the cake! 28 years in business in Montrose and I hope they are there for another 28. Thanks Kim, Nate & the whole staff who worked together seamlessly to make it one of our best meals on our 2 week road trip thru beautiful Colorado! read more

Seven of us went, adults and kids, some comments: amazing service, mouthwatering food, got orders perfect, great combo of flavors, delicious food makes you want to try everything else, attention to detail, unique name, I wish it was in my backyard, the staff was very friendly, generous portions. We all really enjoyed it. read more

Camp robber is one of my go-to restaurants in Montrose. The southwestern style food is creative and delicious. The ambiance creates the appearance of busy but it's never loud. The staff are all awesome! read more

Traveling through and liked the reviews and that it wasn't far from our hotel. Couldn't be better!!! Everyone was friendly and professional. We particularly appreciated that Kim, the owner, stopped by to introduce herself and check on us. We enjoyed a couple of Colorado beers. I had the pistachio chicken salad which I figured I'd try even though a couple of ingredients listed on the menu made me question my choice. Simply amazing!!!very fresh ingredients and a perfect blend of sweet and savory flavors. My partner had the Thai peanut stir fry with salmon. It was a good sized piece of tender salmon. The overall dish was perfectly seasoned. Should we find ourselves back in Montrose, we will make it a must stop. read more

They have very fine food here. They've also made to go birthday cakes for me of extraordinary flavor! Good service, good food, good ambience. I am happy to recommend it. read more

Great food. The service was really slow. Not sure if they were understaffed that day or what. Had to wait 20 minutes for a table at lunch time though there were plenty tables available. So probably understaffed as many places are. Regardless, the food was excellent. I would go back, just would make sure I'm not in a hurry. read more

Good food, good service, but waaaaay over priced. 2 beers, an appetizer and entree w/salad... $70!

Love their Asian bbq salad. Great enchiladas. Margaritas are pretty darn good as well. Good service too.

Gluten free and vegan options and they label your food adorably! The tamale was soooooo good and the cake was heavenly. Some people said the portions were small--I found them perfect. Some people said overpriced, but gluten-free and vegan options were creative and delicious so value for product was so there! read more

We helped our friend celebrate his 75th birthday & couldn't have picked a better place! The food was awesome!!! We had the Chile Rellenos, blue corn enchiladas, steak salad and steak and potatoes. It was all excellent! For dessert we shared crème brûlée that had chocolate on the bottom and the brownie sundae, yummm! The service was awesome, our waitress went above & beyond! We sat out on the patio, as our friends brought their dog, who was very comfortable there & she made sure the dog had plenty of water. Thank you for a wonderful night to remember!!! read more

crab cake sandwich for lunch. delicious! server was very pleasant! was a bit busy with about a 15 min wait. no worries. worth the wait. will return! read more

Ate lunch there today. Food was just ok. Ordered hamburger--medium with a little red in the middle. They got it close enough on the SECOND try. House made potato chips? Very spicy--burned my tongue spicy (this was not noted on menu). 2nd try on chips was better. I always ask for lime with my iced tea, waitress brought it to me in her hands!!!!! Is this something that is ok in Montrose???? Used to think this was #2 restaurant in Montrose, but if you consider their mediocre offerings and assumption that you like spicy everything, AND it's ok for waitstaff to handle your food, I am not sure I will return!! read more

We are on a road trip and wanted a healthy dinner. Well Camp Robber was fabulou. I enjoyed the roasted corn enchiladas with green sauce my husband had salad and Crab cakes. What made the dinner was the wonderful service provided by Deanna. Deanna offer great recommendations and service. A real hero with all of the shortages in staffing Deanna was excellent and we observe all teammates worki real hard. Staff did a real detailed job in cleaning tables during reset. We are thinking of returning back. All food and deserts are prepared fresh. Thank you Deanna read more

Best quality South Western and authentically New Mexican dishes in the area! Lovely atmosphere and friendly service every time!

I liked this place. Never heard of them but I tried them and they did well. Good steak, made as ordered. The drinks were good and the staff was friendly and attentive. I ordered the lemon cake for desert but took it home so can't say much about it yet. If you're in Montrose, give them a try! read more

Had a wonderful meal and loved all our dishes. The New Mexican food was great and my husband loved the fried chicken. Our server Deana was amazing and did such a great job on a very busy night! Thanks to everyone here for a great night out on vacation. read more

Food is very good. Menu is somewhat limited. Service is always good. Lunch specials are always good as well

Amazing service! Delicious food! I appreciate that they offer you a little of both if you are like me and can't decide between red and green salsa, or how they can give you a little if each side if you don't have a strong preference. It's elegant and casual at the same time which is hard to pull off. Chili relleno was the best I have had in som read more

Camp Robber - View of the side bar and wine selections - New American Near Me - Montrose, Colorado

I hate to be a wet blanket among all these positive reviews, but Camp Robber easily ranked as the most mediocre dining experience we had in eight days of travelling around Colorado. Luckily, it was one of the first meals of the trip, which ended up featuring a lot of good eating. Camp Robber is one of those restaurants that tries to tackle too extensive a menu--a variety of bar-food apps, big salads, pasta dishes, New Mexican, sandwiches and burgers, grilled meat and fish dishes--and probably does only a couple of things well. Unfortunately, those were not the things we tried. I had a smoked-brisket enchilada plate with both red and green chile sauce. It sounded great on paper, i.e.,the menu. But it was pretty horrible on the plate: rather tough blue corn tortillas, and the chile sauce was barely detectable. Worst of all, the brisket itself was a disaster, tough Steakums-like texture and barely identifiable as beef, let alone did it have any smoky flavor. Maybe it's only my own ignorance of New Mexico cuisine (or maybe the proprietors'), but "cheesey posole" was a disappointment as a side. I was expecting a succulent, meaty stew, but this was just hominy covered in a peppery melted cheese. Certainly edible, but quite simplistic. The wife ordered a trout special that was competently cooked, but little more. It was basically a banquet-quality entree. The decor and lighting seem a little clunky. The service was competent. No disrespect meant to the Good Citizens of Montrose, including those who own and work at this restaurant. We just didn't enjoy our food very much. read more

I was working in Montrose for an entire week and found a few decent restaurants in this small valley with a population of ~25,000. I was in the mood for a decent filet mignon and Camp Robber was recommended by one of the locals working at the hotel I was staying, so I decided to check it out. I believe it was a Wednesday night, and the place was not too terribly busy. The hostess sat me immediately and the waitress was very friendly and prompt. The menu seemed to have many Mexican-American inspired dishes, but I opted for a cup of their house green chile chicken soup for an appetizer and the bacon-wrapped filet mignon with rosemary glaze dinner with vegetables (asparagus and pea pods) and changed the standard baked potato to their ginger rice, because it sounded like it would be very tasty. The soup was delicious, as I found myself finishing it in what seemed to be less than a minute. I cleansed my palette between each spoonful with gulps of New Belgium's Fat Tire Ale. It had just the right amount of heat, the chicken was moist, and it was garnished with a dollop of sour cream and a couple tortilla chips. Anything with sour cream gets praise from this big fella! I ordered the only Pinot Noir on their wine list to accompany my filet and was pleasantly surprised with it. My steak was cooked to perfection (medium rare) and was covered in a rosemary glaze. The glaze was OK, but I am not sure if the steak would be better with or without it. The vegetables were well seasoned and tasted great together with a bite of the meat. The rice was OK, but I just didn't taste the ginger at all which disappointed me. Regardless, if I were to be stuck in Montrose for another week I would most likely return to Camp Robber for another meal. read more

Food was great, fresh, interesting. Summer lunch atmosphere was cool and quiet inside. Prices were pretty high. I didn't see anything saying they pay staff well with it, but I very much hope they do. read more

This was such an unexpected treat. While passing through town we stopped for lunch and enjoyed every bite of our order. The nachos are delicious, outstanding pistachio crusted chicken salad, even the kids menu chicken tenders were the best we've ever had. They currently have a sign posted apologizing for being short staffed and the potentially longer wait time, but we were seated much faster than they initially warned and the service was excellent in every way. Highly recommend! read more

We love the Camp Robber and eat there often. My husband especially likes the quesadillas and I love the salads and chicken. The service is always fantastic and the servers are so helpful and friendly. My only complaint is that the margaritas are really small. We are not drinkers and usually order the iced tea which is always good. However, once in awhile I like a wine or a margarita. Camp Robber is our favorite "go too" place for a casual lunch/dinner. read more

This is the first place in Colorado that I've been to and have truly enjoyed! I am from Santa Fe and very picky about my New Mexican food and this was spot on! Absolutely loved it. My son had the chili rellenos and they were amazing too, seems like that is the most popular thing people oder. read more

Camp Robber - Blue Corn Shredded Beef Enchiladas with red chili. - New American Near Me - Montrose, Colorado

Honestly this place is pretty cutesy. The servers are dressed up like they are at a Hawaiian luau and they encourage diners to dress up as well by giving them a free cocktail if they come dressed up. The food is regular restaurant fair. Salads, sandwiches, seafood, Mexican food, and house made desserts. I got the crab cakes to start. Very deep fried. The crab on the inside was actually a dark brown from the oil. Still tasty cause...what is deep fried and DOESN'T taste good. I got the ahi tuna salad for my entree. I really wished they had spring mix or spinach for an option for their salads. The tuna was a good sized portion but it was extremely rare in the middle. I like it that way but others might not so just a warning. Both things tasted MEH....honestly probaby on par with Applebees or some other restaurant chain...nothing special. That is, nothing special until I had their dessert. Best dessert ever. I had the fudgey banana chocolate cake. The chocolate ganache was rich and had a deep chocolate flavor. The banana filler between the layers of the cake was almost pudding like! The cake was moist and the banana sauce that was drizzled over it was creamy and added another sweetness factor to the whole thing. If you do NOT like sugary stuff, skip this..but for my chocolate and dessert loving heart, it was perfect. My advice is to skip the meal and just order dessert to go here. read more

When was the last time you witnessed someone scrubbing and sanitizing a table after the previous party left??? As we dined, I watched every table get thoroughly cleaned and sanitized as people left at this place. Fantastic food, service, and selection. Thai peanut chicken wrap, buffalo burger, fish n chips were all really enjoyed by my family. read more

Fabulous little gluten-free and farm-to-table joint in Montrose, CO. We were visiting from LA and were advised when seated to try the house made chicken potato green chili soup, which we did and it was amazing. We split a bowl of it and split a burger and the server didn't get uptight with our splitting requests nor did she charge us to do so. Excellent wine list and 5 stars all around! read more

Dinner tonight...it's always so nice to be greeted with a smile that won't quit....very welcoming and two for two on being greeted this way. The great thing about Camp Robber is the vast menu...something for everyone. Tonight we dined on the Orange Ancho Salmon, which was was perfectly prepared. Love that slightly crispy roast from the oven and juicy tender inside. With fresh lemon and orange it was simply delicious with garlic mashed potatoes and fresh green and yellow beans, still with a bit of a crunch even after the sauté. My companion had the famous pistachio chicken salad...I had it for lunch earlier in the week....she seemed to enjoys her selection as her plate was pretty much clean. A couple glasses of Kendall Jackson Chardonnay and the evening was complete. Heading back to L.A. tomorrow...and will miss Montrose and its cute hometown feel. read more

Camp Robber - Daily specials board. - New American Near Me - Montrose, Colorado

Overpriced, as in $15.67 for soup & salad. TERRIBLE DESSERTS! I tried the key lime pie, which was NOT key lime pie and should NOT be called key lime pie, which is a traditional dessert. They serve it frozen, and if you let it get to room temperature, it completely separates and collapses into the whipped sugar that it is. I was most unhappy with this, so I tried the creme brûlée, which they served scaldingly hot and which burned my mouth. Creme brûlée is supposed to be served as a cool custard with the cartelized sugar on top warmed. When I complained about these overpriced desserts ($8.25), they said, "That's how we serve it!" They know NOTHING ab out desserts and should not be allowed to call them by their traditional names!!! This is consistent with their otherwise crappy overpriced food. read more
