Reviews for Protagonist Kitchen and Bar in Richfield, MN
I would recommend you try it! It is in a shopping center, office building ... Very ...VERY cosy! The decor is nice, the people I... interacted with were super nice... It's just a great experience! The chicken wild rice soup is amazing! The salad I was not socrazy about... But the dessert (the Phoenix) was phenomenal! This place is underrated! Definitely stop by !!! Read more
First time eating there... My husband had the BLAT and just loved the depth of flavor offered by the pork belly on the sandwich!... I had the truffle mac 'n cheese...wow...just wow! The creaminess of the sauce with the subtle truffle flavor was amazing. I amnot one to order the same thing twice, but I would go back for this! I can't forget the beet salad. I really liked thecombination of oranges with the beets. All in all a great experience. We will definitely go back! Read more
I’m embarrassed to say that it took us this long to drive five minutes down the road to check this place out. The food was... amazing and the staff was welcoming, kind, and attentive. I had the shrimp & grits (this is definitely going to be somethingI’m craving regularly this fall & winter) and my husband had the turkey burger. We don’t eat beef so have tried a LOT ofturkey burgers in the Twin Cities. This one will def be a new favorite. The shrimp was cooked perfectly and the grits hadawesome flavor. We also shared the beet salad. I would order all of these again! We’ll be back soon!! Read more
For those of you missing Lyn65 and their Chicago diner burger, the smash burger at Protagonist is as good if not better! I very... rarely eat red meat and I stole half of my hubby’s burger! We also got the fried chicken sandwich (hot style) and the newcookie crumble raspberry dessert; both were delicious. Service was top notch and the beer/wine/cocktails selection was on point.Yes, the menu is smaller, but that is most definitely a good thing. Small menus typically equal outstanding execution. And thefact that it’s walking distance from our house is icing on the cake! We love having a delicious local spot to support. Welldone, Protagonist! Read more
Cocktails were good, I really liked my SpongeBob. Started with the brussel sprouts, they were very good, nice and crisp with a... good texture. I ordered the chicken sandwich, it was fantastic! The breading was so good, crisp and flavorful. The bun was a bitsweet and held together wonderfully. The coleslaw had just a hint of sour which complemented everything perfectly. Honestly thiswas one of the best fried chicken sandwiches I've had. Read more
Really enjoyed Protagonist! I highly recommend the smash burger. It was juicey, the cheese was melted perfectly and it just... melted in my mouth. One of the best burgers around! Their cocktail menu was decent as well. Their take on an old fashioned -the Eastwood - was good. Also had the Buffalo wings as an app. They were smoked which brought out a unique flavor and the meatjust fell off the bone. It was a delicious homemade Buffalo sauce too, had a great taste. Service was friendly and priced rightas well. I will definitely go back! Read more
Contemporary restaurant with a unique menu, fresh ingredients and an atmosphere that is perfect for a lunch with a friend or an... intimate dinner with a loved one. Don't let the location fool you, this has been completely renovated and it's a gem. Youdon't have to go into the cities now for a really special, high quality dining experience (without the urban prices too) Read more
Came in last night for the Halloween dance party put on by my friend Gina! We had dinner beforehand, I had The pub burger and it... did not disappoint! One of the best burgers I’ve had, hands down. And the cocktails are fun and great, the entire staff wasfriendly and attentive. I wish We had this place in the western burbs like excelsior or Chanhassen, such a fun place to spendtime in. I’ll definitely be back! Read more
