We've been to Red Robin a handful of times and it just gets worse every time. For whatever reason, they remodeled the whole restaurant and took down all the cool movie posters they had on the walls. Even though there's less there, it feels more cluttered now. The tables are so close to each other that your basically sitting inches from the people next to you.
Usually, the food isn't horrible. I've always had a soft spot for their steak fries. When they're done right, they are so good and you can't beat the perk of "bottomless" fries. This time around I went with a new burger on the menu, the smoke and pepper burger. I don't know what they did but it was terrible. The first bite I took, I felt like I literally just ate a spoonful of salt. It wasn't very hot either and the bottom bun was soggy so I think it was sitting for a while.
We usually only come here when we have a group and no one can decide what to eat. It's been a while since we've been there so I can't be sure but I believe they raised their prices too. My burger was $14!!! Their service is always hit or miss too so hopefully it's a while before I get suckered into coming back!
