| - I was in the Tempe Marketplace area with my girlfriend when we were trying to decide what to get for dinner. While neither of us craved anything in particular, we remembered learning how Red Robin is known for their bottomless fries. We figured tonight was the perfect night to test this out. And well...they sure were bottomless!
There was a bit of a wait for several parties ahead of us though we found a nice table near the bar area to avoid the wait. The service was good, and we decided to order a Whiskey River BBQ Chicken sandwich for me, and a Simply Grilled Chicken for my girlfriend. While we were certainly looking forward to chicken (we know...Red Robin is a burger place!), we were REALLY looking forward to the fries.
Initially, we were each given a very small serving of fries though as we went through them quickly, without our asking, our server brought us a basket of fries (which were later refilled once and upon being asked again if we wanted more, we finally decided we were finished with fries...for a long time!). The chicken sandwiches were fine but nothing too special. In fact, my Whiskey River BBQ Chicken had to be sent back as the onion strings and the BBQ sauce were both missing, but that was quickly remedied.
They also have a birthday club that sends out regular discounts during the year. Definitely tell them it's your birthday if you're celebrating, and in addition to the birthday burger, you may even get a sundae.
All in all, a nice experience, and we certainly have had our fill of fries to last a while.
