Red Robin is one of those places you go to as an adult to grab a beer and burger without thinking about it. We went over the weekend for our first Red Robin experience and was pleasantly surprised to see how crowded it was. I assumed that, based on the number of seats taken that it would be a great place to eat a burger. I also noticed that majority of the patrons were families with small children, so the whole beer and burger thing may be a tad of a stretch, at least for the crowd I saw.
We ordered the classic with cheese and some steak fries, a mint shake and one soda. The shake comes with the mixer container still half full, which was nice for the five dollar price tag, and was a fairly good shake. Standard, nothing mind blowing or amazing, but good. The burgers came out really fast, and I was happy with the short wait. They were wrapped in wax paper and came in baskets, which was nostalgic. To top it off, they were huge! I couldn't wrap my mouth around one, for some reason. Still, once I took the first bite I was satisfied but not pleased. I expected their burgers to somehow be different, more authentic or genuine in taste, but I didn't get that. Although a good burger, I could get the same one for less somewhere else. Overall, good burger and fries (especially since they are endless refills), but nothing that I'd go back for.
Great service, good burger and shakes, and fun little games in the lobby. Hey--those kids were ga ga over the burgers, so I guess they're doing something worth while. For me, personally, it was okay but I won't be back.
