| - Red Robin is my absolute FAVORITE place to go if I don't want to spend too much, but don't want to eat fast food. I'm going to compare Red Robin's Big Tavern burgers (regular sized burger)/Double Tavern burgers (two kid patties instead of one normal patty) to McDonald's meals to show that Red Robin is actually cheaper. On average, the BT burgers are priced at $8.99 while the DT burgers are priced at $6.99. Now this is including unlimited fries and unlimited normal sauce (as in not the special ones so ketchup or ranch, etc.). A McDonald's Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese meal is $7.43, but that's not including sauce because they charge for sauce now. So if you were to dine at Red Robin, you'd not only get a delicious burger, but also great service, unlimited sauce, and unlimited fries for $8.99/$6.99. If you were to eat at McDonald's, you'd get no service, an okay burger, limited amount of fries, and you'd have to pay for sauce every single time. So Red Robin is actually cheaper especially if you eat a lot of fries or like to have a lot of sauce. They added a new burger to the Tavern menu and it's basically a baked potato burger (includes bacon, fries, chive sour cream sauce, etc. all in the burger) and it's definitely my new favorite. You can't beat the flavor and the price. Seriously I'm amazed at how cheap the burger is for how great it tastes. Now as for the restaurant itself, it's clean and comfortable. The host always greets, the servers are attentive, and everyone is nice, but it's the nice as in they have to because it's their job. It's not genuine. Basically the staff is like any other normal place, but they weren't amazing enough to leave an impression until my boyfriend and I had Britni as our server. She was the only one who ever left an impression on us out of all the times we've dined at this location. She did such a phenomenal job and was really on it even though they were short staffed. We came Tuesday morning after the NAB convention and got seated. It took her a while to get to us, but she did stop by saying that she'll be right with us as soon as possible because they're short staffed. That was one of the good things she did because she communicated with us. She did look like she was very busy due to being short staffed, but she NEVER once forgot to check up on us, give us more fresh fries, fill up our drinks so many times without us even asking, and she was actually genuinely kind! You can definitely hear it in her voice and see it in her facial expressions that she was being kind like you were one of her friends. There's a clear difference between someone who is just being nice and someone who is genuinely wanting to know how you're doing or how your meal was and you can see this in Britni. I'll obviously come back as I have before so many times, but this time I'll be asking for Britni more often! Highly recommend requesting her as your server!
