There are some 3 star reviews that I write that are giving the benefit of the doubt to a place where I had pretty high expectations but that didn't measure up in some way. This 3 star review is more of the, don't expect much from a chain place like this but consistently walk away pleasantly surprised.
When I come here, it's usually around lunchtime on a weekday and I find myself constantly amazed that they stay open because it's rarely very busy. They must do a brisk dinner business to keep up. I find their burgers to be thick, juicy with a good beefy flavor and consistently cooked to the temp I ask for. I also like the fat steak fries that come with the burgers but never have taken them up on a free refill.
All in all, I can name a number of burger places I would choose over Red Robin but, RR is a solid A-OK for me when I'm in the area.
