| - Basis for my starred ratings (which skews heavily to the food or drink):
1 star: Never again.
2 stars: Poor food, poor experience, extraordinary measures in order for me to come back.
3 stars: Average, nothing really special, nothing particularly bad.
4 stars: Very good, would definitely return.
5 stars: A favorite, one of the best.
Came here for my wife's free birthday burger and to try their version of the ramen burger, the Red Ramen.
It's fine. The ramen bun is too hard and crunchy. It's not chewy and cooked through like other ramen burger buns. Makes it really tough to eat since you can't press it down and it cuts the roof of your mouth. The balance of ingredients in it was mediocre, in relation to the meat. With how bland the bun was and how much of the thing was actually ramen bun, they could have beefed up the flavors in the burger itself.
Also had the prime chophouse burger which has cheese, steak sauce, and fried onions in it. This was a pretty tasty burger. Much better balanced than the ramen burger here.
I get it. Red Robin can't compare to the best in the country, but like Yelp says for 3-star joints, it's A-OK. Bottomless steak fries. Lots of dipping sauces (like the bacon aioli, addictive but bad for you I'm sure.) Decent burger that they will leave a little pink. You come for value and time to hang out, not because it's the best burger out there.
