| - Eh, it's a chain restaurant like all the rest. Red Robin is kind of like the bastard stepchild of TGI Friday's and Applebee's. As it sits along a stretch of road here populated by almost every chain restaurant known to man it is kind of unassuming and almost invisible. Still, after dropping in here the other day for a quick dinner it is definitely worth a second look.
Yeah, it has all the standard retro pictures, movie/sports posters, and goofy memorabilia hanging on the walls that is the basis of their cheeseball decor. Also has the over cheery waitstaff that you really want to strangle and just wish they would shut up and take your order. The menu has a lot of burger choices along with many other entrees and appetizers to choose from. One thing I noticed right away -
Bottomless fries and root beer floats. Yes, BOTTOMLESS! OMG - that is totally evil. Must. Resist. Must.
Not in a burger mood tonight as I was craving some chicken. Went with the Ensenada Chicken Platter. Two boneless chicken breasts rubbed with a chili seasoning and served with a side of salsa and two dipping sauces - salsa & creamy lime sauce. Also comes with a salad with tortilla strips in it. Honestly, this was pretty tasty. The chicken was cooked just right and the chili rub tasted good, the salad was fresh, and the sauces were decent.
Not a bad spot to have a meal as far as chain restaurants go. Attentive wait staff, clean space, and decent tasting food. It's OK by me!
