| - I tend to avoid chains and I don't eat burgers and fries very often, so this place isn't really catering to me, anyhow... but for what it was, I didn't love it and I didn't hate it.
Here's what I didn't love:
I thought that the fries were supposed to be bottomless, but the server did not replenish them.
The restaurant is really loud.
For what I had -- burger, fries, and a soda -- I ended up leaving $20 for my portion of the meal. That's too expensive for what I had. I don't want to pay that much for a meal like that unless I'm at a theme park or somewhere else with more of a geographic monopoly... or unless it's like the best burger and fries of all time, which it wasn't.
Here's what I did like:
Even though the restaurant was crowded, we were seated quickly (party of 4).
The two teenagers who were in our party wanted to share a milkshake and the server brought it already split into two for them, which was nice.
My burger (guacamole bacon) was cooked the way I asked (medium rare -- sometimes places like this overcook even when I ask for medium rare) and tasted pretty good. It wasn't my favorite burger, but it was fine.
I upgraded to sweet potato fries, and I liked them!
Anyhow, it's Red Robin. It's a chain. You know what it's going to be before you go, probably. We went because the teenagers in our party wanted to go. It wasn't my choice, but I thought I would share. There is a Red Robin really n ear my house in Delaware, and I never go and likely won't go. No judgment if you like it... it's just not my thing!
