Red Robin Gourmet Burgers and Brews

Philip Ward

Back in the 40’s, a local watering hole in Seattle, Washington changed it’s name from Sam’s Tavern to Sam’s Red Robin. This was based on a song of that era that the owner sang in a quartet. Fast forward to 1969 where new owners dropped Sam’s from the name but continued the tradition of never seen, never tasted before burgers. Now, the ever growing, ever popular burger and bar chain offers a plethora of gourmet burgers, tavern burgers, finest burgers, soups, salads, sandwiches, appetizers, desserts and a selective offering of entrees. On the adult beverage side one can partake of wine, cold drafts and craft cocktails. My Pig Out Tavern Double burger was a feast to both my eyes and my appetite with two grilled, brown-sugar-glazed patties, melted American cheese, strips of hardwood-smoked bacon, fresh lettuce and tomato, bacon crumbles and mayo on sesame seed buns. Throw in one of the bottomless sides, steak fries for me, and we are good to go. Burgers are juicy, flavorful with plenty of toppings. Service was friendly and efficient, bringing our drinks right away and our burgers soon followed. Inside is a lively mix of colorful decor and comfortable booths. Pay at the Table was quick and easy.

Honestly one of my favorite burger places! Food and service is always amazing. Was kind of disappointed they no longer have zucchini fries as they were my favorite, but the sweet potato fries were just as good. I got the banzai burger (which was absolutely amazing) and my husband got the bacon cheeseburger! We also got the new cheese fondue to go with our fries which was yummy also!

Magnificent! One of the few restaurants where the food actually looks like the pictures on the menu! Even though it was slightly crowded the service was still above average. The food was excellent and appealing both physically and tastefully. I strongly recommend.

Love the Bleu burger and tasty bun. Burger was done exactly as requested.. Would recommend the potatoes fries over the zucchini fries, a bit greasy, overwhelming heavy breading with mushy interior. Wait staff was great; we had three servers. Food came out quick. Pricing pushes this out of our every day burger category, with tip was $50 for two, one beverage, upcharge for onion rings in lieu of fries, and the $7 dessert and tip. Table credit machine defaults to 20% tip which can be adjusted--just an FYI. Our dessert mile-high mud pie was frozen solid and rolled off the plate, so not sure if it was an ice cream cake or more of a mousse. Did taste good as it thawed. Recommend they offer the video games on their table credit machine for free. They are $1.99.
