Red Robin use to have really good food for a chain restaurant. They went way down hill during covid and never seemed to recover. Or maybe they just think they can get away with it now.

I took my dad out to Red Robin a couple of weekends ago for his birthday. He had a burger and I had a crispy chicken salad and it was pretty good. Shared onion rings were nice, too. I hadn’t been there in ages but no regrets about that meal.

I've been to a few in the last couple years and always had really good food and service.

Depends on the restaurant. Terrible service at one of mine, and food subpar at the other location. I no joke was asked not to order drinks by the host because the bartender was overwhelmed. When I sat down nobody came to me and was there for 20 minutes. I haven’t been back since.

Oh yikes. Don’t blame you for staying away.

I do miss it though. Their burgers are solid.
