Thank you for warning me. I got a coupon in the mail for Red Robin and was thinking I haven't been there in ages. Guess I'll throw them in the trash where they belong.

Power move.

I went here with two friends to take advantage of their supposed bottomless fries but no matter how many people sit at the tablet they give you probably about 20 fries at a time and give you a hard time any time you want more. I enjoyed their interesting burgers though.

I only go there during my birthday month for the free gourmet burger

>8 fucking dollars for 3 chicken tenders
Richie fucking Rich couldn't afford this shit. How the fuck are they still in business?

>How the fuck are they still in business?
Because they're patronized by people with jobs and families.

They are extremely overpriced. Even a burger from gordon ramsey's joint is 17 dollars. Just go to a nice local burger joint and get one for 8-10

>all meals include an entree, bottomless side, bottomless beverage and an ice cream sundae
>waaaaah 7.99 is too expensive
pick one

The around $10 is the same as Red Robin’s, but red ribbons includes all you can eat steak fries. Their fry salt is really good, though I think it’s just salt, garlic powder, pepper, and msg. Everything else is just bleh, but they have booze. OP is just unreasonably upset that it cost more than McDonald’s.

This is the trick all these scummy restaurants use, if they offer endless/bottomless whatever, they give you a few bites at a time and make you bother the waitress (who isn't allowed to bring you more than that) for each subsequent serving so you end up not actually getting that many

They used to be a lot better. I remember when Red Robin first opened near me they would just have people carry around trays of fry baskets and ask people if they wanted more fries, even giving multiple per table if they wanted. You never had to ask, you just had to wait for the fry guy to show up every few minutes. Then a few years ago they revamped the restaurant to seem more "classy" or some shit and reduced all the portions. Used to be that they'd put your burger in a basket and overflow the other side with fries, then each refill would be a full basket of fries. Now they just give you this stupid little tin cup with like 5 fries in it and each fry refill is just a small handful. The bottomless fries used to mean something, now it's just a gimmick to make you overpay.

I've always liked red robin. Fight me

>>16828726
to me they're just another dennys

I used to like the peppercorn burger but haven't been there in ages.

Are they really squeezing that much money out of it? I would have gone back faithfully for actual bottomless fries.

>>16829341
It’s because they want to look fancy. They put everything in steel circles on rectangular plates, instead of in wax paper in the red plastic fry baskets. I miss the old half-trashy dinar decor.

>>16829228
maybe it had to do with people getting fries and never finishing them? maybe they were throwing out too much and were losing money? on one hand i understand why they might downgrade their serving sizes, but on the other it could very well be used as a bait to reel in customers to their restaurant.

>>16829117
Oh yeah, I suppose stupid people also have jobs and families. Forgot about that.

>kids menu
>implying a child could take any meaningful advantage of any of that
Yes, waaaah indeed.

It's not great, but I always liked being able to get a burger and bottomless fries for $6 at a sit down restaurant

When I was a kid I'd eat all my food and have several refills of pop and still be hungry for dessert. You can bet if we had Red Robin back then I'd be scarfing down those bottomless fries like nobody's business. Kids can put away a shitload of food because they're growing and usually physically active and really need all the extra protein and calories.

>I didn't tip and instead squirted ketchup all over the table and left. I'm not allowed to go back there and couldn't be happier.
devilishly based

Red Robin was amazing right up until the republican/bush economic crash during the mid 2000s

>>16828726
Ive been seeing their commercials on TV for like 15 years without even having one in my state. Now we got one in my city and I remember looking at an article about the fast food products with the highest transfats and they had like 7 of the 15 items on the list. Fuck them

>>16829269
I realized I liked it more than I thought but they are way too inconsistent when it comes to delivery.

>>16828726

Audibly kekd.

>>16829115
Cuck-a-doodles more like it.

Maybe Parker is just a shithole town and it's your fault for living there?

I miss the 5 alarm burger. The burnin love just isn't the same.
