*Red Robin! Yum.*
It’s been a really long time since I’ve eaten at Red Robin. It’s not exactly far away, but it’s not a place I pass by often either. My dad invited Nikki & I to dinner & told us to pick a place. We’d been talking about going to Red Robin since we knew they had gluten-free buns and fries. They are also one of AllergyEats 2017 Top 10 Allergy-Friendly Restaurant Chains. There are 538 locations throughout the U.S.

Our server was very nice and attentive. She brought Nikki a tablet with their interactive menu, Allergen Customizer, and got answers for Nikki’s questions. The interactive menu is easy to navigate and helpful. You can check which ingredients you wish to avoid. From there, the user can select appetizers, entrees, sides, and desserts.
The fries are cooked in separate fryers, but in vegetable oil. The fries *are* gluten-free, but are *not* soy-free. Which is a bummer because they have Bottomless Fries. *insert sad face emjoji*
After considering a lettuce wrap, Nikki chose the Red’s Tavern Double Burger. Her order removed cheese, tomatoes, & Red Robin Special Sauce. She also opted for a salad (or more accurately lettuce and cucumbers) with Italian dressing. Nikki approves of the bun, saying it was really good and it tastes like a normal bun.
I also got the Red’s Tavern Double Burger with cheese & ketchup. Our dad also got the Red’s Tavern Double Burger with everything on it. He also got the Bottomless Root Beer Floats. He let me try it & it was really good! It’s only $4.49 too.

Here is the aforementioned Root Beer Float.
Though I also had the Red’s Tavern Double Burger, mine came with Bottomless Fries. They’re really good and should be cooked in canola oil so those that are also soy-free can enjoy them too.

It’s great that you can select your dietary allergies on the tablet and then you will see what your choices are. It’s so much easier than doing it manually by consulting the menu. The burger looks very yummy!
Their digital menu is so easy to navigate and it’s really helpful to be able to exclude the ingredients you don’t want.
I have never been to a Red Robin – I have seen it around though. Glad you were able to find something per your food requirements.

It’s always good to find new places that meet food requirements.
Great items to choose from! I’m a vegetarian and try not to eat fried foods but I can’t resist a good french fry!
I’m right there with you on the fries, Kelly!
So glad places are trying to incorporate gluten free more and more!
It’s so helpful when more restaurants offer options for diners with different diets.
I love Red Robin! And I’m glad they have options for those with dietary restrictions. They have amazing root beer floats. It’s where I got the idea to make Not Your Fathers Root Beer floats at home.
I think it’ll become one of our favorites too. That sounds so yummy!
We don’t have a Red Robin here in the UK but a very well written post and its made me hungry!
Thank you, Mel! I can’t tell you how often I get when writing these blog posts! lol
Thanks for this guide. Gotta say, i adore the blog name!
Thank you, Dede! 🙂
i love burges and fries are my favorite !!! that looks so delicious.
Sometimes, nothing beats a good burger and fries! 🙂
I have never eaten at Red Robin before but I have heard great things about them! I really like that they offer allergy sensitive foods.
They have really good food! It’s great that they offer so many options for people with dietary restrictions.
Oh dear, I always feel so sorry for Nikki. It doesn’t seem fair somehow to have to watch what you eat all the time. Good thing there’s places like Red Robin though that try and make it easier. Pity about the chips, because they look scrumptious, maybe they’ll change the oil as you suggested so Nikki can enjoy some too.
I feel bad sometimes that I’m able to enjoy foods that she can. She was sad she couldn’t indulge in bottomless fries. She said to tell you that she appreciates the sympathy and that it’s hard to always eat like she’s supposed to. She knows the consequences aren’t usually worth it!
I’ve never been in Red Robin. It’s really looks delicious and looks fantastic!
It’s really yummy & definitely a place we’ll frequent more often.
It is great to see places very careful and attentive offering alternatives to the ones with allergies. Where I live is still not so common and going out to eat for it is a nightmare. Lucky you! BTW that burger looks amazing!
It’s great to have more and more options so you have some diversity in places to eat. That must be very frustrating! Their burgers are so good!
LOL I am SO hungry now! This looks delicious!
I’m getting hungry just thinking about it! haha
This glutton free burger looks so tempting. Never tried this. Feel like doing so right now.
Their food is really good!
Oh this place looks fantastic, I wish we had some of the places you are reviewing. Its so nice to see a way to just ignore all the ingredients you DON’T want instead of having to go through everything to see if it doesn’t have it – thats straight forward thinking!
It’s SO helpful to have a menu that excludes certain ingredients! It would be great if other restaurants could adopt similar menus. 🙂
IT’s fantastic that more restaurants are growing/ showing more concern for their patrons. I’ve eat at red robin plenty of times and have noticed this n thiere menu and the attentive behavior they have to make sure they get the order correct for each person.
It really is fantastic that more restaurants have more options. It can be limiting to only have a few places to eat at, besides they’re missing out on so many potential customers. Red Robin is really wonderful. Other establishments should take note!
This is so helpful! A lot times you need to stay away from certain things but don’t have time to do the research.
I’m glad to hear that, Kimberly! Research on where to eat can be very time consuming, so I hope posts like these can be helpful to others. 🙂
Everything looks so tasty in here, I’m starving now! 😀
I will try these if I ever go to Robin!
Ana, I always get hungry writing blogs like these! lol
Interesting post to read as someone who does not have many restrictions, but can be picky. I am also checking out your cracker barrel post. Good to see you found some yummy options.
I can be quite the picky eater myself, Jillian! Cracker Barrel has some good options too!
Very helpful post! Thanks for putting in all the research! I may not have dietary restrictions myself, but I enjoyed reading. Might come in handy someday!
Thanks, Marie! I’m glad that you enjoyed reading it. 🙂
I don’t think there is a Red Robin in the UK but it was interesting to see what options they have.
Ellie, I believe they only have locations in the US. They have really good food!
The restaurants you’ve reviewed should totally put your article on their sites or in their shop! Because it will be so relevant for visiting customers! I haven’t been to Red Robin, but loved how dedicated your article is!
Thank you, Tiffany! A friend of mine actually suggested reaching out to the PR companies or managers of specific locations with a link to my blog posts about them. Maybe I should! 🙂
This sounds so complicated, gluten free, soy free and dairy free, Thank god I dont have such restrictions. Great tips for those who would want to order these
It can be very complicated, but it gets manageable for my sister. That’s one of the ways I hope this blog can help others with dietary restrictions.
Red Robin is one of my favorite restaurants! I love that Red Robin has gluten free options!
I think it’s going to be one of our new favorites!
Never heard of Red Robin, but I definitely know what it’s like to be sensitive to certain ingredients. The struggle to find something that won’t make you feel regretful afterwards is terrible.
Flora, it can be so difficult to find places even locally to eat. It’s always great to find a place that offers so many options.
Ooh, this is making me hungry! Have never been to a Red Robin but always see their commercials. Good to know they have many options.
Agnes, I always get hungry when writing restaurant posts!
Thanks for making it easier for those who are gluten free to be able to order out! I used to go to Red Robin all the time!
I really hope it helps people have one more place to go that will hopefully suit their dietary needs. We’re definitely going to try to eat their more often.
You are speaking my language. I feel like I can’t eat anything anywhere, but this is so helpful! Thank you!
I’m so glad to hear that, Thena!
