Just curious. Seen the commercials and thought about going. Is it worth the trip?

Good specialty burgers, bottomless steak fries, and Guinness on draft. Pretty good especially for a burger joint.

It's not amazing, but they have some pretty good burgers. Worth going if you haven't gone before -- some people like it more than others.

Maybe you'll have better luck in Houston, but I've tried two Red Robins up here and have decided I won't be trying a third. In summary, interesting concept, mediocre execution.

It's good enough to be a chain, but nothing exceptional. They do have a better burger selection than, say, Chili's, but there are far better local selections.

I wasn't too impressed with them. As far as large chains, I think Fuddruckers is better.

(We've recently tried Smash Burger and Five Guys in the past couple of weeks. Smash Burger beat all three (four, including Fuddruckers) hands down. Their rosemary fries are soooo good. I thought the Five Guy's hamburger was tasteless and their cajun fries were basically drowned in seasoning, and soggy. We won't be back.)

Red Robin is pretty good for it's specialty burgers, but it's really isn't anything special. Five Guys is great, but I'm trying to stay away from them. It takes a good amount of cardio to regain my form. Smash Burger is good also. They give you a few different choices for what to put on your burger. I mainly go there for there Rosemary Fries!

Red Robin is okay. The bottomless steak fries are always a plus

Generic chain restaurant serving generic chain restaurant food. Pass it; there are too many good eateries in town.
