really good food for a chain. Used to go to the one in Tulsa when we lived there and I've been to a few others while traveling, all were equally good. Wouldn't mind having one around here, especially since I see ads for them here.

So is it basically like a Chili's level place?

Pretty similar in terms of price and quality. Mainly just burgers, chicken sandwiches, and salads at Red Robin though. But I'd say their burgers are a bit better than Chili's though, and 5 guys for that matter. Fries are much better. Not going to be the best burger you've ever had, but very solid.

I got a french dip sandwich from one when I went up to Seattle in '09. It was pretty good.

If you are into $10 hamburgers that aren't as good as home made hamburgers, Red Robin is the place for you.

At least it took the end of the second page for the silliness to arrive.

I can also make a better steak at home than almost any steakhouse. And why spend $8 on a martini, $6 on a Sweetwater 420, or $9 on a glass of Cab?

I can make a better brisket sandwich than Arby's too, but if I am in the mood, I might grab one.

edited to not sound like a dick.

Nice strawman, bro.

He never said that. Just that it was the ultimate BBQ brisket. Get it right.

I stand corrected!

as an aside, it is "straw man" and TD is the ultimate hyperbole and straw man experience.

They're pretty good. If ya'll remember, when the Mall of LA opened we had a Red Robin in it. Didn't last very long though.

I'm working on trying to be less hyperbolic and straw eating, but it's hard.

Also working on being less sarcastic and "jerky" too. Work in progress.

Stopped at one near Montgomery and some place in Virginia, not a thrill, but edible.

Never been to one. They don't have any in Louisiana but always see the commercials. Passed by a couple while I was in Texas, will probably stop and try it out next time.
