Red Robin

I love Red Robin. It takes me back to childhood. I’ve never gotten sick at a RR. When I asked for a GF bun the server asked if it was an allergy and noted it for the kitchen. She clearly took my restrictions very seriously and I felt safe eating here. I did not have any negative reaction.

We didn’t used to like their gf buns but after a few years we recently tried again and they have gotten much better. I know they’re a chain and can vary depending on location but the north Austin restaurant has been good. We’ve ordered twice now and didn’t get any flare ups after eating. Was actually quite impressed. Now the price has gone way up. $20 for a gf burger and side but when you don’t want to cook it’s worth it.

They used to be really great about cross-contamination, but seem to have gotten lax in recent years. I got horribly glutened tonight.

Celiac friendly?

No

Read their website on sources of their food. says they cannot guarantee if their suppliers change their ingredients without notice. Not reliable for celiacs.

Celiac friendly?

No

Their GF buns are pretty tasty, and I'm a big fan of the lettuce wrap offering they have.

However, after having many conversations with the staff and several managers, I'm pretty much confirmed that the seasoning salt that they use on the fries if you don't ask them to be plain and the hamburger unless you specifically ask them not to (which contains gluten) is often added to the meat itself before they prepare the hamburgers.

Just a process thing, and there is no way to remove it. Therefore, Red Robin is not celiac friendly, and is a risky place to eat if you are trying to avoid contamination as much as possible.

But, if you can tolerate small amounts, they have a variety of yummy burgers.

Celiac friendly?

No

Great lunch option and most burgers available gluten free. b

Clueless waitstaff and unpleasant managers who don't want to be bothered by someone who has gluten issues. I was advised by the manager to not eat there at all.

Gluten free buns!!

Only got fries but they were good with no noticeable gluten reaction and server was very nice. They announced gf fries with pick and bottomless so again with new basket.

Amazing. They have gluten free buns and pizza and fries. Everything gluten free comes out with a purple marker. I love it

I went with my family last night and they took us being gluten-free seriously. (I do it mostly for my dad who cannot eat gluten or he will get sick.)

They serve gluten-free buns and lettuce wraps, in addition to other gluten free items.

None of us feel sick or bad from it, which is great! I'm sure we'll be eating there again. Although, we don't typically eat out unless it's for a party (which it was).

Absolutely amazing! I have been coming quite often. I just let my waitress know about my gluten allergy, and I have never had any problems. I usually get french fries (they have a separate gluten free fryer) and a chicken Caesar salad. Thank you Red Robin staff :)
