Review
The waitress seemed to know about gluten allergies and even said they had a dedicated frier. After we ordered though, the manager came out and said she was super confused and then tried to say something like none of their meat was gluten free. He has this weird instance that only the bun was but then when we showed him their allergy menu explicitly stating that the meat was OK for gluten allergies, he backpedlled and said everything was fine and he was confused about something else. The whole conversation was very bizzare and stressful. I think he meant well and there was not any cross contamination but clearly the people working that shift were really uncomfortable with handling food allergies.

My partner and I both got burger and fries. I’m a symptomatic celiac and didn’t have any response. I called in advance to check about the fries, and there is a dedicated fryer for gf fries. Amazing 10/10!

Red Robin has gluten-free buns for their burgers. Many locations also have dedicated fryers for gluten free-fries. Please verify with your server.

I have eaten here several times. I have celiac and am very sensitive to contamination. I let them know at the beginning. They wipe the space clean and make me a burger separately using clean gloves. I have not gotten sick even once and I eat there probably once every couple of months.

Review
Good burgers on an excellent gf bun. And fries! No reactions to food and I've rated here more than a few times. Be sure to tell them you have a true intolerance.
Review
The allergen menu was not a printed menu but was online. The service was ok. We had to wait a while to be seated. The food was good! My husband with celiac did not get sick.

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 :)

My family used to go to Red Robin. Pretty good about my very severe allergies to wheat, barley, cashew, and pistachio. I always got the plain chicken breast which is pretty good.

Our experience was great. Our server was very knowledgeable and was able to answer all questions with confidence. He was fantastic as a server! We order the kids grilled chicken with French fries and ranch, which the server said was GF without even me asking. We will be back.
