Had lunch here. I ordered the basic cheeseburger on a GF bun with broccoli instead of fries, since the waiter seemed unsure if the fryer was shared or not. When the food came out, there was no purple toothpick in it signifying allergen protocols, even though I had told the waiter I have a gluten allergy and need GF food. I asked the server if the food was GF and she said yes. I also got the chicken ensenada to go, again requesting GF. After eating the chicken meal for dinner at home, I had symptoms of being glutened, which lasted for 9 days.

I left a comment on the Red Robin website detailing my experience, just so management could be aware since it is the company’s policy for personnel to be trained in allergen protocols. I did not request a response, but the manager of the establishment did get in touch with me, apologized, and stated they would retrain the employees.

This was over two months ago. I may try another Red Robin, but I don’t think I will give this particular one a chance again. The flavor of the food was okay, but not good enough to risk my health a second time.

A website of food allergy menu items is offered to help you find foods to meet your specific dietary needs. You check off your allergies and it gives you options offered. I ordered the Impossible burger which is grilled on aluminum foil to prevent cross contamination with gluten or meat. They offer a gluten free bun that is delicious. The servers advised French fries are fried in a separate fryer but the seasoning salt has gluten. The fries can be ordered without the seasoning to make them gluten free. I have eaten at this location twice in the last month and have not gotten sick.

This was our first time we went to a red robins, we loved it. Our waitress Candice was perfect also, they all made sure my food was prepared carefully. Never had to ask for anything..... Everything we needed was right there! Perfect from the moment we walked in the doors!!!!!!

server was super helpful. Even though the g-free menu said the fries were considered g-free, just to worry about the fryer, he said the seasoning wasn't g-free and to always ask for the fries without seasoning. I wouldnt have done this had he not warned me based on what the menu said.

My first time at a Red Robin and I loved it! Had a burger and fries (gluten free) and they came with a little purple stick in it to indicate gluten allergy. Waitress was wonderful! (They also have pretty good ranch)

Notified server GF, ALLERGY. Ordered a burger GF bun. Fine until I quickly remembered that it had steak sauce on it ISN’T GF. After asking this server about it, he didn’t know so he wouldn’t ask the chef and he didn’t know so he sent the bottle out to me. It clearly states that it has barley vinegar in the ingredients. Seriously disappointing that the kitchen staff is preparing “gluten-free food” and they have no idea what has or doesn’t have gluten in it.

Nice way to ruin the end of my trip. And will be sick for the next couple of weeks.

Always a reliable choice. Red Robin's online allergen menu is extremely helpful and in-depth, symptomatic celiac been coming here for many years and never had a problem. It's not fine dining or anything but it's about as good as it gets for a huge chain restaurant like this.
