Red Robin

This is one of the restaurants I frequent the most in Albuquerque for GF food. (I have to avoid wheat/gluten but I’m not a celiac.) GF buns are available, and there is a separate “allergen fryer” available to prepare french fries, sweet potato fries, or their “yukon chips.” If you ask, they can show you a tablet with allergen information for each meal, and how to order items to be gluten free. During the rare times I have received a meal containing gluten, the most frequent reason was that the offsite call center collected my to-go information but didn’t relay it properly to the local restaurant. I can get around the call center by using the online ordering system. The other problem is that sometimes my salads appear with croutons (it doesn’t click with some cooks that croutons contain wheat.) This location (Office) and Cottonwood locations are significantly better at handling GF orders than the Winrock/Coronado location is.

I had a terrible experience at the Coronado location. My burger came out on a regular bun and when I told the waitress, she acted annoyed with me and sent the order back. It came out super soon after on the same plate. I was assured it was a new patty and plate and so I ate it. Ended up super sick the next day and haven't been back. Supposedly the westside location has a dedicated fryer for french fries. Maybe I will try that one sometime and hope for a better experience.

Staff was very helpful. Both Celiacs ate without cc. Gluten free buns, fries, and sauces.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Cross contamination. Got glutened. Do not recommend for celiac.

Celiac friendly?

No

We came in a little late. 925 and they close at 10. However the second my burger came out with a rock hard microwaved bun and looking like a mess I knew I would need to take glutenease. I very nicely asked for a new top bun, not whole bun, just top and it came out piping hot and turned into a hockey puck a minute later. Our server was very nice however the kitchen was obviously in no mood to make our food. I've eaten at a lot of different red Robin's and have always walked away satisfied and unglutened. This one is not ran quite the same. So if you are in the area, consider a different restaurant.

Celiac friendly?

No

Staff was knowledgeable. If you tell them you have celiac they give you an iPad you enter your allergies and it will tell you what items to avoid.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Have had very good luck here with knowledgable servers

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 :)

Always a trusted option when looking to eat out

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.
