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).
Who knows about cross-contamination. Large kitchen lots of people. It will be hit or miss on the day. Food was decent
Ask for a gluten free menu and they will give you an iPad with all allergen information on it. They have gluten free buns for burgers and the fries are safe to eat. I love going here and I have never gotten sick from it.
Notes
Red Robin has gluten-free buns for their burgers. Many locations also have dedicated fryers for gluten free-fries. Please verify with your server.

Love love love!! My all time favorite gluten free restaurant. They have a separate fryer to keep the fries gluten free and away from cross contamination. You can also get a gluten free bun, although I typically get a lettuce wrap!
Excellent food! Didn't get sick. Have Celiac's. Ordered Avocabo salad with cheddar instead of blue cheese with ranch and no garlic toast. Even had a French fry as they have separate fryers for fries.
Not safe for celiacs major cross-contamination! Manager has a very nonchalant attitude towards the issue! Manager was rude and condescending when I was explaining about cross-contamination is dangerous for celiacs. After eating got extremely bloated very sick before even left the resturant! Will never ever go back to this location for now on we will drive an hour to Cincinnati to go to the Red Robin in Kenwood or they are extremely careful and take good care of their customers and are super friendly!
They provide an iPad that is interactive to filter out or suggest modifications to meet allergens identified. I had the Marco Polo which is a grilled chicken sandwich but added a GF bun. Also have a dedicated fryer on request for GF fries. I'm celiac and no issues with cross contamination.
It's definitely one of my favorite gluten free restaurants they have a very good bun but if you get the fries don't use the seasoning
I can eat here safely, just not enjoyably. You can order a bun but since it isn't warmed or toasted/grilled I prefer without. You need to look up the menu on your phone or a provided iPad and it is a little difficult to maneuver. I don't care for the hamburgers without a regular bun.
It was wonderful to have options and a gluten-free bun but the GF menu is only on-line and it was time consuming looking up every item individually on different links. I missed a lot of conversation while researching my meal options. I would have preferred to be handed a menu that lists the burgers, cheese, sauces etc. in one place rather than fiddling with my phone. You also have to be careful because while 'cheeseburger' was on the GF list, the waitress, knowing I was Celiac, offered me choices of cheese including blue cheese. I then asked her to wait while I found the 'cheese' section of the website (which was a separate link than the cheeseburgers) only to find that blue cheese is not gluten free. I would recommend careful pre-planning before you go, but I do appreciate that I can have a cheeseburger & fries like a normal person here. They are making a great effort, but I'd really like the convenience of having a menu like everyone else.
Service is horrible & no one seems to know what the difference between wheat & gluten is. Will never go back!
Had previously rated them well, but they've decided to eliminate printed menus for GF items at all RR.
Best GF-friendly chain restaurant in the area. Good sized gluten-free menu, and the hamburgers on GF buns are excellent! Fries are cooked in a separate, GF-certified fryer.
Absolutely delicious!!! The wait staff is very knowledgable! The GF buns and fries are wonderful!!! I'm so thrilled!! :)
Knowlegable staff. GF bun is good. Good food prep and quality.
Gluten free buns and a separate frier for the fries. I can have fries again!!!!! All the staff is super knowledgable about gf options.
I love these burgers. I usually get them wrapped in lettuce and that makes them very messy. The gluten free bun is pretty good, though. The only thing I don't like about their GF menu is that it is basically just a bright yellow binder that screams "I have an allergy!" The food has always been excellent so I guess I can't complain too much.
Outstanding food and extremely knowledgable staff. Fourth Red Robin I have been to in as many locations & every single one has been top notch. Not only great GF practices but great service & food!
The manager came to the table to explain the options and communicated with the kitchen. Good GF practices.

Excellent experience, when I arrived the host explained to me my GF options and that the fries were cooked in a separate frier. When I asked for an egg on my burger the server said he would make sure the kitchen cooked that for me on a clean grill. Couldn’t ask for better really and the food tasted great!
One of go to restaurants in Lubbock. I have never had a problem with cross contamination. They have gf buns but I always just do a lettuce wrap.
Hamburger with Gluten Free Bun. Gluten Free Fries. The manager brings out the gluten free items and it has a purple plastic pick in it to reaffirm it is gluten free. I still ask every time to confirm that the bun is gluten free and fries as well. Website is very helpful and detailed.
I do eat here sometimes only because of a lack of other options locally. However, you have to check every ingredient on your food, every time. I always get the bonzai burger and garlic fries. I make them aware of the allergy every time. About half the time it still comes out with the teriyaki sauce on it, even though I tell them it's gluten. Be prepared to have to send your food back and be okay with it. They are completely unaware.
I have eaten here many times and never get sick. I always panic because the bun tastes like regular. It sinks down to flat where you bite it though, that’s the difference. Make sure they put a purple pick in your food for allergy and you’re good!
