Red Robin is my go to place when I have a taste for a cheese burger. My wife and I have eaten there a minimum of ten times since my diagnosis of severe gluten allergy. She gets a cheese burger and I get a gluten free cheese burger. Their fries are great! They have earned all five stars each time we dine there.

I have celiac and I was terribly sick for two days after eating a simple cheeseburger on a “gluten free” bun. My side was plain broccoli. I WILL NEVER SET FOOT IN A RED ROBIN AGAIN. IF YOU ARE CELIAC DO NOT TRUST THIS RESTAURANT!!!!!!!

Server was knowledgeable about gluten free items. Explained how the fries were cooked in separate fryer. Made sure to mark my food on the mini order pad as gluten  allergy.

I’ve been here before and explained my celiac .....they would put a purple ‘pick’ in the fries. Tonight I asked for fries gluten free. The first basket was ok. The second basket had the taste of onions, which I’m guess the fries came from the same fryer the breaded onion rings came from ☹

One of our favorite picks in Plainfield for GF. They have GF buns and the best lettuce wrapped burgers. Frier for fries are also separate so no cross contamination

Despite their advertising they do nothing to assist the gluten allergic patron. On top of that they argued with us as to our needs. Stay far away from this place.

We called ahead and the staff was extremely unhelpful and gave mixed information. They argued with me when I told them what their site stated. I would not risk it.

Make sure you use the word “allergy” when ordering as this puts an alert on your order. I was asked if it was an allergy or personal preference and told that personal preferences are not taken seriously by the kitchen. This does make me question how seriously they take allergies but I wouldn’t know if there was cross contamination as I don’t have symptoms.

I got a burger and fries. The gluten free bun was surprisingly good. Fries can be prepared in a dedicated fryer - be sure to request this. I was told the patties aren’t cooked on a separate spot on the grill but they are kept separate from the buns.

Red Robin’s website has a great interactive allergy menu that helps you figure out which items you need to avoid or make substitutions on. Everyone else’s burgers came with a wooden stake and mine came with a purple colored one to distinguish it.

Had Danielle as a waitress who was very understanding and helpful even though it was a Friday night and they were very busy. The hamburger was fantastic and the bun was so good I had to make sure it was gluten free. I even bought some to take home. I waited to post to make sure I did not ha e any reactions and none whatsoever!

We Go when on vacation. They are always very careful with our allergies. My husband has several allergies and has never had a problem here. Wait staff is great and the manager usually comes out to check on us.
