Red Robin - Yummm

If you want a good burger, you can't beat Red Robin!

This is a chain that started in the 1940’s with Sam’s Tavern, a small tavern perched on a Seattle hilltop near the University of Washington campus. The owner, Sam, sang in a barber shop quartet and could frequently be heard singing the song, “When the red robin goes bob bob bobbin’ along…”. He liked the song so much that he changed the name of his tavern to Sam’s Red Robin and soon it just became known as Red Robin.

They now offer over 22 mouth watering gourmet burgers, including the Banzai Burger with grilled pineapple rings, the Pot Roast Burger, & "American classics" like the Red Robin Gourmet Cheeseburger or the Sautéed Mushroom Burger. My favourite is the Royal Red Robin burger that as well as the burger & salad, also includes a fried egg & four bacon strips - Yum!

The other really cool thing about Red Robin, is that not only do you get bottomless sodas, you also get bottomless steak fries. These are just the same as English steak chips & with an endless supply a visit to Red Robin always goes down well!
