So here I am, ready to post my next review. I actually reviewed this place 2nd, the day before I was to do the White Spot review. So being true to my word, I posted the White Spot review first!
My next victim/saviour? Red Robin.
Out of high school we used to go Red Robin quite often. In that short period of time, they went from being one of my favourites to one of my least favourites. I used to love their Blackened Cajun Chicken Strips and their Cajun Burger!
My preference has always been to go for foods with a bit of a Kick to them! Maybe it's the Indian in me. I prefer spicy, but not too hot! People tend to confuse the two. One is flavourful and adds to the experience in a pleasureable way. The other just provides a burning sensation. You pay for it during and after the meal - if you know what I mean. A little of the hot stuff is ok, if you get too much - well then it just overpowers and destroys your tastebuds. In some cases spicy/hot foods can make your nose runny, give you hives, nausea, trouble breathing, making you cough and choke. That's not my idea of a good meal!
I digress, so anyways as most proper Burger Joints go, the drinks are bottomless. At a few of the Burger Spots - the fries are bottomless as well! I had actually forgotten about this, but Red Robin used to have wedge shaped fries that were bottomless. I actually preferred those! Right now, I can only think of one place that still does the wedge shaped fries, but I won't mention them right now, I'll save that for a future review.
Red Robin used to actually have a really great product and were very consistent. Then all of a sudden they took a real nosedive! The food tasted like it was microwaved! Nobody likes warm, soggy, nuked tomatoes and lettuce! That smell is disgusting! So every time someone wanted to there, I would always suggest somewhere else - and not even give it another try.
Eventually, I went back after like a 6-8 year hiatus! The items that were my favourites, got the old heave-ho! I've taken my mother to Red Robin a few times. She, being a vegetarian, has a limited choice when eating out. I ordered the Onion Rings for her, and they came stacked! She was so impressed, she's taken several of her friends there! So has Red Robin made a full recovery? Let's find out shall we?
Time to continue in the saga to find the Most Exceptionally Satisfying Burger around!
