Red Robin

I had a lunch date with my aunt, and she is a cheeseburger lover. So I decided that Red Robin would be the perfect place to take her. We had an appetizer to start off the meal. The towering Onion rings were to die for. They are served with a ranch-barbeque sauce that adds just the touch of flavor with mild heat. We both got cheeseburgers. I got the royal red robin burger, which was awesome. It has all the fixings that a regular cheeseburger has but it is topped off with a fried egg. Delicious! The only complaint that I had is that we had to send our burgers back because they were served cold. Our server Jeff, was very professional, and returned moments later with fresh burgers and fries that were steaming hot.

Why anyone would think this is good food is beyond me. I ate here once or twice back in high school and i remember thinking it was pretty good. Obviously my taste buds have grown up. After not eating here for almost 7 years i agreed to eat here one night when it was late and i was positively starving. We started with an appetizer sampler  that contained onion rings, cheese sticks, and something else i don't remember. The cheese sticks were typical mass produced frozen sticks that were deep fried and pretty average. The onion rings looked and smelled disgusting so i didn't even bother trying any. I ordered the "natural" burger but what they gave me was anything but natural. It tasted like a frozen beef patty. There is simply no way in hell it was fresh or "natural" beef. The basket of fries that accompanies the burger was quite possibly the most horrific item of food i have ever consumed. Everybody raves over how good these fries are and i just don't get it. The fries are not fresh and hand cut and the seasoning on them tastes like garbage. The only redeeming part of this dining experience was our server, who looked and act a lot like Amy Poehler. If you want a good burger, there are a million other places in metro detroit to get it. Just don't waste your money here.

Never ceases to amaze me.
