It used to be that if you wanted a nice, juicy burger, you'd head over to Red Robin's to quench your hunger. Because in their prime, nobody did burgers like they did. Over the years, the quality seemed to drop off a bit, but it wasn't like the food was horrible. It just wasn't up to the standard of their golden years. I went one day with my cousin to see how the food was faring. We went when they opened, so they had no problem seating us by the windows, per our request. We had to get the Towering Onion Rings, of course. The rings were quite large, and they tasted as good as the last time we'd had them. We also decided to try their Artichoke & Spinach Dip, and this one fell flat, unfortunately. The dip was really bland, so we hardly touched it. Our mains of the Sautéed 'Shroom Burger with Yam Fries and Clucks & Shrimp tasted really good, though, so overall, it was a nice meal. I was relieved that Red Robin's was still a viable option for burgers, because I really don't eat them that often, so when I have a hankering for one, it's nice to know that there's a place I can go to that is continuously satisfying. I rarely eat in at the restaurant, as most of my interactions are ordering from them online. Obviously, the food is not as fresh as if you had actually been at the restaurant to eat it in person, but that's to be expected. The food is still enjoyable, so I can't really say anything blatantly negative about it. One thing I was disheartened about was their Poppyseed-Honey Mustard Dressing. They must have changed the recipe or something because the last few times I had the Crispy Chicken Tender Salad, the dressing had been really thin and watery and almost tasteless. I ordered the salad again, and the dressing was about the same. That dressing is what makes the salad come alive, so I haven't been ordering it. I hope they will remedy this because that salad is a family favorite. It's still an appetizing place to grab a burger, so if you need to sink your teeth into some meat, head over to Reb Robin's.
