I genuinely do not understand the appeal.

Because of a 1.4 second long advertising jingle saying no more than the name of the company that has been repeated online, on the radio and on tv more times than the sears air conditioning commercial.

I don't get it either but I do know people are really, really, really fucking stupid and Mike Judge's prophecy is not 400 years away, but 40 years away.

i hate that place. there are always a million screaming out of control kids running around

>> No.8709487

Basically the reason why your extra fries take forever is once the dinner rush gets going, they have to give fries to meals that are going out instead of fry refills.

Then they should give out normal portions of fries and drop the bullshit "endless fries" shtick. Fuck Red Robin. It's false advertising.

Ok seriously,

WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO RED ROBIN.

I remember 14-15 years ago, they'd give you plenty of fries, the burgers were juicy and good, they'd refill your drink regularly.

Now their burgers are stale, dry, and made very lazily, their fries are more stale and they barely give you any in that retarded metal ring or cup. It's all fucked.

Yeah, you're right. Ever since it gained more popularity I've been seeing more and more of their franchises open up across the states, for obvious reasons. Still, miss how they used to be though.

You see, its called bottomless fries, not because you get an endless supply, but because the cup has no bottom.

The day I got my license, the first thing I did was drive over to Red Robin and get myself an A-1 peppercorn burger. That was 6 years ago, and these days, I still go in every so often when something in my life has gone terribly wrong and I just want to have my favorite burger.

For me, it is the A-1 peppercorn burger. The best chain burger.

It's fairly cheap and a decent place for families or poor college-age kids to go for a psuedo sit-down restaurant experience.


The food ain't the best, and it's certainly not a classy high-quality steakhouse, but it has its appeal to folk unwilling or unable to pay money out the ass for a decent burger and some time enjoyed with family and friends.

Ingredients are great.
Waitresses hate fries because cooks hate giving them out so they're yelled at on both sides.
The prime rib can go fuck itself.

This. Keep extras going like an intelligent line cook if it's that fucking busy or drop the bottomless fries bullshit. We never fall behind on fish on fridays where I work when the all you can eat fish fry special is on.

Literally everything you described has to do with the specific employees at your location and not corporate. Why do customers at chain places act like every location is the same? I understand that's the idea behind chains, but a half second of thought should tell you that some people are better at their jobs than others so there's gonna be variance.
