Title: Red Robin
Post by: PurpleCat on July 11, 2012, 06:54:22 PM
Just went on a road trip vacation and I can't say enough about our great success eating at Red Robin!  We ate at different ones and the attention to detail, training of staff, allergy binder, managers, etc..... were consistently excellent!!!!  I emailed them and thanked them for our great meals out and the care and accommodations they did for DD in a manner that did not single her out as different.  Her allergy to sesame and garlic were beyond the allergy binder, no problems finding safe substitutions when needed.

(we don't have them here so I had no previous experience)

I highly recommend Red Robin as an allergy friendly restaurant.  We all enjoyed our food too, very yummy!

We had a bad experience on our one visit there as well. 

Kids ended up throwing up ---

And I don't like that with our multiple allergens, we were given hand-outs of safe menu items for each allergen.  Then we had to figure out what was okay for all the allergens.  Very difficult to figure out.

I don't understand. Why would it matter what was next door?

Us too!  My DS threw up 3 different times after eating at RR.  So frustrating!!

Was it your egg allergic DS?  Since they serve a burger with a fried egg on it, I'd bet the griddle is contaminated with egg.  :-/
