I shared this on my Instagram page and thought I would share it here as well.
I had previously signed up for Red Robin Royalty with is a free loyalty program on their website and texted "JOIN" to 98666 (they previously discontinued their app) and received a "Buy One Burger Get One Free" coupon.
The above burger was a little over $7.99 plus tax on their "Tavern" menu, which our waitress pointed out is smaller than the premium burgers, which the coupon was good for as well, but we were fine with the smaller burger.
This sandwich is a simple on with the addition of the barbecue sauce, but as I indicated in my Instagram, the sauce is really what makes the burger better.
It two burgers topped with a bourbon whiskey barbecue sauce, Pepper Jack Cheese, red onions, pickles, lettuce and mayo.
Their burgers included their "Bottomless Fries" on the side, which means you can order as many side of fries. We usually order mayo on the side but we were asked if we wanted to try their Ranch or Campfire Mayo sauce. Above pictured is the Ranch, which was not quite a good as Hidden Valley's Ranch Dressing.
I also tried the Campfire Mayo (not pictured) and it was a light orange color but mostly was a smoky sweet flavor with a slight tang that was neither tastes of ketchup or mayo. It was not something I cared for, but I could see many other people that like that sort of flavor enjoying it.
Even with two soft drinks our total bill before tip was under $20 and even with a 20% tip was under $22.00 and was simple as we we only had to enter my phone number in the kiosk that was at the table.
The burger is something I would purchased again, but I would probably ask for an additional side of the barbecue sauce to be sure the entire burger was completely covered (there were a few small spots along the edge that weren't) even if I have to eat it with a fork and knife.
I will give a warning on the games on the at table kiosk as we had a situation at Applebees where we thought the game was free and we were charged $2.99 and there was no indication of that there was a free prior to starting the game. I suggest avoiding them and enjoy a conversation with the party(ies) you are dining with instead.
