“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ YUMMY YUMMY & YUMMY 🍔😋
I hadn’t been to a Red Robin in years and recently I’ve been back TWICE because I totally forgot how AMAZING their burgers are just delish plus the prices are such a great deal 💸🙌🏼

One of the biggest reasons I had to leave this review is the OUTSTANDING service ⭐👏🏼Both visits I received some of the fastest, friendliest service I’ve had in a long long time ⏱️😊 Even though they were super busy, the manager still took time to come by to clear the table and check in to see we were happy 😃 finally a place that truly cares about customer service!! Our waitress was awesome too 👍🏼

✨🤩 SHOUT-OUT 🤩✨ to the Manager and his entire team at Red Robin in Plaza Bonita you are doing it RIGHT👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🍔❤️

“Stopped in last week for a quick drink while waiting for the rest of our party. It was mid day on a monday. Very clean and extremely friendly. I wish I would have caught their names but the bartender there was very attentive and inviting. As well as the manager on duty. Very friendly and had great sense of humor. This is out of our location but would really consider coming back!“

“I met up with several friends after we played basketball this morning. The server seated us in the area we requested and made suggestions for our breakfasts. She was attentive and friendly and checked on us with the right frequency. The food was very good and an excellent value for the price. The facility was clean and comfortable. The location was convenient and easy to enter and exit. The perfect spot for meeting for some casual time with friends!“
