“What a great dining experience with my 3 granddaughters. The cashier Sonya was very patient and helpful assisting each of the girls with their kids meal options. The order arrived quickly and was correct. The dining area had plenty of tables to choose from but some tables needed to be cleaned. We had enough saved tokens to get a Culver's prize. They chose a kick-ball and Sonya offered to inflate the ball for them. Wow, great service with a smile. This really made our visit special! We came back about 1.5 hours later to use custard coupons from kids meal. Again, great service and really enjoyed Custard of the Day.Kid-friendliness: The cashier had a handy chart showing the different options for a kid's meal. My kiddos could look at the pictures and choose the items they wanted quickly and easily.“

“Just spent the last few hours at this bar and my heart just feels so full. Spent time sitting with the owners and bar tenders just chatting and sharing laughs and stories. Heard so much love and support of each other being shared no matter what our background was and who we love or be. That as long as we are kind that’s all that matters. Knowing that there is a community of people that will always be such a huge voice of support for our community especially right now. There is an attacking being on the queer community starting with drag and the fact every month drag bingo sells out and has repeated customers and inside jokes between groups. It’s just really an uplifting thing and wish everyone had access to a bar like this.“

“I stopped for lunch on a Monday at Noon, and I ordered the Hot Turkey sandwich along with a cup of soup.The soup was good, a little on the thick side, but I liked it. You could tell the Hot Turkey was sliced in house because it was thick pieces of very tender and juicy Turkey that was covered in a rich gravy. The mashed potatoes were good. Everything at this meal was good. The service was quick, and the place was clean and organized.Very good value for the money. I will be back.“

“Absolutely wonderful place. Had the prixe fix tonight which included sweet potato and bacon ravioli, risotto, and green tomato sorbet.Simply put, the sweet potato and bacon ravioli tasted like a loaded baked potato wrapped up inside ravioli.The risitto was absolutely nuts. First off, the risotto was more liquidy than I was used to, not quite soupy but also not the thick rice I was used to. Maybe most importantly to me, I was a little unsure about the duck because I've had it a time or two and it was less than special. This time I could tell it was different than chicken or turkey, it had a very distinct and specific flavor I've never tasted before. The way it blended with the risotto was absolutely amazing. Each piece of the risotto went amazingly well with each of the other pieces, any pair of ingredients mixing together to form another distinct and stand out flavor. The goat cheese and fig, while few and small in volume, really gave a small treat to each bite they were included in and added a lot of depth. The dish, while fantastic on its own, was not complete with the encompassing balsamic. It really brought the whole dish together and brought it to whole other level.As for dessert, I was very curious as to how this mix of seemingly random fall ingredients would taste. Surprisingly, it was fantastic and most certainly unique. This was much like the risotto in terms of pieces and depth. A sweet desert turned almost savory with the addition of the salty Ritz cracker crumble around the chedder cheese. Unsure of how it would blend, I was pleasently surprised particularly at how well the pumpkin mixed with the chedder and Ritz crumble. That flavor profile paired well with the green tomato sorbet and especially well with the apple strips. Not my favorite thing in the world but not at all bad and certainly very unique. At least I thought it was, might be a more common combination than I think. The level of creativity here gives it a lot or extra points in my book.Overall, very good. Dessert was more interesting than great for the restaurant and the sweet potato and bacon ravioli was almost disappointingly familiar. The main course was one of my favorite things I've ever had and definitely something I would look to replicate on my own in the future.Disclaimer: I am just a random college kid who likes to eat, I don't actually know anything about food. I am literally just spouting words. Love this restaurant and it inspired me to cook fancy for myself and family. My girlfriend thought it was fun to read my review over text and told me to post it so here it is!“

“Loved everything about the cafe food wise and the tables. Also loved they had a little nook for kiddos to play. The only negative thing I would say is that they need to mop there floors? I put new clothes/socks on my 13 month old daughter and they were completely BLACK along with her hands from her crawling/walking on the floor and she smelled musty(like the floor hasn't been cleaned in god knows how long) so that is really nasty. I would definitely come again but maybe don't have your kiddos wear nice clothes??‍?“

“Visited twice for lunch in Feb 2024. The first time I had chicken tenders with tator-tots and cheese curds. Excellent tenders made with batter and not your typical crumb breading. Cheese curds were really good, as would be expected in Wisconsin. The second time I tried their Cuban sandwich, but I would not recommend it. It was disappointing - served on ciabatta bread with what seemed black forest ham and pulled pork. It was not pressed like a cubano should.The atmosphere was your typical sports bar. At lunch time it was rather quiet.“

Two very large pancakes would have been more than enough, but the meal came with 2 eggs, and 2 pieces of meat. I didn't want the hashbrowns, so I upgraded to a very delightful fresh fruit bowl (apple & banana slices and also grapes).The waitress was very nice, attentive, and prompt.Overall an excellent experience.“

“This was our first time ever at a Red Robin and we were a bit nervous but the extensive allergen menu helped us feel like we would be safe to order.Sam the waiter made dinner fun and safe for my young kids with food allergies. The food was great and everyone had fun.Dietary restrictions: I have 3 kids under 7 with food allergies and Red Robin was the easiest place to order food. Their allergens menu was easy to use, and the Waiter Sam was concerned about an item so we double checked and so did he that it would be safe. The food came with allergen flags to let us know they had taken extra care with the food.And the true testament to how seriously they take allergies is that despite the varied food allergies and the kids ordering each other's allergens they all had a great time and no one got sick!!!I would recommend Red Robin to anyone with food allergies as they took the allergies seriously and took great care of us.Kid-friendliness: The food was quick to come out. Cooked well! The sides were kid friendly and bottomless letting my broccoli monster and my French fry monster eat what they wanted.“
