Red Robin burgers

so, that's what you kids are calling it these days.

 

Best thing about Red Robin: Milkshakes.
I only allow myself 1-2 chocolate milkshakes per year, and this is where I go.
They are like you used to get 40 years ago. Hardly anybody makes them the right way anymore.

 

Not true. Many people love Five Guys' hot dogs.

 

MUCH!
But not for some funky flavor.
We're talking chocolate milkshake made with vanilla ice cream and chocolate syrup. The real classic. RR gives you the big silver cup the shake is made in to top off your own shake. Just like when I was a kid.

 

Harold and Kumar DID NOT GO to Red Robin. It always struck me as a decent date place for high school and college kids or to take the family. And you poor bastards outside the Northwest are missing out on Burgerville somewhere between McD's, Whataburger and Fuddruckers.

 

I should have said "not a meat lover," which from personal experience could be everyone. You can have anything in the world, so long as it's burgers, dogs, grilled cheese, fries and Coca-Cola products.

 

I have no idea what Fuddruckers is. I had never heard of it until I moved to Texas and I haven't gone since I've been here. I've also never heard of Burgerville.

 

Does Fuddruckers still put that cheese goop on top of its cheeseburgers? I haven't been there in 15 years, and I'm not buying a cheeseburger that doesn't have real cheese on it. And preferably cheddar.

Steak and Shake still does it for me. Big, tasty, slightly greasy triple cheeseburger. Great fries, great shakes.

 

I've never had an actual burger from Red Robin, but the one Italian chicken sandwich the place within the burger space is quite phenomenal ... specially paired with bottomless GARLIC fries and strawberry lemonade.

Plus, except for that lemonade, the place is quite cheap.

 

Just for you buckweaver I went to Whataburger today. It is better than your standard fast food joints, but it is nowhere in comparison to Red Robin and you are smoking something if you think it is.

 

If you're ever in East Texas, stop by Jucy's in Tyler or Longview. It's a two-pound heart attack, but the best burger I'll ever have in my lifetime.
