I had lunch with a bunch of friends at the Cordova Red Robin last week. I've heard so many people talk about this place but, surprisingly, I have not been there yet. People either liked it or thought it was overpriced for just an average burger. Upon walking in, I noticed that they have a bar with lots of beers on tap. It couldn't be all that bad. I sat down and looked through the menu and noticed they have a "Burnin' Love Burger" that has the following ingredients: crispy-fried jalapeno rings, tangy salsa, spicy pepper jack cheese layered on top of a cayenne-seasoned burger, served on a jalapeno-cornmeal roll with chipotle mayo. All for $9.29. I thought, this sounds so good, it might be worth blogging about. Turns out I was right, but not because it burned my mouth. I write about this burger because it was far from any sort of hot or even spicy. Good burger, nonetheless. It's just very disappointing to pay 10 bucks for a burger that really wasn't any better than something I could get cheaper at Chili's. I might be on the side of the fence that says this "Gourmet Burger" restaurant truly is overpriced, but if I go back, I will try another burger that is described correctly on the menu.

I'm not a fan of Red Robin. Something about the food there just gives me the worst indigestion. Food is overpriced for sure, and for all the people that hate on Chili's I have to say I know what I'm getting every time I go and there is something to be said for consistency.
ReplyDeleteTheir food is always dry and their prices are horrible. I went once and I'll never return.
