Red Robin

This past weekend, I had gone home for my old high school's homecoming game. I saw a lot of my old friends and talked to a lot of people I haven't seen in a long time. Back in high school, after the football games, the dance team and our friends would go out to Red Robin. The dance team no longer does it this year and we all thought it would be fun to go out like old times, considering the graduating seniors were all in town. So after the game, we hurried out to the parking lot to get on our way to Red Robin.

When we walk in, it's like they were expecting us. There was a table of 20, which is how many people we had, and enough waitresses for our crowd. Since we were sort of celebrating old times, I decided to not try anything new and get the usual, the Teriyaki Chicken Burger and a Hawaiian Heartthrob Smoothie.

When my dinner came, it was exactly as I was expecting. A tender, juicy chicken breast with sweet tariyaki sauce, grilled pineapple, Swiss cheese, lettuce, tomato, and mayo. The grilled pineapple was so juicy that you pick up the burger and the juice rolls down your hand. Everything is blended so well together that it is impossible to dislike. This particular dish is considered a Red Robin favorite, and mine too. It even comes with bottomless fries.

The smoothie was just as good and reminded me of the days when I used to go there just for that. The Hawaiian Heartthrob Smoothie is a blend of strawberries, bannanas, grenadine, cocconut cream, and pineapple juice. It really feels like a tropical drink, and it's one of those beverages that you try not to drink too fast because you want it to last.

The atmosphere was great and the huge rounded table helped everyone to socialize and catch up before the college students had to leave again. I really enjoyed getting to be with all of them and having a great meal. Red Robin is definatly a favortie of mine and if it wasn't as expensive, I would be there all the time. The expense isn't too bad, but without a job, a 12$ meal isn't exactly in my price range.

If you know someone who hasn't been to Red Robin, at least check it out once. We all love it and would suggest it to anyone that's hungry. You can check out the menu online, but the website warns you, "viewing gourmet burgurs while hungry may result in very loud stomach noises and lack of interest in the workplace vending machines."
