red robin

AyehRed Robin, well-known for their vintage decor and huge array of burgers recently set-up shop in the

Pembroke Pines area allowing The Collective Plate to celebrate our holidays with them. Greeted

with a warm welcome from the hostess, we were comfortably seated at our table for 11 (they ac-

commodate for large parties, just make sure you arrive early enough to make a reservation!).

I personally have been here previously and already knew what burger I was going to try, but if you

easily become overwhelmed, go to the website and look ahead of time. Each burger is served with

an endless amount of steak fries, crisped to perfection (and I honestly mean that because I hate

fries that aren!t crispy)! This time I ordered the Burnin! Love with chicken which was the perfect

amount of hot spice (I love spicy food and this was a 3/5 on the hot meter). If you aren!t a beef

eater, they offer a chicken swap! Others that I!ve tried and recommend: Banzai and the Brushetta

Chicken Sandwich. Also, ask for the Campfire sauce - if you!re a fan of barbecue sauce, this is an

alternative twist to that (perfect match with my fries).

The only downfall I found was service. I can understand being busy, but I do not appreciate rude-

ness. After someone ordered an appetizer for the table, the staff had not brought out plates. When

asked for said plates, a random food runner then proceeded to shake a stack of plates at us rather

than taking the time to pass out the plates - NOT cool (she should be fired, sorry). Other than that,

I understand busy (having worked as a server myself) and appreciated that our server took time to

small talk. However, even with that incident, I still would come back. They have a huge variety of

burgers and am wanting to try as many of them as possible!

To be honest, I love a good burger and it!s rare that I meet one I don!t like. This wasn!t my first time

at Red Robin and from what I remember of that cheeseburger, it was very tasty. In my opinion,

burgers are pretty hard to mess up and when it comes to dressing them up - there!s almost an indefi-

nite amount of possibilities.

Unfortunately, I was pretty sick during our holiday dinner trip to Red Robin and my taste buds weren!t

at their best. I started with a cup of tea and tall glass of OJ while I looked at the menu, trying to decide

what to get. Soup was the only thing I could really enjoy so I ordered a cup of their Clamdigger!s Clam

Chowder and half of their BLTA Croisstant sandwich. The food took quite a bit of time to come out, but

our waiter was eager and courteous. This particular Red Robin location was in the mall and was very,

very busy since it was around the holidays. With all those people, it was loud and hard to hear each

other. And since we were sat a rectangular table instead of a circular one, it wasn!t easy.

As for the food, I have to admit that I prefer Red Robin!s burgers when compared to what I had that

night. The soup was pretty basic, but I!ve had far better chowders elsewhere. It seemed a bit bland

and needed a good amount of pepper to satisfy my taste buds. On the other hand, the sandwich was

good. How can you go wrong with a BLT on a buttery croissant? Plus the addition of fresh avocado!

Next time I go to Red Robin I hope my health (& taste buds) are ready for a burger!

Many times I would watch TV and I would see an advertisement for a restaurant called Red Robin

Gourmet Burgers. The food looked great but the one problem was there were no Red Robin!s local. I

thought I would never get to try one of those tasty looking burgers. Then one day to my surprise they

opened a Red Robin at Pembroke Lakes Mall. Even better yet The Collective Plate decided to go

there. I was excited to see if the food was as good as it looked on TV.

Inside the restaurant had that classic American burger joint feel, like Johnny Rockets and

Fuddruckers, etc. Nothing really new but never the less it works. When I looked at the menu, I was

spoiled for choices with the burgers. After taking a long time looking over the burgers, I finally picked

the right one (I didn!t want food envy). I selected the Prime Chophouse which consists of a juicy beef

patty, horseradish sautéed mushrooms, steak sauce, Provolone cheese, crispy onion straws all piled

on an onion bun with country Dijon sauce! Oh yea, did I mention that these burgers come with bot-

tomless steak cut fries? When the burger came it was a good size and was presented well. I asked

for medium and that!s how it came. When I took my first big bite the burger, it was juicy and tasty.

The mushrooms added a great flavor and the Dijon sauce really added that extra something. This

was indeed a good burger but still not one of the best I have ever had. Don!t get me wrong, would I

go again? Yes, I would. Just as burgers go it was not in my top 5 but still very good quality. The steak

cut fries were nice and chunky and with a bottomless supply that was a great value. The service was

good and the atmosphere pleasant.

If your craving a good burger place that is inexpensive and friendly this is the place for you.

HoneyI enjoyed my first visit to Red Robin. I ordered the Bruschetta Chicken Sandwich instead of

ordering one of their gourmet burgers. The chicken breast was grilled to perfection, savory

and still juicy. What I loved most about my sandwich was the mixture of the aioli pesto and

the balsamic cream with the bruschetta salsa. It was a variety of amazing flavors all in one

bite, I would definitely order this sandwich again.

I did not get a chance to try one of their milkshakes, but it gives me an excuse to go back

to Red Robin!

It has been YEARS since I!ve eaten at Red Robin and my last visit was in Chicago. Red Robin was

a great choice for The Collective Plate Holiday Dinner. It was simple, casual, and best of all it was

inside the mall. It!s so nice to work up an appetite after you shopped til you dropped.

First of all, our waiter Jaime at the Pembroke Lakes Mall was excellent. He was kind and so patient

with our huge group. So a BIG thank you to him. The manager even checked up on us and made sure

our dining experience was well worth it.

We started off our dinner with towering crispy onion rings that was served with a side of campfire

sauce and ranch dressing. This appetizer did not last long on the table! The Sautéed Shroom Burger

was my main dish. It had a generous amount of flavorful mushroom and the bun was spread with a

garlic parmesan sauce. I was surprised to bite into a slice of jalapeno and I immediately flicked that

off. I and anything spicy is a bad marriage.

Overall, I would come back again and try out their mouthwatering cookie magic milkshake.

Yuuuummmmmmm……

I remember seeing the sign, “Red Robin, Coming Soon!” in the Pembroke Pines Mall and being

pretty excited about it. I!ve never been and only heard great things about this popular burger joint!

The moment it opened, photos from friends were streaming in all forms of social networks that had

me drooling! I also learned through word of mouth about the unlimited steak fries.

CHALLENGE ACCEPTED.

“Basted with a tangy steak sauce and topped with crumbled Bleu cheese. Served with crispy onion

straws, lettuce, fresh tomatoes and zesty chipotle aioli on an onion bun.” Bleu cheese and aioli

caught my attention and I found myself ordering it without reading the rest of the menu. I don!t know

about you but in my opinion, bleu cheese does wonders for a burger for me. I may be biased because

I am a really big cheese lover. :)

I highly recommend the smoked bacon aioli sauce to dip your fries in. You!ll be raising your hand for

more of their unlimited fries.

They have so many varieties of burgers and if burgers aren!t your thing, they also have other options.

I want to try the Bruschetta Chicken Sandwich next!

Well apparently I have eaten at a Red Robin previously some years ago but since I did not

remember I acted like it was my first time.

It was a good choice for the TCP secret santa gift exchange... because who doesn!t love

a burger joint?

Since we were a big party, the food took a little while and yet still didn!t come out all at once.

It was a good tasting traditional burger with a blue cheese and onion straw twist. However,

by the time it got to me, added with the extended wait for other TCP members food, It was

a cold patty lying on the bed of hardening onion straws. At that point, I could only imagine

what it would have tasted like hot... nonetheless it did taste great.

When Red Robin opened in Pembroke Pines, I was jumping for joy, hearing nothing but good things

about the food - and my expectations were definitely met. The towering onion rings were sweet yellow

onions, breaded and fried, served with a ranch and a tangy Campfire sauce, enough to share with the

rest of The Collective Plate crew.

The Red!s Big Tavern burger was grilled to my liking, medium, with American cheese, lettuce,

tomatoes and Red!s Secret Tavern Sauce, which is they!re version of a thousand island. I topped my

burger with a fried egg cause fried eggs always makes a burger extra special.

One of my favorite things about Red Robin are the bottomless steak fries, you can!t go wrong with

endless fries. The only down side, in my opinion, was the service that night. I understand that we are

a big group, but getting our order took a while, as the waiter would leave in the middle of the order to

take care of other guests.
