Red Robin

I love Red Robin. It takes me back to childhood. I’ve never gotten sick at a RR. When I asked for a GF bun the server asked if it was an allergy and noted it for the kitchen. She clearly took my restrictions very seriously and I felt safe eating here. I did not have any negative reaction.

We didn’t used to like their gf buns but after a few years we recently tried again and they have gotten much better. I know they’re a chain and can vary depending on location but the north Austin restaurant has been good. We’ve ordered twice now and didn’t get any flare ups after eating. Was actually quite impressed. Now the price has gone way up. $20 for a gf burger and side but when you don’t want to cook it’s worth it.

They used to be really great about cross-contamination, but seem to have gotten lax in recent years. I got horribly glutened tonight.

Celiac friendly?

No

Read their website on sources of their food. says they cannot guarantee if their suppliers change their ingredients without notice. Not reliable for celiacs.

Celiac friendly?

No

Their GF buns are pretty tasty, and I'm a big fan of the lettuce wrap offering they have.

However, after having many conversations with the staff and several managers, I'm pretty much confirmed that the seasoning salt that they use on the fries if you don't ask them to be plain and the hamburger unless you specifically ask them not to (which contains gluten) is often added to the meat itself before they prepare the hamburgers.

Just a process thing, and there is no way to remove it. Therefore, Red Robin is not celiac friendly, and is a risky place to eat if you are trying to avoid contamination as much as possible.

But, if you can tolerate small amounts, they have a variety of yummy burgers.

Celiac friendly?

No

Great lunch option and most burgers available gluten free. b

Clueless waitstaff and unpleasant managers who don't want to be bothered by someone who has gluten issues. I was advised by the manager to not eat there at all.

Gluten free buns!!

We have eaten here three times in the last six weeks. I'm super sensitive and didn't get sick. The burgers and fries were very good. Please always remember that you need to be specific and PLEASE be your own best advocate with your server. Double check when you order and when you receive your food ....EVERYWHERE.

Even though there were options for gluten-free bread, I wanted fries more than the bread and I didn’t need both. I got the impossible burger and although I would’ve loved another option for a sauce like mayo and cheese, they didn’t have vegan options, but it was delicious and came out with purple sticks to mark celiac safe and I had no reaction! It was all really good!

The staff are consistently well informed about what constitutes a gluten free diet. They mark all items that are gluten free from the kitchen with a purple food stick to let the staff know it's an allergy friendly item and to be careful. The fries are made in a dedicated fryer. Our son loves going here because of the food and the atmosphere. Kid friendly for sure!!

They were so helpful when I spoke to them about my situation. I was able to enjoy a great meal with zero stress. The safe food is delivered with purple sticks and I was so grateful everything was clear. I will be back again for sure.
