Red Robin Gourmet Burgers (founded 1969 in Seattle Washington, originally as Red Robin Tavern; publicly traded on NASDAQ under ticker RRGB; headquartered in Englewood Colorado) is a casual-dining gourmet-burger chain with about 500 US locations across 41 states, famous for the Bottomless Steak Fries side included free with every burger entree (unlimited refills of seasoned steak-cut fries), the Banzai Burger flagship, and Yummmm Sauce signature dipping sauce.

The questions readers actually ask: what time does Red Robin open today, when do they close, are they open Sunday or for lunch every day, are they open on Christmas and Thanksgiving and Easter, what is the bottomless steak fries deal, and where the nearest Red Robin is located.

Two Red Robin specific things worth knowing: most locations run 11:00 AM to 10:00 PM Monday through Thursday and Sunday, with extended Fri-Sat hours to 11:00 PM. Both Christmas Day and Thanksgiving Day are closed chain-wide (one of the few casual-dining bar-and-grill chains to close BOTH Thanksgiving and Christmas, similar to LongHorn Steakhouse and Olive Garden); Easter Sunday is open with regular Sunday hours. Royalty Rewards loyalty members receive a free birthday burger every year, one of the most generous birthday-rewards programs in casual-dining.

What is bottomless steak fries at Red Robin?

Bottomless Steak Fries is Red Robin's signature side and one of the chain's most distinctive features in US casual-dining. Every burger entree includes seasoned steak-cut fries with unlimited free refills as long as the customer is dining in (refills are typically refused at the very end of the meal but otherwise unlimited). The bottomless concept extends to bottomless freckled lemonade, bottomless soft drinks, and bottomless onion rings (the onion rings carry an upcharge but are also unlimited refills). The bottomless steak fries program has been a Red Robin distinctive for decades and is the primary reason many Red Robin regulars stop at the chain rather than competing burger restaurants.

What is Yummmm Sauce?

Yummmm Sauce is Red Robin's signature dipping sauce, originally developed as the topping for the Banzai Burger (the chain's flagship teriyaki-glazed burger with grilled pineapple) but available across the menu as a topping or side. The sauce is mayonnaise-based with garlic, herbs, and a hint of paprika; many Red Robin regulars order Yummmm Sauce as a dipping sauce for the bottomless steak fries. The sauce is available for purchase in the Red Robin retail merchandise program at some locations.

How does Red Robin Royalty work?

Red Robin Royalty is the free Red Robin customer loyalty program. Members earn points on every visit that convert to dollar-off rewards, plus weekly personalized digital coupons, exclusive sale prices, and the iconic free birthday burger every year (Royalty members receive a free Tavern Double or Whiskey River BBQ Burger in their birthday month, one of the most generous birthday-rewards programs in casual-dining). Sign-up is free at the Red Robin website or in the Red Robin mobile app.

What was the original Red Robin?

Red Robin started in 1969 in Seattle Washington as Red Robin Tavern, originally an evolution of an older Seattle bar called Sam's Tavern that had been around since 1940. The Red Robin Tavern name came from the namesake mascot (a red robin bird character) and the chain's original gourmet-burger format and family-friendly atmosphere with the Yummmm bird kids' character distinguished it from competing tavern-format restaurants in the early 1970s. The chain expanded through the Pacific Northwest in the 1970s and went national through the 1980s and 1990s. Headquarters relocated to Englewood Colorado outside Denver.
