When we are in Amherst, New York, Red Robin is our favorite place for a great burger ‘n fries!

I think we have tried almost every burger on the menu, but the MadLove is my favorite. Let’s start with the cheddar/parmesan crisp … seriously?  Now add provolone and Swiss cheese, jalapeno relish, candied bacon, avocado slices, citrus-marinated tomatoes, red onions, and shredded romaine on a brioche bun, and I am in LOVE!

H chose the Smoke & Pepper burger with black-peppered bacon, extra-sharp cheddar cheese, romaine, dill pickle, smoke & pepper ketchup, all on a brioche bun.  So much YUM!  The burgers took a while, but arrived perfectly cooked (no pink).  Honestly, one bite and you’ll be hooked!

You must try their endless steak fries and dipping sauces!  I prefer medium cut fries, but these are addictive, especially if they come out piping hot.  Ours were not, but a new order took no time at all.  The dipping sauces are complimentary, and I highly recommend the campfire mayo, which tastes smoky, and Red’s secret tavern, which reminds me of Thousand Island dressing.

Our visits are occasional treats, so no calorie counting needed.  The servers are generally friendly and efficient, BUT consistency would be amazing.  It is nice to see huge improvements since my last review, especially with so many management changes.  If you sign up for their loyalty program, you will receive a free birthday burger n’ fries!
