Red Robin Gourmet Burgers Giveaway & Interactive Allergen Menu Review

red-robin-logo-2013

Red Robin provided all the information and gift cards for this post and giveaway. All opinions are my own.

Friday giveaway! That’s two giveaways this week, don’t say I never gave you anything! 🙂 I am excited about this giveaway, and I think you will be too! Did you know May is National Allergy Awareness Month? Me neither! But it is, and as the proud (ok, not really) owner of a food allergy and the parent of a kid with a food allergy, I was very happy to “celebrate” this month by checking out Red Robin® Gourmet Burgers’ Interactive Allergen Menu. It is, in a word, AWESOME. And in two words, super convenient!

Red Robin® provided me with a gift card so my family could dine in the restaurant after first accessing the super-convenient interactive allergen menu. I chose Mother’s Day for us to eat out, because OF COURSE I DID! What better day to get some allergen-free eats that I didn’t have to cook? We went after church and on my way, in the car, (while my husband was driving!!) I pulled up Red Robin’s Interactive Allergen Menu on my iPhone. Using it is SO simple. You just select the ingredients you want to avoid (for me, wheat/gluten, for Jonah wheat/gluten/milk):

And then voila, the interactive menu will tell you what’s safe for you to eat and/or what substitutions you can make. It is that easy. I decided what Jonah and I would order before we even got to the restaurant!

First you pick what category of the menu you want to eat from. Here, I clicked on fire-grilled burgers, and voila, the burgers appear telling me which ones I can have and how I need to modify it. If you click on “options” it also tells you whether there are substitutions such as gluten-free buns, etc you can order to enhance your meal.

FYI, I ordered the bacon cheeseburger on a gluten free bun with sweet potato fries – YUM!

Next, I hopped over to the Kids’ Meal section of the Interactive Allergen Menu and decided Jonah would feast on a hamburger (gluten-free bun, no cheese) and mandarin oranges for lunch. It was his very first hamburger and he loved it, especially after we introduced him to ketchup!

Jonah preferred to eat his bun and his burger separately. Goof.

We had a great time and all LOVED our Mother’s Day meal at Red Robin® Gourmet Burgers. Plus, the service was excellent! “Allergen Alert” was printed boldly on our order and I know the specially-trained Red Robin staff were careful to meet our special food needs. Since ordering for Jonah is often a pain at restaurants and it was a total breeze here, we will definitely be back as a family soon!

  2. I love the nutrition customizer. Pretty cool if you are looking to count calories or limit carbs etc. I tried out the sauteed mushroom burger and then saw the caloric difference if I swapped the ground beef for turkey. Amazing very little caloric difference!

  4. SautĂ©ed ‘Shroom for me and the Burnin love for my husband. Looks Yummy!!!

  10. The nutrition customizer is amazing. Now that I know that is a thing, I may have to go there (espeically with a gift card – hint hint). I think I would take the bowl of tortilla soup without sour cream. Great calorie deal at less than 400!

    I was disappointed with the allergen app, that more allergens aren’t available, such as spices. My mom has allergies to spices, and corn (weirdo). I was hoping that this could work for her, but alas, I don’t think it can. Maybe Allergen Customizer 2.0 could add this feature.

  20. Too funny….I literally just got home from Red Robin when I opened your blog. We love Red Robin, but only get go to once or twice a year. I was amazed to see an expanded menu with some great options. Checking out the hub, I think I’ll try the turkey burger next time.

    Also, my son has a nut allergy. My husband saw a note on the menu to be sure to let your server know if there is a food allergy. She was great about it and I was pleasantly surprised to see “Allergen allert” printed boldly on our receipt as well. I know it’s never 100% certain, but it is quite a relief to enjoy a meal with little concern over allergies. Go Red Robin, go!

  28. I would love to try the “gourmet cheeseburger”.

    Thanks for the chance to win!

  29. This is wonderful! I love that I can choose to avoid milk, as one of my kids is sensitive to dairy. A gift card there would be great! Thanks!

  32. This is such an awesome feature! I know it is so very difficult having children or family members with food allergens. I would definitely try the Royal Robin!

  33. I’d like to try the BLTA Croissant — this was picked by avoiding fish as an allergen.

  41. I would like to try the Prime Chophouse burger. I love the addition of onion rings on the burger.

  42. I would like to try the Royal Red Robin. I recently had eggs on a burger and my life was changed. Why haven’t I eaten one sooner?!

  43. the gooey chocolate brownie cake is what I would like to try. Tried the nutrition analyzer and the nachos chickin chilli apptetizer calories are huge!
