introducing b to red robin

yesterday, after we spent two and half hours at the dmv to get our washington state drivers licenses, b was starving so we walked 6 blocks from our condo to the original, yes i said original red robin. he was in shock by the size of the burgers, bottomless drinks and fries. not knowing any better, b also ordered a chocolate malt, which of course went straight into a to-go cup. overall, the experience was better then the one back home in union center. the service was way faster. our burgers were out in five minutes even though the place was pretty full. though the place being original and all, was clearly dated as far as the interior went. and our waitress thought it was weird that i asked for fries to come out right away. how was i supposed to know that there would not be a long wait like there always is in cincy. although i don’t think she was all the way with it, either. i ordered a chicken sandwich and she asked me how i would like it. and after several weird looks and uh, what’s she finally explained herself. she said “well how do you want it, rare, medium, or well?” i was like “um, i ordered a chicken sandwich”. and after about 30 seconds i saw the light bulb turn on above her head and she smiled and replied, “oh, yeah. that’s right.” i considered it a miracle when my sandwich came out correct.
p.s. i had never had a red robin malt before do to the size of the burgers and fries. but a few hours after we got home and unpacked the office, b and i partook and thought it was a very good malt. so if you ever find you have room, get a chocolate malt. they are yummie!

Love Red Robin. Didn’t know they started in Seattle. RR does the best job ever of getting the whole experience right. Every part of the experience is touched with good design. Love it. Glad to hear you guys are doing well. We miss you back here in Cincy.
