Founded in September 1969 in Seattle, Washington, Red Robin Gourmet Burgers and Brews is an American chain of casual dining restaurants. The first franchised Red Robin restaurant opened in Yakima, Washington, in 1979. Due to Red Robin's reputation for burgers, I've divided them into three sections for rating. The best burgers are the most expensive, while Reds Tavern is the cheapest. I fell in love with the Black & Bleu burger thanks to its creamy cheese sauce and generous portion of blue cheese
