I went to Red Robin in Miami, FL, with my celiac daughter. They offer any of their burgers on a Udi's gluten-free bun AND offer completely gluten-free french fries!! I can't begin to tell you how much I enjoyed that meal!! The server told us that kitchen staff and servers are schooled very seriously on their gluten-free options.

 

There IS hope!!

We ate at Red Robin for the first time in 4 years. They have improved so much on their gluten-free options and the way they handle it all! We were on vacation, and ate there 3 times in Utah, and now have sense eaten at our local one. The management, servers, and cooks all did a great job!  The fries are fried in a seperate fryer (at least in Provo, Ut and in Tempe,AZ) The hamburgers were really good.  The buns are Udi's! So good!  We are sensitive to cross contact, and we explained that each time we ate, and we never got sick.  When we were vacationing, it was nice to be able to order "to go" and pick it up and eat it while we were at family get togethers where their was food.  We will continue to dine there.  

 

They did have a couple of salads, many hamburgers, a couple of chicken sandwich options, but not dinner entree options. Many sides were gluten-free also!

red robin - yummmmm!  i think i have eaten out 4 times in the past 3 years, so thought we would try it.  and it's right in my favorite area to shop :)  i was nervous as a cat!  but they did a good job and everything was delicious.   the udi's bun must have been a different recipe than the hamburger ones i have gotten at the store.  i was a little wigged out when they toasted my bun, but the server came right over when she saw my distress and assured me that it was toasted under a salamander on a separate plate.  it's been over 2 days and not one sign of glutening - not even a smidge of a headache.  i cannot tell you how happy this makes me - i'm trying to be all cool, like, no big, to the rest of the world - but you all understand that just this little convenience that i used to take for granted is so awesome to have back!  i can go shop, HAVE LUNCH, with other people (WOW!!!!!!!)  without sitting in the corner eating my chex!!!  ;)  and they had (omgosh) crappy wine but i didn't go there to *drink*

 

husband pointed out to me on the receipt that under my order (in big letters) it was printed "ALLERGY ALERT" - i have seen this chain off the interstate while traveling, so would also be nice to take a break and eat some trips.  happy, happy, happy, happy! :D

It is always nice to have a place on the safe list for when you are out of the house.  Thanks for the reviews, everyone.

The hostess seemed a bit bewildered on the gluten free subject but I will say that our server seemed to be on top of the subject. I am so happy that the wifey has found another place that she's comfy with. :)

I was told today that the Red Robin seasoning has gluten. I'm fairly new to gluten-free so can someone tell me which of the listed ingredients (if any) is the culprit? The label doesn't indicate gluten...

 

Salt, Spices (incl black pepper, celery seed, cumin, oregano, sage), dextrose, dehydrated garlic and onion, paprika, autolyzed yeast, dehydrated tomato, hydrolyzed soy protein (carmel color), natural flavor (smoke). CONTAINS SOY

It doesn't look like it has any. The problem might be that, when a restauruant does gluten-free correctly and goes for certifications, there are certain standards that must be met. One of them is that they have to repeatedly check with suppliers about the gluten-free status of foods that they buy. Red Robin may have decided it is too hard to assure a consistent gluten-free spice mix. ( right or wrong). My BIL looked into certification for his restauruants and decided that was something he didn't want to do - guarantee a food from another company was gluten-free. It's easy to guarantee meat its gluten-free as they are buying pure meat or pure lettuce.

It does NOT contain gluten. I used to work at a Red Robin and many cooks and servers were confused about that because the seasoning used to not be on the gluten free menu, but was added back a couple years ago. Red Robin is very up to date about their allergy menu, and updates it regularly. If they can't guarentee something, they won't put it on the menu, but the current allergy menus say the seasoning is okay. Cooks and servers however, got used to saying it wasn't safe and kept saying it. It drove me crazy when I worked there! I eat it everytime I'm there though and have never reacted.

Its also left off fries to make it easier to identify which are allergy fries and which aren't, because its an easy difference to spot.

Thanks for the clarification.  It is a good reminder to always follow the most up to date info directly from the company.

I also had a great experience at Red Robin in Salt Lake City, UT. The server was incredibly knowledgeable, the fries were cooked in a dedicated gluten-free fryer, and I didn't get sick.

 

Just wish they had one where I live.

Red Robbin is the best.  That is where we usually end up when eating out because I know I can have a great meal and not get sick after.  I haven't tried the gluten-free buns because I prefer mine wrapped in lettuce, and love the french fries.  I can even get a gluten-free beer :) .

I tried Red Robin's for the first time and was very impressed! I don't eat meat, so they made me a specially made veggie sandwich on their gluten free bun (avocado, red onion, pickle, tomato, lettuce) and I had their yummy steak fries. Their handling practices are excellent!

 

They carry the allergy orders separately and even put them on a different colored plate, to distinguish.

They are excellent.  In all of the different states we have visited I have had nothing but a postitive experience.  Out Back is also an excellent chain as if PF Chang.

      Gluten free Areds 2 Vitamins

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If you need that designation you'll likely need to switch to a different brand. It's unfortunate that they don't add it to their label and test for gluten.

      Gluten free Areds 2 Vitamins

      By Michael P · Posted

      Thank you for the reply  , I have tried the Baush & Lomb brand and did have a gluten reaction.  O spoke to the mfg and they state the same as many other mfgs.   - NO Gluten intentionally added to product , but they have no control ( they choose not to) over their suppliers of various ingredients  I am really trying to only take vitamins  that clearly state gluten free

      Diagnosed w Celiacs, but reacting to gluten-free Digiorno Pizza AND Kraft Zesty Italian Dressing

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      DiGiorno reformulated and have not been using wheat starch for a couple of years now, so this should not be an issue: https://www.goodnes.com/digiorno/products/digiorno-gluten-free-frozen-pepperoni-pizza/ It does contain other ingredients that may be causing you IBS-like issues, for example guar gum.  Many gluten-free foods and baking mixes contain xanthan gum or other gums like guar gum. Although they are both gluten-free, they may cause IBS-type issues in some people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity:

      Alcohol

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary--wine and other alcoholic beverages might also fit in here. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful:

      The patient is positive for DQA1*05, one half of the DQ2 heterodimer

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I completely agree with you—celiac disease and gluten sensitivity are far more complex than mainstream medicine often acknowledges. The genetic component is vastly underrecognized, with multiple genes (not just HLA-DQ2/DQ8) contributing to susceptibility. Your point about HLA-DQA1:05 is critical; even ‘rarer’ genetic variants can have serious clinical implications. I appreciate the book recommendation—No Grain, No Pain sounds like a powerful resource, especially given the author’s bold stance against conventional dietary dogma. Your decade-long experience with a grain-free diet is inspiring and underscores how transformative dietary changes can be for autoimmune conditions. It’s frustrating how narrow testing and outdated guidelines leave so many suffering. Your work as a Functional Nutrition Counselor is so needed in this space.
