Red Robin Questions

Okay...so the other day i'm off to a home visit to meet with one of my precious autistic kids and I nearly wreck my XTurtle b/c out of the corner of my eye I see a Red Robin going up.... :o It's going up out there at Sandhills.

For those of you who have Red Robin knowledge PLEASE fill us in...do they actually have a gluten-free menu or have you just had good experiences with the wait staff/manager cooking you something safe??

And the fries...we cannot forget the fries... ;) I thought I read somewhere that they cook them in their own dedicate fryer??

I realize that once the place is open we'll have to go talk to the manager (Courtney i'm recruiting you, HAHA) and ask more specifics to assure safe dining, but I'd love any feedback that you guys have about Red Robin. Thanks!!!

Ate there recently and beforehand I consulted with the head kitchen guy and he confirmed that they do have dedicated fryers for fries. They serve them as appetizers, they have a bottomless fry situation there, and they are good. I ordered a cheeseburger withouth the bun and would go back again. My mom, who is 88 and eats gluten-free ordered a shake and ate fries and we both were fine afterward. If you ever are anywhere that there is a Noodles and Company, you should go there. They have rice nodles to which you can add grilled chicken and veggies, that is one of my favorite places. Barbara

We have 3 Red Robin's within 15 minute drive. All have dedicated fryers for the fries and all offer a lettuce wrapped burger (or any other sandwich-actually had a BLT that way there and it was quite excellent). Obviously, check and see, but I believe that because of the bottomless fries that they serve, they all have dedicated fryers. YEAH!!

Red Robin is awesome! I work at one, and so I get to see exactly what goes on in the kitchen. They are very knowledgable about cc issues and will prepare everything using clean grills and deticated fryers (I made sure to educate them!). They will prepare your burger away from the buns, etc.

I eat there all the time, and I always get the Vegetarian Red's Rice Bowl without the fried noodles and with the sauce on the side (sauce is not gluten-free). I have never had any issues.

The boys always get a patty with lettuce and mustard, a salad (they bring their own Annie's dressing), and a bowl of rice. They love it!

I'm so glad to hear all these good things about Red Robin!

Danielle,

I wish all the Red Robin restaurants were like the ones where you live. My hubby and I went to Red Robin for lunch today in Madison Heights, Michigan. When I requested a gluten free menu, the waitress couldn't even pronounce it and I asked for the manager. He, like the waitress, didn't have a clue. He said no they did not have a gluten free menu. He said only one of their buns was a wheat bun and the rest of them were just "regular bread". He obviously didn't know that bread is made out of wheat! After I explained that wheat is in all regular bread, he then suggested that they have a lettuce wrap I could order. I was too scared to stay after that encounter with ignorance. We left and went to Outback Steakhouse, where I was given a gluten-free menu and during the meal the manager came to our table to be sure everything was to our satisfaction.

Oh well, maybe some day our local Red Robin will have staff who have a little training about dietary requirements.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      plant sources of calcium, such as spinach, have calcium bound to oxalates, which is not good. best source of calcium is unfortunately dairy, do you tolerate dairy? fermented dairy like kefir is good and or a little hard cheese. i do eat dairy, i can only take so much dietary restriction and gluten is hard enough! but i guess some people do have bad reactions...

      Trip to Anaheim/Disney

      By Seaperky · Posted

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!
