Gluten-Free Buns at Red Robin!

We went to our favorite Red Robin tonight expecting to have to eat our burgers without buns. The manager informed us that they now have a gluten-free bun option!  It is apparently a brand-new option and participation may vary. (It is not yet listed on their regular menus, so be sure to ask for them.) They do have a full gluten-free menu sheet as well if you ask for it, listing what is safe to eat.

Also our waitress let us know that the seasoning on the fries should not be used when avoiding gluten. This is the same seasoning they have at the tables and I didn’t see anything in the ingredient list that might contain gluten. (It does have soy though, so I try to avoid it.) Since they recommend we not use it, we took their advice. We felt like they were aware of gluten-free requirements and were able and happy to help us.

The gluten-free buns are a dollar extra, but if you are like us and are tired (already) of eating a burger with a lettuce wrap, or worse, with cutlery, then just for the illusion of normalcy, they are worth it. And, frankly, quite tasty.
