Daughter's choice for her bday on Monday. Haven't been there since before I started tracking every bite that goes into my mouth.

What would you get to eat at Red Robin?

    Just go to their website and find something that you can fit into your calories. It does look like it might make it an otherwise skimpy food day, but do your best. We can't all be perfect all the time!

    A large salad with dressing on the side, or their grilled chicken sandwich and save half for later. You can substitue fries for a side salad.

    California chicken burger on whole wheat bun with fries. If that is the restaurant of choice, that is what I always get.

    go to their web site and start planning now. That way you can plan out your calories for the entire day around the meal. I often put dinner in first and build back from that.

    This is exactly what I do and when I get to the restaurant, I dont open the menu to be tempted by other items or any specials they may have going on. I always know what I am going to order before going out at night and enter it first thing in the morning and make adjustments for the rest of the day. I usually just do brunch if I'm eating out at nite.

    I love RR and I would get either a salad or a burger (no bun) and some gluten free sweet potato fries.

    The Bruschetta Chicken Sandwich sounds good, and doesn't seem too bad at 615 calories. Add a side of black beans and some Freckled Fruit Salad (whatever that is!) and I think you'd fill yourself up quite well for a total of 810 calories. Do some exercise and you should be able to fit that into your day's calories.

    A burger. A big one. I'd enjoy it and not worry.

    Cut back on other things if you are worried about one day, but enjoy your daughter's birthday. One burger will not do any serious damage. Neither will the cake you enjoy after.

    And fries, and beer.

    Anything can be special ordered as you like. So get what you want skip the fried nasties it you want to avoid those and sub out fruit or salad options that won't make you feel left out. You can always have a bite or fry from someone elses plate if you just can't resist

    I get the Chicken Ensenada Platter with just one piece of chicken and no ranch sauce/dressing. I ask for a side of salsa, cut up the chicken, mix everything on the plate together, and it makes for a pretty tasty salad.

    The Apple Harvest Salad without the Blue Cheese crumbles and without the garlic bread. Comes out to about 489 calories.I would just enjoy yourself get what you want and make it work. Just be concious after looking at their nutrionizer alot of things that look like they would be better choices are still around 800 calories.

    I 'had' to eat there last weekend (my son's bday choice) and I struggled over the menu. I ended up getting the California chicken and took the top bun off. I also only ate a few fries. I was able to stay within my calorie intake goal.

    If I go to Red Robin there are always fries and IPAs involved......I never get out of there at less than 1200 cals.

    OMG! I've never been to Red Robin (nor to America for that matter) so this is the first time I've heard of them or looked at their website. YUM! Now I'm hungry - I want one of EVERYthing. It's 8.20am in NZ, time for breakfast, unfortunately after looking at RR's menu all I want is burgers, fries, and onion rings, lol.

    I usually get the Bruschetta Chicken Sandwich with a side of steamed broccoli. Skip the fries! That's under 700 calories, which isn't bad!

    My sister chose Red Robin for her birthday dinner while she was in town last month, so I looked up the nutrition info beforehand. I ended up getting a cup of Red's Chili Chili, sweet potato fries, and steamed broccoli, and beer. It was all very good! Normally, I would've gotten a burger and eaten a ton of endless fries. What I got was yummy, satisfying, and still in my calories for the day. I didn't even work out that day, so that's saying something haha!

    A blue ribbon burger.

    Doesn't hurt to have a splurge every now and then.

    I have only been there once, and they served my 13 year old alchohol by mistake. My mom and her got virgin Margaritas and the waiter was new and ordered them wrong. Boy was I hot and they were kissing my butt! They knew I could have gotten them in serious trouble. After that, I never wanted it again.

    Boca burger with a whole wheat bun, no sauces just ketchup and mustard. As far as calories go, one serving of the fries isn't as bad as you think- but I'd rather eat something more nutritious so I'd probably get a side of fruit.

    I always get the natural burger- lettuce, tomato- it comes with a slice of cantelope instead of fries.

    That hamburger with the egg on it. Also lots of fries. It's just one meal.
