Having a food allergy is not fun. It took me 36 years to develop a food allergy and of course, it had to be something I love….milk.

Yes, I live in the dairy state and I can no longer tolerate milk and some milk products. I know, it makes me super sad but I’m not a fan of being sick or popping pills all the time either.

Having this allergy and knowing there are all kinds of people out there that suffer from serious food allergies, I am happy to share that Red Robin is making dining out easy for those with food allergies. With their new Interactive Allergen Menu, Red Robin helps you find items on their menu that you can eat and also lets you know just how to order them!

So, in honor of my amazing husband turning 30, we made our way to the local Red Robin the other night for a nice, quiet, dinner for two!

To help me with my ordering needs, I paid a visit to the Red Robin Interactive Allergen Menu via my smartphone while enjoying a nice glass of New Glarus Spotted Cow.

Thank goodness their isn’t milk in beer!

The Interactive Allergen Menu is easy to use, just select your restrictions and browse through the different menu items and see what would need to be removed or substituted to fit your dietary restrictions.

The menu was really easy to use and it left me with A LOT of options and showed me exactly how to order my meal to cater to my personal needs. Also, if there were different options available, in place of something I couldn’t have (such as raw onions instead of onion straws) it let me know.

After playing with the menu for a bit, I settled on the Red Robin Gourmet Cheeseburger minus the cheese and the mayo.

Of course, it was absolutely delicious and the Red’s pickle relish on the bottom bun…O.M.G.—-SO GOOD!

Going Above & Beyond

Red Robin trains all restaurant Team Members to allow guests to modify their Red Robin food or beverage order to suit their taste or dietary preferences. If a guest has a food allergy, the Red Robin team member will ring in the order with an allergy alert and bright type so it is clear on the table order. 

Red Robin uses allergen kits to prepare all allergen orders. The kits include tools that are for use on allergen orders only and are purple to clearly distinguish them from other kitchen tools. Purple is the color of Allergen Awareness.

Red Robin provides the guest with information so they can make an educated decision on what to order themselves, whether it’s for food intolerances or food allergies.

This is what I call going above and beyond for the customer!

You can bet we will be visiting Red Robin a lot more now that we know about their allergen friendly menu and the precautions they take.
