Reviews
It’s a fun, classic spot for a casual meal. The service has always been friendly and fast in my experience, though I’ve heard it can be hit-or-miss. Overall, if you’re craving a reliably good gourmet burger in a lively atmosphere, this is a great choice.
We returned for dinner this week and had a great experience! The food was made to perfection and our server Amelia was awesome! Kept our fries coming! Great dinner experience!
So it’s a mixed review for me. I haven’t been here in over 10 years. We were greeted by an amazing hostess she must have been a manager she was so friendly and professional. We had no wait and were seated immediately. They have the bottomless fries which is great! Just order a refill of fries as soon as you start getting low. We tried the sweet potato and garlic fries. They are delicious!! We ordered the blue cheese burger and the BBQ River burger. The problem was when we got them the blue cheese burger had no blue cheese and the bbq burger had no bbq sauce!(before and after pics included) It was immediately remedied when we showed the waitress. She was decent but you can tell she was tired and was the only one in our section with a lot of tables to wait on. Other than that it was really good food! Clean atmosphere and mall parking out front.
Melanie is by far our favorite server at the Red Robin in Plaza Bonita and we have been a regular for years. We always request her, no matter how busy it is, she is absolutely worth the wait. Every single time we come in, she welcomes us with a smile, a friendly attitude, and such warm, positive energy. Whenever we walk into Red Robin, Melanie already knows our usual order and drinks and it’s already ready. She talks to us like she genuinely cares, and you can tell she truly enjoys her job. We’re always having a great time whenever we are here and leave in a good mood because of her.
We honestly wouldn’t come here as often as we do if it wasn’t for her. She deserves to be recognized for the outstanding service she provides. Red Robin in National City you are incredibly lucky to have her!
Buzzer Beater Bacon Cheeseburger- Three Pointer with sweet potato fries. Delicious & juicy. Was out in less than an hour to make it to my movie on time.
The atmosphere is okay and the furnishings are decent. We ordered a fish and chips, a bacon cheese burger and a kids burger. We asked the order to come all together but the kids meal came out first and our was a little wait. But that wasn’t a big deal.
Our other two orders came out. They looked good. The fried fish is a decent quality. But…
The bacon was super weak on bacon, two very thin pieces inside. The name of this meal starts with “Bacon”, so it’s not a top 5 burger place for me and the rest is fairly basic. Steak fries were a 6 out of 10.
The fish dish came missing tarter sauce and needed follow up. Same as the last time we ate at this place.
The third piece of fish my wife ate revealed a 2 inch twisted piece of plastic wrap fried inside it. I also realized late they hadn’t brought our kid’s milk yet for his kid’s meal.
Upon sharing this fried plastic issue, my wife dish was taken with chips and all still on it. The waitress returned stating a manager would come. He arrived 8 minutes later and offered to comp the fish plate and give us an additional. We took the comp of course for it but refused to take home a free order of the same thing.
I don’t like making a big deal over things in public with bad food orders etc, and I felt like I was being sized up about how much of an issue I would make of it.
In honesty, I didn’t feel like being compensated $14 for my wife to pull large plastic out of her mouth was worth it. I felt like the manager would be ok with having his mother chew on a plastic sheet in a restaurant for $14. They should have just comped the entire inexpensive ticket right there at a minimum and not the single dish dish. Because frankly it’s gross and just spoils the experience for the two of us to deal with this.
I still gave the waitress her tip because careless prep and cooking is not her duty.
But I do feel like the manager sized me up as someone to not put much thought into about it, or possibly it happens quite often there.
I have been multiple times because the kids menu is actually very functional and decent. And we extend ourselves quite often for our kids, don’t we?
I’m not going to one-star them about one experience, but I feel it was poorly addressed and coincidentally I had photographed the meals to make a review today. Timing.
We will be back!
I had the $10 special -Cheeseburger, bottomless fries and drink. Cheaper than going to a fast food place. Didn’t take pictures of my plate because I was so hungry.
I hadn’t been to a Red Robin in years and recently I’ve been back TWICE because I totally forgot how AMAZING their burgers are just delish plus the prices are such a great deal
One of the biggest reasons I had to leave this review is the OUTSTANDING service ⭐ Both visits I received some of the fastest, friendliest service I’ve had in a long long time ⏱️ Even though they were super busy, the manager still took time to come by to clear the table and check in to see we were happy finally a place that truly cares about customer service!! Our waitress was awesome too
✨ SHOUT-OUT ✨ to the Manager and his entire team at Red Robin in Plaza Bonita you are doing it RIGHT ❤️

But the wait wasn’t too long.
However, we did wait quite a bit of time for a server after we were seated. The manager stopped to inquire and we told her we were still waiting for help. She proceeded to say that she could take our order which she did. Our server turned out to be friendly.
The first order of fries was amazing.
My burger was beyond well done.
It seemed as if the servers were rushed…
Overall, not bad. Because of the fries, I’ll be back…
