Well, June 23rd Mark and I ventured to Lawrenceville after helping move our eldest son David into his new home. There is a new place and it is named America's Red Robin Gourmet Burgers & Spirits . I was on the internet, (go figure) and found out that they have a Birthday Club . You know me and freebies of any kind go hand in hand! I signed up everyone in the family all on one easy signup sheet.
Walking into this place was a kids dream come true a nook where kids can gather and play games before their food arrives. Balloons adorned the ceiling with ribbons floating casually in the air above our heads. Colorful figures reminded me of shows of yesteryears. Booths or tables everywhere a cozy seat, inviting you to sit and stay.
Mark decided to try the 5-Alarm Burger with Pepper-Jack cheese, jalapeños, fresh tangy salsa, sliced tomato, crisp lettuce and Chipotle mayo. It comes with a bottomless portion of Steak Fries!!! Yummy. Two Budweisers later he exclaimed it was very filling and would come back for more.
I decided to try one of the "Knife and Forkers" on the menu the Bruger Parmigiana. What was I thinking? Wow this thing was huge. I could not pick it up, this burger was topped with a crisply-fried Mozzarella wheel, sautéed sweet peppers and onions, garlic mayo and Parmesan cheese. We then add the final touch, a rich, red tomato sauce. It is also available with Crispy or Grilled Chicken Breast. It was served with a side of Bottomless Garlic/Parmesan Steak Fries. I just wonder who has ever ate the whole thing and wanted more fries? Certainly not me I cut it into quarters and ate one with half the fries and ended up bring the remainder of the sandwich home. Yummy!!
While Mark is more imbibed, I on the other hand went for the cool fancy drink called the Freckled Lemonade. While they boost on the menu "Pucker up to this refreshing blend of sweet strawberries & tangy Minute Maid® lemonade. Bottomless Refills!" I found this drink sad, the strawberries were left to sit in the glass and become soft and soggy. My only suggestion is to slice them right as the drink is being made and place on top like the picture on the menu sports.
I give this establishment a thumbs up for atmosphere, fun and food. As far as the drinks they will need to work on that part.
