Red Robin Launched a Gourmet Veggie Burger with a Whole Grain Bun

— January 5, 2018 — Lifestyle
Red Robin Gourmet Burgers & Brews is now adding a Gourmet Veggie Burger to its menu, featuring an ancient grain and quinoa patty in place of beef.

As well as being able to enjoy a meat-free burger, consumers will also be able to indulge in classic and gourmet toppings such as a Swiss cheese slice, Parmesan-sprinkled mushrooms, tomato bruschetta salsa, avocado pieces, a sun-dried tomato spread and romaine, all on a whole grain bun.

Alternatively, consumers may also enjoy the Gourmet Veggie Burger with a Keep It Simple option with lettuce, tomatoes, pickles and onions on the side. For the convenience of consumers who prefer plant-based options, the burger may also be ordered as a vegan-friendly version with a lettuce bun that is served with bottomless broccoli.
