The Red Robin Porkiyaki Burger is a new pork menu item from the QSR brand that will offer consumers a sweet, savory flavor experience that is unlike most of the burgers presently available on the market. The burger is made with a ground pork patty that has been glazed with teriyaki sauce and topped with pickled carrots, red onions, crispy onions, shredded romaine lettuce and finished with a roasted garlic aioli. These flavors combine to deliver an exceptionally savory burger that is also a mix of several textures ranging from smooth to crunchy that is sure to be favored by foodies.
The Red Robin Porkiyaki Burger is priced at around $11.79 at participating locations and comes served with a side of Steak Fries.
