While many people are opting for healthier options when eating out, there is still a strong demand for hearty, comfort food-style dishes. Red Robin's new menu options cater to those looking for something familiar by focusing on a childhood staple.
The newest additions to Red Robbin's Tavern Menu includes Tavern Mac 'N' Cheese, the Buzz Mac 'n' Cheese Tavern Double and the Four Cheese Melt.
