Here’s how to order keto at this amazing burger palace of deliciousness:

Lunch & Dinner

“I’ll have the sandwich please, without the bun and…”

When all else fails, you cannot go wrong with a meat patty, some cheese, and a lettuce wrap. Still, if you’re looking for something with a bit more pizzazz, options here abound, from Tavern menu burgers to their Finest and other sandwiches.

Red Robin’s Finest Burgers:

• Black & Bleu: Ask for the mushrooms and onions on the side and use sparingly. Skip the bleu cheese sauce (keep the bleu cheese, though).
• Citrus Harissa Salmon: Skip the breaded lemon wheels, aioli, and tomatoes. Ask for mayo if you’d like sauce.
• The Marco Pollo: Skip the sundried tomato spread.

Fire-Grilled Gourmet Burgers:

• Red Robin Gourmet Cheeseburger: Skip the relish and keep everything else.
• Bleu Ribbon: Nix the onion straws and chipotle mayo.
• Keep it Simple: Perfect as is! It’s basically a meat patty…
• Grilled Turkey: Omit the chipotle mayo and keep everything else.
• Royal Red Robin: Perfect as is! Enjoy!
• Guacamole Bacon: Perfect as is! If you’re concerned about the guacamole, ask for it on the side, but I’ve had this numerous times and I’ve never had issues.
• The Wedgie Burger: This is essentially the guacamole bacon burger in a lettuce wrap. It’s perfect as is, but you can eliminate the purple onions to save a few carbohydrates.

Red’s Tavern Menu:

• Pig Out Style Tavern: Perfect as is. Down the hatch!
• Red’s Tavern: Skip the Secret Tavern Sauce.

Other Fun (Not) on a Bun:

• Bruschetta Chicken: Ask for the salsa and aioli on the side and use sparingly. Everything else looks great!
• Simply Grilled Chicken: This is essentially a plain chicken breast patty.
• California Chicken: Way more fun than the plain grilled chicken, keep everything here, though you can ask for the guacamole on the side, just to be safe.
