2011-12-09 Lunch @ Red Robin

803 Thurlow Street, Vancouver, BC

Red Robin (Robson) on Urbanspoon
The boring menu at Red Robin rarely changes, but the food has always been quite consistent.  This restaurant chain has been around forever and I have always like it.  This visit was another work lunch gathering and we opted to come here since it's only two blocks away.
To start, I ordered Red's Popcorn Shrimp.  The breading was a bit hard and the shrimp was bland.  I did not like the accompanied sweet dip.  I wouldn't order this again.
 
I had the Jim Beam BBQ Burger, a somewhat new addition to its burger menu.  It came on a brioche bun with BBQ sauce and caramelized onions.  For extra charge, I added onion straws for good measure.  With the presence of a sweet BBQ sauce, the caramelized onions were not needed, the burger became too sweet.  The onion straws did add a nice added a nice texture to the burger, but nothing fancy.  Overall, I enjoyed the burger and I'd order it again, however, I'd hold off the caramelized onions and add the onion straws instead.
