The Best Burgers at Red Robin — Ranked
The ranking below is justified only from the owner’s own article: the burgers it calls “Fan Fave” and the three it names as “the most loved burgers”. No outside review was used to rank them.
#1 Whiskey River® BBQ.
It is a Fan Fave in the article, it sits in the middle of the price range at $15.59, and at 870 calories it is lighter than most of the big builds. Smoky barbecue sauce, bacon and cheese on a full-size patty — this is the burger most regulars order first, and the one the article’s own Most Popular section leads with.
#2 Royal Red Robin.
One of the three most loved burgers named in the article’s opening, and a Fan Fave too. A fried egg on top makes it the most recognisable build on the menu, and at $12.29 it is the second-cheapest burger here, which makes it the best value among the signatures.
#3 Banzai.
A Fan Fave and the lowest-calorie burger on the whole list at 720 calories, thanks to the teriyaki-and-pineapple build. It is the best pick if you want a signature flavour without the heaviest calorie count, and it shows that a gourmet burger does not have to be the most indulgent one.
Honourable mentions: Red Robin Gourmet Cheeseburger, the original house burger and a Fan Fave at $13.69 and 830 calories, is the safest first order for anyone visiting for the first time. Bacon Cheeseburger, another of the three most loved, is the richest classic build at 1340 calories — order it when you want the full indulgent version. Prime Rib Stack Burger, the limited-time fall 2026 burger at $15.99 and 920 calories, is the one to try before it leaves the menu.
Tavern Burgers vs Gourmet Burgers — What’s the Difference?
Gourmet burgers are the 15 full-size signature builds on this page, priced from $12.19 to $18.89 and served with a Bottomless side. Tavern burgers are the smaller doubles — Red’s Double, Haystack Double and Bacon Ranch Double — and they live on the Big Yummm Deals menu, where they are sold as meal deals with a Bottomless side and a Bottomless beverage. Big Yummm meals start at $9.99 on the official Red Robin Big Yummm page. In short: order a Gourmet burger when you want the full-size signature build, and order a Tavern Double when you want the smaller burger as part of a value meal. The full Tavern Double guide is on the Big Yummm Deals page.
How to Customise Your Burger
Red Robin lets you change the patty, bun, cheese, condiments, sauces and sides instead of ordering every burger exactly as listed. That is the owner’s own guidance from the article’s customisation section, and it is how most regulars order.
Buns.
Keep the standard bun, or ask about a gluten-free bun or a lettuce wrap if you want fewer carbohydrates. An open-faced burger is another option at most locations. Always confirm at your location, because the available choices can vary.
Protein swaps.
You can choose a different type of protein, including grilled chicken, turkey, veggie patties and plant-based patties at designated locations. The Impossible patty and the veggie patty are the two meat-free options — the full guide is on the Veggie & More page.
Add-ons.
Add extra toppings, remove anything you do not enjoy, or ask for sauces on the side so you control how much goes on the burger. Extra cheese, bacon or a second patty will add calories, so if you are watching calories, ask for the sauce on the side first — it is the easiest saving on the whole menu.
Lowest-Calorie & Highest-Protein Burgers
Lowest calories on the owner’s data: Banzai, 720 Cal — the lightest full-size burger on the menu. Next lightest are Monster Double, 770 Cal, and Red Robin Gourmet Cheeseburger, 830 Cal. If you want the lightest meal, pair Banzai with a lighter Bottomless side such as Steamed Broccoli (160 Cal) instead of Steak Fries (600 Cal) — see the Bottomless page for the full side list. Highest calories: A.1.® STEAKHOUSE, 1350 Cal, then Bacon Cheeseburger, 1340 Cal, then Mad MadLove, 1300 Cal. For protein, the double-patty builds are the natural pick: Monster Double gives you two patties at only 770 calories on the owner’s data, which makes it the best protein-for-calories choice among the doubles. Exact protein grams are not in the owner’s article, so this page does not invent them — check the official nutrition information at your location for grams.
Burgers + Bottomless Fries — The Value Math
Every burger on this page comes with Bottomless Steak Fries, with free refills when you eat inside the restaurant — that is the owner’s article, not a promotion. A burger plus unlimited fries is already a full meal, so the value question is really about the drink and the side swap. A Bottomless beverage such as Freckled Lemonade® or a soft drink can be refilled too, and swapping Steak Fries (600 Cal) for a lighter Bottomless side keeps the same unlimited deal with fewer calories. If you want the cheapest full meal, the value move is a Tavern Double on the Big Yummm Deals page, where the meal deal bundles the burger with a Bottomless side and a Bottomless beverage from $9.99. If you want the best burger experience, the value move is a Gourmet burger at its listed price with the Bottomless side included — no extra charge for the refills.
