Dining Out Again

I went our for lunch with my friend, Kathy, today, and we decided to try Red Robin's, as she loves it there, and I was curious to see their gluten-free options. 

I went for the cheeseburger with lettuce instead of a bun, and I had a salad instead of fries with it.  It was tasty, but not as good as Soda Jerks.  I got way more food at Soda Jerks and for less money.  It felt like a bit of a rip-off to get a beef patty with basically a bunch of lettuce (the salad had a few chunks of tomato and cucumber, but that's about it).  It also came with croutons, after I had told the waitress that I was eating gluten-free (not a huge deal for me as I easily picked them out, but it would be a big deal for someone with a wheat allergy).  They also charged for my club soda, which doesn't usually happen in restaurants (at least the ones I've been to), and they charged extra for lime juice to put in my club soda.  So all in all, the food was good, and they had a good selection of gluten-free foods, but I wouldn't say it was great value for the money.

I did, however, have a nice visit with my friend, so that made it worth it!
