"At Red Robin, we're constantly exploring and innovating unique combinations of new ingredients and we find guests are always hungry for seasonally-appropriate menu items," said Lee Dolan, senior vice president and chief marketing officer at Red Robin. "Our Oktoberfest-inspired burger, which also serves as the newest addition to our Finest Line is a great way to fall into the season and what better way to celebrate Oktoberfest than with burgers and brews!"

To complement the UberBurger and build on the flavors of fall, Red Robin is rolling out its Cheesy Beer Brat – a tender Johnsonville^® bratwurst served on a cheesy baguette with roasted-garlic aioli, bruschetta, onion, tomato and beer cheese dipping sauce – and expanding its appetizer category with Great Northern Poutine Fries. Red Robin's twist on a Canadian classic features its famous steak fries covered in thick brown gravy and loaded with garlic aioli, sauteed mushrooms and fried cheese curds.

This fall also marks the return of the popular Spiced Pumpkin Pie Milkshake. The remixed traditional American dessert made with real Libby's^® pumpkin pie filling, vanilla soft serve, nutmeg and graham cracker crumbs, pairs perfectly with Red Robin's Oktoberfest-inspired menu, whether raising a stein or a shake in honor of the season.
