Red Robin Gourmet Burgers and Brews Brings "Comfort Food" to a Craveable New Level with Launch of Chicken & Waffles Burger

"Comfort food is a staple of the fall season," said Jonathan Muhtar, senior vice president and chief marketing officer at Red Robin. "Red Robin's new innovative menu items offer a playful spin on classic dishes and popular seasonal flavors that are sure to put a smile on our guests' faces."

The Bee's Knees Finest Chicken is Red Robin's mouth-watering twist on the classic chicken and waffles with an all-natural, tempura-fried chicken breast glazed in Angry Orchard^® honey, spicy jalapeno relish, citrus-marinated tomatoes and onions with shredded romaine on a Belgian waffle bun. To give guests s'more ways to indulge this fall, Red Robin is also rolling out S'mored Sweet Potato Fries, piping-hot sweet potato fries topped with toasted marshmallows, drizzled with hot fudge and sprinkled with a dash of sea salt, and extending the availability of its Bonfire S'mores^™ Milkshake.

Three Cheers for Cheese
In addition to the innovative comfort food offerings, Red Robin is introducing a new cheese-filled extension of its popular Red's Tavern Menu. The Cheese Lover's Lineup features three items for every cheese-loving guest to enjoy, each for only $6.99:

• Buzz Mac 'n' Cheese Tavern Double^™, made with two seasoned, fire-grilled patties piled high with creamy Buzz Mac 'n' Cheese, Pepper-Jack cheese and spicy Buzz Ranch sauce on a sesame seed bun with Bottomless Steak Fries^®
