There’s some special ingredients that go in to making a restaurant deliciously kid-friendly. And for a couple of decades now, Red Robin Gourmet Burgers has nailed it. It’s about toddler-approved bottomless spaghetti and parent-approved grilled chick-on-a-stick. It’s great milkshakes, Freckled Lemonade (strawberry lemonade), apple pie bites and messy mud pie, plus some seriously tasty burgers for which adults always seem to find an excuse to bring the family back. But more importantly, says Eric Frey, general manager at the Boulder location, “We connect with the family and their children. We go out of our way. We talk directly to the kids.” Here kids are free to order for themselves, even if it takes awhile; bring 30 friends to celebrate a birthday in style; and jump around with a balloon in one hand and chicken fingers in the other. It’s just that kind of place.
