According to its website, an OSU area location is coming in 2012. A liquor license pegs it to the 1700 block of North High St., which puts it somewhere near the Newport Music Hall.

I think ‘gourmet burgers’ are getting near critical mass.

Whatever burger it is they have with the guacamole on it is fantastic.

yup, I admit it.

I think they changed up their burgers a few years ago. They used to be (or at least seem) pretty hand-made and fresh, but the last time we went they seemed to be frozen and pre-formed into perfect circles.

Otherwise, I’ve always enjoyed the food at Red Robin. Not bad, and very family-friendly. Will be interesting to see how this one next to OSU feels compared to the others in Columbus.

How much space do they need? There are still a couple of storefronts available in the new building where the String Shoppe was located (just south of the Newport). Those seem kinda small for a Red Robin…

This is a new fast casual version of Red Robin, I think it is more geared toward takeout. Think Red Robin Express…

So like a Five Guys version of Red Robin?

exactly…

I also think we’re in a cupcake bubble at the moment.

No, no… you’re thinking of Cake Pops:

Cupcake Bubbles will be the next hot dessert in 2012. ;)

As a parent, I love taking my kid to Red Robin. Very family friendly place. The burgers aren’t bad either, and lots of variety.

If there was a fast-casual version near me, I’d go for sure. Seems like a great model/fit for that area.

They could fit a regular sized Red Robin in the building where Buffalo Wings and Rings used to be. It’s been empty for awhile and is already set up similar to RR.

[NerosNeptune]

It should be open soon, they have a sign on the building for Red Robin Burger Works. Looks like its a new concept, they have one in Denver and now this one. From their website, they have a few of the top pre-made burgers from the regular RR, or you can build your own burger (Fuddruckers?)

Its at 12th and High where String Shoppe used to be.
