GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo., Oct. 5, 2009 – In recognition of National Fire Prevention Week – Monday, Oct. 5 through Saturday, Oct. 10 – and seeing the importance of educating families and children to keep them safer, Red Robin Gourmet Burgers, Inc. (Red Robin) and the National Fire Safety Council, Inc. (NFSC) are urging parents and guardians to make fire safety and prevention a priority by distributing FREE Fire Prevention Activity Books to families at participating Red Robin® restaurants nationwide starting today, Oct. 5. The book includes family-friendly ways to discuss fire safety tips and the importance of having working smoke detectors and a fire escape plan. In addition, participating restaurants will donate 50 cents from every kid's meal sold during Fire Prevention Week to NFSC to support its fire safety initiatives.

Red Robin, long-known for its commitment to education and keeping families safer, is the first restaurant company ever to partner with NFSC on an in-restaurant public awareness and education fire safety program. Last year, 84 percent of all fire deaths occurred from home fires, and according to the U.S. Fire Administration, having a sound escape plan will greatly reduce fire deaths and protect a family's safety if a fire occurs. Educating families about fire safety and prevention – including creating a personalized fire escape plan, an activity included in the free Fire Prevention Activity Books – is the most important tool in the event of a fire.

"We appreciate the National Fire Safety Council's efforts to teach kids, families and citizens in the communities we serve about such an important issue," said Susan Lintonsmith, chief marketing officer for Red Robin Gourmet Burgers. "We're pleased to provide a wider platform for fire safety and prevention education to families through our efforts during National Fire Prevention Week at our restaurants across the U.S."

These fire facts from NFSC further illustrate the importance of knowing what to do in the event of a fire. The free Fire Prevention Activity Book, available Oct. 5 to 10 at participating Red Robin® restaurants, includes activities and checklists for families to address all of the below:

• Eighty percent of all fire deaths occur in the home where Americans spend over 50 percent of their time.
• A home can be consumed in flames in less than 5 minutes from when a fire starts.
• Almost two-thirds of reported home fire deaths from 2003 to 2006 resulted from fires in homes with no smoke alarms or no working smoke alarms; a working smoke alarm doubles your chances of surviving a fire.
• When smoke alarms fail to operate, it is usually because batteries are missing, disconnected or dead.
• Only approximately 23 percent of households have actually developed and practiced a home fire escape plan to ensure they could escape quickly and safely.

GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo., Aug. 18, 2009 – Today, the results of Restaurants & Institutions’ (R&I) 29th annual Consumers’ Choice in Chains study were announced, and Red Robin Gourmet Burgers, Inc.

This is the fourth time Red Robin has received a Top Burger Chain distinction from R&I, a monthly foodservice industry magazine reaching more than 120,000 subscribers.

In the Consumers’ Choice in Chains study R&I conducted, 3,000 consumers were asked to rate nearly 120 chain restaurants on eight customer satisfaction attributes: food quality, menu variety, value, service, atmosphere, cleanliness, reputation and convenience. Winners were named in 13 menu categories, including Top Burger, based on the scores given to each restaurant chain.

"This award holds great significance for us because it means our guests recognize the quality and deliciousness of our gourmet burgers and enjoy their experience in our restaurants, so much so they took the time to cast their vote for Red Robin as a Top Burger Chain," said Susan Lintonsmith, chief marketing officer at Red Robin. "Red Robin’s commitment to creative burgers and the level of service our team members provide is what keeps our guests coming back for more."

Now in its 29th year, the R&I Consumers’ Choice in Chains award is recognized as a key measure of success by restaurant chains across the country.

"The R&I Consumers’ Choice in Chains award is a people’s choice award that sends a powerful message to the industry and beyond, which says restaurants have earned business and guest loyalty, and the attributes that set them apart from others in each segment," said Dan Hogan, R&I’s publisher.

Award winners were honored in a ceremony on Aug. 17, 2009 at The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel in Dana Point, Calif.

GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo., July 28, 2009 — Starting today, burger enthusiasts nationwide will have the opportunity to taste America’s newest gourmet burger recipe while also supporting an important cause. From Tuesday, July 28 to Sunday, Sept. 13, Red Robin Gourmet Burgers, Inc. (Red Robin) will feature Idaho resident, 8-year-old Charlie Beckett’s Holy-Peño Burger in all U.S. Red Robin® restaurants. Fifty cents of each Holy-Peño Burger sold will be donated to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children® (NCMEC) to support its child safety initiatives. Since 2006, the company has donated more than $160,000 to NCMEC through its Kids’ Cook-Off program.

"Charlie’s Holy-Peño Burger was a hit with the Kids’ Cook-Off judges and we’re certain our guests will enjoy its unique combination of flavors while also supporting a very important organization,” said Susan Lintonsmith, Red Robin chief marketing officer. “We are excited to celebrate the creativity of young and aspiring chefs while we support the National Center’s child safety programs for the third year in a row.”

Red Robin, the gourmet burger expert for the past 40 years, selected Beckett’s Holy-Peño Burger recipe – a blackened burger topped with jalapeños, pepper-jack cheese and caramelized onions served on a ciabatta bun – as the winning creation to be sold in each of its U.S. restaurants during the third annual Kids’ Cook-Off Championship in December 2008. More than 14,000 kid-invented gourmet burger recipes were received for the third annual event, and the top 50 recipes – including Beckett’s Holy-Peño Burger – are now featured in a cookbook, along with back-to-school child safety tips from NCMEC, that is available for free download at www.redrobin.com.

Calling all kid chefs!
Currently, Red Robin is accepting entries for its fourth annual Kids’ Cook-Off. During a time when at-home activities with families are on the rise compared to six months ago, and 74 percent of families say they spend more time cooking together*, the Kids’ Cook-Off encourages kids to experiment in the kitchen for the chance to have their burger recipe selected as America’s next gourmet burger. Kids, ages six to 12, can submit a gourmet burger recipe and 100-word statement about why they deserve to win from Tuesday, July 28 to Sunday, Sept. 13, at their local Red Robin® restaurant or online at www.redrobin.com.

Fifty kid-invented gourmet burger recipes submitted to the Kids’ Cook-Off will be chosen for inclusion in a cookbook available online in summer 2010 at www.redrobin.com. Like Beckett’s Holy-Peño Burger, this year’s grand-prize-winning burger will be sold at all participating U.S. Red Robin® restaurants in 2010 to benefit NCMEC’s child safety initiatives.

To select the fourth annual Kids’ Cook-Off grand-prize-winning burger recipe, 10 semi-finalists will be invited to Denver, Colo., in December 2009 to compete in the Kids’ Cook-Off Championship. At the event, the finalists will make their burger for a panel of judges, including well-known chefs, Colorado-based food experts and Red Robin representatives. During the competition, three runners-up and a grand-prize winner will be selected.

All 10 semi-finalists will receive a trip to Colorado for the Championship with an accompanying parent or guardian, a $100 Red Robin gift card, a $150 VISA gift card, and an iPod nano as prizes**. In addition to the grand-prize winner’s gourmet burger being featured in every participating U.S. Red Robin® restaurant to support NCMEC’s child safety initiatives and included in a kids’ cookbook in summer 2010, the grand-prize winner will also receive a family vacation to Universal Orlando® Resort and a 12-month membership to the Kids Cooking Club®.

GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo. July 13, 2009 – This summer, Red Robin Gourmet Burgers, Inc. (Red Robin), in partnership with the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children® (NCMEC), is helping to increase awareness of child safety in communities across the country. Starting today, Monday, July 13, through Sunday, July 19, all participating* Red Robin® restaurants will give away FREE Child ID Kits to families with the purchase of a kids' menu item. In addition, Red Robin will donate 50 cents of every kids' meal sold between July 13 and 19 to NCMEC to support their child safety initiatives.

Child ID Kits can be a vital resource for parents who may be faced with the overwhelming situation of locating a missing or lost child. The ID Kit gives parents an easy way to document important information about their child such as physical characteristics, name, date of birth, fingerprints, sex, address and a current photograph. NCMEC strongly encourages families to complete an ID Kit and update the photographs of their children within the Kit every six months.

"Child ID Kits are a simple, yet effective method to help families maintain a current photograph and other descriptive details about their children, which can be one of the most important tools for law enforcement to use in the recovery of a missing child," said Ernie Allen, NCMEC president and CEO. "I would like to thank Red Robin for their generous support of our mission which helps us reach many more families across the country through our child safety initiatives."

Red Robin focuses its philanthropic support on local and national causes that promote the health, welfare and education of children, families and citizens in the communities it serves. Because Red Robin is all about kids and families, Red Robin aligned with NCMEC in 2006 because of both groups' steadfast commitment to child safety and has continued its partnership through the company's new restaurant openings and additional programs such as Red Robin's Kids Cook-Off.

"We are proud of our ongoing partnership with the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children and are honored to support the communities – and families – we serve through our ID Kit giveaways," said Eric Houseman, Red Robin president and chief operating officer. "We invite families to come to Red Robin to enjoy one of our more than two dozen high-quality gourmet burgers and kids' meals, receive their free child ID Kit, and help us support the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children."

In addition to the free ID Kit giveaways at participating* Red Robin® restaurants, the Red Robin® restaurants located in Huntsville, Ala.; Memphis, Tenn.; Raleigh, N.C.; Austin, Texas and Tulsa, Okla. will be taking portraits of kids to use in their ID Kit from 2 to 4 p.m. on Saturday, July 18, to help families capture an up-to-date photo of their child for their ID Kit.

Red Robin Gourmet Burgers, Inc., (NASDAQ: RRGB), a casual dining restaurant chain focused on serving an innovative selection of high-quality gourmet burgers in a family-friendly atmosphere, today announced it has begun phasing-in purchasing preferences toward ensuring that all of the eggs served in Red Robin’s company-owned restaurants come from suppliers that do not use battery cages.

As part of Red Robin’s corporate responsibility initiatives, which include the Company’s policy to support the humane treatment of farm animals within its supply chain, the Company intends to serve only cage-free eggs in its more than 300 company-owned restaurants by the end of 2010. Red Robin will make substantial progress toward its goal beginning in July 2009, when approximately a third of all eggs purchased by the company will be cage-free.

"Red Robin’s high standards for quality and unsurpassed Guest service remain our top priorities," said Susan Lintonsmith, senior vice president and chief marketing officer. "We recognize that the elimination of battery cages in egg production has become an increasingly important issue in the communities we serve."

In defining its cage-free egg initiative over the last several months, Red Robin has formed a working relationship with the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS).

"We sincerely appreciate the insights and ideas that the Humane Society has shared with Red Robin," said Lintonsmith. "We are pleased with their support for our battery cage-free egg commitments and look forward to continuing our dialog with the Humane Society on animal welfare issues."

• Southwest Ancho Chicken Salad – An ancho-grilled chicken breast on top of crisp greens tossed with a cool avocado-ranch dressing and layered with black beans, corn, grape tomatoes and Pepper-Jack and Cheddar cheeses. All topped with fried jalapeño rings, avocado slices, fresh cilantro and tortilla strips.
• Pomegranate Peach Limeade – This bottomless (all-you-can-drink) limeade mixes Monin® Lime, Peach and Pomegranate syrups and Sprite® together with ice and fresh lime wedges.

“We are pleased to offer our guests a couple new options this season focusing on spicy flavors that will turn up the heat just enough for any guest who enjoys spicy foods,” said David Woolley, executive chef of culinary development for Red Robin. “One of our goals at Red Robin is to create flavorful burgers, salads and entrées that leave our guests wanting more.
