Mark your calendars for Veterans Day, November 11th, because Red Robin Gourmet Burgers is keeping up one of the best dining traditions around! The chain is once again extending a heartfelt “thank you” to the nation’s military heroes by offering a complimentary meal to all veterans and active-duty military members. It’s a small, delicious gesture of gratitude that we love to see!
The star of the show this year is the Red’s Big Tavern Burger. If you haven’t had one, prepare yourself: it features a juicy, flat-top grilled beef patty piled high with melted American cheese, fresh toppings, and a generous slathering of that mysterious, yet delicious, Red’s Secret Tavern Sauce, all tucked into a toasted brioche bun. The best part? The meal comes with your choice of a bottomless side! Just bring your valid military ID, and Red Robin welcomes you to dine-in at participating locations.
The tradition runs deep for the company. Last year alone, Red Robin served over 100,000 burgers to military heroes nationwide. CEO Dave Pace notes that having veterans and active-duty military in their restaurants on this important day is a meaningful way to express gratitude for their “commitment and courage.” It’s clear this is more than just a promotion – it’s a core part of the brand’s culture.
But the appreciation doesn’t stop on November 11th. From October 27 through November 30, you can join in the tribute by participating in the “Buy a Veteran a Gift Card” program. Just stop by a participating Red Robin and purchase a gift card. These cards are then collected and donated to local veteran organizations, ensuring more meals for those who have served in communities across the country. It’s a great, simple way to extend the generosity beyond one day.
Whether you’re visiting to snag that complimentary Red’s Big Tavern Burger or buying a gift card to support the cause, Red Robin is making it easy to honor the nation’s heroes this fall.
