Look, we all love the holidays, but they are typically packed with parties, gatherings, catching up with friends you haven’t seen in months. Sometimes you just want to grab dinner somewhere fun for a break from the busy-ness. That’s where Red Robin’s comes in. They’ve rolled out some clever menu deals this season that give you way more options and variety than your typical night out.

Mix, Match, and Enjoy Your Meal

Here’s what I love about their new Two For You Combo: it’s dinner for two for around $20. You’re each picking an entrée from four solid options: Whiskey River BBQ Ribs, Crispy Fried Shrimp, Clucks (chicken tenders), or Whiskey River BBQ Chicken Breast. Plus you’re getting coleslaw and your choice of a bottomless side (options include steak fries, steamed broccoli, a side salad, Yukon chips, and more). That’s solid value for a weeknight dinner or a quick bite between holiday errands.

The Appetizer Situation Just Got Interesting

If you’re more of an apps-and-drinks kind of crew, the Triple YUMMM Platter is where it’s at. Starting at $16.99, you’re picking three appetizers from their lineup. We’re talking Pretzel Bites with New Belgium Fat Tire beer cheese, those famous Onion Rings with campfire mayo, Boneless Chicken Bites tossed in whatever sauce you’re feeling, Crispy Fried Pickles, Zucchini Fries, or Cheesy Mozzarella Twists.

This is genius for groups who can never agree on one thing. Someone wants something cheesy? Someone else is all about the fried pickles? Done and done. No more appetizer negotiations.

That $9.99 Burger Deal Deserves Your Attention

Here’s the deal winner if you’re dining solo or just want a solid meal without the fuss: Red Robin’s $9.99 Big Yummm Burger Deal. You’re getting a Red’s Double Tavern Burger, a bottomless side, AND a bottomless beverage. For ten bucks.

For a few more bucks you can customize this one. Add an extra patty or bacon for. Want avocado or sautéed mushrooms? You can get both. Bump up your side to garlic fries or sweet potato fries. Even if you go a little wild with the add-ons, you’re still looking at a really reasonable tab for a sit-down meal.

(Just note this one’s dine-in only at participating locations.)

The Sweet Stuff

Red Robin’s OREO Candy Cane Milkshake is back! But only through January 4. Vanilla soft serve with peppermint and OREO cookies, topped with whipped cream, crushed candy cane, and OREO crumbs – it’s basically liquid holiday cheer.

Gift Card Perk

You can combine efforts here: dine out using one of these deals, and grab some gift cards so you’re technically Christmas shopping while you eat. Red Robin is a running bonus buck promotion through the end of December: buy $50 in gift cards, get a $10 bonus buck to use later; buy $100 and get $25 bonus bucks.

Bottom Line

Red Robin’s figured out that smart holiday dining isn’t about cutting corners: it’s about getting more of what you actually want for your money. Whether you’re sharing apps, trying new combos, or just want a solid burger without the guilt, these deals make it way easier to say yes to dining out this season.
