Not all Red Robins are smokefree.
This one went smokefree recently; the owner also runs the Red Robin in Neshaminy, which is also now smokefree inside. Red Robin is a T.G.I.Friday's-like place, with gourmet burgers and trendy entrees and salads. Besides bottomless soft drinks, their fries are bottomless, and so is their strawberry lemonade (with strawberries in the drink). The lavish desserts are a bit pricey, but otherwise the meals run about average for this type of restaurant. Service is very friendly. Not sure if there's a bar, but they have beer, wine and mixed drinks.
