They actually forgot to put the hamburger in the burger.
Not kidding!
I didn't notice at first, because I got that Whiskey River BBQ one that comes with the piles of 'onion straws'. I took a bite, and didn't notice any beef. I thought maybe it'd been put together crooked, and tried one more bite. Still no beef.
So I took the 'lid' off, and sure enough, NO BEEF!!
The waitress was back in a bit for the status check... she was stunned! She took it back and said she'd yell at the guys in the kitchen. We were seated where we could see the expediting area and part of the kitchen. She did indeed appear to be chewing them out. Soon several servers were gathered around, it seemed to be quite the big deal. Some of them were laughing and teasing the kitchen guys. My server pointed out our table to everyone, as they were all glancing over and trying not to be obvious.
I had a new burger in about three minutes. A few minutes later, the manager came over to apologize, saying she couldn't believe such a crazy mistake had happened.
Since I didn't act all pissed off, nothing was comped or no free dessert or anything. Heh.
But I really wasn't pissed off ~ actually, I thought it was pretty damned funny! I mean,
RED ROBIN forgot to put the hamburger in the burger?! Really?!
And... of all the people for them to make a mistake like that with! HA!!
However... now I suppose I might be considered 'memorable'... so far as returning as a shopper... *sigh*... I guess I'l find out.
