Red Robin (NASDAQ: RRGB) is a chain of casual dining restaurants founded in 1969 in Seattle, Washington, USA and now headquartered in Greenwood Village, Colorado. The chain is best known for gourmet burgers and bottomless steak fries as well as its strawberry lemonade.
The first Red Robin still stands at the corner of Furhman and Eastlake Avenues E. in Seattle, at the southern end of the University Bridge. This building dates from 1940 and was first called Sam's Tavern. The owner, Sam, sang in a barber shop quartet and could frequently be heard singing, "When the red, red robin goes bob, bob, bobbin' along." (Henry Woods) He liked the song so much that he eventually changed the name to Red Robin. As of February 2007, there are 307 locations across the United States and 18 in Canada.
