Red Robin Brings Back 2 Value Burgers Alongside Its New Prime Rib Stack
Red Robin is giving burger lovers three new reasons to check the menu. Starting October 19, 2026, the restaurant chain will bring back two popular burgers, introduce a limited-time Prime Rib Stack Burger, and expand its value meals with options starting at $9.99.
The timing is interesting for Americans watching their restaurant spending. According to a September 2026 National Restaurant Association survey, 40% of consumers reported using more discounts or value promotions than usual, up from 35% in the previous quarter.
Two Popular Burgers Are Back on the Value Menu
Red Robin confirmed the return of the Bleu Ribbon Burger and Burnin’ Love Burger in an October 14 announcement. Both are now part of the chain’s Big YUMMM Deals lineup, offering customers familiar flavors with a side and beverage included.
Bleu Ribbon Burger
The Bleu Ribbon Burger combines Heinz 57 Sauce, bleu cheese crumbles, crispy onion straws, lettuce, tomato, and green chili aioli on a brioche bun. The combination brings together tangy sauce, creamy cheese, and crunchy toppings. For customers who enjoy contrasting flavors, this returning option offers plenty of variety without extra toppings.
Burnin’ Love Burger
Red Robin is also bringing back the Burnin’ Love Burger, which takes a spicier approach. It features fried jalapeño coins, salsa, pepper jack cheese, lettuce, tomato, and green chili aioli on a brioche bun. The jalapeños and pepper jack give it a different flavor profile than the Bleu Ribbon, making it the more obvious choice for diners who like heat.
Both returning burgers are currently listed in Red Robin’s $16.99 Big YUMMM Deals tier, rather than the $9.99 starting tier. Prices and availability may vary by location.
The New Prime Rib Stack Burger Offers Something Different
Prime Rib Stack Burger
The biggest new addition is the Prime Rib Stack Burger, which combines a hand-pressed beef patty with sliced prime rib. Monterey Jack cheese, caramelized onions, and garlic aioli complete the filling, all served on a black-and-white sesame seed brioche bun. Unlike the returning value-menu burgers, this offering is positioned as a premium, limited-time option.
The burger comes with a bottomless side for eligible dine-in orders, though Red Robin has not announced a uniform nationwide entrée price.
Brian Sullivan, Red Robin’s executive chef and vice president of Culinary & Beverage Innovation, explained the thinking behind the new burger in the company’s announcement.
“Burgers are in our DNA,” Sullivan said, describing the restaurant’s intention to introduce a more indulgent burger experience.
The company hasn’t announced an end date for the Prime Rib Stack, so anyone who wants to try it should check local menu availability.
Big YUMMM Deals Start at $9.99, but Prices Vary
The returning burgers are only part of Red Robin’s expanded value lineup.
According to the chain’s official Big YUMMM Deals menu, customers can choose from three advertised price tiers.
$9.99 Meal Options
The lowest-priced tier includes Red’s Double Burger, the Haystack Double Burger, and a seven-inch Donatos cheese or pepperoni pizza at participating locations. Each qualifying meal includes an eligible bottomless side and beverage when dining in. This is the starting price advertised for the overall Big YUMMM Deals promotion.
$14.99 Meal Options
The middle tier includes the Bacon Ranch Double Burger and the Signature Grilled Chicken & Broccoli entrée. Like the lower-priced options, these meals come with an eligible bottomless side and beverage for dine-in customers. This gives diners alternatives to the $9.99 tier burgers.
$16.99 Meal Options
The Bleu Ribbon Burger and Burnin’ Love Burger fall into this category. Their advertised meal price includes the entrée, an eligible bottomless side, and a bottomless beverage for dine-in customers. The exact charge may vary by restaurant.
The promotion has some important restrictions. Bottomless refills aren’t available for takeout or delivery, third-party delivery orders don’t qualify, and upgrades may cost extra.
More Than Burgers Are Joining the Menu
Red Robin’s October update also introduces additional appetizers, chicken options, drinks, and desserts.
New Chicken Wing Flavors
Customers can now choose Lemon Pepper wings or Lemon Pepper Buzz wings. The second option adds Red Robin’s Buffalo-style sauce to the lemon pepper seasoning. Both flavors expand the chain’s existing wing selection.
Spinach Artichoke Dip
The menu also welcomes a spinach artichoke dip topped with grated Parmesan cheese. It comes with warm tortilla chips for dipping. This addition gives customers another appetizer option beyond the burger-centered selections.
Two New Milkshakes
Dessert choices now include Cookie Dough and Salted Caramel Brownie milkshakes. The Cookie Dough version combines soft serve with cookie dough and toppings, while the Salted Caramel Brownie version features brownies, caramel, and chocolate. Both expand Red Robin’s existing milkshake selection.
Five New Bottomless Refreshers
Red Robin also introduced Tropical Dragon Fruit, Mango Passion Lemonade, Sunset Lemonade, Poppin’ Purple Lemonade, and Raspberry Limeade. Customers can add Red Bull to these drinks for an additional charge. The five-flavor lineup adds another beverage category to the chain’s existing drinks.
Why Red Robin Is Expanding Its Value Choices
Red Robin’s latest menu changes arrive as restaurant affordability remains a concern for many Americans.
The National Restaurant Association’s third-quarter 2026 survey found that half of consumers considered covering their expenses more difficult than a year earlier. Nevertheless, 53% reported dining at a restaurant during the survey’s reference week, showing that eating out remains part of household spending even as budgets come under pressure.
Red Robin has also invested in value promotions.
In its second-quarter 2026 financial results, the company reported a 1.3% increase in comparable restaurant revenue, alongside a 0.2% decline in guest traffic and a 1.5% increase in average guest spending.
Those figures help explain why attracting customers with different price points remains important. Red Robin’s latest menu combines lower-priced meals with premium offerings instead of focusing on one category.
How Customers Can Try the New Menu Items
The Prime Rib Stack Burger and returning value-menu burgers became available at participating Red Robin restaurants nationwide on October 19.
Customers can visit Red Robin’s website to explore the new offerings, find a nearby location, and review ordering options. Big YUMMM Deals are available for dine-in and qualifying orders placed directly through Red Robin’s website or app, although refill benefits apply only when dining in.
Prices, participation, and menu availability may vary by restaurant, so check the local menu before ordering.
With two returning favorites and a new prime rib creation, Red Robin’s latest menu offers more choices at different price points.
