Red Robin offers meatless options with Boca or Garden Burgers in some locations, but these options are not completely vegan. Currently, Red Robin does not have any specifically vegan menu items available. However, we are always happy to customize any of our salads or menu items to meet your dietary needs. Just ask your server and they will be happy to accommodate you in any way they can.
Would you be able to tell me which type of each burger you use or which ingredients make them nonvegan?

Thanks again for your e-mail and for being a Red Robin guest. We look forward to serving you again soon!
Would you happen to know the name of the Boca patty that Red Robin is currently using?
Thank you for contacting Red Robin regarding our Boca Patty. The Boca Patty we use is produced by Kraft. It is similar to the Non-Vegan Boca Burger patties that are found in grocery stores, meaning they contain cheese. Our Boca patties are produced to be a restaurant size, so they are larger then the product on sale in grocery stores.
I hope this helps!
I'm sorry to bother you again but I've been told by a few people that when they've gone to a Red Robin they asked if the burgers were vegan and were told they were - some had their server check the package. Is it possible that some restaurants are buying different patties?
Red Robin's national specification for Boca Burgers is the patty containing cheese. A restaurant may have ordered the vegan product on accident in the past; but to the best of our knowledge, the only Boca product we carry is the Non-Vegan variety.
I apologize for any misunderstanding or inconvenience this may have caused.
