Red Robin

SANTA MARIA. This California chain has established its reputation on gourmet-caliber burgers and a casual, retro-inspired setting that makes it popular with families. Colorfully named burgers include the teriyaki-marinated and grilled pineapple Banzai Burger, the Pot Roast Burger topped with melted cheddar and caramelized onions, and the award-winning Lauren's Portobello Burger with Monterey Jack and chipotle mayo. Desserts, too, earn high marks.
