Red Robin‘s Red’s Big Tavern Burger page is the star of this year’s Veterans Day celebration. On November 11, 2025, veterans and active-duty military members can enjoy a complimentary Red’s Big Tavern Burger with a bottomless side at participating Red Robin locations nationwide.
The offer (served with a side of gratitude) continues the brand’s long-standing tradition of honoring those who serve. Additionally, guests can spread the love through the “Buy a Veteran a Gift Card” program, which helps provide free meals to local heroes throughout November.
A heartfelt thank-you: burger-style 🍔
This Veterans Day, Red Robin Gourmet Burgers, Inc. (NASDAQ: RRGB) is turning gratitude into something you can actually taste: a juicy burger!
On November 11, all veterans and active-duty service members are invited to enjoy a free Red’s Big Tavern Burger with a bottomless side (yes, endless fries or whatever your heart desires) just by showing a valid military ID.
In 2024, Red Robin proudly served over 100,000 free burgers to service members across the nation, and the tradition continues stronger than ever this year.
“Each year, we take the opportunity to honor the military heroes among us by offering a complimentary burger and bottomless side for Veterans Day,” said Dave Pace, CEO of Red Robin.
What makes the Red’s Big Tavern Burger so special?
This isn’t your average burger; it’s a carefully crafted classic:
- Flat-top grilled beef patty cooked to juicy perfection
- Melted American cheese
- Red’s Secret Tavern Sauce™ (we’ll never know what’s in it, but it’s magic)
- Fresh lettuce and vine-ripened tomato
- Toasted brioche bun
Feeling fancy? You can add extras or premium sides for a small charge because even gratitude can come with bacon.
