Places of genius challenge us. They are difficult. They do not earn their place in history with ethnic restaurants or street festivals, but by provoking us, making demands of us. Crazy, unrealistic, beautiful demands.

Nothing kills creativity faster than a wall.

Geniuses are always marginalized to one degree or another. Someone wholly invested in the status quo is unlikely to disrupt it.

It's a silly argument, and unnecessary. Creativity doesn't happen "in here" or "out there" but in the spaces in between. Creativity is a relationship, one that unfolds at the intersection of person and place.

It?s not without its challenges, but it?s coming along. We do need restaurants in the downtown. That?s definitely part of our comprehensive master plan.

Supporting the local communities where our restaurants are located is an important part of the Red Robin culture. We invite everyone to come out and enjoy one of our 22 gourmet burgers and support the Augusta Fire Department during our grand opening week.
