WellI got a phone call this afternoon from the regional mangager of Red Robin. He stated that Red Robin has a company policy of no firearms unless you are LEO. He went on further to state that most managers wont enforce this unless another customer complains. WhenI told him that it wasnt a customer that complained about me, but that it was an employee, he didnt really have an answer.
The funny part came when he suggestedI just CC. I replied that since they serve alcohol it would be illegal to do that, he didnt have a response to that either. I guess they just what the perception of no firearms, make the sheeple feel safe.

Did you inform him that they would be listed on public web pages as "gun unfriendly", and many people will avoid their restaurant altogether?

That's quite unfortunate for Red Robin. I had open carried there many many times with no issues.
They've now permanently lost a rather loyal customer just for having that policy. Such a shame they'll never see another one of my hard earned dollars. In this ecomony they'll be the ones doing the crying.
:lol:

Have you considered going beyond the regional manager and getting the answer straight from corporate? You're already in a non-winner as it stands now, so what do you have to lose? You know, on the off-chance that he's making up his own rules (because we've never seen managers do that before).

I've never had a problem in Red Robin.
You said it was one at a mall, it might be the mall has been bothering the manager since most malls try to ban firearms. Usually the business with an exterior entrance don't have to follow the firearm rules of the mall, but the mall's still try to be bossy.
I'd go to corporate. It wouldn't hurt to include a note that your "gun club/group" has had several outings at Red Robin with no trouble until this encounter. "Is Red Robin saying they no longer want our business?"
Some thoughts...

I ate at the Red Robin in Manassas on Rt 28 near the airport and "Guns and Ammo" yesterday, while OC'ing a Glock 27 in a Fobus paddle.
The woman in the booth next to us noticed and did a double take, but said nothing.
None of the staff said or did anything. We got very good service and the burger was excellent.
This was at least the third time I've eaten at this particular RR while OC'ing with the same result.

Oh, durn!
I just took my wife, my daughters-in-law, the big brother and the Birthday Girl to
Red Robin on Brook Road (US 1 north) at Virginia Center Commons outside of
Richmond.
Had never been there, and didn't realize that they served alcohol. Didn't even
NOTICE it until we were leaving . . . and I had my clunky-but-reliable .38 in my
official Million Mom March fannypack!
Will have to contact the manager. We dropped $80, plus $20 tip, on some very
fine burgers and fries today. If they do indeed have a no-gun policy, it will be the
last dollar they get from me.
After all, we DO have Fuddrucker's, and they are gun-friendly! See you on West
Broad on Tuesday evening!

Isay you go back there again OC of course and watch the reaction on the staff.
And demand the management with actual written corporate policy regarding issues on "Firearms and Regulations" which has to be signed by the relevant authority involved. Failure to do so... you can report this to Better Business Bureau and inform them you are doing so.
Remember just as them having every right to move youout of their property it is just as much right you have to ask them for documentation backing such claims in reference to policy. Failure to do so is a violation.
You imagine the rest

When the person in charge or their designee (owner, manager, security person) says "Leave", you have to go. (S)he doesn't have to say anything else, nor are they required to show you anything (written corporate policy, etc). If you don't leave, they can have you arrested for trespassing (as an unruly patron).
If you are/were unhappy with the service you received, complain to the BBB. But the BBB will support the business's right to refuse service to unruly patrons.
This has been pointed out many times in this forum.
