This comeback burger has big game energy.
The NBA Finals is heating up and so is the menu at Red Robin. Back by popular demand is their legendary burger that can double or triple your taste buds. This menu item is loaded with flavor, built for game nights, and complete with MVP-worthy vibes. Let’s stop with the teasing; time to get your game on!
Red Robin is thrilled to announce the return of its fan-favorite burger, the Buzzer Beater Bacon Cheeseburger! It’s back just in time for NBA Finals, bringing with it all the flavors you know and love. Available until June 13, this slam-dunk of a burger will be offered at participating Red Robin locations.
So, what’s special about the Buzzer Beater Bacon Cheeseburger? Well, first, you can enjoy it as a “three-pointer.” Meaning, it will be piled high with three juicy patties, six slices of American cheese, four strips of hardwood-smoked bacon, plus Red’s Secret Tavern Sauce™. If you’re looking for something a little lighter, there’s also the “two-pointer.” And yes, you guessed it—it has two beef patties, layered with four slices of American cheese, four strips of hardwood-smoked bacon, and Red’s Secret Tavern Sauce™.
The last time we saw Buzzer Beater Bacon Cheeseburger on the menu was April this year, during the college basketball season. And now, it’s making a grand comeback so you can feast like a Finals champ. Whether you’re in it for the game or just the grub, this menu item is a win! The Buzzer Beater Bacon Cheeseburger will be available for dine-in, to-go, and delivery, and don’t forget, it will be around until June 13 only.

From The Club
Well, that was quick…the Buzzer Beater Bacon Cheeseburger is back again on Red Robin‘s menu, and we’re definitely not complaining! If anything, I would say that bringing it back is a slam dunk move from Red Robin. We loved it before, and we’re gonna love it again; it’s hard to say no to the combination of beefy patties, bacon, and cheese! I would love to have mine with the new Mango Passion Lemonade. 😍
