For several years, the gourmet hamburger chain Red Robin has offered Boca Burgers or Gardenburgers containing eggs and/or dairy products. Recently, we received reports that Red Robin offers the vegan Boca variety.

The VRG asked Red Robin to confirm this report and Jennifer, a customer service representative, has confirmed it. The Boca Original Vegan Burger is offered at all of its 442 US locations EXCEPT at the following nineteen Red Robin restaurants:

• Lake Havasu City, AZ
• Tucson, AZ
• Tempe, AZ – 1375 W. Elliot St.
• Enfield, CT
• Manchester, CT
• Milford, CT
• Waterford, CT
• West Hartford, CT
• Holyoke, MA
• Millbury, MA
• Wilbraham, MA
• Pharr, TX
• Salt Lake City, UT
• American Fork, UT
• Murray, UT
• Provo, UT
• Layton Hills, UT
• South Jordan, UT
• West Valley, UT

Red Robin told us that the vegan burgers are prepared apart from all animal products. Travis, a customer service representative, recommended that interested customers should ask the general manager at a particular Red Robin for details "on exactly how they are prepared."
