Red Robin’s $20 Bottomless Burger Pass: What the Catch Was

Red Robin’s $20 Bottomless Burger Pass covered one burger and side each day in May 2025, but its $22 daily cap, restrictions and sellout limited the deal.

Red Robin’s $20 Bottomless Burger Pass was a limited May 2025 offer, not a deal customers can buy or redeem now. It covered one gourmet burger and a bottomless side per day from May 1 through May 31, but each day’s value was capped at $22, unused value expired daily, and the passes sold out after launch.

How the $20 pass worked

Red Robin offered the pass for National Burger Month in 2025. Customers could try to buy one beginning April 17, with a limit of one pass per customer. It was intended for use at participating U.S. locations and covered one gourmet burger plus a bottomless side each day during the 31-day window, May 1–31, 2025. Contemporaneous coverage of the offer reported those terms.

The reported maximum potential value was $682, calculated from 31 daily caps of up to $22. That was a theoretical ceiling, not a guaranteed saving: a customer had to visit often enough, choose items within the redemption rules, and otherwise spend enough to use the daily allowance.

What the catch was

The $22 daily ceiling did not roll over

Redemption was reported to be capped at $22 per day. Any unused amount expired at the end of that day, rather than accumulating for a later visit. Someone who could not visit regularly—or whose eligible order cost less than the cap—could not recover the unused value.

Some orders and combinations were excluded

Contemporaneous reporting said the pass could not be combined with other offers, including Red Robin Royalty rewards, and could not be used for gift cards, catering, or third-party delivery. Substitutions, additions, or premium selections could cost extra. These detailed restrictions were reported offer terms; an accessible official terms page was not available in the cited coverage. See the contemporaneous offer report.

The release was limited, and the buying site failed

The passes were limited in quantity and sold out. Red Robin told USA TODAY that heavy traffic caused its website and supporting systems to crash. The report did not give the number of passes available or say how many attempted purchases were affected, so the outage should not be taken to mean every buyer had the same experience. USA TODAY’s report on the sellout and outage.

Could the pass actually save $20?

There is no single savings figure that applies to every customer. The practical comparison would have depended on how many days the customer could visit, the usual cost of the burger and side selected, whether the location participated, and any extra charges for premium items or modifications. The $22 cap and $682 maximum potential value alone do not establish what a particular customer saved.

Can you still get the Red Robin Burger Pass?

No. The pass was valid only from May 1 through May 31, 2025, and the limited release sold out. The contemporaneous coverage does not establish a current 2026 pass or another available promotion.

The Royalty sweepstakes was separate

A separate May 2025 promotion reportedly gave Red Robin Royalty members who bought a burger and beverage while logged into their account at participating locations a chance to win burgers for a year and other prizes. It was a sweepstakes, not an alternative way to obtain or extend the pass, and it was also limited to that May. Contemporaneous report on the separate sweepstakes.
