    We stopped for lunch yesterday while in the area school shopping for my college age son. We…read morestarted with the fried pickles and mozzarella sticks. Both were fantastic. The cheese had a good bite. It didn't all string out leaving you with en empty cheesestick. The fried pickles were crispy and hot. Out server, Amanda was the absolute best. She was polite and on the ball. Aways ready with a refill and checking on us. I had my old fav. The burning love burger with chicken. My son had the scorpion. My mom had the Buffalo blue. Our sandwiches weren't as great as they'd been before, but they were edible and the fries were great of course. Amanda even offered more. I know they are bottomless but no one normally offers So while the burgers weren't spectacular, everything else was on point. We would go back.

    Well, today my girlfriend and I decided to, after a few years, give Red Robin another chance. Some…read moreyears back, we went there, and were seated at a dirty table. From there, the food was cold, and the waitress ignored us as she just payed attention to our phone. So, today, we thought, let's give this place another chance. There was no one at the greeting desk. We (and also a few other customers), waited and waited. The restaurant was not crowded, it was almost empty. They could not have been overwhelmed. After several minutes, it became apparent that no one was going to come to greet us. Two visits, two instances of terrible service. It is an insult for a restaurant to give the obvious message that I am not appreciated as a customer, and that I don't even warrant ANY attention from them when I try to patronize their business. Sorry, Altoona Red Robin, for attempting to have lunch at your business.

    After being out in the area my Dad started grumbling about how he was hungry. When Dad wants…read moresomething to eat, you find some place to eat. I wasn't in the mood for going to a sit down restaurant, so fast food it was. Yes, before I get further into this review, this is the infamous McDonald's that so many people wrote (and it appears to be that they are still doing so) bad reviews. So if you see a review with reference to pest control or cleanliness of the restaurant, bypass them. Most of those reviews are from people that are from out of state, probably never been to Pennsylvania, and most certainly have never been to Altoona. Not a dis, just a fact. When we got here, I have to say that the parking lot was really confusing. Even though this sits on the main drag through the area, it abuts a residential neighborhood. I was trying to circle around the lot to head back to the front (it is one-way) I didn't think you could because only looked like the drive thru was the only lane. Not to worry, there is a road, more of the size of an alley, that you can make your way back up around. This location has indoor and outdoor seating. We chose to dine inside. Ordering wise, I chose the kiosk, tapped away at the screen, got a table number and then headed to find a seat. Dining room was decently clean even though it was busy with people. Another note on the dining area, there is a lot of space taken up for things that shouldn't be there. There is one small alcove that has two tables, but not for customers, they have a bunch of stuff there for people to apply to work there, and possible they do job interviews there. Then there is the area towards the bathrooms, large enough to accommodate several people and great enough if you want to be antisocial. However, this area was kind of off limits. You know, the area where said incident took place. The staff seem to have taken up roots here. At the end of my meal I did head back here to use the restroom and almost every table had something on it. Laptops, paperwork, general nonsense items. That way no one could sit in this area. I understand, but if it is a busy and full dining room, customers should come first. As far as the food, the order was almost correct. The prepared items were definitely right, but when our food was brought to the table there were no drinks. When we brought that up the employee asked if we ordered from the kiosk. Obviously we did, why else were you delivering the food to the table, with the table number on it? Also, that shouldn't matter if we ordered at the kiosk or not, either fill the cups in the back and at the least give us our cups. When I did go fill our cups after finally getting them, that was a hassle. We both wanted sweet tea, but the two containers were both nearly empty. It was like I was standing there waiting for the tea to be freshly brewed. For the remainder of the meal, nothing special, it's McDonald's. I still am not the biggest fan, but will make do. I am also fairly sure this location does not warrant the low, fake reviews it currently has.

    I'm annoyed. I ordered food online to pick it up and the place was packed which was expected for…read morelunchtime. I walked in and was waiting patiently when workers came from the back and went to go get a drink break. These workers weren't paying attention, and they smelt awful. I understand not everyone can afford deodorant but when you get hired at a job, hygiene is an important topic they discuss. I ignored it and continued to wait for my food when a kid with special needs came from behind the counter to get a drink. He stood there biting his fingers in front of the fountain drink machine he looked back and continued to bite his fingers in front of it. I was pissed as I too was waiting to get my drink which wouldn't be a big deal if I hadn't already waited for a total of 35 minutes. He didn't wash his hands at all either which is disgusting. I too work in food and at a restaurant and I understand they were busy but fast food is intended to be quick. I could've sat down at a restaurant and got my food out quicker. Not to mention all the workers always have a terrible attitude. I am an incredibly empathetic person and can understand how stressful it is but I am extremely disappointed in that establishment.
