People here have a high desire for nice restaurants and we can see that happening.

It?s not without its challenges, but it?s coming along. We do need restaurants in the downtown. That?s definitely part of our comprehensive master plan.

There was clearly a desire to move as quickly as possible to get as many people as possible into permanent homes. And it was just as clear that there was no way to do this in a short year.

Supporting the local communities where our restaurants are located is an important part of the Red Robin culture. We invite everyone to come out and enjoy one of our 22 gourmet burgers and support the Augusta Fire Department during our grand opening week.

People are still going to meet in restaurants. They may just have to pay their own way.

Sit around the bars, talked to people, ate in the restaurants, and chatted with the old ladies on the street. Fishermen are pretty much that way.
