Rockin' Robin? Do you mean "Red Robin"? If so, I tried the place once,
their burgers cost more than at the Friendly's across the street and the
one I had wasn't as good.

As for Fuddruckers, the closest one to me is at the Indian casino--that
tells me all I need to know about it.

Locally, they opened up a Red Lobster and an Olive Garden in identical
buildings side by side some years back. The Olive Garden is still going
strong but the Red Lobster lasted about a year--it's now a locally owned
bar and grill.
