According to Red Robin's website, the restaurant chain's founder, Jim Marsh, was inspired by the robin redbreast after seeing the bird while on a fishing trip in Canada. The name Red Robin is also a play on the popular children's book character Little Red Riding Hood.
In terms of height, all Red Robin locations are two-story buildings with an exterior height of approximately 30 feet. The interior of each restaurant varies slightly in terms of ceiling height, but is generally around 20 feet tall. This means that the average height of a Red Robin building is approximately 50 feet tall.
