To celebrate the release of the new film 'X-Men: Apocalypse,' Red Robin is bringing back its popular Berserker X Burger for a limited time. While the burger originally made its debut back in 2013 to promote the film 'The Wolverine,' is a now returning to the restaurant's menu to support a new cinematic release.
Just as the name suggests, the Berserker X Burger is a decadent sandwich that is overflowing with toppings. The burger itself consists of a fire-grilled beef patty topped with melted cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, spicy pickles, zesty aioli and Sriracha-flavored onion straws. The burger is then served on a special brioche bun branded with an X. To top it all off, those who order the burger are encouraged to pair the spicy dish with a refreshing pint of Samuel Adams Nitro IPA.
To further promote the new film, the chain is also offering a free ticket to see X-Men: Apocalypse with the purchase of a special-edition $25 Red Robin gift card.
