My husband and I are HUGE Red Robin fans!  Seriously, what is better than delicious burgers and bottomless fries?!  I bought my husband a grill for Father’s Day and decided we better break it in right.  We whipped these burgers up and they were amazing!

    Jeepers, this looks so great! I adore the combination of teriyaki and pineapple, and how brilliant to marinate the meat and the pineapple in the sauce! This will be perfect for our BBQ coming up! Thanks!

    I love the Banzai with Chicken - I'll have to try this but with chicken instead of hamburger!

      I realize I'm answering a question that's over a year old, but here's something cool to know. If you go to Red Robin and ask, they will usually (depending on who is running the store that day) sell you a large styrofoam cup of their teriyaki sauce. I haven't done that in a few years, but last time it was about $3 for one of those cups. I'd imagine it'd take more than one to reach the 2 cups the recipe calls for, but it'd be worth it. Whatever brand of teriyaki they use, it's definitely my favorite I've ever had. As I speak, my wife is on her way home with two Banzais. Mmmm nom nom.

    Our family loves Red Robin too! My hubby and Son #3 have recently discovered the bottomless Root Beer Floats ... maybe a bad discovery. I need to try your recipe soon :)

    Yoshidas original teriyaki is good too, it is less of a glaze and soaks into the meat and pineapple well. I marinate the patties and pineapple in the morning, and once burgers are done, brush a little more teriyaki sauce. So YUMMY, and drippy good.

    Sounds so good, minus the mayo - I cant do mayo on a burger, just not my thing. I have to find a gluten free teryaki for this.

    Thanks for taking time to share the recipe. From one Bonzai fan to another. I had a hard time with finding the right balance of teriyaki sauce and sweetness. I ended up putting brown sugar and molasses in a soy glaze sauce. Seem to kind of bring it all together. Thanks again
