ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS

       On July 24, 2002, Red Robin Gourmet Burgers, Inc. entered into a $40
million revolving credit agreement with Wachovia Bank, National Association and
other financial institutions named therein. The revolving credit facility
expires on July 24, 2005. Red Robin intends to use its borrowings under the
revolving credit facility to fund the construction and acquisition of new
restaurants, to refinance existing indebtedness and for general corporate
purposes, including working capital. On July 24, 2002, Red Robin borrowed
$11,250,000 under the revolving credit facility to repay existing indebtedness,
of which $11,000,000 is currently outstanding. The outstanding amount currently
bears interest at 3.58%.

       The facility is secured by a first priority pledge of all of the
outstanding capital stock of Red Robin's subsidiaries and a first priority lien
on all or substantially all of Red Robin's tangible and intangible assets. The
credit agreement requires that Red Robin comply with a maximum level of capital
expenditures restriction and that it maintain a maximum leverage ratio,
initially set at 2.0 to 1.0, as well as a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio,
initially set at 1.25 to 1.0, and a minimum EBITDA requirement, initially set at
$27.5 million and 90% of the prior twelve month period EBITDA. The credit
agreement restricts Red Robin's ability to, among other things, engage in
mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures or sale-leaseback transactions, sell
assets, incur indebtedness, make investments, create liens and pay dividends.

       The credit agreement is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as
Exhibit 1.1 and the information contained within the credit agreement is
incorporated herein by reference.
