Red Lobster

Why do I always fall for the commercials that show juicy crab, lobster and shrimp?! You’d think I would know better by now, I mean it is a chain.
My experience with chains are that the service is normally consistently good with over salted food, or bad with over salted food.
This experience was the latter.
The one thing I will say Red Lobster has going for it, is pretty delicious cocktails. I am normally a beer and wine kind of gal, but their fruity beverages enticed the partner and I, so I went for the sangria and the partner went for the strawberry mojito. Both were fruity and delicious with just the right amount of an adult bite.
I ordered the snow crab legs and they were good, but they were only steamed with no flavor. The butter was too salty and the potato was overcooked.
The partner ordered the lobster linguini with a Maine lobster tail on the side. The lobster on both was over done and rubbery. So if your jaw needs a good workout, I’d recommend it, otherwise save your Benjamins for something local with better quality.

Great place endless shrimp on the menu. Full to the rim. Kids loved it but they need to learn to me more shrimp. Pss

I can’t say enough about the service! Our waiter (I forgot his name!) was amazing! 2 of us got the endless shrimp and we couldn’t keep up with him!!! We tried every type and they were hot, fresh and deliciously! My husband wasn’t very hungry and got the potato soup, which he didn’t care for, but our waiter did everything he could to make it right. I hadn’t been to Red Lobster in at least 5 years after the continuous poor service and sub-​par food. But that has CHANGED! We will be coming back for sure!

I just ate their endless shrimp yesterday w my BF and it was so great and filling! Definitely too heavy but they were so prompt w each plate. We never had to ask for a refill for our teas or our plates never piled up, the waiter was awesome too. As for the endless shrimp we had each type they offered and they were all extremely hot and tasty and it was almost overwhelming bc we were half way into our first plates when he brought out our second plates and it was just way too much but I’m happy to say I was surprised by the good and fast service.

The food was excellent tonight… The server was great. We have been to other Red Lobsters and we have not been satisfied. Tonight the food was fresh and tasted just how I have been imagining… Yum yum… I would definitely cone back to this location…

Ate crabfest crab linguine yesterday and got food poisoning… my mom and sister had to send their food back to get it fresh and it was still hard. Wont be back !

Typical experience that I’ve had here nothing that wowed me and it’s always too busy for my taste.

Thank you to the manager currently on duty with dealing with my allergic reaction in a speedy and efficient manner

For me it was bad, lobster was dry and tough. There is no happy hour. Just very disappointed

Service is always good here. The wait is never long. Food is good. I don’t think it’s the best seafood, def can find it better. But for a lot more expensive of course.

So we showed up and was told there will be a 20 min wait for a party of 6. After walking around for 30 min (still 20 to go I was just told) they have left five 6 tops vacant the entire time. Either they are severely understaffed or just straight up lazy. Congrats Melissa Baca. You are failing miserably as a manager!

I was in the mood for some seafood, but I didn’t want to sit and dine in at a restaurant. I decided to call and place an order to go. The person in the phone was very pleasant. My order only took about 15 minutes. When I arrived I was greeted by a very welcoming host and was directed to the bar for my to go order. The bartender Dallas was very professional and even brought my order out on a platter and made sure everything was correct before putting it in the to go bag. The food is delicious as always and too expensive. Overall this was a very pleasant experience. I would definitely return and I recommend this restaurant to anyone.

First of all the service was great, portion size was a little big for the senior crowd. I had the steak, was done just how I like it, but it was a little tuff, and for 22 dollars it should have been more tender. The overall impression was good, clean, and the server was knowable about the menu and specials. I know they rattle the specials off all day, but they need to slow down so every can really hear what they are saying.

Went there last night (1÷9÷15) around 8:30 to celebrate our anniversary because my wife was craving lobster.
Food came out pretty quick. As soon as i got my food, my server (cody i believe) was closing the section down. Using vacuum brush, moving tables etc. seriously? Are you expecting us to enjoy our dinner with full of dust? Or forcing us to eat asap and get out? If the store closes at 11pm, do that cleaning business afterwards not in the middle of our $ 80 dinner time.
Such a bad experience. Will never go there again.

It’s a Red Lobster, well kept and usually a wait but not too long. If you’re not familiar with Red Lobsters, it’s a decent American style seafood chain and make sure you try the biscuits.

I went in here with my girlfriend and her daughter to get the all you can eat shrimp. Things started off slow… sat there for 10 minutes before being greeted. Finally, our server, Annie E. came over and said she would be with us in just a minute. Ok… not a problem. Then another server came over just to take our drink order. We gave it to her and asked if she could take our food order as well? When that happened, Annie came over right away and took our order. Annie seemed nice from the beginning.
We ordered the shrimp and she asked if we wanted to put in 2 refills right now, since they take about 15 minutes to come out, and this would expedite things. Score! I was loving this already.
Then everything went downhill.
The food took almost 30 minutes to come out. At least the refills were coming soon… or at least I thought. She didn’t deliver the food, and didn’t stop back for almost 10 minutes. My water was empty for quite a while. She asked if we were ready for the refills. Of course we were, our food was gone. We waited another 20 minutes for the refills that take 15 minutes to come out, that were supposed to be quicker since she took them ahead of time, but that didn’t happen.
We ate those, and waited… and waited… and waited. She then came over and asked if we wanted more refills? No thanks I honestly didn’t want to wait another 20 minutes. The one meal came with a dessert, and I just asked if we could get that… and she started walking away. I asked, as she was walking away, if I could get some more water, since they were empty, again and also a box as she was about 15 feet away. She could not even wait until I finished my sentence before walking away. I was never rude, I was just asking.
She brought the items out and then tried to be nice again by asking if we wanted biscuits to go or more shrimp to go. Again, I said, «No, thanks.» As we just wanted to go.
I would skip this place.

I’m not sure what changed but something has happened with the shrimp. I have never been, nor am I now, allergic to shtimp. If I eat shrimp literally anywhere else I have no issues.
The last 2 times I visited Red Lobster, this location and the one near PV mall, I have had an allergic reaction. I mean I’m itching and breaking out in hives allergic. I played it off the 1^st time as a fluke since I have been to RL dozens of times but after 2^nd time in a row it was settled. I’m not 100% sure it’s the shrimp or the biscuits or what but it’s no good.

You know what this place deserves a great review from me. Yeah, yeah I know what you’re thinking «Jamie it’s just a Red Lobster». It is a Red Lobster and I am a regular customer here because my dad loves this place and honestly I don’t have anything bad to say about them. Their service has always been spectacular; all of their wait staff have been nothing but fun and friendly to my very dysfunctional family. I’ve had many items on the menu and have enjoyed everything. Not to mention, they have a great bar. Where else can I get a double sized frozen margarita with my seafood meal? This place handles large parties gracefully and easily splits checks when needed. This Red Lobster has served me and my family well for years. I love the different «fest» seasons too, Lobster Fest being my favorite!

Biscuits.
That’s why I come here.
And I eat a crap load of them.
Delicious.

Treated aunt to a belated birthday dinner (three other adults and two children dining; I only had a cocktail and two teensy flakes off of the top of a cheddar biscuit. BE AWARE that EACH biscuit contains 8 grams of fat, 2.5 grams saturated, and a total of 150 calories.
They ordered *Berry-​Mango daiquiris
and I a *classic mojito.
I heard that the berry-​mango was a balanced mixture of fruit flavors, but the alcohol was hardly-​detectable. The alcohol flavor wasn’t missed at all, though. Everyone who had them «ooh“ed and «ahh“ed. I wished a simple mango version was available, but I’m also glad it wasn’t, or else I would never have found out that RL, or more specifically the bartender working that shift, served a TERRIFIC mojito! My first sip disappointed, but once I swirled everything a few times with the straw, the drink actually turned out to be one of the best mojitos I’ve ever had! It’s a classic version, made with Bacardi Superior rum, muddled mint, pure cane sugar (don’t like ones made with simple syrup– too sweet), freshly-​squeezed lime juice, and club soda.
I would never be able to dine here (aversion to farm-​raised fish, intolerance/​allergy to whitefish, shellfish allergies, and Blue Bunny ice cream choices contain corn syrup), but I wouldn’t mind enjoying a mojito while everyone else dines! :)
