Red Lobster

I’m usually pretty easy to please as it pertains to food services; however, without exaggeration this Red Lobster has to be the worst I have ever been to. The restaurant was almost empty but we had to wait ten minutes for a table. After being sat, our waitress arrived and was in a sour almost disrespectful mood. One of the people in our group received a beverage with a broken glass which leaked all over the table. We placed our order rather quickly as well as an appetizer for the table. After 45 minutes of waiting (and a somewhat empty restaurant) the waitress brought out the appetizer seconds before bringing our food; which all tasted like it stayed under a heat lamp for quite sometime. The waitress would not listen to guests at my table and would utter things under her breath as she walked away from the table. If I was the franchise owner or corporate office, this would disgust me. All four people at my table are in town for business from all over the country. Definitely will not be going back to this location.

Had a great lunch date with my best friend. We enjoyed taking part of the Endless Shrimp and it was good! The waitress was wonderful and down to earth. Very good experience for me especially being a first time customer since the 90’s!

Tried the new shrimp tacos. The flavor was good not great but I would get these again. Maybe try the lobster? What I like was the portion size, this was perfect when you are not looking for large meal.

It’s been a couple of years since I’ve been to this restaurant. I was excited about getting some seafood but disappointed when everything tasted old and reheated aside from the fresh cheddar bay biscuits. I haven’t returned since I felt like I overpaid for my husband to get sick. The service was alright. I hope things are better in the kitchen these days because I’d like to give Red Lobster a 2^nd chance. Perhaps my standards were too high for seafood in Indiana.

The food is always up to chain standards, with no complaints there. The staff is hit and miss, some very nice, others not so much. The bar, where we’d rather sit and it, is always way to swamped to get decent service. They need to staff it better on weekends.
