Red Lobster

When my boyfriend and I arrived around 8 pm on a rainy Tuesday night, half of the restaurant was very visibly vacant, yet we were told we could only sit at the bar unless we wanted to wait 45 minutes. The service provided at the bar wasn’t bad, and our food came fairly quickly. I ordered the jumbo coconut shrimp, but it was terribly breaded and had way too much coconut under the panko. My boyfriend order the admirals feast and his shrimp was dripping with grease. All and all the food was highly disappointing and I’m not sure why this location fails with the food because any other red lobster I have gone to has always been excellent in service and food.

I haven’t been to Red Lobster in almost 30 years so we’ll just say this was my first time. First off our server was absolutely fantastic. She was very attentive friendly and knew her craft. She suggested menu options drink suggestions and dessert offerings. It was the last day of the all you can eat shrimp (news to me) so I opted for that and my dining companion had the lobster bake. Both great choices. We had the seafood dip as appetizer along with the legendary cheddar bay biscuits. We had a very pleasant dining experience and left well over stuffed. Sadly no room for dessert on this visit. Now I will say that it is a little on the pricey side for dinner but the food was delicious.

Not the place to order grilled chicken! Who would have thought that I would have been served thawed out processed chicken? It’s a seafood restaurant but really ??

The food is good we don’t go as often as we use to the main complaint is the portions have gotten smaller the prices went up the salad really took a dive there is nothing to it it does not even come with cheese unless you ask for it

Don’t really expect much from Red Lobster to be honest. However, when the waitress suggests that crab meat is _​supposed_​to be as hard as a piece of wood & gains an attitude when you suggest otherwise, then one feels obligated to leave a 1 star review.

I go here almost every Sunday and this place never fails to disappoint me. Good food and great service. I would def recommend this place!

It’s a Red Lobster, so obviously the menu and execution are similar to the other Red Lobsters in the greater Columbus area. I usually go to the one off of Sawmill Rd two or three times a year, oftentimes for their Endless Shrimp promotion. The in-​laws in Pickerington wanted to meet up for dinner though, so off we went to the Red Lobster in Lancaster for a meal.
The building is typical Red Lobster, and is pretty clean. The servers are friendly. Comparatively speaking though, the refills on the «Endless» shrimp were way too slow. I understand that they don’t want you eating too much, but 15 minute gaps between each tiny additional order is too much.

It’s been several years since I’ve been to Red Lobster. This is my second time (first time was at the one off Hamilton Rd). This time it’s with the whole family to celebrate my Grandma’s
was a fairly crowded evening, thus a short wait to be seated was understood.
Once to our table, our waiter was great — Hugh. Knew his dishes and what could be substituted. Great humor, too! We weren’t rushed, either :) Besides getting the Cheese Biscuits, we tried the Lobster Artichoke and Seafood Dip. Brought it out hot right out of the oven. It’s was very tasty: Just the right mix of cheese flavor and could taste the lobster. And, of course, the hot cheesy biscuits were very good.
Now to the main dish. Got the Rock Island Tilapia with a sauce and lobster chunks. Came with a house salad, steamed broccoli and rice pilaf. Verdict? The fish was mushy :(Strong «frozen fish taste» — not good. The steamed green beans were perfectly prepared. The mashed potatoes, I was afraid, would have too much seasoning to them, but they were simply fine (not anything to brag about).
I was not happy with the food. The only thing keeping me from rating this place one star is the waiter’s great personality and attentiveness. Nothing else :(

I’m not usually big on chain restaurants. And this was my first time at a Red Lobster due to negative reviews from others. But after this experience, I may have changed my mind. This location in particular has some of the best wait staff. Seriously, management needs a thumbs up.
Our waitress was so accommodating with the sweetest personality. We got the two combo dinners with a choice of side. So, I can say that the Parrot Isle Jumbo Coconut Shrimp and Peppercorn-​Grilled Sirloin are wonderful! Garlic Shrimp Scampi was a little dry. And I expected a larger portion of Steamed Snow Crab Legs.
Otherwise, I got the chocolate brownie with vanilla ice cream for dessert. Nothing off the walls. Sort of think they should spruce up the dessert menu. But tasty nonetheless.
Oh and love the free dinner biscuits!

Took my wife here for birthday. Service was slow, and clumsy. Shrimp was overcooked, and portions very tiny.

This location is consistent with the national chain locations all over the nation.
I seem to have found some of the best wait staff here. The management needs a pat on the back for that!
Keep up the good work!

This place is okay. Pretty good seafood, and nice service. Its certainly not a Fish Market or Bone Fish, but if youre looking for some decent seafood at a reasonable price, this place works.

Wife and kids took me here for my birthday, they got served, I didnt, waitress’s excuse, she just broke up with her boyfriend, good one! none the less, by the time my food came, which was all wrong, my wife and two daughters were done eating and we left with my wrong dinner in a togo box, thx RED LOBSTER

SHRIMP FEST! Need I say more? The new parmesan crusted shrimp is to die for! Our waiter Randy was on top of things, and kept the all you can eat shrimp coming.

As much ad I hate to admit it, Red Lobster is pretty tasty for a chain! From the cheesey garlicky biscuits to the fresh salads to Lobsterfest! Now the lobster doesn’t have much taste, nor does the drawn «butter», but for the price, it’s enjoyable.
Ok, a couple scotches helps.
