Red Lobster

We did not have a good time at red lobster. We were celebrating my birthday and they didn’t give dessert or anything they just poorly (not happily) sang happy birthday and left. $ 20 for crab legs and they were so small. There was a butter wrapper in the dish of butter and the Cesar salad was so small. One of our guests got a Caesar salad for the meal and it was nothing. However they did have good servers and asked if our guest carrying a baby seat wanted a sling which held the carrier at table level. We were not impressed by our expensive meal and we will not be returning.

Love love love the food at this location. Eat at other Red Lobster locations and you’ll know what I mean. Great service, especially during the day, although I have never had a bad experience at any time of the day. Best location in my opinion.

Less than impressed with this Red Lobster location.
When we arrived at this restaurant on a Sunday afternoon the place was fairly empty but we had to wait 30 minutes for a table because we had a party of 5. When we finally sat down we realized that the table had been open the whole time we were there so we were a little unclear on the wait time.
When it was time to order the waiter was a bit brisk and on multiple occasions was rude to the group. At one point he gave us the wrong salads and when we passed them to the right people at the table he challenged us with «Is there an issue with your salads?»
The food itself was cold, salty and some of the items were overcooked. The final icing on the cake was when the waiter asked us if we signed our bill so that he «wouldn’t have to chase us in the parking lot.» We believe this comment came from the fact we were speaking Spanish.
Overall, not a good time, the only redeeming factor were the biscuits.

This Red Lobster was definitely better than most. From the cleanliness to the airy atmosphere to the diversity in patronage to the quality of food, I rather enjoyed this lunch experience.
The food was fresh and delicious. My date even ordered a non-​seafood dish and was very happy with the outcome. My crab Alfredo lunch portion was definitely adequately portioned, and I have to say the amount of crab was eye popping. Not to mention delicious!
We did order appetizers and I was very happy with my server’s knowledge of ingredients. I cannot have scallops (which is a shame, because they always look and smell so appetizing), and the server knew right away that the seafood stuffed mushrooms do in fact contain scallops.
We opted for a duo of mozzarella sticks and crispy green beans for an appetizer. The mozzarella sticks were fine –just what one would expect. The crispy green beans were not so wonderful. They were edible, but definitely not crispy and the batter flaked off on the short trip from the plate to the dipping sauce. It almost seemed as though they had used the previous evening’s boiled green beans for today’s crispy green bean lunch. Who knows. :)
Regardless, we were not disappointed at all with the whole of our experience, and I must add that all of the good I saw on other tables as I walked through or that I saw being brought out looked and smelled very appetizing.
For a Red Lobster (aka: a chain restaurant), they did a very nice job.

A lot better than the one close to my home… food was great. Nothing out of the ordinary.

It’s a Red Lobster and it’s as good as a Red Lobster can get! I think it’s my favorite Red Lobster location!

food ok, service ok find another seafood place

I am sure everyone is familiar with Red Lobster… but I just wanted to pass on my most recent and last dining experience at this disaster of a chain…
Upon entering the hostess/​greeter was very unhappy and we received no friendly greeting only told us there would be a 15 minute wait. After our wait for a table we thought it seemed odd to wait even 15 minutes since the restaurant was pretty fairly empty. We thought they might be short handed and sure enough that seemed to be the case. Our server took another 10 minutes to acknowledge us.
Once we ordered we settled on a grilled salmon, and 2 lobsters (of course). The menu claims the lobster are 1 ½ lbs and do not come cheap. Once our meals arrived there was nothing special.
It tasted like it was boiled, then sat around for awhile and then tossed back in a pot of water to reheat. It seemed to be lacking that sweet, briny delicious flavor all lobsters have. I realize great lobster does not need any assistance but the claimed size, we felt was way off, and the lack of flavor made it a disappointment. We then tried to ask the waitress for a fork and more drawn butter (to give the bland lobsters some flavor) but she was unavailable throughout the time. It was an ordeal to get anything to our table. Horrible, horrible service with a so-​so meal.

I’m sorry, I love Red Lobster. The Snow Crab dinner, the BISCUITS, the brownie dessert. The amazing fru-​fru drinks. The entire thing makes me dizzy with excitement.
Plus, the RLs upstate are far superior (and cheaper) to the ones in NYC.
