Red Lobster

Loved it ! Excellent experience, waitress was amazing the food was amazing. Overall just perfect.

Skimpy salads, slow service, nice and friendly staff. The last two times I’ve ordered fried shrimp, it’s not done. The outside crust is over cooked, very dark, nearly burned. The shrimp are gray, clear and shiny when you pull away the crust. Looks like they continue to put deep frozen shrimp in too hot oil. They are certainly not battered fresh at the restaurant.

Ask for Brandi. She is a fantastic server with a great personality. My kids cleared their plates. They also had fun watching the lobsters in the tank. They seemed to enjoy dancing in their chairs to the upbeat music too. My husband an I both chose the make your own feast meals where you can choose 4 courses, soup, salad, entrée, and deseert. It was $ 15.99. I have to say for the price it was a lot of food. We couldn’t finish all of it and had to bring some home in a take out box. We were seated immediately with friendly staff when we walked in. We also found the restaurant to be clean. I did not use the restrooms on this particular trip so I can not say much about that. My husband had the linguini and enjoyed it. He also made a comment that his clam chowder and salad was very good. He had the brownie for dessert and let me try a bite. It was moist and very good. I had the coconut shrimp and spicy pineapple shrimp, bacon potato soup, and the caramel cheesecake. They were all delicious! I would definitely recommend this restaurant to my friends and we will be going back.

Very little food for what they charge. And what food we got was mediocre. No thanks. There’s a tons of better dining choices in the Perry area. And the service was slow and apathetic.

Walked in to about 5 employees standing around, as we entered we noticed the front door full of hand prints, as if they has not cleaned it in months. We were among two families walking in with no wait however it took them 5 or so minutes for an acknowledgement. Proceeded to be seated by the restroom which smelled, we asked to sit else where and we noticed the location was beyond dirty. We sat down looked at each other and walkout!

The drinks were delicious. I ordered the shrimp scambi with some snow crab legs… the food tasted like it was straight out of the ocean… i had to ask the server for some Cajun seasoning to add on it. My serve Cerelene was very nice and attentive… this isn’t my first place to go for seafood but since I was home visiting it served its purpose. Will I go back? Maybe.

They must be doing something right, but frankly, I don’t see it. Not just the Perry restaurant, but any Red Lobster: mediocre food, high prices, typical chain atmosphere…
Driving back from Florida, we stopped in for a quick lunch. Both T and I ordered stuffed flounder. We were served a disappointing piece of fish, topped with a dollop of bland stuffing. (More filler than crab and reminiscent of a frozen microwave meal.) I think they expect patrons to fill up on their delicious garlic biscuits — you can get as many as you’d like — though I have to say, my side of broccoli was surprisingly good: crisp (as I requested) and nicely seasoned.
Every so often a chain restaurant delivers (i.e. Carrabas.) But Red Lobster? I’m giving up on this place.
I should add, for people who enjoy Red Lobster, there’s certainly nothing wrong with this one. The staff is friendly and you’ll get the food you’ve grown to expect.
