Red Lobster

Prices keep going up and up while the portions get smaller including the salad which is about the size of a saucer dish. The lobster tail came out soggy but the salmon & scallops were good. As were the red potatoes for the side.

Amazing! I’m new to Unilocal.Just got the app so this experience has been a few months back but it was so incredible that I felt the need to write it now. My husband and I went for our anniversary back in October and everything from the staff to the food was impeccable! We’ve been to different ones throughout the U.S. over the years and this one by far was the best one! The food was so fresh, hot, and delicious! Our waiter did an awesome job of making sure all our needs were met and our drinks were full. I wish I could remember his name to mention him on here. The manager that night also made his way to our table to make sure our experience was a good one. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND GOING HERE! DEFINITELY WILL GO BACK!

Highway robbery for a draft! $ 5. Restrooms smelled really bad. Shrimp was not hot when brought out the first time.

Ryan W. was honestly the best server we’ve had in a long time. He treated us amazingly! He was very attentive. And paid close attention to when it was time to give us our next course. He definitely deserves a raise or premotion!!!

A friend and I were meeting for dinner. She asked if we could meet at Red Lobster. I had not been there in awhile so I agreed to meet there. It was 5pm on a Tuesday night so we were able to get right in with no wait. Most of the time there is a line and a waiting period to get a table.
They were having a Crab Feast as their special for the month. My friend and I got the same thing-​crab legs and scallops. We also both got potatoes. I got a baked potato and she got mashed but hers had a crab sauce on top.
When the food arrived it looked really good. The scallops were grilled and cooked perfectly. The crab legs were also done nicely. Sometimes you go to places and the crab legs are soft and too pliable. The crab crackers can’t even break them open. These had crisp shells that cracked nicely.
Our server was very kind and she was very attentive. If you haven’t been into Red Lobster in awhile you should check them out. You know you can’t resist those cheddar biscuits.

I have been here many times before but today was amazing, the food tastes like the 4^th of July in your mouth, the service from our waiter keven was amazing I couldn’t have asked for a better waiter

Red Lobster was once a wonderful place to have a nice seafood dinner. Gone are the tanks that held live lobsters in therm. The famous chalkboard listing the fresh catches are now given to you as a menu addition.
To avoid lines we arrived in the middle of the day. I had a $ 4.00 coupon for my friend and I to share with our meals. My girlfriend noted to me that the prices recently increased. Also there is no WiFi there.
They were running a dinner special for $ 16.99 which included soup, salad, certain seafood entrees, and a dessert. My girlfriend ordered that. I opted for the flounder stuffed with crab meat. You are still served those buttery biscuits to start. My friend had clam chowder, Caesar salad, garlic shrimp, and caramel cheesecake for dessert.
i was served two pieces of the flounder with broccoli which was filling and not to bad. Our waiter was friendly but when he gave us the check we saw he didn’t honor the coupon we had. We called him back and said to deduct the $ 4.00 off the total. We corrected him by saying the $ 4.00 comes off before tax so he estimated the reduction for us.
I also noted as I’m beginning to see in other Darden establishments that the check leaves the suggested amount of tipping down to a penny science.
I will only dine here when asked. It is not a place that I would normally pick out for my self
Please note that if is difficult to park sometimes because there are other restaurants in this off street area that are very popular.

Red Lobster used to be a fancy dining experience my wealthy grandfather used to treat us to. Having not been in years, till I went to a red lobster in Miami. Which was nothing short of fast food.
But here at this location, it was more like a nice and rather fancy restaurant. So i’m guessing location makes the difference. Maybe their fancier in Pennsylvania… or just dumpy in Miami.
My mother insisted we come here for the endless shrimp. I really didn’t want to come from the endless shrimp memory in Florida. But presently surprised.
The shrimp wasn’t jumbo… at 16 dollars I didn’t expect it to be. But it was good eats. The spicy shrimp (can’t remember the name of it) will burn your tounge off. Loved it!
I’m glad my experience here has changed my mind about red lobster.

The snow crabs must be boiled in salt water because they were the most salty crab legs I have ever tasted

Worst Red Lobster experience I’ve ever had, and I’ve been to many around the US. The food was terribly seasoned and cooked even worse. Very disappointing franchise.

Ah, Red Blobster, one of the few food chains I can actually stand. First off, I never order any of the fried/​breaded dishes, which eliminates ½ the menu. You’re better off going to Long John Silvers and paying ¹⁄₃ of the price. Now, on to the positives:
1. All you can eat shrimp (when available). This is the main reason I come here! If I ever choose to overdose on salt and butter, this is the place I’m headed. My record is 90 shrimps, mostly Cajun grilled and scampi. Don’t bother filling yourself up with biscuits and rice/​Alfredo sides that come with some of the shrimp orders. I would also recommend not drinking Mountain Dew with it because it could result in a cataclysmic reaction in your stomach.
2. Specials. The last time I went, I got a seafood casserole that had shrimp, mussels, clams, lobster, and scallops. Even though every bite led me closer to heart failure, I couldn’t help but keep eating it. No joke, if you ever see seafood casserole on the menu, order it. The only bad part was that it was around $ 25.
— 1 Stars for all of the fried/​breaded food
–0.5 Stars for overpricing
–0.5 Stars for the long wait

How long had it been since last I dined at a Red Lobster? 2004, my 30^th (gasp!) birthday, at the only Red Lobster I had ever been to; the one in West Mifflin. Throughout childhood, the West Mifflin satellite was a semi-​regular destination for the family, but as I got older, visits became less frequent.
Enter: Kay’s Aunt. Kay’s aunt gets her a $ 25 gift card as an Easter present. Kay hugs her. I hug her also. This past Sunday, coming back home from Beaver Falls, we decide to unload said gift card as it was boring a hole through her wallet and purse.
I knew I wanted lobster, but how? I wanted to save a bit of cash as well, maximizing the gift card, and it was early afternoon, lunch time.
Man how I’ve pined for lobster rolls ever since I saw a television special that dedicated a segment to them. Never did I think a chain restaurant would sell them. Once I saw them on the menu, I wanted nothing else.
The lobster inside the somewhat small, buttered, toasted buns (you get 2 to an order) is dressed with a touch of mayo and a small amount of diced celery and onion.
I really hope Subway doesn’t start selling these. I mean, they’ll figure out a way to make it lame. Or they’ll use langostinos.
I do however hope that more local, indy joints will begin have them on their menus. An almost perfect lunch, the chilly lobster yielded to my teeth easily, the mayo and veggies gave each sandwich a fresh, crisp taste, and the warm rolls provided for that magical cool/​hot contrast. Excellent deli fare, I could have eaten a quartet of these, again, never expecting Red Lobster to serve up their namesake in such a manner.
The fries that came with it (subbing for potato chips since I don’t want to order potato chips at a Red Lobster) were typical shoestring tater sticks that performed their function satisfactorily.
Kay swore by the Peach-​Bourbon BBQ Scallops, so that became our starter. Each scallop was bundled in a bacon scarf, all of them on a skewer atop a bed of thin onion rings and pico de gallo. 4 to an order, Kay and I fought over the sweetly charred, juicy, plump scallops and scavenged for the dead perfect breaded hoops of allium and refreshing pico de gallo.
What happened to the Fudge Overboard? No matter. In its place is the Warm Chocolate Chip Lava Cookie, a tart/​cookie hybrid that bleeds debauched fudge when broken open. Only a lone scoop of vanilla ice cream serves to cut its savage sweetness and soothe its volcanic heat.
Catherine, our personable server, was truly on her game on this day, despite her astonishment at how fast we ate everything. We were starving! Catherine missed not one beat. Refills came before we thought of them, courses were paced flawlessly, specials were explained deftly, all with a smile.
Raise a claw for The Crimson Crustacean!
It’s the best microwaved seafood you’ll ever nosh on.
P. S. As I went for the complimentary, fattening, and addictive cheddar biscuits, Kay outed herself as a Boondocks fan. A sense of geeky humor she has.

Typical red lobster except for the wait during peak times. Always a long wait !! The lobby and bar area is very small so you feel like sardines waiting for a table.
