Red Lobster

The Silverware is always filthy. Lorraine at the bar is pretty nice and she always get my order right but the dirty silverware and lack of freshness on the food makes this place a hole in the wall.

Slow service. Overpriced. We didn’t finish our meals & had moderate gastrointestinal distress after eating here. I do not recommend.

Didn’t wait to get seated since we made reservations, but took 30minutes for our server to arrive and get our order. Waited 45minutes for the check to arrive after requesting for the bill. So make sure you have a lot of patience and is not in a hurry when you dine in here. I also noticed the employees like to hang around the bar and chitchat. (We were seated next to it so we were able to hear all their life stories and conversations not by choice) But other than that, it’s amusing how the employees find any reason why you’re there to celebrate anything (will announce to the crowd and the whole gang will sing for you… i.e. Graduation, straight A or honor student, birthday, anniversary, etc!!!)
Ps their lobsterita drink was really good!!!

I’ll never go back. My girlfriend is from Ecuador I am from the reservation. I don’t look like an Indian I look like a white man. I was ignored so was my girlfriend. When they showed up they had smiles on their faces and service was exceptional. Problem is they never showed up for a very long long time. Instead I could hear them just gathering by the registers and talking and laughing. I had to ask three times for service. Plus the king crab was cold. I’ll never go back.

Actually my first time be here with my wife. It is good food that more than my expectation. We love the peach tea as our drink. The coconut shrimp is so taste. We love the pineapple sauce. Other than that, I got steak with lobster. It was so good. I love the garlic sauce. My server is nice too.

Took 5 minutes on Friday at 5pm to say… You have to wait 15 min… Because we don’t have enough servers? While we waited 5 min at least 4 servers were watching the crowd at the front door build. The servers didn’t look over burdened. But it must be policy they would rather people wait in a small waiting area. Rather than at a table. And there were many free. Service people!

Love love red lobster its the best place to go when you are craving some seafood everything is amazing from food to the service love the food and mostly love them warm biscuits will always come here but my last visit i was a little disappointed because my glass and fork was so dirty i had to ask for another ones but after all amazing food

Came for the endless shrimp… Overall decent, but the shrimp was tiny and not that great. Service was slow… Got all five options of shrimp plus double on two, but sat there for 90 minutes to get it. I won’t be back for the shrimp thoigh other options are good.

Love this location, I have been coming here for years and the food has always been great! Location is clean and well kept! The portions are always enough to take some home. Biscuits and salad are addictive! The drinks are a bit weak, and the staff are above average, but not exceptional. Overall great experience! Would recommend and continue to keep coming back!

I came here while I was on business in Plantation. My review is not so much as the food (I would give the food 2.5÷3 stars) but really a Bartender there.
Here’s my issue and this is aimed at probably less than a dozen people who actually checks Unilocal for a review on Red Lobster…
When I come into a restaurant, my interest is in getting a couple of drinks and food.
I am not interested in being solicited by the Bartender on how I can make thousands of dollars by booking all my travel through a travel website that’s set up like a pyramid scheme, where the more people in your network, the more money you make.
I don’t mind a little chit chat and being social, but it’s incredibly awkward and super uncomfortable when your bartender/​server is pitching you a pyramid scheme.
And honestly, I don’t think it’s just 1 rogue Bartender, I think it’s some sort of scheme they got going on here as I saw a different Bartender chatting it up with some other customers basically writing down information on a piece of paper for them.
So I’m guessing this is part of their company policy is after your meal and as you’re about to get the check, to solicit their patrons into a pyramid scheme.

Super Friendly Employees, very slow service and the food is just ok. Put on more staff and change the kitchen staff!

I’m new to the area and was so excited when I saw a red lobster. All I wanted was to take home and amazing lobster feast meal. I was shopping nearby so I decided to call ahead for takeout. I waited 15 minutes after someone picked up and told me someone could help me with takeout then my phone dropped the call. I called back this time asking for a manager because I had already waited 15 minutes. Then it took another seven minutes before someone picked up only to find out that they were really backed up. Someone took my order apologized which started to make me feel better but then asked me to hold to speak to a manager at this point I’ve been waiting a total of 35 minutes to place an order which was going to take another 30 to 40 minutes to make and I was asked to hold yet again to speak to a manager when my phone call dropped again I just said screw it and went home but if this is the way they treat customers who call-​in I can only imagine how people were being treated in the restaurant. I will never return here and I highly recommend you try to go to another location.

My review is similar to Michael’s from 3mths ago. I was hoping the seafood was better that what I’ve had before but sadly cannot say that.
Service was on point. Plenty of biscuits lol.
My flounder was listed as «wild caught.» Eehhh ok I really hope it was. The portion was huge so that kinda tells me it’s frozen!
So back to my tried n true places for fresh fish. My Home!
Red Lobster was busy for sure but trust me from the smell of things it’s Not Fresh! Watch out if you’re awaiting one of the Feast of something; betcha it’s frozen.
Btw my salad was sad and my baked potato had way to much salt on the skin too.
I eat my entire potato for the nutrients.
I can make the bread so nope, until I hear different I won’t adorn a Red Lobster again.
If fish or seafood smells when cooked, it’s not fresh n maybe bad. Please be careful.
The server earned 2 stars.

I had read that Darden Industries has sold Red Lobster and it now has new owners and a more expanded menu; so, we decided to try to again. The restaurant looks the same inside. We were greeted by very pleasant young host. The wait time was about 15 minutes and we were seated in a table in the bar area.
Our waiter, Josh, was excellent! Very courteous and professional, He knew all the items on the menu and he was able to explain them well. He was very attentive with out be overbearing, as some waiters are, and seemed very interested that we would be happy with our selections. He is worth a five star rating.
The menu has expanded, but the quality of the food does not seem to be better than before. I ordered the Ultimate Feast. It came with plenty to eat. However, the taste was mediocre. I ordered the baked potato which was far too salty. You could see slat crusted on the skin. The lobster tail was a bit tough. The shrimp scampi was very soggy. The crabs legs were average. The fired shrimp was ok. The best thing in the entire meal was the coconut shrimp appetizer. The biggest problem was that the food was not hot; but rather, was puke-​warm. My partner had better luck with his wild caught stuffed flounder which he felt was average. All th food seemed to be too slaty which is a problem I found with Red Lobsters in the past. The bread was fairly good; but, also salty. All-​in-​all, the food did not seem much better than the old, Red Lobster — just more plentiful.
Because of the excellent service, I will try it one more time. I am hoping the food will improve as the new owners get more involved in their new business and improving the chain.

So far I have liked the food, I like the endless shrimp and always order the grilled shrimp. I like also the piña colada (not the frozen one). However, their carpet smell terrible! smells like one star motel. I always have to sit close to the bar area where it doesn’t smell that bad.

Our waiter was very friendly and made sure that we were taken care of. He earned his tip.

My first time going to Red Lobster
Went there yesterday around 6, party of 2 and a baby, got seated within ten minutes which was good, when our waiter finally got here we wanted to get our drinks and main course out of the way, so we both ordered our drinks, and I felt I was being rushed, I asked him «hey is it possible that I can get some type of pasta with lobster? like the one with the shrimp but lobster instead?» he said «no, there is no lobster that comes with pasta.» so I said «okay what about the crab?», he said «no», and he said «okay I will put your drinks in and I will be right back». I was like «wow, to my husband he rushed us off», and we just see him going to other tables and bring their food in and then my husband got his tea first and he said he will come with my drink, my husband is like «where is the cheddar biscuits» and he says that there is none at the moment, when they are done being prepared he will bring it to us, finally my drink comes with a women not our waiter, finally he came back and took our order and I was planning on getting 1 main course and 2 sides, after I took my main order I WAS NOT DONE YET, he immediately asks my husband what is he going to order and when my husband was done saying his main course order he was getting up to leave, now this made me look like a B by saying listing I wasn’t done ordering I ended up asking for just one side, skipping forward our food came and I’m like listen u forgot my side he shakes his head like i did not order it and then says oh yeah I didn’t put it in because it would’ve been 4 dollars extra, I knew this that is what the menu said, he tried to save himself by saying that, and then he’s like «I lied its seven dollars» because of what I chose but he could’ve put that side for five dollars on my husbands meal, what a lazy waiter we had.
Overall: what I got sucked! and I am not even a picky person, my husband got some kind of spicy fried shrimp, he said he could’ve just made this at home, oh and the famous cheddar biscuits, tastes like can biscuits, and I wanted to order an extra side and dessert but thanks to that waiter I just didn’t, people don’t like to feel rushed! we paid 43 dollars… best money I’ve ever spent, because now I know that I will never be coming back there!

Wasn’t bad for a Thursday night, try to come during the weekdays not as crowded. Friday and Saturday will have you outside waiting for a decent amount of time if you don’t get there early.
Had the chili shrimp as an appetizer and it was great loved it. For the main course we had the lobster over lobster which was also very good. I would have both if I went again.

Very quiet and clean red lobster off of university. The food was very good I had a. Decent portion (I took some home (the shrimp fettuccine was very tasted but stuffed flounder was not. Very good and warm bread and an even Better Bahama mama!

I have always had a great experience here. Any time I visit my grandmother we always make a stop here.
I had the 4 course meal (soup, salad, Cajun chicken pasta, brownie). Each course was excellent as always.
This place is definitely not closed, I ate here last night.
