Red Lobster

Our favorite seafood restaurant, Golf & Plum Grove, Schaumburg, IL. If I like to try a new fish, this the place to go

For a chain, red lobster still provides a great dining experience! Great menu options and cheddar biscuits and salad that come with every entrée!
I got the fresh Atlantic salmon grilled, and loved every bite. I also tried the seafood bake with linguine which was also very tasty. The cheddar biscuits were amazing, especially when warm. The calamari for appetizer was also perfect for a group of 6 to share. I especially liked that there were fried veggies among the calamari as well. The ranch dipping sauce that came with the marinara sauce was also a smart take on the dish.
For dessert, the warm chocolate lava cookie was to die for. A warm buttery rich cookie with cool and creamy ice cream on top was the best combination known to mankind. The perfect way to end the meal! A great chain experience overall! Left way too full.

I enjoy Red Lobster, but have had better seafood. I’d recommend the salads, the salmon, lobster ans shrimp combo. The ultimate feast is good too. The walleye filet is just okay. The sides of mashed potatoes, white potatoes, and rice are good as well.
The bread, biscuits they serve are amazingly good though.

We came here for our four year anniversary and the food didn’t disappoint! We had the lobster specials, & a bahama mama drink… and they were all amazing!
The server was nice, but awkward at times. other than that, it was a great experience, and we spent less than $ 100! We’ll be back for sure

Great place for Real fresh Seafood! Fine service great atmosphere, delicious seafood with good quantities, unlimited hot fresh cheddar biscuits!

This is my first time back in 35 years. I stopped coming back then because no matter what you got it all tasted the same… it all had a fishy taste. Through peer pressure we thought we would give it a try. Now my wife and Mother-​in-​Law have been here before but new for me.
My Mother-​in-​law had the Dueling lobster tails but substituted the Rock Lobster for a Main because when she had it last time it was tuff. They substituted without issue. My wife had the build your own and she got the scallops and the salmon. Both enjoyed their meal.
Now for me, after all, it’s my review.
5 for the service
4 for the food.
first of all the cheddar rolls were pretty damn good. For my entrée I had the Seaport Lobster & Shrimp. The skewered shrimp and the scampi tasted the same to me. not the scampi I’m used to having like in high end restaurants. Shrim in garlic butter, that’s pretty much it, but it was still very good. The lobster portion of the meal was OK too, but just OK. Maybe its the butter they use. Bottom line, it was still pretty good.
The waitress was very accommodating, funny and very pleasant. My bad that I didn’t remember her name to mention here but we did tell the manager that she did an excellent job.
We will come back and I think I’m going to try the Wood-​Grilled Lobster, Shrimp, and Salmon. That would have been my second choice over the Lobster and Shrimp.

Do not let SAM be your waiter at this location. He would not stop reaching his arm in front of my date and I to go through the menu, with no excuse me at all. Knocked our forks off the table and would not stop touching our silverware while he was talking… then would not replace them with new ones rudely! Lastly, after 20 minutes of looking over the menu without him checking to see if we were ready, he tells us to absolutely not order the dish we wanted with no other suggestions… I could not believe what I was seeing and hearing.
In addition, when we asked another waitress her opinion of a dish, she said I don’t know let me ask around. walked around the restaurant asking everyone and came back 3 times with different answers. Also would not take her hand off my shoulder while talking each time.
In my opinion they are too touchy/​hands on in there for a restaurant and absolutely do not show professionalism.
We have never in my life had service so terrible at a restaurant and will never go back.
TGI Friday’s 2 minutes away saved the night!

If you go there ask for Deb P. Greatest service I have received in a long time. She curtailed any issue that may have raised it was like she knew me! She was informative about food choices, she attentive and caring and funny too! I had New York Strip Steak and Lobster Tail. Samantha had a Shrimp Trio! Everything was great!

Food was made to perfection! Thank u chef! The service from Christine was attentive and brought everything needed with out asking again. Such a smile and kind service. The bathroom was so clean. Oh i had the berry mango daq and it was heaven in my mouth.
Walts favorite shrimp with bake potatoe awesome
Ultimate feast with bake potatoe awesome
My guy had strawberry margarita and was awesome

We had the raw oysters and shrimp & lobster cocktail which are both appetizers but me and my friend weren’t that hungry at the moment so we were very satisfied with just the two dishes. The raw oysters came with cocktail sauce and horseradish, which had a spicy taste afterword (kinda like wasabi) but went very well with the cocktail sauce. First visit was very good, will try entrees next time we visit.

A few times a year I take my 4 boys here for lunch. They enjoy the cheddar biscuits and split a full size crab pasta Alfredo dish. I order the shrimp salad & soup combo. All tasty dishes and we always leave full. Service is attentive and prompt. Managers and staff very welcoming. A great familiar lunch spot.

The foods are so great
The best one was the corn. It tastes like a butter. It was so great.
Also, the drink strawberry drink was awesome. I had no alcohol one, with my daughters, and it was perfect for us. I would love to go there to eat them.

First time at a Red Lobster. The service was great and the food was delicious! For sure coming back.

Completely disappointed with the food. Service was good, but the lobster served to me was so over cooked that I could have thrown it on the ground and it would have bounced back at me. The shrimp were also severely over-​done. It almost tasted like they were microwaved. Even the salad was limp and disappointing. Never returning here again.

2 words: Food Poisoning
I wasn’t a fan of RL to begin with but went back for my brother who loves it. It was his birthday dinner choice. Never again!

I went to Red Lobster with my friend Kat for the first time tonight! We usually go to Joe’s Crab Shack for seafood but decided to give Red Lobster a try!
It’s so pretty inside and we got a booth by a window so we could see the SUPERMOON!!! I got the endless shrimp deal and Kat got the crab boil. we each had soup and salad for appetizers. I got the potato soup which was good but if it had cheese and bacon on it would be amazing.
Our server Brittany was super nice and attentive. I felt so bad because another one of her tables kept giving her a hard time because they had paper napkins instead of linen ones. I’m a server too so I know how difficult and ignorant some people can be to us. But Brittany took time to explain the new menu and make sure my endless shrimp plate stayed full!
The manger was super nice and talked to us before we left. The shrimp scampi here was the best I’ve ever had! I will return!

I had an excellent experience at this Red Lobster. We arrived at about 1145 and there was no wait. The waiter came right away and asked if we were there for lunch and how long we had. We truly appreciated that he was being conscientious of our time. We ordered and our food arrived in perfect timing and guess what. he kept those infamous Red Lobster biscuits flowing!!!
I would definitely visit this location again for lunch.
To a several bad experiences at other Red Lobsters I was expecting the worse! I was glad to be proven wrong!!!

Great Service indeed! Waiter was nice and courteous and awesome.
My friend had the lobster pizza and lobster mashed potatoes. He commented that it was more portions of lobstermeat than other Red Lobster places.
For me… omg. the worst burger. Meat was stale. I had to saw into the bread. Overcooked. I did not complain as my friend wanted seafood and I hate seafood. I am never setting a foot in here again. Fries portion was meager at the most maybe it was the plating but I am never coming back no matter who in my party wants to come here. My friend paid. I did not complain for his sake but if I was with another person or family I would have blew through the roof and made the manager taste a piece of it and feel how hard the bottom of the bun was when I sawed it apart.

I don’t recommend getting the snow crab it takes so long to de-​shell even though it does taste really good. It was too much work and everyone was waiting on me to finish my meal… and for what you get with that plate I was still hungry. If I go to Red Lobster again I’m definitely finding something easier to eat on the menu lol!

Red Lobster has been one of my favorite restaurants for a long time. I think we can all agree that the cheddar biscuits are literally one of the greatest food items ever conjured. The service, quality, and speed have never been issues. The food is always delicious. I had the Lobster today (what a shock — Lobster from Red Lobster). Other dishes included the wood fire grill steak, shrimp and crab. Over time, I’ve sampled various platters and combos — each of which is delicious. I think the only problem I have is that there’s so much food that I eat myself into oblivion. That’s obviously my fault though. The chocolate lava cookie looks amazing but I’ve never had room for it. Always recommended — one of my favorite restaurants of all time
