Red Lobster

Called ahead for a shorter wait and still waited 2 ½ hours for a 2 person spot. The wait alone gives them 1 star.

Highly disappointing is the first thing that comes to mind here. It was about 2:30 PM and there were four of us. We were told that the wait would be about twenty minutes, but it was more like 40. The food was flavorless and bland and for the price, trust me, I feel like I could have gotten much better from a fast food joint. Someone in my group got the admiral’s feast and for paying almost twenty bucks for food you think it would be a large amount of food, but not really at all. It was very yuck. Wouldn’t go back.

This Red Lobster is one of the better Red Lobster I have been to. The service was amazing. The food is always great. My server was very attentive and very polite. The manager went around, checking on the tables, as well. I am very impressed.

Do call ahead seating!!! Walked up to an hour+ wait on a Saturday night, but we did call ahead seating and were sat in less than 5 min!
I was really craving some crab legs for my birthday, when I told my husband that I wanted Red Lobster, he kept saying «Really? Are you sure?».
It was really good, and the crab was very sweet!
Of course they have their amazing biscuts! I tried not to spoli my meal by only having 1! I ordered the make your own combo with coconut shrimp and crab legs. Came with a salad and a side. I ate half the salad and didn’t even want to touch my side. I just wanted crab and shrimp! I loved every bite.
Hubs had the ultimate feast. He was very satasified with his meal. He said he was worried my birthday dinner wouldn’t be all that great but even he was impressed with his meal.
The price wasn’t too bad either! Our meals, with 2 or 3 beers (larger size Sam Adams) came to $ 65.

The service is always good, and the food is pretty good too. The only drawback is the wait to eat!

Overall best service I’ve ever had! Fast freshly baked bread and drinks were out fast I ordered the Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes and Crab-​Topped Salmon the salmon was alright didn’t have much flavor as I would of hoped but overall great service and food. I would come back here again. Overall 5 out of 5 stars

Terrible. We went here for my friend’s 50^th birthday and the food was god awful. I know Red Lobster isn’t authentic, no surprise there, but this food tasted like it came out of the freezer and was microwaved. The shrimp tacos had a nasty after taste and the chicken tasted like rubber. Not one person in our group enjoyed their meal.

We decided to go tonite for Good Friday dinner. Hadn’t been in years. WILL NOT GO BACK! Waited over 45 minutes (accepted because of a weekend night). Very unclean. Bussboy wiping tables with dirty towel and pushing garbage on seats and floor. Soup was watery and mediocre. Salad wilted and mushy. Shrimp no better than frozen from the grocery store. Baked potato obviously reheated in microwave (gluey) and dessert a joke and this special was not cheap either! Steer clear!

I was very disappointed to find last time I went to this restaurant they have changed their menu and took off the one vegetarian option they once had available. I had to create my own entrée, and was heavier than I would’ve liked. I won’t likely be returning, unless I was to order a meal of all sides– no thanks!

This is my favorite restaurant. The staff is always very helpful. The food has always been of great. Sometimes the service is a little slow. they have great frozen drinks & a lot of different and great desserts to choose from. Endless shrimp is the best!

I’m Helmi Younan and I talked my mom into going to this place in Nov. 2014. I been to Red Lobster about 5 times ever. I liked this place the BEST … the waitress was on time and nice !!! I killed a two pound lobster by myself and it was AWESOME. well worth it … the new menu is AWESOME too with drinks and everything else !!! Sure was a lot seniors in there but hey if you got it – SPEND it !!! Why not live it up !!! I think as teens grow up — they’ll love RED LOBSTER. I plan on going to this one on a regular basis !!!

Once I got out of the hospital I knew the shrimp fest ended 11−2−14, So this was on my immediate list.
Walked in at 1pm & were promptly seated, Cat our server arrived right away & took drink orders, when she returned we both ordered the endless shrimp $ 16 pp.
I ordered the Caesars salad, the bride ordered coleslaw, I had to send the Caesars salad back as it was way too salty, Cat apologized and said «our dressing is made with fresh anchovies and at times can be too much «
She was very cool about it & swapped it for a tossed salad.
My 1^st shrimp order was:
Garlic Shrimp Scampi
Sriracha Grilled Shrimp
Hand-​Breaded Shrimp
The Shrimp Scampi was EXCELLENT & the hand breaded was very good!
I did not care at all for the shrimp Sriracha at all…
on my refill I ordered
Coconut Shrimp Bites
Hand-​Breaded Shrimp
Parmesan Shrimp Scampi
Parmesan Shrimp Scampi was excellent… much like the garlic scampi, but the aged Parmesan gave it a nice bite
Coconut shrimp was golden brown perfection & that addictive sweet dipping sauce
Cat kept our table clear & provided to go boxes, good experience
4 stars, because the lobby-​common areas-​booths-​bathrooms are tired, this place needs an update

Calamari appetizer was dry and tasted like cardboard. It was the worst calamari I’ve ever had.

This particular Red Lobster was clean — OMG!!! Now that is an anomoly. You should visit the one on Telegraph at Warren Rd., ugh! Went to Red Lobster for a birthday dinner — my son, he chose this particular place. So, here I am with my favorite people, my son, his wife and my two beautiful grandchildren! I am very happy and out come the rolls! Ohhhhh, if I remember the rolls are to die for!
I tell myself I can have one only. So, I take one and lo and behold it was not as delicious as I remembered. I can do without all these extra calories so I put it aside. I decide on crab legs. Yummmmm. But, you have to work to get your food!
Everyone else gets ready to eat meals and here I am, only having done this one time before, struggling with the cracker to get my meat out of those darned legs!!! Ugh.
Had a great time and I would highly recommend this restaurant — don’t go to the other one that I mentioned — it is mighty scarey!!!

DH, MIL and I went here for unlimited shrimp dinner on Sunday night around 8:15. We only had to wait a minute, literally. We tried the wasabi soy grilled shrimp, fried shrimp, and shrimp alfredo. We each got Caesar salad and biscuits… oh the biscuits. I confess that I really don’t need the shrimp, a basket of biscuits would do the trick. The wasabi soy had a good flavor, but when I started my second skewer, they started to just taste gross. The fried shrimp were pretty standard, and the portion was plentiful. The shrimp alfredo was too saucy for me, but the flavor is what I would expect from an alfredo (maybe they go next door to the OG and get it!).
Our server was friendly and I don’t think we have ever had a bad server here. She was prompt with refills in beverages and shrimp. As soon as she brought one refill she asked what we would like next.

I love this place.
This was my first time at a Red Lobster in my life, I was always put off by them being a chain and always thought the food would be low quality. But I was really craving seafood for my birthday and read the reviews and decided to give this place a shot, and boy am I happy that I did.
The drinks were amazing, delicious mixed drinks where I couldn’t taste the alcohol. I do wish they’d given me time to finish it before bringing our food out because once I eat I can’t drink alcohol.
Anyway, the food was delicious. Often fish is either under or overcooked, but my salmon and shrimp were perfect. And I am the pickiest salmon eater, they left the skin on, which some people like, but it comes off easily. Their tartar sauce wasn’t generic, it was a little sweet, and it complimented my fish perfectly. I also had crispy red skinned potatoes that were light, crispy and hot when they were brought to the table.
Our waitress asked us right away if it was a special occasion and despite the warning I gave to my mother in the parking lot she still blurted out that it was my birthday. I have nothing against birthday celebrations but I don’t want the attention from it, the waitress was nice about not making it a big deal and discreetly brought me a dish of ice cream with a candle because she insisted I had to at least make a wish. She was super friendly, fast and very thoughtful. Her name was Janice, try to sit in her section.
The price was lower than I expected, for 2 people it came to $ 45. The portions were good, not the American supersize you get at most places, but completely filling and even though I finished my meal I couldn’t have eaten another bite. Luckily my birthday cake was at home and I had 18 minutes between Red Lobster and cake for my food to settle.
I don’t go out to eat often but I always do for my birthday. Most often I’m disappointed with the food wherever I go and I can say for the first time in 40 years I had a perfect birthday dinner and will probably repeat the experience next year.

This place continues to worse and worse. Prices continue to go up, while quality of the food continues to decrease. The Ultimate Feast, my personal favorite, is now north of $ 25, while the quality of the crab legs and lobster is awful compared to 5 or 10 years ago. Also, my favorite appetizer, the New England Appetizer Sampler, has been removed from the menu.
Next time I want seafood, I will head over to Mitchell’s, spend the same amount, and get better quality food.

Meh, Why do I keep coming back here? Because the piña colada dipping sauce for the coconut shrimp is amazing in my mouth!
The food is so so and super expensive for what you get… sub-​par seafood.
Note to self, don’t come back here…

Great food as always… had the shrimp Alfredo and coconut shrimp. I LOVE their piña colada sauce. it is muy delicioso…
Biscuits are awesome as well

Went back with some friends on St Patrick’s Day. Who’d have thought that Red Lobster would be PACKED? Apparently when you think of green beer and corned beef, you think of Red Lobster.
There was a 30 minute wait but the service and food made it worthwhile! Another great visit — kudos to Karen for stellar service during a really busy afternoon.
