Red Lobster

Excellent service and the wait time was nothing. Got seated immediately. Definitely a place to visit when family come into town for something quick and easy.

Over priced. French fries were warm and not enough besides warm oysters to add to that. I won’t be going there anytime in the next 20years

Been an hour and just had a seat. Service was clumsy. My food came without a fork and knife and they didn’t come for 10 mins
The calamari and borocolli appetizer was mainly crisp and borocolli with very sparse calamari
Prolly won’t go back

Everyone knows what to expect from red lobster, somewhat pricey good seafood, and of course free cheddar biscuits.
That’s exactly what you’ll get here. Took the gf last weekend. She had the ultimate feast and I had the unlimited shrimp. Everything was good, the only gripe I had was that two of the shrimp options are essentially the same thing, only with one on a skewer and the other in some garlicky sauce. Everything was delicious though. Red lobster does what it does well, but nothing about it is extraordinary. Still a good place for date night though.

Red Lobster has lost there touch. My server was excellent. I order the endless shrimp. The new Habanero pineapple coconut shrimp was amazing. The down side to the visit was the host set us down and didn’t tell our waitress that we needed to be served. Which caused us to wait to even get drinks. The shrimp in the Alfredo linguine were under cooked. I really do commended our waitress for being a awesome server!

Slow night should have made things a piece of cake, but… kitchen screwups with the salad shrimp and shrimp cocktail; slow getting our featured cocktail from a near empty bar. The meal itself was a B-​, though it seemed they put a little extra into it to balance out the start of the night.
Through it all and though he’s been there only a short time, Davonte kept it tight. He was consistent to check in with us and didn’t over-​apologize or patronize us.
Will likely do a lunch along and ask for Davonte, but we won’t be regulars.

I’m usually not a fan of Red Lobster, but I was so hungry, and I had a gift card, so I said «why not?». My server was very nice and attentive. The food was delicious. I ordered the stuffed lobster and crab mushrooms as an appetizer. They were good. The Caesar side salad I had, had a few brown older leaves, and there was too much dressing. For dinner I ordered the Parmesan crusted chicken with Alfredo. It was amazing. The chicken was tender and juicy, the Alfredo sauce was creamy and flavorful. I would definitely go back.

Excellent service from our server Jonathan, he did an outstanding job. My husband enjoyed his lobster and the biscuits were amazing as always, but everything else was terrible and so salty we couldn’t even eat it (and we LOVE salt).

Went on a Thursday night and was promptly seated, for there was not many customers. Our waitress was very polite and was attentive to our needs I.e. Making sure our beverages were full and how our dinner was.
The meal itself was really good, yet it did take a little while for us to get our food but we were in no rush. Have to say though that with all red lobster locations, the clientele tend to be dressed relaxed, so if you are wanting to grab some sea food after work or maybe a casual date night, then this is your place.
Bad side– be smart with your food selections for they like to add a lot of salt to their menus. Very high in calories and sodium!

in our fast paced sea food loving society, red lobster is king. well let me tell you something: its a tyrannical ruler and ive had ENOUGH!!!
red lobsteer is not a good restaurant. im sorry its just not. if your grandparents make you go here all the time like me, you will understand. there is literally ONE vegetarian meal. i dont do that pescatarian crap. the only veg option is these gross vegetaqble skewers and the one time i got them they were SO SSALTY YOU HAVE NO IDEA. ITS LIKE THEY HAD NO OTHER FLAVOR EXCEPT SALT. I WAS GAGGING.
you might think the cheesy biscuits are redeeming. well i must admit they are pretty good. but alas yo ucannot just o\rder those at red lobster. they are free with your meal, but what if i dONT WANT A MEAL??? I JUST WANT THOSE SWEET SWEET BISCUITS and you cant get the «free» bscuits if you doint buy their other gross food.
it is so dark and it smells so bad in there like feet and moldy cheese biscuits. there is NO CELLPHONE RECEPTION IN THERE. BEWARE IF YOU HAVE VERIZON YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO EVEN USE YOU R PHONE.
i dont know how the other food is because i cant even eat it. please save yoursel f the time and money, you can buy a kit at the store to make the biscuits at home. this is a good life hack youre welcome

Dinner was delicious, service was excellent and restaurant was very clean. Great experience! I had the grilled seafood trio and it was cooked to perfection!

What a pleasant surprise. I received a gift card to Red Lobster and hadn’t used it in a year. My daughter was in town, and we decided to give it a try. The restaurant was clean, the food good, and the service excellent! I will definitely come back again. Nice job Red Lobster.

Not bad! The starters are really awesome! Sweet shrimps and oysters are amazing. Oysters are so fresh with lemon juice and hot pepper sauce. The entrée is very normal to eat, not very special. But I have to say, the dessert looks delicious and tastes good. The best part is the menu. Every dish has a picture. The server is also very nice!

I would almost give this place an ok review… But when husband and I went last, about two months ago, all I could smell was garbage… Or rotten milk. It was gross!!! That was all you could smell… Ugh!

I don’t enjoy dining at chain restaurants & this trip with my family to Red Lobster topped the charts as to why I do not eat at places like this.
Our waiter started off pretty good, but got consistently worse after the drinks were brought.
I ordered Tilapia, green beans, and broccoli – how could you possibly screw that easy meal up? BY ADDING AN ENTIRE CONTAINER OF GARLIC SALT TO THE OVERCOOKED/​OUTDATED BROCCOLI!
The green beans were ok, nothing special & the fish was just YUCK!
I took one bite of the broccoli and it had soooo much salt on it, I had to spit it out in a napkin – I know, I know – TMI and GROSS!
The ladies room was no better. There were 2 employees standing at the mirror having a nice long chat while the restroom had 3 or 4 stalls and only 1 had tissue in it.
I wish I hadn’t been in the minority on the decision-​making process of this lunch!

I am not in the habit of writing one-​star reviews. Red Lobster as a chain is consistently, year after year, just a really, really bad dining choice and, more particularly, my most recent visit showed that while the Tallahassee location may have just undergone a remodel, it is still just lipstick on a pig.
I am from right on the Gulf Coast and know what good seafood is. Good seafood ought to be fresh and need not be expensive (especially in a place as close to the coast as Tallahassee) and also doesn’t need to be gimmicky. Red Lobster is the Olive Garden of seafood — literally — it’s the same corporate operation. I never come here of my own volition, but, inevitably, someone with no taste decides to make me shell out $ 20 a plate at one of these atrocities to food.
That’s the worst part about Red Lobster. Captain D’s has the same quality of food (and tastes better) and is half the price. Almost nothing on the menu is under $ 15 per person, and much of it is substantially more.
All of the fish I’ve had at Red Lobster is formless and tasteless. Snapper? Grouper? Tilapia? Who knows? They all taste and look the same here, served with flavorless vegetables and boring mashed potatoes.
During my most recent visit, even the Caesar Salad wasn’t very good. It had like 3 croutons and had more dressing than greens. It was basically a Caesar Soup.
Then, knowing that I didn’t want to spend $ 15-​$ 20 on the same sorry Red Lobster seafood I’d had before, I thought I’d choose an affordable and basically impossible to screw up dish — fish & chips. About all I can say is that the fries were pretty good. The (cod?) was dry, overcooked, and did not have very much flavor. In all seriousness, the fish & chips at Beef O’Brady’s is better, and that is not saying much. Also, it again proves how overpriced Red Lobster is that for over $ 12 you get two medium size pieces of fish and a side of fries. I’m pretty sure that’s the $ 3.99 Tuesday special at Captain D’s, and they’d probably give you a drink.
Speaking of drinks, the cheapest wines on the menu (we are talking Sutter Home and Robert Mondavi stuff here) are over $ 6 a glass. I generally don’t drink at restaurants because I am (obviously) price conscious, but the brands they are pushing at those prices? It’s a travesty.
I could tell that the Tallahassee location had some servers and hosts who really cared, but we had a lengthy wait when the restaurant was nearly empty at 7:30 p.m. (the senior citizens who keep Red Lobster in business had already cleared out) and our server was incredibly awkward and slow, even though she WAS trying and was friendly. And finally, and worst of all, as we were getting ready to leave I saw a server carrying a tray of food to a table stop, and set it down on top of the sink in the server’s area to fiddle with the computer system. While she did this, another worker who had been washing something, after waiting a moment, decided to go ahead and pour the bucket of dirty cleaning water in the sink, RIGHT NEXT TO THE FOOD! Now, I didn’t see anything splashing, but you know that’s a violation. Why not serve the food THEN get on the computer? Why not WAIT to pour the bucket of dirty water into the sink 2 inches from a plate of freshly prepared mussels? I don’t know, but it really was the cherry on top of yet another miserable visit to Red Lobster.

We go to Red Lobster for a couple of reasons: 1) I can get snow crab and 2) I can get garlic-​cheddar biscuits. I have lived in Tallahickey since 1990 and I have rarely gotten a bad meal from this restaurant, though admittedly I have gone long periods without eating there. The service was good this time around. I had lobster bisque, which was hot, creamy, and loaded with bits of lobster. Not chunks, but bits. It tasted good, but not fantastic. The biscuits were hot and garlicky and fresh from the oven. A-​plus. I had snow crab. It tasted very fresh even though I know it was flash-​frozen. RL is accommodating and will let me order a half pound of crab sans the full meal. That fills me up. My guy had grilled salmon and shrimp with steamed veggies. He liked the fish well enough, but did not care for the barbeque sauce on the fish. It was cooked just right. He still ate every bite.
The restaurant was reasonably clean, though it is getting that odor that indicates it needs a good carpet cleaning and steaming along with a good degreasing for the tables. I am also having some issues with Darden’s business practices, but that is another story altogether. This is about food. I will have to think on the other matter.

Mandatory Cheese biscuits! Ordered off the specials menu, seafood was nothing more than «meh»! Average sized portions.

Gritty clam chowder that I was ready to excuse before they told me the chowder is not prepared in house.
Overcooked shrimp in the skampi
Hostesses that just stare at you as you come through the door, rather than greeting you.
I remember when Red Lobster used to be a decent place to eat.

The service here for the most part is great at anytime. But this last time was weird because they didn’t have the cheddar biscuits! We didn’t get the biscuits until after our meals were received. :-(We normally like to have a few drinks with salad and biscuits and bring the meal home. (I know we can’t be the only ones). But this place is pretty consistent with the service and quality of food. But at times the food can get pretty greasy.
