Red Lobster

I wish Unilocal would allow a half of a star. Me & my fiancé took his auntie which was visiting from DC Red lobster opened at 11 a. m we arrived at Red lobster at 11:30 a.m. The place was smelly and the floor was dirty. I order a cheese burger to my surprise it was hard and burnt. Our waitress «SAM» a 3 out of 10. Yet I still tipped her good. I want be going back there anytime soon.

If I could give no stars I would, not only did they bring me the wrong meal, they told me that they didn’t even have what I ordered. wth??? The coconut shrimp were tougher then beef jerky, and it took a most 15 min after we sat to even get someone to take our order.man.why bother keep going. I’m not going back.

Standard reviews. Nothing great or special to say.

I just had a wonderful dinner for the first time at Red Lobster. Experience was very nice. I was greeted at the front door and told that there would be a 15 minute wait but they got to see that pretty quickly. When I got to the table I was a little overwhelmed by the menu because of all the choices and it was a little confusing but after waiting through it for a little while and with the advice from our server Whitney I was able to find what I wanted. My girlfriend had lobster and shrimp and I like the sides that they have with it. I had lobster and shrimp two ways. And it was delicious I love the dredge. I’m going to be talking about those biscuits for a long time they are amazing holy mackerel. I would love to have that with country gravy and crumbled crispy bacon that sounds so good. Kudos too Whitney and did an awesome job as our server.

Nancy is such a sweetheart! It’s my first time to come here since I was a baby. And let me tell you, we had great customer service because of her. She always made sure we’re okay and she recommended us the most delicious food!!! Thankful I had her as my server :)

This was the worst dining I’ve had in a while I don’t ever eat here and was leaving six flags we had a big group and was starving! The host was so classless the wait was almost a hour the food was terrible the vegetables were soggy. It was pieces of the cork in our wine glasses, the manager made excuses for the wait instead of apologizing it was horrible! He ended up comping us after we ripped him a new hole! Never again

Usually sit at the bar, watch the game and eat. For whatever reason, the bar was closed at 9:15pm. There was one patron still sitting there, but the bar was «closed.» I was seated at the farthest table from the entrance, and not a soul even acknowledged my presence again until 9:32. Not even extended a glass of water. At this point I was occupying their booth just to find somewhere else to eat.

Food is good, BUT, service is bad!!! Very disappointed on it!!!
We waited for more than 30mins NO ONE stopped by and placed a to go order for us. It does not take more than 5 mins for write down an order, does it ???

I’m a fan of Red Lobster no matter what city I’m visiting. Had some family visiting and wanted to have drinks. We sat at the bar. People forget Red Lobster has a full bar and it’s really nice.
We ordered Apple martinis, dirty martinis and sangria.
Had some warm biscuits and cheese sticks as appetizers. Bartender was a lovely woman
With a great laugh, wish I could remember her name!!!
Atmosphere was the best!

This was my first time entering a red lobster and as the good was terrific, it seemed as if there needs to be more waiters to help on the floor. Our waiter was very nice, courteous, and didn’t seem bothered with the million things we needed. But it just seemed like he had way too much on his plate more then waiters should normally have. After our salads, the wait time seemed wayyyyyyyyy too long. We ordered the calamari and stuffed mushrooms appetizers which were amazing! Their biscuits are absolutely delicious! However they start to look like they get very skimp on the servings the second go around. I had the admirals feast which I was disappointed as it didn’t look too much like the picture on the menu. However my father ordered the surf and turf and my girlfriend ordered the coconut shrimp with chicken scampi and scallops and loved it.

I absolutely love Red Lobster in any City. However, each time I have dined in Vallejo-​I walk away with a full stomach, a lighter purse and a good feeling.
The greeters are very friendly and the wait is never too bad. The wait staff are very friendly, courteous & eager to please. I enjoy the banter, but I love when they know I am serious & I need them to run & hold the largest lobster in the tank.
I dined here last in March to celebrate my Son’s birthday and he had a wonderful time. I believe the wait staff acknowledged 10 birthdays easy while we were there.
Judging by how full the restaurant stays, people love the food and excellent service.
There are not many dishes that I have not tried. I am never disappointed with the food taste & presentation. I also take out a lot and when I get home, all condiments are packaged just right and in good portion.
I would give this Red Lobster 5+ stars. They have earned it every time.

Good food, great service! !!!
Bad drinks, don’t waste your money in alcoholic drinks cuz you ain’t getting one.
And don’t come here hungry cuz you have to wait hours before you can start eating.

Service is slower than I’d like. Biscuits are good WHEN fresh; if not, they are cold and hard. Entrees are a bit on the pricey side. I love their lobster mac n cheese. I also enjoyed the lobster linguini. Unfortunately, my lobster tail entrée was overdone.

«Bay Harbor lobster bake»
Superb meal for those rainy days, if you like a variety of different types of seafood, and linguine then this is right up your alley. The garlic white wine sauce is unbelievably good. As soon as the lobster bake arrives at your table, your senses will go crazy. The aroma is out of this world. I highly recommend this dish. And on top of the excellent food, service was great.

Nancy was our server and she was the sweetest! We live in Walnut Creek but will come back to this red lobster because of her excellent service! The food was yummy too!

Ended up here after fright fest on Halloween with my #squad STARVING– ended up waiting well over an hour to seat us and the restaurant wasn’t even full. 40 minutes from closing and we finally get seated separately (WHY?! I seriously don’t get the logic for this. We were sat down in two booths farther apart than necessary when there were surrounding booths closer to one another). The poor server had to wait on both of us, but she was super nice! Brought us cheddar biscuits, made good recommendations and quite a friendly chatter.
Some of us ordered endless shrimp (kinda worth the $$) and it was surprisingly delicious. Since we were served so late and the kitchen was closing up soon, our nice server made sure to load up what we wanted even with the 3 item limit so that we would be able to get whatever we wanted to try. The food over was pretty mediocre– we tried the mozzarella sticks and friend calamari appetizers (good crunch, pretty greasy), garlic mussels (super tiny, but very flavorful), the endless shrimp (TIP: comes with a side + a salad but you can totally sub the salad with an additional side), some lobsters (meh), and fish & chips (fries were so meh and thick). One notable item was definitely the mash potatoes! A must try!
Service overall was pretty good I liked our main server — she was attentive, friendly, cool, and super accommodating! She helped us figure out how to split our checks even before we let her know! However, everyone else (especially the people at the host stand) were a bit standoffish. When our dishes were served they mixed things between our party’s two separate (still far!) tables.
TLDR; average food, average — meh service, good place if you’re starving and just need to eat.

Celebrated my birthday here recently with family friends. Our older server was a sweetheart with a helpful and servile attitude.
The surf and turf, pasta dishes and desserts were simply delicious. The ambiance was relaxing and pleasant. We will come back more often.

Dear Management
It is time to remove the carpet… The old smell take away from the yummy seafood you serve!!!
Your Loyal Customer

Shrimp lovers beware… today I had the unfortunate experience of trying the endless shrimp… besides the first set of shrimp I recieved, everything thereafter was rubbery and appeared to be reheated in the microwave. The only nice thing about this tasteless experience was the pleasant waitress in training «Julie“and my Margarita. This also reminds me why I do not like sitting in the bar… you do not get the attention or assistance you need which is understandable since it is the bar. Our actual server Ricardo seemed unconcerned and when I brought the rubber to his attention he simply stated oh and took it away… needless to say my money would have been better spent donating to the homeless.

This place is perfect if you feel like eating seafood. A lot of seafood choices. I tried the crab cake and grilled salmon with lobster sauce. Not bad.
