    I haven't been to Red Lobster in a long time. This experience will bring me back again. The service was stellar. The salmon that I got was wonderful it was the New Orleans salmon. The atmosphere was clean and comfortable. We didn't feel rushed... overall a wonderful experience that will bring me back to coming to Red Lobster more often.

    Really enjoyed the lunch specials. The shrimp were cooked to perfection. The virgin margaritas were great but over priced. I'm enrolled in the membership program and enjoyed the benefits from the points earned.

    Visited my local (NW Albuquerque, New Mexico) Red Lobster (#6280) restaurant (10520 Coors Bypass NW, Albuquerque NM 87114) on Sunday, Oct. 29, 2023 around 12:30PM. Party of two (2). This particular day, we did NOT have to wait to be seated. Our charming, super impressive Greeter/Server, (Ms. Ashley M.), guided us to our table within 60 seconds of arriving. Awesome! We ordered a Calamari appetizer ($13.29), an order of "Shrimp Your Way" for $17.00 (Coconut Shrimp & Walt's Favorite), an order of Lobster & Shrimp Tacos ($17.99), one House Salad ($1.99), a Sweet Iced Tea ($3.69) and a complimentary iced water w/fresh lemon. "Ashley M." also informed me that I had a free Desert earned through "My Red Lobster Rewards". Yessss!! Total, including tax, was $58.08. We usually Dine-in or Carryout at this Red Lobster restaurant about 5 or 6 times yearly. It's NOT our go-to preference mainly because we seem to usually go when the place is packed w customers and there's barely enough standing space during the "wait". Our last Dine-in visit was during the 2022 Christmas season. Sadly, too often during busier times in the past there was usually something 'missing' from our dine-in Order, or the 'wait' for our meal to make it to the table seemed excessive. Also, the Wait Staff during past visits, appeared overrun! Too many hungry guests and not enough Servers! Yikes! This latest visit was PERFECT! Ms. Ashley M. was VERY attentive to not only us, but other guests seated nearby as well! She explained Menu items to us, checked on us throughout the meal, answered our questions, responded to our requests (for extra napkins), and gave us direct eye contact through it all! She was patient, respectful, courteous and had the most AMAZING Customer Service skillset. We were so surprised at how excellent the FOOD tasted and how professional the Service was (compared to previous visits) that we wondered if this location changed Management since our last visit!😉 Very, very enjoyable dining experience, made even more Special because of Ms. Ashley M.! Hope you enjoyed the Balloon Bouquet we gifted you! Five Bright Stars for this entire Red Lobster Restaurant #6280 Team!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Save yourself the headache. Every time we go there it is worse. Never again. Every single rolled silverware was dirty and coated in food bits. The table was sticky. Beer was warm. The quality of food is on par with heated microwave leftovers. And the best part - we have had food poisoning for days. The health department needs to be informed. This is disgusting.

    The lobster tails were incredibly small. For the price you pay the shrimp was bigger than the lobster. I was shocked! OH.. and they were all out of salads? the little bit of food we did have was good. Just really disappointed at the portions wasn't worth what we paid. I could have bought bigger lobster at the store and paid way less. It was also my birthday and my husband told the lady when we got there but I didn't even get a free dessert. After spending so much money again not worth it.

    Ileana was our server and she was amazing. So friendly, helpful and gave great recommendations. We never had to ask for refills and when we asked for something, she got it right away. Food was hot and delicious. My husband and son got shrimp your way and they got so much they couldn’t eat it all and had to take it home. I got the bacon maple chicken and it was delicious. Biscuits were hot and fresh and always good. The only bad thing is it was freezing in the restaurant so our food got cold fast.

    We were very unimpressed with the quality of the food at this location. The mussels, lobster and crab legs were extremely dry. The grilled shrimp was also overcooked and tough. I’m not sure if this experience is consistent with the quality of food of this restaurant… but this was bad.

    Can’t wait ! It’s Lent, an I can’t eat meat on Friday so my daughter & I decided to go eat at Red Lobster. We hadn’t eaten there since before COVID. They have a Fish & Chip special for $13.99 on Fridays. Wow! Large Portions & Delicious! We had outstanding customer service everyone was so nice ! I can’t wait until next Friday to go again! Give it a try doesn’t cost much more then a Filet O Fish meal and so much better. I’m no longer stressing what to eat on Fridays I can’t wait to go back again!

    I hate to say it, but the first half of our meal, we experienced probably the worst service we've ever had. Our drinks took a very long time to arrive. We asked for straws and waited for maybe 10 minutes before having to ask again. My wife asked for sweetener for her tea, and that took another 5 minutes. Our appetizer of seafood mushrooms arrived at the table, but we were not given plates. So we asked for plates. While our nice hot mushrooms sat, cooling, we waited another 10 minutes to be brought plates. At this point I was ready to ask for the manager, but I had to use the restroom. When I came back, our appetizer plates had been cleared and my sprite refilled without asking, to my surprise. The 2nd half of the meal apparently our waiter got himself together and we had no further issues, so I gave 2 stars instead of 1 for service. I personally have to think that this is a training issue. Simple things should be addressed right away and you shouldn't be sitting waiting for what you need to enjoy your meal. It wasn't crowded, as we were eating lunch after 2 pm. I will say, the fish and chips was some of the best I've had. Not sure I'd go back due to the service however.

    First time at this Red Lobster and it had a beautiful bar, nice and clean. David my bartender was absolutely wonderful. I tried several dishes and all of them were fabulous. The biscuits are to die for and it's impossible to just eat one!!! Will definitely come back in for lunch

    Waitress was inattentive and seemed peeved when simple requests were made. Shrimp skewer was cold, rice and Mac and Cheese were nasty. Brussel Sprouts were burnt. Mashed potatoes and clam chowder were average. $100 just for food. We won't be back.

    Pretty sure I saw Shooter McGavin eating here with some other dude in a fly fishing hat. The food is sinfully amazing! If the mass amounts of butter wasn't so terrible for my health, I'd give it 5 stars ^_^. Chris is an awesome service staff member! Management checked in on us, and service was on point but not overbearing. The restaurant was a buzz when we got there, though we didn't have to wait for a table. Always like this Red Lobster location!

    We had dinner Monday night! I didn’t realize they closed at 9pm cause it was already 8:15 or later but anyway… some items from the menu that I requested were unavailable! The turn off the tv so my husband was ready to go cause he was watching the game! The food was on the Cajun chicken pasta was dry… but the biggest problem I have is the waiter adding 5 dollars to his tip!!! We have what we thought he deserved and my bank statement reflects a different amount than what I wrote on the receipt!!!! Never had this happen….

    I always order the same meal at this place, because I love it. But tonight I was so grossed out. And the waitress had this I don’t give a F attitude and they bring me my food with no sauce. So I asked for the sauce they bring it to me cold about 15 minutes later. I had crab legs so I asked for the cracker things to open them. I waited about 15 minutes for them to bring them to me. By the time I got to eat my food, my husband was already done with his. My food was super cold. It was just an overall bad experience. We asked for half of our meal but honestly it should’ve been free because it was disgusting. And the waitresses attitude was so bad.

    It was a Saturday early afternoon, and I thought we were going to get good service. We'll, that didn't happen because I had to ask for my coleslaw 4 times and didn't get it until I was done with my lunch. I never was asked how the food was or for another drink. I then asked for a box, and I received a very small box that clearly showed it was not going to fit my food. Oh, this was the manager that was assisting us with our order! Another service staff finally gave me the correct size box!!

    Okay don't get me wrong it's Red Lobster the food was good very well seasoned and tasty I have a whole bunch of shrimp. I got the unlimited shrimp and probably had six different little dishes. But all of the shrimp was overcooked, that's pretty common though people always overcook Seafood. Everyone's just used to it. The server only stopped by a couple times and he wasn't even busy at all there's like five tables in the entire building. Still waited like 15-20 minutes for our food. We enjoyed it it was fun but for 60 bucks plus a tip they should at least cook the shrimp right.

    Honestly never ate here before and it was my grandmother's birthday. I was so disappointed in the service and food but only because my food was cold by the time a got A1 for my steak. I asked several times for A1 and he forgot to bring it twice so I just sat there while the family ate and finally asked another worker about 10 minutes later. Out table of five hardly had service nobody came to refill our drinks and bring crab crackers after several times of asking. Food was good but just cold.

    Hadn't been to red lobster in a while. I enjoyed a berry sangria, and ordered the ultimate feast. Very tasty, I did enjoy, with a loaded baked potato and a house salad.

  • 4/5 Lessa T. 1 year ago on Google
    Parking was plenty and the host was polite and seat us quickly. I gave 4 stars for the seating arrangement instead of 5 stars. They sat us at a corner in a little room and it was humid in there. My waitress was attentive and polite, whatever I ask for she came back and got it. Great service! The atmosphere is family friendly, they have a sling and a high chair for the kiddos. The restroom didn’t smell like urine and it was kept up. The biscuits was good, it wasn’t salty. It had flavor and it was fluffy. All shrimp dishes tasted good, wasn’t salty was generous with the butter. Shrimp was clean and cut with tail on. It didn’t taste fishy…. My pasta was good just needed a little bit of salt and sauce to taste good. A little bland on that side and overall I enjoyed the atmosphere and the food. The service was great and will go back.

    Started when we were shown to our table by a very friendly and pleasant young man. The atmosphere there is always very relaxing. Our waitress was very friendly, helpful,and accommodating. Our food was delicious. We went out relax and enjoy the afternoon and we got it all. Thank you Red Lobster and your staff. Two thumbs up!!!

    I have never had dinner at Red lobster. I was attracted to the all you can eat shrimp offer on Monday night. I was very impressed. The menu had about eight different options of shrimp. I ate in the bar which surprised me how impressive it was. The bartender was very friendly and service-oriented. I don't believe I waited more than 5 minutes for any order. If you like shrimp, I highly recommend this offer. It goes away in November.

    Nice relaxing place to take the family or for a quiet date. Try the Lobster Bisque soup - it's delicious!

  • 5/5 Joe Grimando (. 1 year ago on Google
    Food was excellent. Orders got mixed up while some took very long to come out. My cocktail was not what I ordered. Server(s) were efficient and very sweet but overehelmingly gracious. All in all I suppose it was better than a disastrous night out to dinner. To reiterate, food was awesome!

  • 5/5 Shellie L. 1 year ago on Google
    We came in super late after buying a car down the road. Even tho it was close to closing time the staff was pleasant and acted like they were happy to see us. The service was awesome and we were well taken care of. Such professionalism was shown to us. Will go back when in that part of town again!

    Okay okay, so. My visit was great staff was awesome. My party and i had a good dinner. I think as a chain, the bar has drastically been lowered. I understand the world has changed, times are different. World renowned Red Lobster is king. Consumers need the balance of eyes view and belly full.

    Visited this particular restaurant yesterday. The food was tasty and the service was also great!

  • 4/5 William C. 1 year ago on Google
    Honestly it exceeded my expectations by a lot. As far as seafood in new mexico goes it's fresh, and they give generous portions with decent flavors, they also give free refills for soda which is nice, it's never something I crave but if your looking for somewhere nice to eat out on a birthday this would be a great place to go.

  • 2/5 Jacqueline H. 2 years ago on Google
    Went out for date night, service was impeccable. However, the food was not in the last what it should have been. Ordered their date night special (steak, shrimp and lobster). Steak was cold, shrimp was cold, lobster was over cooked. The manager was kind enough to make this right for us but we left hungry and unsatisfied. It will be a long while before we go back to them, such a pity.

  • 3/5 Richard F. 2 years ago on Google
    Ate here on 2/16/22 for a late lunch. To start with, the service was excellent, the appetizer and clam chowder were both excellent, and the chardonnay was very good. The fish and chips, however, were the worst I have ever had in Albuquerque. Most of what we got was a big glob of breading, with very little cod. I would expect this from a non-seafood restaurant, but not from a restaurant that specializes in seafood. Once again, the service was great.

  • 1/5 Sheri W. 2 years ago on Google
    We had a very bad experience at the Coors Bypass location. We had a party of 7 with a child, we were told they had no table that a high chair could fit. Then we were told the child couldn't fit on the seat for safety issues, then we were told we had an hour and a half wait. There were at least 10 or 12 empty tables. I understand if staffing might have been an issue but it seemed they did not want to accommodate a group or deal with children but the customer service was sad. It will not be a choice to dine with Red lobster again..We went next door and we were immediately seated and the service was amazing .You would think in these trying times that a business would be grateful for business and learn to accommodate .

    Steak medium rare almost melts in your mouth! Cheese bisquits excellent. Staff friendly and helpful. Great experience. Highly recommend!
