    The food was ok, not full portion sizes. They do need to deep clean their establishment. There were spider webs on the windows, dust buildup on the lighting hanging over the table.

    The all you can eat shrimp was great. I miss having the new shrimp favor was the only downside. I will be back! I only took a picture of my salad because when the shrimps came, I began eating. Lol I came today as a birthday reward of a free dessert. My meal was the admiral feast, which was excellent. Today, I had the one pound crabs over crispy potatoes. Excellent!! Yummy with garlic butter. I came back for all you can eat shrimp

    Made a curbside order of about $60. Food was brought out quickly. Person who brought it out didn't speak when i said hi, just shoved the bag through my window. Got the food home and it was cold and tasted old, very disappointed. Portions were child sized.

    I had the lobster & salmon combo meal, and the salmon was to die for! It was perfectly cooked & seasoned - the best I've ever had. On the other hand, however, the lobster was the worst I've ever had! There was no meat inside - just skin or fat or whatever it was! It was chewy like bubble gum or chitlins, and had no taste whatsoever. You could pick it up with your fork and wiggle it like spaghetti. When I brought it to their attention, the manager offered me a replacement, which I gladly accepted. IBD if the second lobster wasn't as bad as the first one, if not worse. I asked what creek they got the lobsters from because they even looked pitiful. I also asked if they had received other complaints regarding the lobsters. The manager said they had other complaints. She also mentioned there had been supply issues, so their lobsters had come from an alternate source. Well, that explained it all!!! The solution she offered was $10 off, which I gladly accepted as well.

    The food was well prepared and tasty. The waiter was attentive. A good selection of food items. I was pleasantly surprised as it has been my experience lately that chain restaurants often do not live up to their reputation, but Red Lobster on the visit did very well.

    The food was prepared perfectly and elegantly on our plates. Even my rake home boxes were quality. Enjoyable atmosphere and customer service.

    The staff was extremely friendly including the manager Leslie! I used to visit her when she worked at St. Peter’s and followed her out to maple wood! She is the main reason I continue to come back after all these years! Denise is also a huge asset to the Red Lobster organization! Always excellent service when those two are around! Only thing I would change for is the stuffed shrimp or potato shrimp back!

    We dined on a Tuesday to enjoy the Two Tuesday deal and it was a deal for sure. The meal includes a lobster tail, shrimp kabob, salmon, and 2 sides. The seafood was topped with tomatoes, garlic & a yummy brown butter sauce. You get 2 entrees for the price of one. Great deal & a tasty meal. Check out their website for other daily specials.

    Endless Shrimp (scampi and grilled on skewer were my choice), with Cheddar Biscuits, Seafood Stuffed Mushrooms caps, Chip and dip, Lobster Mac n Cheese, and Peach Sangria in a lighthouse glass for me to keep. I wish I could remember my waitress name, she was very attentive and professional. All the staff was. I've eaten take out, but my dine in experience.....excellent. 😁💋

    If you go on a busy night (Friday night, Saturday night etc.) Be prepared to wait an hour as they are very short staffed. I went during lunch on a Tuesday and was seated right away. The food was sensational, albeit a bit small of a serving size but you just gotta load up on cheddar biscuits. Overall it was a delicious meal with a great server.

    The food was just alright haven't been there in a long long time, this time I said I'm going to try something different, I usually get the surf&turf The lobster and steak so this time I tried The ultimate shimp that was OK it needs more seasoning for real but that's just me I like that I was able to eat as much of the fried shrimps that I wanted. I don't like the ideal that what u don't finish u can't take wit you, just my opinion........

    While I am enjoying the endless shrimp promotion. It was during this visit that I realize that they had raised the price. I have noticed that this Red lobster is so short-staffed at they only allow you to do one refill at a time to help the kitchen stay caught up... That was a major drawback but the food was delicious and our server she was absolutely amazing. Even though the restaurant seems to be short-staffing the front and back of the house, our server did her absolute best to make sure we were good, and for that I appreciate.

    For a party of 1 , I had a one hour twenty seven minute wait. I asked to set at the bar, but the host refused. After seeing others being setted that came in after me and another ten minutes, I spoke with someone else, Allen (new female manager), and was informed that I could set at the bar. Now, the bartender, Bob, seemed a little pressed for time but took care of me. Although the lady who set me at the bar stated she would comp the drink and made the drink, but when the bill came, stated that she said she would just make it. Leaving me confused because the bartender could have made it if that was the case. Very understaffed and no care for a customer time. I came in at 6:52 pm and didn't leave til 9:47 pm. Not how I planned on spending my Saturday night.

    the tiny meal depicted is called Surf and Turf, and its $39.99+ decent time of 17 minutes, although I waited at least 5 before they came and talked to me. disappointed with the proportions of the main entree. 😕 On top of that, I ordered a medium steak and even made a comment saying, "Better undercooked than over," in which the order taker replied, "I feel you on that." Then they came back and asked me again how I wanted it cooked. I reiterated, "Better to undercook it than over cook it, but I'd like a medium." Well done is what I got....perhaps I complicated matters by using extra words. on a positive note, the staff was genuinely friendly, and the manager gave me a free drink while I waited.

    So I have some mixed feelings about this review, which normally doesn’t happen. So I ordered the snow crab legs which is on special the crab was very small and the legs were Chinese. There isn’t much meat for what you get and then my plate had been overcooked, including the potatoes. They were totally crispy and didn’t have any substance to them because it was all over cooked. No fault to the waitress who had been good. So normally I just write a bad review and MoveOn but I figured I had better speak up because if it was a appalling Meal. She was absolutely wonderful and management did repair place the plate. So the outcome was very nice. I just wished it had been cooked correctly to begin with and was a little bit better but the presentation is wonderful. The flavor is great. The parking here is good. You can see the cars from almost anywhere. The interior definitely needs a good updating. A lot of the upholstery not only didn’t match, but was dirty the wood was worn. The carpet is worn. The interior is dated. The ceiling has definitely seen better days and is very dingy And needs to probably be replaced even for health concerns. But the service was good.

  • 3/5 Vanessa S. 1 year ago on Google
    I ordered the Admirals Feast and a house salad because Red Lobster usually have good salads and my sister ordered the shrimp trio. The food was pretty bland and tasteless for what they charged us, I was expecting much better. I had high hopes of really enjoying my lunch, but the service was great. The lady serving us was very cordial and accommodating. That was about the best thing that happened that day.

    My friend invited me to Dinner for the endless shrimp 🦐 I enjoyed the Garlic shrimp and Grilled shrimp Scampi. Jennifer(Our Waitress) was lovely.

    Very peaceful and delightful dinner after a hectic Monday. Our waitress was very cool and pleasant. Her calm composure when her area started filling up, she was still able to bring our food hot and fresh. IT WAS GLADLY APPRECIATED!!

    The lady that greeted us when we walked in the door was fantastic our server was excellent she kept checking on us making sure we had drinks and asking if we needed anything. Our server also was very efficient and cordial she brought us to go boxes and I asked for another drink but she saw that I was pretty much done so she bought me a drink and a to go cup and I loved that. The food was good I tried the Lobster Dip and my friend got the soups salad and biscuits all you can eat. She had chowder and it was really good she had two bowls. It was a really good experience I hadn't been there in a while I'll definitely come back

    Red Lobster was once a top-tier restaurant. Their prices no longer match the quality of the food. This location also unfortunately has staffing issues more often than not. It's short staffed all the time, and the wait times are incredibly long. Visited recently and ended up going to another restaurant due to being told my party of 4 had a wait time of an hour... yet, a party of 12 walked in about 20 minutes after me and were told they would be accommodated within 30 minutes (they did not have a reservation). Unacceptable.

    My family and I enjoyed the food and the staff provided " PHENOMENAL " service. The waiter was friendly, patient and very knowledgeable about the products, specials and pricing. He give suggestions if you was undecided on your meal. This was a great experience.
