    Great experience and wonderful food! But my primary reason for posting is our server Kamiya Barron was incredible! Fast, attentive, nice, got us everything we needed and answered all our questions. Also made sure we left with a bag of hot warm biscuits! :) Thank you Kamiya!!

    I would give a five star for the meal BUT the clam chowder was absolutely horrible. Tasted canned, thin with little flavor and one piece of clam---told the very good server the cook would be in trouble as he let a clam chunk get away---bad. My lobster and wife's shrimp on a stick were spot on good. No complaints, also the sides were of good quality.

    Invited my sister for lunch and she picked Red Lobster and had me try their piña colada shrimps. Oh wow, they were great, I really enjoyed the food, and the time I spent with my sister whom I haven't seen in 3 years.

    Our waiter was amazing. Our glasses never were empty. He was on top of everything even though it was busy. And had a wonderful sense of humor. The food was delicious as always. You cannot beat those cheddar biscuits 😊 The next time I'm up in that area I will definitely stop again

    This was my first time going to this location in six months. The building and the facility is deteriorating, as some of the carpet was dirty and we could hear the buzzing of the fluorescent lights. Our waitress was nice and took care of our needs. I got the Fettuccine Shrimp Alfredo. The dish was better than I had it last time since they added garlic into the recipe. Was a total upgrade for me. The cheddar biscuits were very good as always. Red Lobster is good, but would recommend another location if you don’t want to feel like you’re in Long John Silvers.

    $20 all you can eat shrimp. Coconut Shrimp was overpowered by the Coconut. Garlic shrimp scampi had no discernable garlic in it. Walt's favorite shrimp was typical breaded shrimp, and my 2nd favorite. Dragon shrimp was just the right amount of spiciness and was my clear favorite. Service was ok.

    I only eat here when they have the all you can eat shrimp. Most times, I leave regretting my choice. Over the years, it seemed to get worse and worse, with on occasion being just good enough to try again with the offer comes around. This time, I was expecting the same. I order the all you can eat with a salad and a baked potato. I was not really paying attention to the waitress when she was asking if I wanted this or that on my salad and potato. I said sure. The salad came out and was a real salad, fresh lettuce, lots of cheese, and and even bacon. Was very good. Then the meal came, and that was good. The potato had lots of butter, sour cream, cheese, and bacon. Dang good. No complaints about the food in years, if not a decade. Bill came and I realized why the salad and potatoe was so good. I paid some like 3 or 4 bucks extra for the salad topping and the same for the potato. It was worth it because it was good. My rub is why do I have to pay 8 more dollars to get a proper salad and potato, but then I think I rather pay a little more for my food to be good than not have the option.

    We haven't been here in over 5 years because the service was terrible. We ONLY came back because one of my family members received a gift card for Christmas. 5 years later, they didn't disappoint. This was the most horrendous service we've received in a very long time. If Nick is your server, just get up and leave so you don't wasn't an hour of your day before you get up and leave anyway. 20 minutes for drinks. Brought more drinks, left 5 empty glasses on the table. 20 minutes later, returned to take our order. 35 minutes pass. 10 empty glasses on our table. Food arrives ice cold, with the exception of the fresh biscuits. No silverware. Before Nick left, my brother ordered another round of his "endless shrimp" because everything was taking so long and I asked for silverware. After nother 5 mins of eating with our fingers I went to the host stand and got our own silverware. We did not see Nick the rest of our time there. The tables behind us were also getting up and searching for Nick. The manager, Tweety came by and could not have been more sweet to us. She was very apologetic and empathetic after we explained we haven't been to this location for 5 years because of this very reason.....service is terrible. It's safe to say, no matter how many years pass, we will not return to this location. The attached photos show everyone with empty glasses, plates of food with no silverware and my hard, crunchy, undercooked, cold pasta.

    1) Lauren, our waitress, gave us good service. 2) When we got sat down, the hostess wiped something off the table with her hand, I asked her if the table was clean, she said yes, but I had my doubts. When we got our biscuits, I noticed that one of the small plates was dirty. 3) The strawberry smoothie that I got was okay. Not terrible, but definitely wouldn't get it again. 4) The food was good. 5) When I asked for A1 sauce, the bottle that was handed to me was dirty. I had to use some of my napkins to clean it. This was pretty gross. 6) When I went to wash my hands after eating, I noticed someone was in the stall. They walked out without washing their hands. I noticed, out of the corner of my eye, they had all black on. Before I walked out, I noticed an apron was hanging in the stall, so whichever employee that was missing an apron, around, 1PM, is the employee that didn't wash their hands. Super gross. The waitress might have given us good service, but between the dirty plate on the table, the guy not washing his hands is what really hands in the restroom, and the dirty bottle of A1 sauce, we definitely will not be back to this location. Also, my girlfriend just reminded me that they didn't even have enough menus, so we had to share one.

    We had the pleasure of being served by Megan tonight. She was very friendly and her smile lit up the room. Just her attitude and the way she handled our requests made our meal better. She was great! I also noticed how all of the staff got along and was friendly to each other. With all the negativity in the news, it was great to have a fantastic meal alongside happy customers and staff. It was a great night out!!

    Absolutely NO stars for this place. I am so disgusted. Came here with my husband and daughter for a “nice” dinner, that was a JOKE. A roach crawled right up to my plate as I was eating! Beyond disgusted.

    So me and my family came to Florida for a funeral and decided to go to red lobster for dinner .The lobster bisque soup was so salty no one could finish it. the drinks had no taste and I had a crawling insect in my salad. My skin was crawling we walked right out. However the manager was understanding and took care of whatever he did ! Never eating red lobster again

    It's been years since I have eaten at this restaurant. I was very impressed with the service. The food was good. I wanted grilled lobster tail and that's what I ordered. It was cooked to perfection. The endless shrimp was very good and offered at a great price.

    I don’t go to Red Lobster often. The food was just okay, nothing to brag about. I like the fresh, hot biscuits, but the entrees were pretty mediocre. I didn’t like the lobster very much, it wasn’t flavorful at all. My husband ordered fish & chips, he said it was bland. The shrimp scampi was good and our server was great!

  • 5/5 Jenisha L. 3 months ago on Google New
    Such a great experience dining at this location last night. I had the Sirloin and lobster tail. Perfect steak, Juicy lobster tail!! My server was Stefanee. She helped make this meal a memorable experience. She also recommended great drinks from the bar. Its not often you get a server with such good energy. She was pretty quick getting our food out to us. Very nice and very attentive. I have to say Thank you once again :-) . I will definitely ask for her next time.

    Our server was AMAZING! The food was ok. Could use more seasoning. My cocktail was good.

  • 5/5 Amanda B. 3 months ago on Google New
    I just wanted some cheddar biscuits and my server did not miss a beat. They came out warm, soft & delicious. Our server Stefanee recommended the special, roasted garlic crab legs which was just mouthwatering. Her service was prompt, she was polite & gave great recommendations. I haven’t been to Red lobster in many years but based off this experience I’ll definitely be back soon.

    Celebrating my nephew's birthday. For the last 3 years, Red Lobster is his request. Affordable prices, cozy. Good for a quiet dinner with family.
