Haven't been to Red Lobster in quite a while. Used to go all the time when Darden owned it, Wife & I went Saturday & couldn't be MORE DISAPPOINTED in the food. Before I get started let me say our server was great, the only reason for 2 stars & not one. Shrimp & scallops were like Gordon's frozen dinner from the grocery store. No, actually Gordons is better. Baked potato & salad were good. Manager did comp my meal on the plus side but not my wife's & not sure why only me since she had the same thing. $40.00 wasted (after comp) Oh, also, the normally wonderful cheese biscuits were soggy & nasty. I think it's the 1st time I've ever left any seafood on my plate when dining out. I was sick at my stomach the rest of the night so the food I did eat was likely expired. Sad to see this once great chain decline so severely. Live & learn. Never again!!
My first time eating at a Red Lobster! Now I know why everyone says the cheddar biscuits are to die for ? Everything tasted amazing
I'm a Red Lobster fan since forever. Hubby's first job was prep and fry cook at the Red Lobster on International Drive back when it was one of the few restaurants on the strip.We always enjoy our Red Lobster meals. However, tonight was even better than ever! Food was undescribably delicious, our server was attentive and personable, and it all began with wonderful greetings as we entered the restaurant.My husband was blown away by the green Thai curry dish, describing it as better than what most Thai restaurants have served him.We'll be back soon!
Excellent service! Our meal was delicious and the salad dressing was the best. Your staff members are terrific. Thank you!
I had the crispy cod sandwich and the coleslaw was in the sandwich which was a pleasant surprise and i enjoyed it. It was clean and staff was friendly.
Happy Easter everyone!! I visited Red Lobster today i started with the amazingly famous lobster pizza warm flat bread with cheese garlic salt and chunks of lobster// then moved to the nee barbecue glazed salmon, which was tender and juicy and perfectly portioned however it comes on a bed or cheesy fried potatoes which were also covered in a melted American cheese ( way too dense and salty and soggy did not complement the perfectly cooked salmon) to help with the denseness if the cheesy potatoes i ordered a plain side of jasmine rice (1cup) it also came with sautéed spinach and pickled red onions which were not acidic enough the dish was missing that little bit of heat or zing from a lemon Chardonnay butter and feta or goat cheese would have been a great replacement for the melted salty dense American cheese, and in stead of 1/2 inch squares of fried potatoes, a shredded or scalped bed of backed potatoes would have gone so much better and really elevated the dish from “Ok” to “Flawless” the barbecue glaze could have been more smoked as well, lastly i finished with the chocolate wave ?
We went on a Thursday and it wasn’t very busy and our food was really good and our waiter was as well.
Very bad service, waitress was nice but rude at the same time, she had her moments,but overall she was taking care of way to many tables to provide excellent service. Everything was wrong, drink... asked about wines never got a reply after she said she'd go ask the bartender, never got appetizer she forgot to place the order, she messed up the orders got 2 sides of broccoli even though I changed my mind about the 2 sides and asked her opinion on the options. Lobster was not cooked properly. My elderly mother who suffered from hypoglycemia almost passed out on us. Total time was 2hrs. 30 minutes waiting to be seated (witch isn't all that bad for a Sunday). Spoke to manager, but had to wait 10 minutes for him to come by table to comp food because we didn't even want to take it.
Our waitress was good most of the food was good except for my broccoli was undercooked really bad and the shrimp in the shrimp scampi were over cooked it was like eating rubber. We went up to go pay for our meal and our waitress didn't think she could do it right because I had a gift card and ask another person to do it for her well that lady did it halfway and then sent us to go look for the waitress to get the rest of it done I thought that was absolutely the most ridiculous thing ever apparently socializing with her co-workers was more important than finishing the job. I don't get to go out to many restaurants because we can't really afford it very often but because I earned my gift card and I had a coupon we decided to come here instead of Olive Garden like we usually do I guess we should have picked Olive Garden instead even with the coupon never had a problem with their food oh and the shrimp mushroom sauce pasta that was on the dish where the heck was the sauce seriously dry noodles are not fun.We did point this out to the waitress.
Ticket was never put in for us and we had to wait 45 minutes for soup and another half hour for our food and a second glass of water
