Red lobster is one of my favorite places to eat. The biscuits are to die for. The service is cool. They have really improved over the years. Great drinks. The lobster bake is really good. It comes with potatoes and corn. I think its scallops in there too. Its very delicious. I havent had many bad experiences here at all.

Pretty good! I think of red lobster as the place to pig out on seafood!! The portions are big and I do really like their combination platters. On this last trip we got two combo plates .....one had salmon , lobster, and grilled shrimp..... I have to say every thing cooked great especially the shrimp were big and tender not over cooked! The other plate we got had coconut shrimp ( nope , smashed down and fried to death! Not good) , lobster ( smallish tail very mild flavor), grilled shrimp ( big ,cooked great!) and the star was the Alaskan crab legs ( soooo good! Perfect sweet flavor didn't even need the butter, the whole pieces of meat came out easily)

Chain restaurant aside, the food is exactly as i remember and the service was great. My family got the endless shrimp and their food was served pipping hot, coconut shrimp were sweet and crunchy. Scampi was hot and buttery, and their teriyaki shrimp skewers were good sized too. I ended up ordering the 4 course meal since I'm not a huge seafood lover and my chicken Alfredo was hot and plentiful. Was it the absolute best Alfredo I ever had? No, but our server made sure we were happy, kept the biscuits coming and my family's shrimp refills coming as fast as they wanted. Oh and bathrooms were clean too! Overall I can definitely recommend this location.

Now I went here 2 in one week. Saturday when we went it was a great experience, I had a WONDERFUL waitress name Suzanne she was so sweet and very tentative. She was really great food was awesome. Monday when we went waitress was ok, but the drink I ordered (berry mango daiquiri) was not good at all this time. It tasted like syrup. Now what really made me mad was that I told our waitress the drink was weak, she seen the drink was still filled to the top and still charged the full price when clearly it wasn't touched. The only reason it was 1 star is because of Suzanne, who also by the way came to visit our table Monday night as well.

If Reb Lobster is too busy for your taste, go to Denny's and order shrimp as it tastes and looks about the same and costs less. I ordered 'hand breaded' shrimp and fish and I received a dozen tiny shrimp that must have been hard as heck to 'hand bread' and two smallish pieces of pollock, which I was not familiar, but tasted ok if you're into Mrs. Paul's fishsticks. The side salad and cheese biscuits were excellent but the seafood was disappointing and a bust. Overpriced and not very good.

I had lunch at this restaurant yesterday (chicken Caesar) on the lunch menu. It tasted fine, but within two hours I was violently ill. I had the runs, was throwing up, had chills and felt just plain awful. The place is undergoing construction and I'm guessing that the dressing wasn't properly refrigerated. No way will we be returning!!

We were greeted by a friendly hostess and taken by a waitress to our table. Our waitress came and was very attentive. The iced tea was great and the side salad with blueberry vinegarette. The side salad was very good with chopped tomatoes, cukes, and lettuce. I ordered hand breaded shrimp of 12, but 11 came, with French fries. The fries were warm and the shrimp looked like they came from a frozen dinner from the cheap section of the freezer at the grocery store. The shrimp was tasteless and tiny. The tail was longer than the shrimp body. They had key lime pie, but I was afraid to order. The cheese biscuits were warm but tasteless. They used to be my favorite thing at Red Lobster. My last visit to a Red Lobster.

I was craving snow crab legs. So I figured Red Lobster was a good choice to fill my craving. The crab was delicious, which is the only reason why I gave this place 2 stars instead of 1. Really nice flavor! They were served with red potatoes and a corn on the cob. The potatoes were super salty but the corn was good. Everything else was just mehh. Our waitress was really weird, she was an older woman who greeted the table with "yo, what's going on". I was super confused. It became even more awkward because she interrupted a conversation that i was having with my partner and lingered around the table. When she came back with our drinks she did the same thing again until I gave her an appetizer order to get her to go away. She failed to realize that we were having a conversation and kept insisting on jumping in. We started off with the oysters. They were ok. However, some of them needed to be cleaned a little better because there was still sand on them. Honestly, the oysters at Ale House are way better. We also ordered the shrimp nachos which turned out to be really disappointing. I'm not sure what cheese they decided to pour over these nachos but it tasted like Velveeta. The shrimp consisted of about 10 baby shrimps that you could barely see. Final note: the atmosphere just made me feel depressed. I can't really describe why, maybe it's the older staff, maybe it's the lighting, maybe it's the older cliental or maybe it's all of sad lobsters that are trapped in a small tank at the entrance waiting to be killed... whatever it is, it just brought my mood down.

Staying nearby, and decided to stop here for dinner. What can I say? The server was very prompt and attentive, but a little "over the top", with what felt like forced sincerity. The food was sub-par, even for a Red Lobster. The $8 shrimp cocktail consisted of 6 limp, small shrimp served on a plate - quite the disappointment. Skip this place, you can do much better.

It's been a year since I've been back to this chain and glad to see the menu hasn't changed too much. This location was perfectly located by my hotel for the week. The service was prompt and friendly. They took care of us. We ordered the shrimp Alfredo which was pretty good even though their shrimps were small. However, between the pasta and my ceasar dressing for my salad - it was a little salty. We always love the biscuits that come even though we know they are made with TONS of butter. Sometimes I make them myself and add less butter on them. The coconut shrimp appetizers were great though!

It's been years since I have been to a Red Lobster. Was never a huge fan. And since moving to Florida from Arizona... I felt especially strong about eating seafood at a "chain restaurant". Well... all of that has changed! :) I was fortunate to have attended a Yelp event at this Red Lobster last week, and was able to sample pretty much close to the whole menu, and OH MY GOD... was I impressed! The tangy shrimp appetizers, and stuff lobster mushrooms were HUGE and TASTY. I enjoyed the breaded green beans with the tangy dipping sauce. I also really enjoyed the mussels, shrimp and scallops, the salmon salad, and Parmesan crusted fettuccine. And dessert... good lord! My favorite was the gooey chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream. The key lime pie was good too. The drinks are HUGE!!! and potent. The service was absolutely stellar! Every person we spoke and/or encountered was so nice and accommodating Red Lobster has also recently spent a lot of money remodeling the restaurants... and I really like the new decor. Much warmer. I will be back....soon! Good job Red lobster!

I haven't been to a Red Lobster in years. Definitely glad I took time to #TasteRL again because they have really made some excellent changes to their menu lineup. Tasted a bit of everything, but the hands down favorite for me was the Sweet Chili Shrimp. I would simplify it by calling it the RL take on Bang Bang Shrimp, but it's just soo good. Crispy, saucy, just the right kick. Really can't say a bad thing about it. The staff are attentive but not overbearing and they're really there to help you wade through all the new menu options. Even if you come for the biscuits and a cocktail, don't hesitate to give Red Lobster another visit someday soon.

I'm never craving Red Lobster. I always associated these restaurants with high schools dates. So I just grew out the idea or eating here. Glad I gave them a second and third trial. The updated items brings a facelift to the menu especially the lunch special. For under $10 bucks you can have a great lunch and take back some cheddar biscuits to the job. The grilled fish tacos were great. You can have the option of having shrimp - but the shrimp seem to always come out overcooked and tough. Then there was the blackened catfish that I paired with the roasted grilled veggies. Well seasoned and juicy. But my favorite is one of their new items the Fiesta Salad with salmon. This salad is freaking huge and loaded! Eat 1/2 at lunch save the rest for dinner.

Red Lobster, you have won me over. I am a CHANGED WOMAN! Man alive, I have NEVER had shrimp as FANTASTIC as the "Sweet Chili Shrimp!" The shrimp were exquisitely fried so that the breading soaked up the sweet, yet tangy, sauce that delivered the RIGHT amount of KICK while maintaining the perfect crunchy texture! Out of everything we tried that night, it was the unanimous favorite! (Just don't look at its nutritional value of 1140 calories!) I was also a giant fan of the "Crispy Fried Green Beans" with Sriracha sauce! The green beans looked stately sitting in their white funnel cone stand. One almost felt HEALTHY eating them because they were so delicately fried. The only negative thing I can say about the scriaracha sauce was that the portion wasn't BIG enough! The cocktails were also a winner! My favorite of the evening was the "Special Cargo Colada." It was a twist on your normal Pina Colada that also incorporated nutmeg. It raised the standard of how I want Pina Coladas from now on! I never thought I'd recommend Red Lobster for cocktails and desserts, but I will now! Their "Pumpkin Pie in a Jar" was on par with Seasons 52 and the "Chocolate Wave" Cake with ice cream was decadent and sinful! In the future I will surely recommend Red Lobster for group dates where we can all split their flavorful (and affordable!) appetizers, giant sized entree portions, and visit Heaven a.k.a. the Chocolate Wave cake. ^_^

Let me just start by saying that as a person with a Gluten allergy, I never thought I could have a good experience at a chain restaurant like Red Lobster. Also, after many bad experiences at Olive Garden, their sister restaurant, I really did not expect to be impressed... BOY WAS I WRONG! The drinks were AWESOME! I ordered a Strawberry Lobsterita, which was basically a ginormous Margarita... it was larger than my face! The food was also phenomenal and I was really impressed by the options available to me despite my allergies. I tried the Lobster Stuffed Mushrooms, and just about died of happiness because of how tasty they truly were-- and how "pure" the ingredients were: just seafood, mushrooms and cheese. It doesn't get better than that! Then, I enjoyed some Grilled Salmon over a salad with Corn salsa, which was served with a Jalepeno Ranch-- gluten free and delicious. I have to say though that my favorite dish was the new Portofino Bake! It was filled with all sorts of goodies like shrimp, scallops, muscles, sun-dried tomatoes and mushrooms. The drinks and food weren't even the best part... the service was. It absolutely EXCEEDED my expectations! Our server, Maya, was very sweet, attentive and very flexible with my dietary limitations. Also, Kyle, an excellent server, assisted us with our drinks-- gotta love a man armed with alcohol. I couldn't have the three desserts on the menu this evening, but Traci (with an I) assured me that she would work her magic and she definitely outdid herself when she came out with a beautiful strawberry cheesecake dessert just for me! I will be returning-- very soon-- for the great food but mostly for the incredible service. So, thank you, Red Lobster, for changing my mind!
We love it here. It's been renovated about 3 years ago, love the food and salad is ALWAYS fresh. A good value and you get reasonable portions for your money.

I don't know why this restaurant only has a 3 star average. My BF and I went here for lunch today and it was clean and the food and service was very good. I had the chili shrimp lettuce wraps and my BF had the bay harbor salad with salmon. The only problem was it took too long to get our food. We didn't order anything too complicated and the lunch crowd was thin. But we'd give them a 2nd chance.

A big Thank you to Red Lobster, Greg Sherman,Debbie, Layla, Rita and Vanessa for hosting and organizing this! Our server Kyle was the man! Excellent service! Biscuits were great as always! Often imitated but never duplicated- we could eat these all night long. Next we had Fried green beans with sirachi aioli -a Very good crispy finger food. Then we tried BakedCheesy lobster, seafood and crab stuffed mushrooms which were excellent. They could have been a meal on their own. My fav of the night was the Sweet Chili shrimp; it was excellent with just the right amount of kick. Next we had buffalo chicken bites that were spicy and tasty!!! Lobster pizza was next and we would never have ordered lobster on pizza but we would have missed out; light and crispy with a great flavor and real chunks of lobster. Then we ate Salmon fiesta salad with jalapeño ranch omg! Enough said! And the Shrimp taco were the best imaginable. Big portions and fresh and deliciously cooked. Omg! Next was the Roasted tilapia and veggies Cooked in a bag and all the perfectly seasoned flavors sealed in and fused together. Did I mention Seasoned perfectly?Omg sooooo good. Then we had Parmesan Chicken Alfredo with corkscrew pasta and broccoli. Very fresh, not too heavy. The pasta was cooked perfectly. Al dente! The Portifino bake was good but by the time we got it I was sooo full. I'm not a big clam or scallop girl but it was good! Then dessert.... Pumpkin pie in a jar... I don't even like pumpkin pie but I almost ate it all. Chocolate wave with vanilla ice cream was very good. Rich and chocolatey! Yummy!!!!! Then was my favorite...Key lime pie. I love love loved it. Omg! What a super night. What great food! I'm gonna buy gift cards for family and friends for my Christmas gifts! Darden has changed the quality of the food at Red Lobster closer to Seasons 52 and Capitol Grill quality while keeping prices reasonably low. It's more than I expected. It was a great night and now I need a pillow and my fat pants.

My husband and I eat here once a month I always get a Maine lobster which tastes great but is overpriced. My husband gets a lobster tail with shrimp scampi which he loves both his meal also comes with those wood grill shrimp and he always says those need more seasoning. Overall besides the wait on the weekends it's a good experience .

I'm not a an of seafood at all, so I'm limited as to what I eat here when the spouse has a seafood jones. I will say, the garlic he'd dear biscuits are worth the trip alone lol. Decent fish and chips.

The only thing keeping me from giving Red Lobster 5 stars is the fact that I only have last night's Elite event to go off of...but trust me when I say that it was enough of a great experience to warrant this review and to guarantee that I will be back! I love the décor that they have going on, it's simple and clean and themed without being kitschy....nothing like I remember Red Lobster being from my limited experience of eating there many, many years ago! The service that we had last night was amazing and our sever Brittany was not only personable and fantastic, but you can tell see just really loves her job! And boy does that make a difference. Now the food...WAY WAY WAY better than I would have ever guessed! I am so in love with so many of the items we had the joy of eating last night! First, the Chili Shrimp were amazing. They were big plump fresh shrimp, fried and tossed in a perfectly spicy chili sauce. And while they are an appetizer, there is more than enough for you to eat it as a meal. The Shrimp Tacos were delicious, so much so that I had one of the ones from my leftover box for breakfast this morning (don't judge me, lol) and it was still YUM YUM YUM after sitting in my fridge all night. The Tilapia in a bag was cooked perfectly, and was definitely what I would order if I was in the mood for something flavorful and light. But for me, the Portofino Seafood Bake stole the show! It was all of my favorite seafood items in one bowl and the broth it is served in I could drink right out of the bowl or you know use the crispy bread to soak it up if I wanted to exercise some self control and table manners ;)...the rice that comes with it is pretty tasty as well. Basically, Red Lobster won themselves a new regular with last night's Yelp event! And I will be raving to everyone I know that if they have any preconceptions about what eating at a Red Lobster will be like and therefore think they won't enjoy it, they are wrong because I know I was!

It was a great night and now I need a pillow and my fat pants.

Still good but not up to the standard i held for red lobster. The lobster was great as always

The food tasted delicious like always but what blew me away was the amazing customer service. Ask for Kyle next time you visit this location. He will make your night a memorable one. Everything was perfect!

My husband and I eat here once a month I always get a Maine lobster which tastes great but is overpriced. My husband gets a lobster tail with shrimp scampi which he loves both his meal also comes with those wood grill shrimp and he always says those need more seasoning. Overall besides the wait on the weekends it's a good experience .

I'm not a an of seafood at all, so I'm limited as to what I eat here when the spouse has a seafood jones. I will say, the garlic he'd dear biscuits are worth the trip alone lol. Decent fish and chips.
