My husband and I eat @ the Bismarck Red Lobster every other week or so. We both agree that this is one of our favorite restaurant's in all of Bismarck Mandan. The complimentary cheddar bay biscuits are always hot, fresh and scrumptious while we wait for our order. The scampi is divine, the cherry maple glaze on the grilled chicken is a special dipping sauce.. be sure to ask for it, ..the salads are always cold crisp and fresh and the food is always hot and heavenly. Mouthwatering seafood, calorie_laden but buttery garlicky goodness in every bite. Servers are professional, clean establishment, relaxing atmosphere. I recommend it highly.

I ate here because it was right next to my hotel and I was running out of places in Bismarck that looked interesting. I think I'm going to have to head back downtown next time. I looked at the menu and was shocked at the price compared to the quality. It just doesn't match up. That said, the crab cakes were pretty good. They were definitely crab heavy, breading light, which is a good thing. The salmon was pretty nondescript. It flaked nicely, so it was prepared well, but the flavor didn't wow me. The mashed potatoes, however, were delicious. But at a seafood place the seafood should be the star of the plate. Service was good. Somewhat oddly over familiar, but still good.

Absolutly amazing! Our food was great we had 4 adults and 2 kids and had an absolutely great time! Paige our server was above and beyond. She even showed the kids a live lobster and opens all the crab legs for the kids. Absolutely no complaints the food was good and Paige was probably the best server I have ever had. Request Paige when you go here!

Food was okay (portions were huge; perhaps too big), drinks were good, BUT service was incredible. We had Sadie as our server -- can't recommend her enough!

This Red Lobster is wonderful! Great food and service. Servers are always accommodating and friendly. I asked our server if she could get us some really buttery cheddar bay biscuits and she was back a minute later with some delicious ones she had put extra butter on. They do get busy some days but they have people ready to bus tables as soon as they are empty to make the wait time as short as possible. My aunt in Denver won't eat at the Red Lobster in Colorado but she always wants to eat at the one here because of the wonderful food and experiences we continue to have. Definitely worth trying!

Our family decided to go out to celebrate a birthday here, and while the food was good, the service was horrendous. It started out when our party of eight was seated in between two servers stations, and they proceeded to argue in front of us as to which one of them was serving us (neither of them wanted to). When we finally were waited on, it was by a third server who seemed to get everything wrong, from our drinks to special instructions on food items to who gets what, even with writing everything down. I would recommend that management do some serious service retracing and perhaps the service might match the food.. Until then, I assure you we will not be back.

I was doing a little work in the area and Yelped for some place to eat. I decided to try it out since it was next to my hotel. I ordered the soup and bruschetta. As with most American restaurants they tried to overcome the lack of cooking ability with huge portions in hopes that no one will notice. As a consultant by trade I always offer a few tips that can help business do better: Restaurants in the States typically advise there wait staff to ask diners things like "hows your meal" etc. A closed end question. This typically gets an answer of fine, good, OK etc. If a restaurant really wants a true response, they should ask an open ended question, something like "What could we have done to make your meal better" The beer selection could be enhanced with a good selection of micro brews/IPA's

Wow !! Fantastic all around, john from Washington state was our waiter. He was very friendly and knowledgeable . Great atmosphere and the food was wonderful. What a great change from some of the other restaurants in Minot ND . Some owners / workers should come here for lessons on how to cook, and manage etc. keep up the great work Red Lobster Bismarck !!!!

I happened to eat here twice in a row this weekend...and while the food was good both times, the service really made the difference. Saturday night Lisa was phenomenal. Attentive but not overbearing. We didn't have to follow up or correct a single thing. Sunday night, the waitress was not as good. She gave a schpiel with everything, and could use some work on her timing. We didn't want to make friends with her, but she felt a little hard to shake off.

This restaurant is terrible; from the stench of the dirty lobster tank as you walk in, to the rotting seafood smell coming from the kitchen, to the mildew/mold in the bathrooms. I ordered the most expensive lobster hoping that it would be edible, but came out heat lamp burnt, rubbery, and luke warm. I almost gagged with my first bite and I alerted the server. I waited for a manager to visit the table, but after the about 15 minutes, the server dropped the check! At this point, I and my nose were so offended that I just wanted to leave. I ended up paying for the rubber lobster dish and chalked it up to a learning experience.

I know I'm in ND and this is a Red Lobster but it was a mistake coming here. I ordered the grilled shrimp with rice pilaf. Healthy right? They were buried in a greasy buttery sauce that was so unappealing. It was like they poured squeeze butter over it. The rice was greasy, how do you make rice greasy? I ate at the bar. There was a very loud regular at the bar who kept shouting out to the staff and they kept shouting back. "Johnnnnyyyy!!! Wahooooo! How are you??!!!!" Things like that over and over. The bar is right by the kitchen and twice the kitchen broke out into song. I'm trying to have a relaxing dinner. Between the regular shouting out\telling loud stories and the kitchen's songs that wasn't going to happen There was also a heavy moldy smell that came and went as people walked by behind the bar. Yuck.

It's hard to find seafood in Bismarck... But Red Lobster does a good job showcasing their fresh fish to us land-lovers. I'll be honest, I've never actually ordered lobster here. The thing is, you don't have to go big to get good seafood. The wood grilled fish is exceptional. The scallops have always been cooked just right. Plus the clam chowder and garlic cheese biscuits are great sides. I usually go over lunch, because the lunch menu is much more reasonable. The waitstaff is very nice and always on top of things. I've never gone without a drink refill or more garlic cheese biscuits.
