lol @ expensive. We had lunch there a month or so ago, we got an appetizer (the shrimp and lobster spinch dip is fantastic!!) and two lunch entrees.. two drinks.. it was only like 28 dollars or somethin. Very worth the hefty (lol) price..

Promptly greeted & seated on a Friday afternoon early dinner for two. Extremely friendly & courteous waitress "Sarah" was to take our order. She made helpful suggestions and pointed out the current promotional selection. Not only did our courses of food arrive perfectly staggered but we never lacked or had to look for beverage refreshment. Our food from appetizer to soup to main course arrived piping hot. The salad cold, fresh & crisp - no wilted lettuce or old veggies. The waitress brought dessert and checked several times during the meal to see if everything was satisfactory. My shrimp & scallop pasta entree was perfectly balanced and seasoned with plenty of seafood - no hunting for the next bite. My dinner partner's steak perfectly cooked to order and also served very hot. The only possible slight foible would be on the stuffed mushrooms. They were sitting in a pool of water just below the nicely broiled cheese. A mystery as to why and how this happened? The cheese atop the mushrooms and their stuffing was nicely browned under a broiler. But a slight disappointment to find them "wading" in water! We will visit this chain again and were impressed with the professional caliber of the staff as well as the mostly consistent satisfying food!

I am not a huge seafood fan, although I wish I was! So I don't tend to seek out seafood places. My parents love Red Lobster so I figured I would tag along with them. Plus I was craving some good shrimp. We went for an early dinner around 3:45 and were seated right away. They were not busy at all. The host was very polite. Our waitress took a few minutes to get to us, so we were ready to order by the time she came for our drinks. She was very bubbly and attentive, refilling drinks and checking on us. All the food came out really good and in a timely fashion. Who doesn't love their cheddar bay biscuits? YUMMY!!! I had their vinaigrette dressing with my salad and it was probably the worst part of the meal. The dressed was just so tart/sour and kinda hurt my tongue. Too much vinegar for sure! It wasn't un-edible, but not very appetizing. I love their coconut shrimp with the coconut sauce that comes with it so I ordered that. Reminds me of summer on a beach! Its super light and flavorful, I could eat it all day! Nothing really that special about this place, its not bad but its not OMG amazing. I will come here every so often for some seafood but its not somewhere I will seek out anytime soon.

I've given Red Lobster plenty enough attempts to safely say this food is just not good. The service has usually been pretty good for my visits here, but that's not enough to sway my views on the restaurant. As far as food goes, the only thing I can consistently enjoy here are the complimentary biscuits (which are awesome). The seafood is of mediocre quality, and almost all of my experiences it's heavily overcooked. I know seafood scares many locals around here, but come on, you don't need it to be 100% charred to bone dry to serve it. The rice is dry, the broccoli is dry, the pasta's are dry. However the true reason I can give 0 love to this restaurant is the quality:price ratio. If I was paying $10 for this? Yeah, okay, cool enough I suppose. But getting the receipt is just a complete insult to top off the meal. I can cross this restaurant off my list.

Pretty decent place but sometimes it smells funny in the back areas. I'd rather sit at their bar area. As I remember though, they only have one big tv at the bar, if not two, so this will not be a place where you would want to watch a game because they might not even show the game you want. Onto the food. Of course, I love their cheddar bay biscuits just like everyone else. They have an extensive seafood menu but I feel like I always try what's on their lobsterfest and endless shrimp menu cards. I'm a sucker for yummy looking pictures, which is not the best strategy because rarely are the food like the pictures. There should be a disclaimer. The shrimp can be small but I guess you really can't go wrong with butter on seafood so everything is as expected and tastes good! Their chocolate cake with ice cream is delish! The strawberry cheesecake is good but taste seems like it came from a box like it isn't made at the restaurant. nothing special. Overall, I would still eat here but would not be the first choice other than when I'm craving seafood.

Very nice casual place. I like to go during shrimp or lobster fest. The prices are reasonable and the service has been great. Not bad for a chain restaurant.

My husband and I went Sunday to celebrate our anniversary. Upon entering, it was obvious the common area was unkempt with stuff all over the floor. The second issue was that I really didn't feel like we got $75 worth of food. The servings were very small and the lobster looked almost scrawny. The lobster bisque, which is usually good had almost a nacho cheese like consistency. To top it all off, I had ordered broccoli and when it arrived some of it was brown around the edges where it had been cut. I was polite to the server but brought it to her attention. She was very nice but I felt like she couldn't have cared less. If I am spending $20 + per plate I do not expect to see brown broccoli on my plate. Before this I had not been to Red Lobster in years. I doubt it will return. I was really disappointed when I left and felt cheated out of my money. :(

I had a surprisingly good burger and fries from the lunch menu ($7.99) here the other day. Way to go RL!

I was warmly and quickly greeted as I entered the door. The hostess did not seem to be the least bit upset that I requested a server out of rotation. My server was KEVIN. He was very professional, knowledgeable, and friendly throughout the entire interaction. Food was excellent.

I used to wonder how red lobster was always so busy. From experience I have come to the conclusion that the staff is so freindly and hard working. Both Linda and the one older gentleman at the bar are wonderful. I would have to say most of the staff that has been there for a while are a joy to dine with. It makes the experience of dinning out a great one.

It received three stars because the food was very expensive; however, the food was very delicious. I reccomend it for people who don't mind the extra cost or just want to impress someone. I must warn you that the lighting was rather low in the area that I was sitting, but this could add a romantic theme to anyone on a date who is willing to spend extra $$.
