I had the rainbow trout and it tasted excellent. My husband had fish and Chips. It was just okay. Service was excellent. We had a very nice waitress. Our wait time to get a table was 25 minutes.. Not too bad for a Sunday evening. Cheddar biscuits tasted amazing.

At first we were seated beside the kitchen and bathroom, passing many empty tables, some still with the previous diners' plates. (I went the the restroom after my meal and those same tables still had the same dishes on them.) We asked to be moved because of all the normal noises of a restaurant kitchen. We were seated in a booth the server was just finishing cleaning. That server apologized for the mess. She then said, "People complain about the mess, but I didn't make it!" She brought our sodas and cold biscuits. Took our orders. Brought out our orders. Didn't check back with us for a good 15 minutes. When I asked for hot fries (which were cold when she first brought them out) she laughed at me, then brought back undercooked fries. Still waited even longer to check on us. The blackened salmon had waaay to much seasoning as did the tilapia. The salmon was barely cooked enough. The corn and mashed potatoes were good. Crab legs good. Chocolate wave dessert excellent. There was constant dust falling from the overhead lamp. The manager, Greg, came by and got us drink refills. He made the situation better, and we left happy diners.

Food was good. Service was poor. Starts with manager who is uninterested in any of the patrons. Only interested in talking with staff to the point of leaving guest waiting for service.

A newer model Red Lobster compared to other Red Lobsters I have visited. Good food, friendly staff.

Okay so I've been to Red Lobster a million times, but I had never before been to this location. A friend and I were trying to decide between RL and Olive Garden and decided to go with RL for the cheddar bays. At first I thought the restaurant looked amazing. It looked really neat inside and different from most I'd been to. It wasn't busy at all and we were seated right away. The waiter took our drink and food order as we were ready, but then brought out our soup before even bringing our drinks or biscuits. This didn't really bother me until later when he became a terrible waiter. This is about to be a rant about bad food and service, and I feel I have a right to complain about the service because I was a waitress, and a VERY busy restaurant in an expensive resort, so I've dealt with my share of busy days and rude customers. I feel like I really have to put this in all caps: THE CHEDDAR BAY BISCUITS TOTALLY SUCKED, THIS HAS NEVER BEFORE HAPPENED TO ME, AND IT RUINED THE WHOLE MEAL. Like... Come on. People come here for those biscuits. When we got ours they were very flat-looking and the tops were kind of smooth and shiny. I don't know a lot about baking or I could tell you the exact problem; all I know is that they didn't taste the same at all, they were flat and cakey, and GREASY AS HELL. The clam chowder soup was amazing. My salad totally sucked. I got a Caesar, which I always get, and it had WAY too much dressing on it. After a few bites I really couldn't eat it, but I tried anyhow. The lettuce was really mushy (couldn't tell if it was bad or just drenched), and some of it was pretty brown. I ate 3 bites and gave up. I got the crab alfredo, and it was really good. So other than the biscuits (WTF!?) and the salad, the dinner was good. Finally at the end we waited FOREVER for our waiter to come back. I timed him. It was 15 minutes before he came back and when he did I didn't even get to ask for the check and he realized that he'd forgotten my friend's desert. Honestly I had to because I just wanted to get the heck out of there. So he brought the desert and we waited anther ten minutes just to ASK him for the checks. I was NOT happy. It sucks that we wasted a trip here because I would like to have gone to a local restaurant but we didn't have time to look one up and find it, and really just wanted some freaking cheddar bay biscuits. This place SUCKED. It may have deserved one star but I gave it two because the soup and entree was really good.

This has to be the single-most disgusting restaurant I have ever had the displeasure of dining in (red flag #1). I think darden restaurants have really declined over the years, especially the RLs here in this area. Although my visit was at the end (of what looked to be, judging from the filth) a busy Saturday night, I don't think i have ever had worse seafood for the money. The salad bar was DESTROYED, food and trash COVERED the floors, everywhere! There were no paper towels or TP in the bathroom. It was truly horrifying, and I have been a server at many, many restaurants over the years! We sat near the door and didn't truly get a feel for the magnitude of how awful the place was until we had already ordered. Busy weekend night or no, there is NO excuse for the place to be in such a state. We spent $70 (not including gratuity) and the seafood was all overcooked, the veggies were grilled far too long, the rice was hard and the crab legs were almost equivalent to what you get at your local Chinese buffet. I will never go to another Red Lobster as long as I live (the Huntington RL isn't much better, at least is cleaner!!) Sarah, our server was just fantastic, though :) I really don't have a clue how she makes decent cash there...
