Red Lobster

I am the founder of BE PATIENT WITH ME. COM. I would definitely go back to enjoy the seafood at RED LOBSTER on Highway 6 south near West Oak Mall. The service man named John, he always provides excellent customer service; grilled bacon scallops, grilled lobster tail, half shell oysters are my favorite. My kids also love their smoothies. Not only that, he seems to know the food that each one of us would order. I noticed that the store manager would check on customer from time to time.

Typically I would never go to a Red Lobster.
Dad fancied it this evening so we drove on over.
This location has been here 15/​20ish yers.
We went here when I was a kid.
I ordered burgers. Every time.
Generally speaking:
I am not very into franchises.
Or anything corporate .
Lots of parking.
The ambiance is nice.
More of a family dining situation for sure.
Did see a few couples.
It wasn’t super noisy
But every other table was having quiet conversations
And there were no crying babies or rambunctious children.
My caesar salad looked like caesar
But the dressing tastes more like the special sauce for a big mac.
Sooo they may not use anchovies?
Ps for real caesar dressing uses anchovies for those who did not know and think I am being irrelevant in mentioning anchovies.
Tasted better with a crap ton of cracked pepper.
Lettuce was fresh and crisp, though.
Our server Terrence is delightful
Very amicable and charming
We are celebrating a «Happy Thursday» with him
He is so nice :)
The music… is if abercrombie had softer less dance infused remixes. Pop and lots of perky female singers and upbeat songs but NOT SUPER HYPE.
Heard three male singers while typing this review.
Both slightly folk music sounding.
Not bad.
Yea I suppose that is a better description.
Pop/​folk. Lots of guitar.
Lighting is definitely of the mood variety.
Somehow i remember it being brighter inside when I was here in childhood.
#SorryNotSorry if you are trying to turn up at red lobster.
Mom and I are sharing the Maine Lobster Bake
(not with pasta but with corn and potatoes instead).
I wish there were a bit more potatoes and corn
BUT I am always like that.
IE
when I get crawfish
I care more about getting a crap ton of potatoes and corn.
I get none: I am so sad.
I could care less about the crawfish lol
So for me I wish there were more.
We received four potatoes (cute little, golden ones)
And one ear of corn.
The menu representation was obviously much more appealing.
The skewered shrimp dont exactly glide off.
I broke mine in half lol XD
It was a bit easier to pull the petite lobster tail meat out with my fork, as expected. Sauce is buttery as it is butter and clearly says so in the menu so:
Don’t be that guy to complain about it.
YOU KNEW IT WAS A BUTTER SAUCE!
The potatoes are cut in halves and makes it easier to eat.
There is some sauce at the bottom of the dish
But the food itself is not swimming in sauce, which is nice especially since it is a butter sauce, which is already fairly rich.
The tails are not dripping in sauce either, which makes me happy, it’s nice to see.
One thing that got me was
A bottle of A1 accidentally dropped
So I picked it up bc Terrence obviously had his hands full.
I don’t want to imagine how heavy the tray was with our bake and dads steak.
He says bc its glass he has to toss it.
And usually the bottles are placed on trays lying down (I assume to prevent them from dropping).
But it didn’t break and the bottle was completely sealed.
It must be company policy to dispose of all items that fall in the category of glass items that touch the floor
… I felt bad it had to be wasted just because it fell.
4 stars
Why?
This isn’t my jam: not down with franchises or corporate.
BUT it’s clean, comfortable, had options I could deal with (self imposed dietary restrictions), enough space so we don’t have to ask for special seating for my dad (mobility issues), it’s chill (I HATE crowded places), and so what if it isn’t MY jam… maybe it’s yours.
To each their own.
#YouDoYou
go celebrate a #HappyThursday with Terrence
He is a rad guy to celebrate with.

phone off, then I arrived befor 10:00 pm and she said that they are closing, I drove 25 minutes to come to this place and they didn’t let me going in. Never come back to this bad management lrestaurant. NEVERRRRR.

It’s so bad
Small shrimp
Ugly taste
Waters not impolitely
I never go again in red lobsters

First time trying Red Lobster and I totally love it! I had the Bar Harbor Lobster Bake, and my choice of drink was Long Island Ice Tea. The lobster bake portion was just right and the ingredients given were so worth the money. However, the Long Island ice tea wasn’t that fantastic. I would definitely visit again to satisfy my tummy!

Yes. I love Red Lobster. And I love this location the most. Granted it get expensive once you add on an appetizer and a Bahama Mama, but it’s all so worth it!
The menu covers it all, but I love thier shrimp dishes and thier lobster pizza the best. And of course anything pasta with lobster in it, I’m there!
Service can be a drag around dinner time but not aweful. They tend to tend to you (wait a minute) pretty frequently even if the food is late. But the food itself makes up for everything else.

I stopped coming here about two years ago because the service sucks. I came for dinner with a friend and I had the same experience. We started out with one waitress and she said that she was leaving and told us that we would have a guy waiter. I waited forever for my strawberry lemonade. I had to remind them a few times. The waitress did not leave she was taking care of other tables. I asked her about my drink and she said «your waiter hasn’t taken care of that?» I was like No. How would he know??? Well the food was ok, but I wont be back. Their service is horrible. They need more training and need to learn how to not keep customers waiting for a long time. They weren’t even really busy.

Quiana was an excellent server with a great welcoming smile she made this experience even better I have to say the food was delicious we ordered the new $ 15.99 trio with lobster pasta coconut shrimp and garlic salmon so good and It came with a side salad

We had the most amazing server ever!!! You’ll definitely want Scott to be your server. He keeps your drinks refilled and pays very close attention to your every needs.
The food was delicious and came very fast.
Overall we had a great experience.

Giving this place a whopping 4 stars because of the following reasons:
Price: $ 15.99 ENDLESS Shrimp, literally. You can choose from 5 or 6 different assortments of shrimp dishes. You get a side salad of choice, and one side dish on top of all that. They also bring out complimentary Cheddar Bay Biscuits.
Taste: Pretty good! I loved the Sirracha Grilled Shrimp Scewer and the Garlic Grilled Scewer. Bf loved the coconut shrimp bites and the Shrimp Alfredo Pasta.
We were left STUFFED.
Service: Our server was Avery, she was really pleasant, effiencent and professional. Came back to make sure we were good on drinks a couple of times and brough of fresh bread.
Overall, if I ever want seafood or a cheat meal (This is what I consider eating) then I will def come back. I also reccomend it to anyone who likes shrimp and a good deal!
