Honestly, I'm somewhat unsatisfied. At first, they were a bit iffy about seating us. i was actually happy to come here because it was my birthday today but because they kinda hurted my feelings and it ruined my day and it made me not want to tell them and honestly this will be my one and last time i write a review here and come here to waste my money and to start of we have the biscuits that where bit dry. I kinda remember them a bit more fluffy with a side of butter. What happened to the butter??? The mozzarella sticks are so cheesy that they even do a cheese pull!!! they may be the best ones from all the other food chains that serve mozzarella sticks, and the marinara sauce is actually pretty decent they have the right amount of tamotoity taste I got the bacon mac and cheese and the lobster ligunie My friend got the surf and turf with bake potatoes and rice on my dish the Mac and cheese has a interesting taste and I think it's cause the quality of cheese they use and my taste buds are not used to the taste sorry not a cheese expert. The pasta was good. i think that they had the right ratio of lobster the lobster for some reason taste more fishy than the lobster that is eating on its own maybe it's just me who thinks that the surf and turf my friend got she will give it a 4 1/2 out of 10 the rice was really stale hard and chewy at the Same time and the baked potato honestly it's was really bad she was really upset because no one told us that it came with sour cream instead of butter???? overall, it was a somewhat unexpectetly interesting experience. I didn't leave with a smile, nor did I leave mad. I think the word I call it is disappointment

Walked in and there was a 50 minute wait time so my and dad and I opted for the bar. We sat at a table that was in the bar area and was ignored for 10 minutes. Went and sat at the bar, another 10 minutes went by without being greeted. Had to order all of our food and drink at the same time otherwise we would not see the waitress for a good amount of time. I get that the bar is responsible for their customers and making drinks for others but there was on organization or order. Also bar needs to be kept by consistanly wiping it down. There were crumbs everywhere.

This is the first and last time I'm ordering the never-ending shrimp or heading back to a Red Lobster for a while. The shrimps are very good lots of options. That said, the waiter told us we would only be allowed to order one small plate at a time which is about three shrimps. She said it was due to people taking advantage. The waiter would bring the three shrimps at a time as we finish them, ten to fifteen minutes later. Our plates had to be empty. It was an awful experience. You would need to be here for 6 hours to fill yourself. It was embarrassing, I brought my parents with me to try out the restaurant. I do not know if all locations have the same policy. My parents got so hungry, they just ended up getting the regular items and sharing those.

Late lunch Sat afternoon. No wait.Seated & greeted. "Anything to drink? Or are you ready to order?" I inquired if they still made a delishious black raspberry daiquiri they made probably 25 years ago.She said she'd check. And said Yes!Great we'll take two!My son is not much of a seafood eatter but he ordered a combo of popcorn shrimp & the coconut shrimp.I asked for price on 1.25lb lobster. $50 bucks. I chose that. Im there for lobster.She returns with our drinks. Not the same black raspberry I was talking about, but tasty. $13.99 ea.She asks if I want to pick my lobster? I hesitate, Ive seen tanks out front, but never chosen one from it. I decide to go look.They all want on the rake, so I say anyone of them is fine.Their biscuits are delishious.The food comes & looks great!But I discover I have no idea how to get the meat out of a full steamed lobster! I've only eatten tails. I work on a claw untill the waitress comes to check on us. She offers to take my lobster back & have it cracked up by the pros.Dinner was great from there. A little work but worth it. All I ate was lobster, took all sides home for lunch.I highly recommend this place. Its pricy, so plan or save according.Our meals & 2 cocktails total $100. And dont forget the tip. We tipped 20% as everything was well executed, which added another $20 to our tab.Money well spent on a special meal.

Red Lobster in Brea, CA is our preferred anniversary dinner celebration. We have not been in a few years and were wondering how they fared post covid and rising costs. They seemed to be a little understaffed but we didn't count. The hostess was friendly and talkative which is good. I've been ignored at other restaurants. Our server, Randall, was friendly, welcoming and attentive. When we had questions, he had the answer. He took the time to ask some questions and took our picture. The food was DELICIOUS. We both had top sirloin that was tender and cooked to perfection. The baked potatos could have been cooked a little longer but that may just be my preference. The broccoli was yummy. My wife had the rock lobster which is a little pricey compared to Maine but she loved it. I had a bowl of clam chowder which could have been a little thicker but it was still good. We topped it off with chocolate wave cake & ice cream! Yumyumyumyum. All in all, it was a great night out!

I got an order delivered from grub hub about 30 min ago. Loved the Maine lobster tails!5 , they are sweet juicy and still warm, with melted butter. What was NOT good was the lobster juice in the tray was sopped up by the fresh French fries that were no longer crispy but soggy and cold, yuk! So gross! They need to package the fries like the side of broccoli in a tray that’s still warm and fresh.
Very disrespectful staff even when I called the hung up on me cause the signal was choppy. Nothing I could control but yet I was disrespected none the less. Gave them a second chance went in to eat and the food wasn’t not cooked right and not even seasoned properly. Not a great red lobster I won’t return to this location again. Good luck to other ms who visit but I suggest you stay away

It's... fine.The place seemed relatively quiet, yet seating required a 25 minute wait, and food took almost an hour to come out. Staffing issues, perhaps? By the time I left, the place was packed, so hopefully they handle the rush better.I got the fish n' chips. The fries were okay. The fish was okay. The coleslaw was inedible. It didn't come with a lemon wedge or tartar sauce, which I consider standard fare for such a dish.The price was decent.Would I go again? Probably not.Dietary restrictions: Shockingly, there's a lot of shellfish on the menu. Beware if allergic; cross-contamination risk very high.
