My friends and I came to this Red Lobster to celebrate one of their birthdays. I haven't been to any Red Lobster close to a decade. We made reservations ahead of time. We found parking easily for a Friday night and got seated quickly. Our waiter was had a trainee with him while serving us.
We all got the ultimate feast because it's a great deal. It's two entree with two shrimp of the person choice and then two sides. I got mine with the sirloin, salmon, walt favorite shrimp, isle coconut shrimp which the waiter said is a favorite, fries and Mac N cheese. My friends mixed their entrees up. Our food came out quick though and it was a lot of food.
I did not like my sirloin steak at all so I wouldn't recommend it. The moment I bit into it, it was like powder with no flavor. I asked for some steak sauce but it didn't help much. The salmon was good being salty. I also did not like the coconut shrimp but the walt favorite shrimp was okay. The fries were fine and I barely touch the Mac N cheese.
My friends enjoyed some of their food as well but not all like the steak either. The birthday boy ordered the lobster punch drink which he like. We finished off the night with singing happy birthday and they brought him a brownie overboard dessert.

Food was good, Wade, our server was GREAT and the atmosphere got 3 stars only because it was close to closing time and the restaurant was dead. Not RL'a fault.

I recently dined at Red Lobster and had one of the best seafood meals I've enjoyed in a long time.
What truly elevated the experience was the exceptional service provided by the restaurant manager, Estavan Medina. He personally checked on our table multiple times, ensuring everything was to our satisfaction, and even went out of his way to accommodate a small request with genuine enthusiasm and professionalism. His attentiveness and warm personality made us feel like valued guests, not just customers. It's clear he leads his team with care and passion.
Red Lobster never disappoints when it comes to quality seafood, but with leadership like Estavan's, this visit was truly memorable. Highly recommend – we'll be back soon!

We had a great time at this Red Lobster! Everyone enjoyed their food, I just wish my lobster bisque was a little more flavorful with more lobster. This review is primarily about the service, though. Our waiter, Wade (I think) was wonderful! He was so personable, attentive, patient, accommodating, and even had a lovely sense of humor. Unfortunately, he spilled water on the table, but he was very apologetic and worked to get the spill cleaned up quickly. We were so impressed with this young man and he made our family's experience very enjoyable.

The food was good, but the service we received from Wade was exceptional. He went out of his way to accommodate our requests and answer our questions about menú items. He continously checked on us to make sure we had everything we needed and that our meal was enjoyable. Keep up the great work Wade! Please give Wade a bonus!
The restaurant wasn't busy at 12:15 on Christmas Day. The reservation on Open Table went flawlessly. We enjoyed our Christmas lunch very much. This was the first time we ever went out to any place to eat on Christmas. I was pleasantly surprised how kind everyone was and our waiter especially made the lunch great. The shrimp bowl was really tasty. Thank you for making our Christmas lunch out nice.
Everything was so delicious. I docked a point because their new menu excludes scallops as an entree choice. They still have them wrapped in bacon, as an appetizer, tho. Also, prices went up a lot.

Celebrated my mom's & brother's going away. Then my aunt suggested last minute to celebrate my birthday since it was coming up and my mom won't be around.
Good food. Great service. Our server got me a sundae for my birthday. Thank you.

Had the Sailer Broil for first time and it may have been the best meal I've had at Red Lobster.

Our waiter was just ok. We had to keep asking him for the same things more than once. He never asked if we had the Red Lobster rewards account. My Mom ordered the 🦀 and they didn't have any little forks or scissors to help break the crab legs and get the meat out. There was a child that was screaming the entire time we were there. This was supposed to be a birthday celebration for me. Very disappointing.
We went late so I can't judge the atmosphere. The food unfortunately was very bland. No flavor for the admirals feast and my broccoli was missing the butter sauce that makes it so so tasty. My server was very absentee which made our experience even worse. This was one of my favorite places and we never had an experience like that before.
