Red Lobster

Long wait even thou it was only a small number of people... The food was disappointing seemed not fresh overcooked for the price... it was my birthday lunch 4 of us... drinks was expensive and alcohol less was our worst red lobster expensive experience had to ask for condiments for obvious fish

I just sat in Red Lobster in Oceanside waiting for a dimple hamburger since 12:14 that at 12:58 I finally had to go find the manager as there were literally 5 tables in the entire restaurant and all but 2 had eaten. Instead of apologizing profusely the manager decided he preferred arguing vs making the customer happy. His exact words very rudely said " the hamburger being made" I said for 45 min and no one even in here? He repeated the same thing and debated with me when he sat me. I offered to show him which was 20 min him the 3 texts I wrote and phone call. He could have cared less. The people next to me had to also track down the waitress for their check after waiting 10 min. Last time I was there was horrendous and swore I'd never go back.. This time I mean it. I am still in shock eating a hamburger at a m6ch better restaurant 25 min layer. The worst experience ever, close your doors Red Lobster there's a reason you only had 5 tables during lunch hour.

Can't go wrong with the all you can eat shrimp and those cheese biscuits are to Die for go ahead live alil and grab a Live one from the tank

Currently waiting at the bar , no bartender ! My second time here in the last six months , and it was the same problem ! This place has potential , extremely short handed . Wish they would communicate this before they make you sit and wait ! In addition you can’t order food at the bar , seriously ! New flash , your competitors allow it . Have you heard of Texas road house , Outback , even your sister company Olive Garden allows it ! Only come here if you have abundance of time , and you don’t mind being treated like a second class customer ! Waiting and as you can see lots of empty seats ! Manager , seems to working as the waitress / waiter . Suggestion hire !!!!

The place smelled old/moisture. We ordered mussles they were fine, tasty. The other dishes took a while to be delireved to us (more than 20 mins), clam chowder was great, and th other ones were OK. The cutlery was dirty, so my conclusion is that they need to renovate the restaurant (looks old) and be more careful with the cutlery.

I had a time reserved through next door, however the hostess told me it was the only table available was in the bar area and not the dining room. Other parties of two were waiting also and they were seated in the dining room. We don't drink usually alcoholic beverages in the future I will request a table in the dining room under "special requests". Our server was very pleasant. She created us immediately with hot biscuits. Food came out so quickly, that we hadn't yet finished our salads. She was knowledgeable of the secret reward member menu specials and how the rewards worked. The food was fresh and tasty.

The customer service was so slow. Had to keep asking for our food. Never got one of our orders so they had to refund it. Ordered steak mid rare, over cooked and the smallest peace of steak. Also the chicken tasted like fish. Do not recommend. I definitely over paid for my experience tonight.

Food was delicious.. we had a large group and the service was great

Came for lunch and arrived just as they opened. Was seated in the bar area. Not really satisfied with that ambience, but sure glad we did. Had the best server of my life and I'm over 60! Jacob is what other servers should strive to be. He is the best. So friendly and caring. Our whole meal experience was so much more pleasurable. He was so knowledgeable about the menu and attentive, making our lunch meal so much better! The food was hot and very delicious. Definitely a location I will visit again!!

steamed lobster tail , as always, was excellent , but from stuffed flounder plate I only managed to eat over salted flounder and mashed potato leaving nasty stuffing and uncooked broccoli.....

Well at least i didn't wIit 40 min for a table!:First impression ,,, dirty ripped menus....Christina was my server,only asked if I wanted water,I wanted to know more about signature drinks.The rolls were old and hard,no wet nap ,so i had to use my friend's water to clean my fingers...I never got my broccoli. I had to use my fork to open the crab legs I asked for the usual tool but she said "well I gave you the cracker" my bake potato was so old and dry I couldn't even eat it.What happened to this corporate restaurant? Does no one offer good service anymore? Sorry won't be back ,,,so sad

Generally red lobster is consistent , however this is the LAST time I will go to the Oceanside, Ca. location. Terrible host and hostess interested in goofing off and a terrible not very attentive waitress. I had to go to the bar and get my own napkins and they were only cocktail napkins. The waitress was totally unaware of the current endless shrimp promotion. It took over an hour just to get 2 small plates of shrimp. I have up and went home and ate. This location sucks.

Went here for dinner tonight and it was pretty disappointing. We started with the crispy green beans which were petrified, the biscuits had a soggy very greasy feel and taste to them. I ordered Shrimp and A sirloin and I had to send it back because I ordered it medium and it was basically well done. I finally got the new steak after I was done with everything and at that point I was too full to eat it there. I did take a bite before we left and it was the driest steak I think I’ve ever had. The baked potato was good and so was the Cesar salad. My friend had Brussel sprouts which were very greasy and had a strange taste to them. She did say that the crunchy chicken sandwich was good. All in all for $60 we could’ve had a better meal someplace else. I won’t be going back to this place again.

So sad there was no waiting to do e on such a special day as Father's Day. The service and food was beyond awesome. Always a pleasure and memorable experience.

The shrimp scampi was delicious along with a salad& loaded baked potato. The cheese rolls out of this world good.
