“Mike the bartender was friendly, attentive, and cool to boot. I’ve found far too often nowadays people are nasty or at minimum cold to each other, whether we’re talking about customer/employee or random members of the public. So when good people show themselves I believe we should make note of them and Mike is the epitome of class. Respectful and honest. Salute to Mike , I’d come back to this establishment purely because of him if I see him tending bar.“

“Delicious food! Great service! My absolute favorite place to dine!“

Kid-friendliness: Would be, but it's more of an adult golf-like scene

“Red Lobster – A Familiar Favorite with Standout Service

It’s Red Lobster—you know what to expect. But what made this visit memorable wasn’t just the seafood; it was the genuine hospitality. After a long day, our server went above and beyond, making us feel welcomed and taken care of, which made the meal hit just right.

We’ve been to another location in the past couple of years and left disappointed, but this visit changed our minds. Whether it’s a sign that Red Lobster is back on the upswing or simply a testament to the management at this location, the quality and service were exactly what you’d hope for when dining here.“

“We come here about once a month. It's consistently awesome! The food and the service are fantastic! Make reservations if you can though because some days, there's quite the wait. My wife, kids, other family members, and I love it and we will continue to come here every time we stay here. The club is a family favorite. Same with the kettle chips. Somehow I just tried the short rib tacos for the first time tonight and was not disappointed! Also, Johnny is an excellent server. Very professional and friendly. See you again soon!“
