Red Lobster offers a great dining experience with attentive and efficient staff. Guests have reported improvements in service and food quality under new ownership. The restaurant remains busy, with many customers ordering the new crab boils, especially the Mariner and the Sailor. These two boils can easily feed three adults and a child. While the shrimp in the Sailor boil was slightly overcooked, the overall experience was enjoyable. The Cajun butter was found to be mild, but still tasty.
The restaurant's atmosphere is cozy and comfortable, making it a good spot for a date. Service is generally good, although some have noted that certain staff members may not seem as enthusiastic. Despite this, the waitstaff is accommodating, even when managing multiple responsibilities. The famous cheddar biscuits continue to receive high praise, with many guests loving their flavor.
Among the standout dishes, Shrimp Your Way has been well-received, and the Lobster Dip was considered good, although some found it a bit bland and needed to add salt. The Bacon Cheeseburger received mixed reviews, as some found it chewy and lacking toppings. Overall, Red Lobster maintains a long-standing presence in the area, and despite higher prices, the quality of food and service makes it a worthwhile visit.
