Not going to lie, I was pleasantly surprised and pleased with our visit to Red Lobster. It's not high end, obviously. But, overall we were pleased with our visit and would visit again. Yes, it is the 'Applebees' of seafood. So, expectations should be tempered. The biscuits alone are worth a visit every now and then!

Food was good. Restaurant was understaffed and while our server tried hard, she was unable to keep up with her tables.

The food of course was delicious and service awesome . This app is wonderful because it allowed me to make a reservation for a birthday dinner. Normally you can't get a reservation so this avenue was perfect!

Our waitress was most attentive and very pleasant . The entire meal for all of us was excellent and my coconut shrimp was the best I have ever had. Others had the lobster roll, the carbonara dish and one had the chicken Cesar salad. The chicken received a high rating for being moist and not dried out on the salad. We will all return and enjoy those wonderful cheese biscuits.

the only negative I might have is the lobster bisque could have been hotter. Food was gr4eat, service perfect

It is a retro dining experience in which you shouldn't expect 5-star food, but reflect on the fact that it is still there, is still large & comfy, and provides many memories from years ago.

Is lobster bisque supposed to be cold? If so, this is your place. The service was fine but had to remind the waitress to bring the salad after my entree was served and for a to go bag twice. My wine glass was dirty. Now that I think about it, a very disappointing experience. Good thing I had great company.

I want to first preface this by saying that this was only my second experience at this location, and my first visit was nothing like this. However, my second time around was honestly very frustrating.
My group of seven made a reservation for 5:30 PM for a birthday meal, and we were seated exactly at 5:30 on the dot. While they were on time, it did make our group a bit anxious as we waited, especially as the time got closer and we worried they might seat us late. Our drinks were taken promptly, and our food orders shortly after. However, they took their time bringing out the biscuits and a martini that one of us ordered. The martini itself was missing the brownie bite it was supposed to come with, which at first didn’t seem like a big deal before the food came out. Then, our food took about an hour to arrive. I don’t know about you, but waiting an hour for food feels excessive to me. On top of that, one of our sides never arrived, and after our meals were served, the waiter just never checked on us again. I had to flag him down just to get our checks. Not only was an item completely missing, but my Shrimp Alfredo was also disappointing—the shrimp looked, felt, and tasted undercooked, and the Alfredo pasta tasted like it had no sauce at all. I had two others in my party taste it, and we all agreed it just tasted like plain, wet noodles. How do I know the shrimp was undercooked? Because I also ordered the shrimp scampi, which was cooked just fine, AND another person in my party also ordered the shrimp Alfredo and had no issues with it. Overall, it was a series of small issues that made the experience frustrating. I understand that mistakes happen, but the fact that our server never checked on us and we had to ask for the missing item to be taken off the bill felt like something that could have easily been avoided. Had our table been checked up on at all it may have given us a chance to have our issues fixed, even if it took an ENTIRE HOUR for them to serve our food. We waited an hour for food that was both missing an item and poorly prepared, and instead of checking in, our table seemed like an afterthought until we flagged the server down. In the end, we left over an hour and a half after being seated, dealing with all of these issues.

Love this location! The food is always exceptional, as is the service - even with takeout orders. Ellis went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed to make our meal at home as pleasurable as the dine-in experience at this location. He was so kind and accommodating. We will be back!
