Had the special of steak and lobster delivered through Red Lobster app. Steak was flavorless. The lobster tail was the smallest I have ever see, maybe 3 ounces. The baked potato tasted stale. Haven't eaten the salad yet, but came with croutons which I requested not to apply. Beyond disappointed again. I am done with this restaurant.

Had a $48 lobster, shrimp and salmon plate. Everything was good but oddly enough the Lobster was the least liked item. Service was not great and had to listen to the server talking loudly with two other people who were eating. Strange cat breeding conversations and just overall odd for a server to be doing. Had to wait for any worker to resurface for 15 minutes to get my bill. Probably need adult supervision in this location as everyone was way to laid back for me to be eating a $100 meal with my wife.

I enjoy Red Lobster but I have to acknowledge that you can definitely tell that it is mass-produced frozen food, reheated ... except for the biscuits of course.
Those biscuits were delivered as soon as we were seated. I know that the service staff want clients in the same section but when there are only a few diners, they do not all have to be at a few tables all clustered together.
As for food:
The scallops are the smallest things ever seen. The flounder comes in pretty curled wide strips that taste like any random white fish, such as tilapia. The popcorn shrimp are delicious but I think even more batter and less shrimp than they used to be.
However, the butterfly shrimp and shrimp scampi both taste like actual shrimp. Particularly the shrimp in the scampi.
Though I think the best tastes came first. The seafood stuffed mushrooms were absolutely delicious! After 3 they begin to taste too salty. I am sure this is by design.
Since it was one of the rare occasions that I could have seafood (my spouse being allergic) I appreciated the food greatly.
The decor still included the older brass lamps with the lantern shape at the top. I love those. The place is painted a bright light beige and in the far distance from our booth there seemed to be a lighthouse in the distance.

Lobster was just okay. Flavor lacking the lobster baked potato had no flavor bland. Being a lobster place they really need to up their game. You should have bold flavors. Over cooking what you specialize in kinda of a joke.

We tried the 2 boils for lobster fest.
The mariner's Boil was okay, i would not get it a second time as it came with less food than anticipated (less food than the sailor's Boil) and the tails where dry.
The sailor's Boil was really good, pleanty of food and great flavor!
I normally get the snowcrabs legs when coming here which have always been a great choice!

WAITED 30 MINUTES FOR A SERVER AND HAD TO GO GET A MANAGER OURSELVES….TWICE. ORDERED FOOD AND WAITED ANOTHER 30 MINUTES JUST TO GET A COKE AND A WATER. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

Went to Red Lobster and somehow left feeling like I personally wrestled my dinner out of the Atlantic.
You ever crack into crab legs and get so locked in that you start narrating it like a Discovery Channel special? “Here we see the North Dakota oilfield worker in his natural habitat, armed with a tiny fork and unreasonable confidence…” 🦀
By the time I was done, the table looked like low tide after a storm. Butter everywhere. Shell fragments scattered like I’d just won a coastal bar fight. For a brief moment, I truly believed I had earned a captain’s license.
And the scallops? Absolutely elite. Perfect sear, tender, didn’t taste like they’d been bouncing around the freezer since 2009. Those were the quiet overachievers of the meal.
Came in landlocked. Left feeling like a salty sea veteran with a butter addiction. 10/10 would fish again.
