Went for dinner on a Wednesday, early in the evening. It was fairly quiet so it was a relaxing environment. Blake was our server, he did a fantastic job start to finish. He was attentive and made sure we did not go without anything. Next time we are back we will be asking to be sat in his section. Great experience over all.

Let's see... called ahead because we had a party of 8, still waited at least 20 min. finally seated and at least another 15 minutes before any drink orders. we sat there for over an hour, still no signs of any food, the waitress did come back once after we flagged her down. all this and the place was not busy at all !! (now I see why! ) we walked out after paying for drinks. I've always loved red lobster, but don't think I will ever stop at the springfield loc. again. but hey - they did make us pay $38.00 for drinks !! only 1 alcoholic. it's always been one of my favorites but no more. it's so sad to see a restaurant you one enjoyed become a victim to "it's not my job, or I'm paid by the hour !"

My clam.chowder was only luke-warm. Couldn't see waitress to heat up. She was juggling a lot of tables.

Service was good but our food was not. I don't mind waiting 45 mins for good fresh food. My rice was half overcooked and half under cooked my Mahi was awful overcooked like a brick cold no favor. My husband's crab legs were dried out and baked potato was cold butter would not even begin to melt. Shrimp served on rice instead of in its own bowl (like shown on picture)Plates were very hot though. Too bad really Red Lobster was my husband's favorite restaurant

It's no wonder Red Lobster is in financial trouble. What used to be an incredible place to eat, has turned in to a place of embarrassment. I should've known when I arrived and the parking lot was empty, that something was wrong. We had a party of 10 for a birthday celebration. My wife and I both ordered grilled lobster, grilled shrimp and grilled salmon platter. Lobster tasted like it was held over from the day before, salmon the same way and the shrimp was the size of salad shrimp on a skewer. I should've went to Long John Silvers. The portions were small and the price was $39.95. What a waste. I will say the server dId a great job. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!

This is a joke of a job to have. The management is absolutely ridiculous tnere, will fire you for the smallest thing, like rolling your silverware “where they don’t want you to” but the rules will change everyday. The store manager gets off on talking to the entire staff like a dog. A new manager, Billy, likes to go around to the servers and tell them “he’s trying to get the GM fired/replaced etc” but will actually be building his own case against you. It’s WACK. Your table numbers will be wildly inconsistent, they’ll let you have 4 one day and 7 the next. If you need a reliable job, this is definitely not the place. The servers are amazing, and hardworking bit management is the biggest joke I’ve ever seen.

I ordered the lobster feast w/salmon and shrimp and sides of a baked potato and rice as a carry out order in Springfield, MO. I arrived 5 minutes before the order was supposed to be ready. I approached the hostess, gave my name and stated I was there to pick up a carry out order. The hostess looked in the To Go booth, came out and called to the kitchen. 15 minutes later, another employee ask if I was waiting for a to go order and when I replied I was, she handed me a Red Lobster bag with my order that was cold to the touch. I advised that I would not accept the food and wanted an order with hot food. She took the food back to the kitchen and returned less than 10 minutes later. I asked if they had reheated the food and she said no it was fresh food. Unfortunately, I did not check the food before I left. Upon my arrival home I discovered there was no baked potato with the order, the shrimp skewer on the top side Had a normally cooked appearance, But on the underside was chard and almost impossible to get off the skewer. The skin of the salmon was black and the Fish was tough. The lobster was also tough.
I called Red Lobster and asked to speak to a manager who was very polite apologetic and agreed to refund my money. We ended up throwing the dinner away as it was not palatable. If there were a way to attach the pictures I took of the food I would have done so with this review
