Food was pretty good and well priced for what it is. Daily Specials are a good deal.

It's red lobster, but as far as red lobsters go this one was a good one. Enjoyed our meal (we tried the boils) and had a nice server. Nothing negative to say really.

Debbie was fantastic!! She made my grandmother feel so at home for her birthday! Every staff member took time to stop and say happy birthday. The kindness goes a long way. Food was delicious and came out fast!

Our food was good, but the reason for the review is really because one of the waitresses (not our waitress, which was even more impressive) took the time to take a lobster out of the tank and show my four year old, let him touch it, and really showed and explained all the parts of it. He’s now been telling everyone for a few days how to tell if it’s a boy or a girl, what their different claws are called, etc. She spent about 10 minutes showing. It really meant a lot to him, and therefore me.

Went at good time. Service not so great we'd look for him for stuff. Never asked if we wanted refills. And had $ on table for tip and he took it before we even got up from the table. Honestly shouldn't have gotten what he did but 10 was all we had

Everything was really good at this restaurant. I hadn't been to a Red Lobster in a long time because there wasn't one around me but I was visiting Altoona and we decided to go in. I had the salmon Sesame Asian bowl that had roasted brussel sprouts and crispy rice and other things like edamame. It was delicious and my husband had a shrimp Caesar salad it wasn't on the menu but he asked if he could have shrimp instead of chicken and he was also very satisfied delicious and the servers were super Pleasant and accommodating and the cheese rolls that were given on the table we're delicious and we ate them before our food came and she brought us more. If you haven't been to Red Lobster in a while please try this place. It was great and the prices are reasonable and if I'm in the area again I would definitely go back

Ordered a seafood boil and the mushrooms. The mushrooms looked just thrown in the box there was only 2 of them for $12. The seafood boil had no flavor barely anything in it for $45. If red lobster wants to have a come back with the ceo, they need to get better cooks.

I went here with my siblings on June 14th, and the food and service were phenomenal! I would normally put a 5 star rating for the atmosphere, but something unexpected happened. I will explain what happened after I talk about the good things about this visit. First, the shrimp linguini alfredo was very good! I would definitely get it again. Second, the Parrot Isle Coconut Shrimp dish was very good! The piña colada sauce pairs very well with the shrimp. The shrimp by itself is very good, but the sauce makes it a whole lot better! Third, I've had their lobster bisque many times, not just at this Red Lobster, but other Red Lobsters as well, and it's to die for!!! It's that good! Also, their Chesapeake Fries weren't that bad. They're just fries coated with Old Bay seasoning, but they were good. Last but not least, I had their Berry Sangria, and it's good! I will definitely come back here again! (Also, I know this probably doesn't happen often, but when my siblings and I were eating there, suddenly, the fire alarm went off. Luckily, it wasn't too serious. I believe the waitress that was serving us (Kristen B) said that one of the cooks was burning something, and the smoke triggered the fire alarm. It was a bit inconvenient. None of us, including the people that were in the restaurant, had to leave. The fire alarm was turned off shortly after, and everything was resolved. Normally, in this kind of situation, I would give the atmosphere rating a 4, but I will have to give it a 3 because I have epilepsy. I take medication for it, but even with all of that flashing caused by the fire alarm, I had a minor headache afterward. I had to take it easy for the rest of that evening. Hopefully, the next time I visit this Red Lobster, hopefully, one of the cooks doesn't decide to burn something and cause the fire alarm to go off. That's the only complaint I have. Other than that, I loved my visit here on June 14th and would come back here again!) (Also, I mentioned her name already, but Kristen B, she was really nice to us!)(She definitely deserves a raise!)(Also, we ordered the Lobster Flatbread. I was going to take a picture of it, but everyone started digging before I could take a picture of it, but it's okay. You can see part of it in the picture that has the Berry Sangria in it, so yeah.... 😅😅😅😅)(Also, the Lobster Flatbread was very good! I would highly recommend it if you like lobster and any kind of flatbreads!)

The host who seated us was great! The server, however, was not. She would disappear into the back for long periods of time. Stephine F was the name on our receipt. You could hear her back there talking about things not related to work. The server has a lot to do with whether you enjoy your meal or don't. If she doesn't bring napkins or ask at least two or three times if you need anything, she may be the reason people don't come back. The salmon was good. The stuffed mushrooms were good. The hush puppies were a little sweeter than I like.

Everything was really good, But, corporate ought to put some $$ up and do a face-lift inside. It really is dated compared to some local competition. But we would go back for sure. Ps staff was super friendly! Mv

It's been a while since I've been to a Red Lobster. Given that, I was impressed with the decor. The food was good. A couple suggestions, the New England Clam Chowder could be thicker and needs a few more clams. We were surprised that fried clams were not a menu item.

Service: Sierra was phenomenal! She was gracious and funny and joined right in with our group of six. When one of us began making silly requests, she found a way to make light and yet fulfill them. She was accurate and checked in regularly without being intrusive. She's a gem!

Overall, our group was satisfied (and full by the end of the meal.
