This red lobster is in a great location.
Parking is good, they have a big lot.
It wasn't really crowded in here, so we got seated right away. Out waitress was nice, and attentive.
Our food was exactly what we wanted, and ordered. Nothing to complain about.
Will return.
Not having been to red lobster in many years, I was intrigued by endless shrimp so decided to visit this location on a Friday night. There was quite a few people waiting and the wait grew even larger even towards later in the evening. The ambience of the place was dark and a bit depressing and pretty dirty to be honest (you could see they were understaffed). As for the actual endless shrimp, it was disappointing. The actual shrimp were tiny but tasted ok( I would go with grilled or coconut) but since you only get one order at a time, it takes a long time to wait and eat every time. We were there for three hours before eventually giving up and left hungry. The service was friendly enough but because they were understaffed, they had hostesses and waitresses both handling food, cleaning the floor, etc and it seemed extremely unsanitary. I wish endless shrimp was a better experience but it will probably be years before heading back to red lobster
Wow. Looking at my old review, it's time to replace that tiny one with a revamp for my most recent experience. Ready? Here we go, and I'll even throw in an extra star!
We encountered a 10 minute wait before being seated. That waiting time was reasonable. After the wait, we got seated at a comfortable booth. Surprisingly, it took 20 minutes before someone showed up. It took an additional 10 minutes before our drinks showed up. We were thirsty, & waiting 30 minutes in total just to get our drinks (water at minimum) was unacceptable, and the only reason why the maximum rating isn't warranted.
After 20 minutes, our waitress came by, along with the Cheddar Biscuits to start (yum!). She was very cheerful and possessed a positive attitude. She took our orders, and answered our questions regarding some of the entrees without an issue. She even pointed out some popular ones before taking our orders. After waiting for our drinks, the service speed sped up.
We got our drinks. We ordered water and the Sunset Passion Colada. Even though it was watered down, it was still really fruity. Our waitress told us that they've received a lot of complaints in regards to this drink since they weren't getting the "buzz". Well, I didn't complain about that. But if this was in Aruba or on a cruise, then I would.
This time, we ordered appetizers to start and share. We started with the lobster pizza. This was a small-to-mid sized thin crust pie that was made up with cheese, lobster & tomato pieces, and some sauce with seasoning. That was good.
We also ordered the mozzarella cheese-sticks. It had a fresh taste, not a frozen one. The coating was really crispy on the outside, and the cheese was gooey on the inside. The seasoning that was utilized made the marinara sauce really tangy and tasty, and was perfect for the dipping. Everything here tasted great, and the price was reasonable for the amount we received.
All of our entrees came with a salad and unlimited cheddar biscuits. The cheddar biscuits were rich with the cheese flavor and seasoning, and weren't dry. It was warm and tasted great. We ordered the garden salad with cheddar cheese shavings and croutons. Overall it was okay, even though it was quite clear that the restaurant was skimping down in ingredients as there were less vegetables mixed in than before (lettuce amount was the same).
My mom got the Shrimp Festival special, in favor of the Extra Jumbo Garlic-Grilled Shrimp & the Extra Jumbo Sriracha-Grilled Shrimp. The size and amount that she received for the price was reasonable, and she liked it. My dad had the Wood-Grilled Peppercorn Sirloin and Shrimp, with rice pilaf as an inclusive side. He enjoyed his meal, and he let me taste the sirloin, and that tasted great.
I had the Parmesan-Crusted Chicken Alfredo. This was almost like a "Haven" for cheese-lovers. The chicken was good, and the crispy, cheesy Parmesan coating made the taste even better. This came with the pasta with Alfredo sauce. The flavor in that sauce was really spot-on. Overall, this was enjoyable. You don't get any inclusive sides with this entree.
The restaurant itself consisted of numerous table and chair sets and booths. As we walked in, we saw an aquarium filled with live lobsters. Low-key lighting and decorations consistent with fishing in the ocean were existent throughout the restaurant. The ambiance wasn't loud, and a mix of country and adult contemporary hits played in the background.
We didn't order dessert since the combination of appetizers, biscuits, salads, and entrees filled us up, which was actually a good feeling. Overall this was a very good experience, which was better than our previous one long ago. We hope the service speed speeds up in the future. Also, they don't serve Spicy Chicken Tortilla Soup anymore. But because of the food, we WILL be back sometime in the future. Cheers! 🙂
For some reason we wanted to go to Red Lobster. The food and service were good. The one thing that I did not understand is we had to wait 20 minutes for a table but the place was half empty???
I usually don't prefer this location. The service is very lackluster and the vibe is just awkward. However, I went for one reason only – Endless Shrimp!! Our server was surprisingly pleasant. It costs more than whats advertised on the tv commercials. However, I left with a full stomach. Mission accomplished!!
There is nothing great about this Red Lobster, and there is nothing horrible about it. Honestly, it's about as middle of the road as you can get. I enjoy their cheddar bay biscuits, which is my only reason for going here. I never go during prime dinner time, because there will be a wait.
The parking lot is a little small, but it also prevents a very very long wait. I feel like if you can get a spot in their lot, you won't have to wait longer than a half hour.
They are always running good specials, where you get a LOT of food for a small amount of money. And they keep bringing those amazing biscuits as long as you keep asking for them.
Ok- so I normal avoid this red lobster location like the plague because the service normally sucks. I usually order to pick up only if I'm having a craving for fast seafood . Normally they take forever to pick up the phone, or they get my order wrong or when I go to the bar to pickup my order- no one greets me for a long time.
BUT I have to say that the last two times- I was there to pickup an order- the bartender Al has been attentive and I had NO problems – thus the 3 stars – or else it would be one.
Service jobs should have people who like to SERVE the public- and be attentive and able to be fast and juggle tasks- just saying.
Anyway-
If you are looking for a healthier option- they have a wood grilled meal that has lobster, shrimp and salmon. I LOVE scallops and they will substitute the salmon for scallops if u would like ( the meal used to be with scallops) – anyway it comes with green beans , baked potato as well as the normal salad and cheese biscuits.
I normally try to avoid reviewing chain restaurants, but this Red Lobster location is so lackluster that I can't help but make an exception here.
I've been to this location several times now, most recently on Cinco de Mayo- my thoughts were that everyone would be eating at a Mexican restaurant, so it would be fairly dead here. To an extent I was right, as there were several open seats at the bar, so I grabbed one. However, here was only one bartender working, splitting his time between making drinks for tables in the back room and tending to guests in the bar area. Unfortunately guests sitting at the bar took a backseat, as it took 10 minutes to flag him down and order a drink. Waiting for the check was equally as painful, the bartender disappeared for what seemed like 15 minutes and was nowhere in sight. Thankfully a manager came over and closed me out.
What I didn't seem to understand was how much food was getting back to the kitchen. The couple seated next to me ordered the large fried seafood platter, and kept complaining how it was nothing like was pictures in the menu. The next couple over sent both of their entrees back for being cold. My entree itself was fine, just struck me as weird how dissatisfied with this restaurant many people were.
