Red Lobster

We went at around 5pm on a Thursday and the service was amazing but the food was terrible. My boyfriend and I got the ultimate feast and the lobster was under cook the shrimp was drenched in old and mushy garlic sauce. We have been here at night and the food was much better.

The biscuits are to die for but so over priced for average food. Lobster is currently$ 4/​lb wholesale but they are charging $ 35 for a 1.25 lb one. SERIOUSLY???
Everything was drowning in parsley and cilantro — it gives me major heartburn so I asked for it to be left off. THREE of four items came out with parsley on them and had to be sent back.
The restaurant was almost empty but they still rushed us. they always rush us as it seems table flipping is their main priority.

Coming from Montréal, the prospect of having a red lobster and a Popeyes within minutes of me is a dream come true.
Red lobster did not disappoint. Those biscuits they serve before your meal are like little garlicky clouds of lard that just melt in your mouth. Sounds so gross, but it’s soo good.
As a group of 3, we ordered a few dishes and shared since we really wanted to try it all.
We started with some salads (psh) and a clam chowder. The chowder was yummy and wasn’t salty like I expected.
The lobster pizza was really good but it was really good in the same way that Dr. Oetker frozen pizzas can be really good. I’d be shocked if it didn’t come frozen.
We then had deep fried platter of shrimp, scampi?, scallops, potatoes, and white fish. This dish was simply ok. It was a heavy dish to eat but the tartar sauce and shrimp cocktail sauces were too addicting to pass up.
Our last dish was the lobster platter: the real star of the night. Lobster was so succulent and juicy that the garlic butter was not even needed. It also had some sausage and a piece of corn on the side as filler. Corn is corn. But the sausage had no place in this dish; I enjoy lardy breakfast sausage in the morning– not for dinner.
All in all this quebecer had a great trip down memory lane!

Love this place. Fresh buns and delicious lobsters! Shrimps in the lobster paradise is the beast! Waiters are really friendly and helpful!

Went here for Saturday night dinner:
There is no reservations but seeing that it was easter weekend we called ahead and asked what time would be best for us to come and avoid the rush. We didn’t have to wait for a table (bonus!). Then again, we wenr for around 7:30pm.
I got cesar salad starter and fisherman’s harvest main dish.
Cesar salad:
–I’ve had better. The salad was a bit soggy and the cheese was too hard. It seemed to be a full block of processed cheese that was just sliced off and bits and pieces were thrown in. The croutons were really good. Overal, the salad was good if you are really hungry. ⁶⁄₁₀
Fisherman’s harvest:
This dish came with baked shrimp/​pieces of scallop/​pieces of broccoli/​rice with cheese or cream. A side of asparagus (which I chose, and my oh my I had a large portion of it also). The tilapia fish was well cooked but could have used a bit more seasoning. The lobster tail split in two was very appealing and yummy. I could have gone for another tail. I had a hard time trying to finish the baked shrimp/​scallop concoction because I founs it under seasoned and too creamy. Overall, the dish was good but I xouls have done without the baked shrimp and scallop. I thought I would be getting big full pieces of scallop. ⁶⁄₁₀
The customer service was amazing. Our waiter was very pleasant to talk to and easy going.
The other dishes my table got were lobster taco dish and harbor front shrimp and lobster. Both dishes got overall good reviews. The harbor shrimp and lobster dish was said to be under seasoned but overall it was a hit.
I dont think I would go back for a dinner meal. I wouldn’t mind going for lunch to try out some of their lunch sandwiches.

They provide crappy service. I have visited this restaurant many times over the last few years, because my family loves seafood. When we want to take our guests out for dinner, we would pick this restaurant for its convenient location and «standard» service.
For most of my visits, I find it’s difficult to get the server’s attention and I’m not sure what they’re doing. They don’t come ask you how you’re doing when the restaurant is not even busy.
On our last visit, because they ran out of potatoes or something, without asking in advance, they brought a dish of steamed broccoli as a side. When we told them we didn’t order broccoli, they told us that they’d bring out the ordered baked potatoes soon. They never did. I had to ask the waitress again for it after at least half an hour had passed.
The waitress at my last visit didn’t give us more napkins when asked, either. I’d definitely be picking a different $ 100+ restaurant next time my family eats out.

The services and buns were great, usually the salad here you cant go wrong, but this trip the salad was average. The popcorn shrimp dinner tasted well, I find some of there dishes are not presented «pretty» This place usually has great dessert but their cheesecake had no graham cracker crust, it tasted and looked like cafeteria cheesecake and I am surprised because I have had good Cheesecake at Red Lobster before.

The best part of my meal was the salad as it was fresh and the dressing (sun dried tomato if I remember correctly) tasted ok. For my main, I had a steak with some garlic shrimp on the side. Both my steak and shrimp were overcooked, flavourless, and rubbery. However, my friend had a king crab legs plate and she dug in like crazy so I guess I ordered wrong.
