Had a great meal at the Red Lobster on Whiskey Road in Aiken, SC! I ordered the Shrimp Trio with a loaded baked potato, and everything came out hot, fresh, and absolutely delicious. The Cheddar Bay Biscuits were fantastic--warm, fresh, and as good as ever! Our wait staff was friendly, attentive, and provided excellent service from start to finish. Overall, it was a great dining experience, and I would definitely recommend this location to anyone looking for a delicious seafood meal. read more

The salmon at Red Lobster was amazing. The facility was very clean and the food came out hot. Our server, Bill, was very attentive and offered us a free dessert because some of our sides were delayed. Will definitely be going back. read more

The only reason it didn't get 1 star is because the biscuits are great. Other than that you pay high prices for low quality & quantity food. The service is okay. The environment is nice the floors are a bit dirty. I paid $26 for a small plate of pasta with no side. read more

Food is better than before the pandemic. Service was excellent. Ambiance was great. read more

Food took forever. Service was slow. Had to get my food to go because it took so long. Asked for a manager and the server just pointed to her. Walked to the host stand to speak to her but she was on a call. Had to leave before speaking to her so tried to call from the car. Waited on hold for 5 minutes before finally giving up. Don't know if the food would have tasted better fresh but now its reheated. Definitely wouldn't recommend just for the service and long kitchen time. Very disappointed read more

Well, I had a taste for Fish and Chips. It wasnt what I had expected. Very oily, and way too much batter on fish. In fact they heaped a whole bunch of batter on plate, making the meal seem larger than it was. I had to dig through the batter to get to the fish, which was too oily. Instead of chips, I received limp string fries. Too much oil. I couldnt eat the coleslaw. It had an odd taste and wasnt fresh. More on the slimy side. One spoonful I tried, but had to spit it back out. The sweet tea was ok, but with so much oil, I cpuldnt drink too much of it. I dont know what hapoened. Usually the food is decent. Not this time. Yes. I did tell them the fod wasnt appetizing. Bummer..... At least the server was proficient. read more

Ordered the calamari and was very disappointed. Absolutely anemic, barely edible. Not even a lettuce leaf. Served with chili sauce, not tartar or cocktail sauce. Pretty ghetto imho. read more

This location would not accept coupons and the Red Lobster coupon for 10% off was not honored on a takeaway order. The $30.99 1 pound snow crab legs with garlic butter was presented with NO melted butter and had the garlic butter poured over the crab legs in their shells. It made a messy dinner into an unacceptable combination. Why would anyone pour butter on the outside of a crab and then expect you to pick it? Too expensive and poorly presented. read more

Visiting my kids for a week , we stopped here for a birthday dinner for my daughter Jessica. We sat down, with a few gifts ordered and the staff was so attentive our food was cooked perfectly to order, the checked regularly for drink refills,and even caught the fact that it was Jessica's birthday! They brought her a dessert and dang happy Birthday! I have NEVER had such fantastic service ! read more

Food is always on point but they could give more food for the price. I really love seafood and they have the best in town. read more

Very excellent place to go to for food before church . It was a good idea to order dinner through the app as sometimes Red Lobster can get very busy in the evening.The Garlic Linguini I purchased was very great and excellent and the Chedder Bay Biscuits will always be the best part of the meal. Overall, this experience has been great. Great food and great service. :) read more

Food quality is basically a gamble. Youre either going to get the juciest most savory crab ever, or crab that tastes straight out of the back of a freezer. Service is usually pretty great, Ive only ever had one bad experience with a server there, and that was a few years back. The appetizers and lobster dishes are usually your best bet to have a good time. read more

I ordered a pickup order online. The young lady I initially talk to was very nice. I realized that they hadn't put my cheese biscuits in my order. I came back and the young male supervisor was there. He wanted to see my recipe and he looked at it and said hun that's weird, like I was trying to cheat him out of some biscuits! I will not be going here again besides the bad service the food was terrible! Aiken red lobster read more

An average experience with acceptable food. The menu has been pared down quite a bit. The calamari was good and the have the best biscuits hands down. The cook on the scallops was a fail as there was no sear whatsoever. The Brussel sprouts were very good. It was just ok for the money. I think it's a bit overpriced. read more

This place is always consistently good not sure why anybody wouldn't give it full stars. If you like red lobster and they are dishes and this place delivers! We happen to love the choices at red lobster and the staff are always friendly and eager to serve what more could one ask for from a chain restaurant? read more

I ordered the shrimp and scallop skewers and they were delicious! Our server was absolutely wonderful. She was pleasant and very attentive to our needs. read more

We haven't been to Red Lobster in quite a few years, but last night, everyone wanted seafood! The place was busy, almost every table full, but still seated within the 25 minute wait time we were told. So maybe 20 minutes?. After seating, it was only a few minutes before Shanique, greeted us. Ordered drinks and coconut shrimp . These and the biscuits came out rather quickly. Them ordered entrees. Didn't seem like a long wait for our food and others around us also being served in what seemed a timely manner. The food was awesome!! And I can't brag enough about Shanique and her attentive service! She was checking on us several times throughout our meal like we were her only table, even though I know we were not. She chatted up other tables as well. Super friendly and fast with requests. So we definitely will revisit. All the staff encountered were very nice and friendly. Food was great. read more

The place was empty and very nice at first . The food was good but service was terrible. I also ordered a cocktail and reminded multiple servers, however I never got my drink nor did the servers come back to our table for the entirety of our meal. We had to go to the front to get our bill and leave. read more

Ate a red lobster yesterday for my 26th birthday and was extremely disappointed. Food took over and hour and 20 minutes in a no where near busy restaurant. One of my friends came with his family after seeing my snapchats of the biscuits and were sat 30 minutes after us and received their food before us. The cajun chicken Alfredo that I've gotten for years was bland and about the size of a half portion last time I went and had little to no chicken. I ordered a second order of it to go for my lunch today and opened it to find that it had no sauce, just plain noodles and chicken?! This place has gone way down hill and after searching the entire restaurant for a manager we received 20% off but that didn't feel like enough for the horrible experience. Red Lobster has been my go to for birthday meals but I'll never eat at this location again. read more

I had the endless shrimp dinner and I didn't finish my meal and wasn't allowed to take my food home that I paid my money and I only had one plate, didn't order any extra.. want eat at Red Lobster again in Aiken read more

So dirty! The carpet is just filthy! The table tops have not been washed, the chairs are too dirty to sit on. How can the health department allow them his? read more

Went here on my birthday and my lobster was more rubbery than a piece of rubber, by far the worst red lobster I've ever been to and this is the one in Aiken off whiskey road. read more

I hadn't had Red Lobster in a while and I was really impressed with the the taste of the meal considering the price is twice the amount I once paid for it overall I enjoyed everything read more

Ate 9/13/2021 , monday special AYCE shrimp. Our anniversary. The shrimp were good size, I had 5 portions of different shrimps, a roll, and small salad. I was stuffed, and it takes a lot to fill me up. Big butterfly shrimp, thin coating. Was a good night. Service as I would expect, time wise. Not too crowded. They used disposable menus, staff were masked. Want shrimp and decent service, it happened for us last night. read more

I went here with my boyfriend, two separate occasions, two different waitresses each time, they both completely ignored me and asked my boyfriend what he wanted, HE had to ask me if i wanted anything because they neglected to. One of them literally bent over the table leaning into my boyfriend to look at his menu, as if they don't work there and haven't seen it before. The food was over cooked and rubbery and expensive. Only refilled my boyfriends drink, only spoke to him when approaching the table. Horrible service, horrible food, understaffed, dirty environment with dishes piled onto tables, outdated music. read more

This was, by far, my worst experience with this restaurant so far! Overcooked lobster and shrimp, tiny crab clusters missing legs, missing side items and sauces, and all the meal just piled in together where the sides get all over each other and the entrees. This restaurant is only god if you dine in; otherwise take out and delivery they fail on Every time! read more

What an unexpected surprise. I'll be the first to admit that I'm not a fan of Red Lobster...My family and I ended up eating dinner here tonight because my Mother-In-Law really likes it. Going in on a Monday afternoon at 4:30, my expectations were very low. From the time we walked in, we were greeted by a friendly host who took the time to show my 6 year old the lobsters in the tank and even got one out so she could look at it up close. He seated us and even shared the specials with us before leaving our table. Then our very friendly server took over and provided excellent and friendly service the entire time we were there. In addition to the service being great, the food was delicious. If you haven't tried Red Lobster in awhile, I highly recommend giving it a shot! read more

First of all, the food overall was not bad, but several dishes had issues. I ordered the big shrimp deal, with four different selections... The jumbo coconut shrimp were anything but jumbo (sizes at 16-20), the brown sugar grilled shrimp were somewhat rubbery, and in the creamy pasta with shrimp i discovered several pieces of shrimp shells ( showed the culinary manager who 'comped' my entree... Looking for positive note I ordered their delightful-looking apple crostada for dessert....unfortunately, it wasn't filled OR full of the heirloom apples (as advertised) but rather I found that the outsides all around the crostada were just doughy masses of nothingness.... All in all not what I went there for...so I doubt we'll be back...a shame... read more

I'm a big fan of those biscuits, so that is where most of their rating comes from! The food is usually hit or miss for me. The servers (especially Montana) have been great the past few times I've been there. The salads are usually a no-go for me (Im just not a fan of the crunchy lettuce parts) but the pasta is pretty yummy! The restaurant went under renovations in the past few years, so it's usually pretty neat and clean! read more

Very very disappointing! Can't rate the food nor the service as we never got any! After being seated we waited for over 30min. for a server. Never came! Finally just gave up and left. read more

Recently redone and updated. It made a big difference in the overall feel and improved the whole experience. We were well cared for by the staff and the food came out in a timely manner tasting great. Cheddar biscuits were AMAZING (as always). While we were there, I observed several large parties that were easily accommodated and handled well by the staff and management. read more

Less crowds and waiting times give this place a 5 star rating. I've been to the Red Lobster on Washington Road and I must say, this one is superior. i LOVE the fried calamari appetizer and here, our food arrived almost 10 minutes after we were seated and received our drinks. Our waiter was great- very funny and attentive. We were still snacking on the appetizer when our meal arrived, something that never happens at the Washington Road location. The food even tasted fresher! read more

Great seafood and good drinks if u drink addfordable and good prices kids welcome you can find one just bout everywhere.

Had a great lobster with the stuffing tonight.The waitress was great too.The last couple times in the food has been good even though a little slow worth the wait. read more

Used to be a five star until the general manger Pat Robinson left. It has changed management at least twice since then but I still don't feel the welcome and taste the quality of food that used to make this my favorite place to eat in aiken despite it being a chain. The sweet tea used to be the best. Now the food and service are mediocre and sometimes jjust plain bad read more

My wife and I went here for dinner this evening. We were seated promptly. Wait staff was excellent. Very attentive and knowledgable about the menu. The food was very good. The portions were very nice. We really enjoyed our meal. The cost was on the moderately high side. We expected that going in. read more

Yes, just yes. It's amazing and I very much recommend it!!! You should go to it!!! Even if you don't like seafood they also have other amazing options!!! read more

Good salad, Cheddar biscutes are good, baked potatos are awesome.

Had dinner here last night with my son. Service was great! My raspberry margarita was marginal at best...super sweet and cloying. Next time I'll stick to wine. The lobster pizza appetizer was very dry, not very hot and had little evidence of lobster. Entrees were perfect. I had grilled salmon and asparagus which were perfectly cooked and the lobster mashed potatoes were nice too. read more
