This was my first time stepping foot into a red lobster. It was a chilly Monday night and we were out celebrating something worth celebrating. We were greeted by a kind host and seated right away. I had no expectations coming into the restaurant for I had no idea what to expect! I hadn't heard anything good or bad so I decided to keep an open mind. Let me tell you about their phenomenal cheesy biscuits.... Ohemgee. They're so perfectly seasoned and not overly cheesy. I'm not a huge fan of cheesy things so I was very pleased that this biscuit had just a hint of it. So good on its own, but you may add butter if you please. We started with the lobster artichoke dip. This was delicious, but it was a little too runny for my liking. I was expecting the dip to be a bit more creamy. I don't remember he name of my dish, it was baked lobster or something and it was delicious. The lobster was not dry or under cooked. The sauce that it was cooked in was a bit salty but nothing a rinse or butter can't mask ;). My roommates and fiancé were also pleased with their dishes. Please keep in mind I am not a connoisseur of lobsters so my expectations are low and I was very pleased. I wasn't too full the portion, accompanied with our appetizer and biscuits, were just right! Lastly, their strawberry lemonade was on the sweeter side. I like any type of lemonade more sour so this was mediocre at best for me. If you're ever feeling lobster on a Monday night I definitely recommend red lobster!! read more

The reason I'm giving this such a high rating was because, although there was a MYRIAD of issues with our experience there, the Manager handled it as if we were at her own home. Food: "Red Lobstery" Price: "Pricey" I don't live close to this Red Lobster, but if I feel like Red Lobster again, I'll drive to this one. read more

The general manager may be a pice of crock, but the waitresses here are incredible. I came here BY MYSELF on Valentines Day at 10:30 pm expecting garbage for service. My waitress (Jessica H. According to her name tag) was friggin incredible. She attended to me immediately even though I could tell she was wicked busy with other tables. After my order was taken, it was nearly immediately that my food came out and was delivered to my table. Again, Jessica gave me impeccable service in spite of how busy it really was in the restaurant, well beyond their typical hours of operation. She even made kind words about me being along on valentines day. What a sweetheart. Overall, the General Manager was complaining in front of customers the entire time (she seems to totally suck to work for) the wait staff and bartenders were pleasant, but Jessica H. really made my solo valentines night worth it. She's a gem, and I wish she was my valentine. read more

Red Lobster - Sam Adams is the only decent beer on tap. But the service makes the selection worth it. - Seafood Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

Ah, good old Red Lobster... it's been long time since I visited this establishment... the place hasn't changed in over the last 15 years... We got seated after waiting about 10 minutes... we had party of six, four got there early... we put in order order for drinks, then waited another 10 minutes to place our dinner orders... then our rest of the party showed, placed their order... I can say, the service was surely slow this day. Yeah, so I had the Endless Shrimp and let me tell you, I got my monies worth... I think I had about 100 shrimps... I stayed with the garlic grilled and garlic scampi... I had one order of breaded... otherwise, I got one order in every 15 minutes... we there there for two hours.... I think the service got slower at the end because we were eating too much! Oh well... I'll probably go back for the Endless Shrimps... but it'll be in few years... read more

Very obviously under new management. became a regular under the last management and then noticed the decline in food, service and general experience when I asked they said they had a management change. Food is still decent but the service and attitude due to bad service has me not returning. read more

Quality food at reasonable price. Sea food was so fresh. Accommodates babies very well.

Worst experience with Red Lobster I have ever had. I did take-out through Grub Hub and ordered the Dragon Shrimp which showed up as plain fried shrimp on a bed of wild rice...no sauce, no vegetables and absolutely none of the seasonings advertised. The caesar salads came dry as well, no dressing at all. And the calimari appetizer had no dipping sauces. When I contacted Grub Hub customer service to report the issues, Red Lobster refused to refund the cost of the incorrect and missing items. I will not be doing business with Red Lobster again. read more

Red Lobster - Dragon Shrimp ??? - Seafood Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

I ordered the wood grilled shrimp Skewers today from your lunch menu. I've ordered this same item the last five times I've gone to a Red Lobster. Today was the first time I noticed I have been systematically overcharged for this item. Instead of the 7.99 meal I picked, they routinely charge the 11.49 for the pick two meal. Which I never once have been given double shrimp. When I pointed this out to the waiter he told me it didn't exist on the menu for the price I was mentioning, when I pointed it to him he goes. Oh. I didn't know that was there. How many people are being overcharged? Also while ordering a cup of clam chowder as a side he noted that instead of the salad you could get soup for an additional upcharge. Ok. Whatever. When the manager finally fixed the receipt I thought the total was odd, he had taken off the meal charge and removed an upcharge from asparagus. Which was a nice move as they'd overcharged me. At this point I just want to go home and pay. Once I'm in my car, I noticed I just paid for an additional cup of soup. Which honestly negated his nice gesture of fixing my bill. I went back in and was given a 5$ bill for the soup and he kept my receipt. And on the way home I realized they over charge me every time I go in during lunch and order this item. Which is plainly frustrating. I didn't want to be comped any items. I simply wanted to be charged correctly. He even stated the soup would have been and additional up charge over the salad of 2$ which is STILL cheaper than full price even if it's only a few cents. Instead today I spent 20-30minutes trying to get billed correctly, which I wouldn't have even thought twice to check the receipt but I noticed the manager arguing with another lady about HER bill while being taken to my table. This is probably happening every day. All day long. I will not be back. I don't care if this was an honest mistake, it shouldn't have happened. I shouldn't have to specify I DO NOT want a pick two meal that I didn't even realize I could order. They simply comp the free salad for another side and charge the customer more money. 7.99 turns into 11.50 for the SAME MEAL, minus the extra shrimp. Then. When I went to sent this complaint to red lobster, the website won't let me pick the date or time, so I can't even submit a complaint. read more

Hard to rate the food because the initial service was so poor I had to leave. Walked in an immediately seated. 10 mins later, no water, no menus, had about 4-5 servers walk past our table and not one stopped to ask if we needed anything.... Let me give your staff a hint - EVEN IF NOT YOUR TABLE AND YOU SEE CUSTOMERS WITH NOTHING ON THE TABLE - ASK IF YOU CAN HELP THEM... read more

Ordered fish & chips off of their abbreviated menu and two sides. When the meal arrived it was 1piece of fish and my 2 sides When I inquired about the "chips", I was informed that the fries must be ordered as a side as the "chips" are not included with the fish & chips. Very receptive wording on the menu. read more

It was my first experience of trying lobster and crab. I can say it was amazing. Waitress was super kind and respectful. After she understood we even don't know how to eat it, she washed her hands and taught us how break the legs and bring out the meet. She told me if you don't like it, I would change it for you. read more

My dad loves Red Lobster! We went there for his 60th birthday on a Saturday-It happened to be during a U of M home game. We had a group of 8 and it was during the endless shrimp special...so the wait was very long. We waited for over an hour but the manager, Mark, was AMAZING! He was so much fun! He checked in with us regularly and made sure we were aware that he knew we were waiting and was trying his best to seat us. He had a great energy and was very accommodating. After our long wait he gave us free appetizer for the table. Once we were seated our waiter, Trent, was very nice and socialable. He was quick and attentive. Mark checked in on us several times throughout the meal as well. Our orders came out hot and our glasses were never empty. Mark and Trent were so great we insisted that they have a piece of my dad's birthday cake. They deserved it! They really helped make my dad's birthday memorable. In short: the staff was friendly, accomodating and a lot of fun. If all the staff is as great as these 2, I recommend this location HIGHLY! read more

Let me say this, I hate seafood. My body twitches when I see someone eat crab and lobster the same way I see someone eat ribs. It just seems very carnivorous and not very pleasing. I went with my mom, because she loves seafood, and I love their biscuit bread things. Those are delicious. And free. Mmmm. While the menu is not too great if you hate seafood and are cheap (cough), the option to order a dish with steak and seafood and split it is there for a reasonable price. I ordered a steak, and my mom got some sort of lobster tail thing. The salad that came with the meal was really good and fresh. It also went well with the biscuits :). The steak I got was enormous! It cost $19.99, but I wasn't expecting it to be that big. It was also delicious and juicy. Perfectly cooked, which I was definitely impressed by. My mom's dish was rather large as well, which I was impressed with. At the end of dinner, we ordered some apple pie with ice cream thing, and though it was also expensive ($5.50), it was really good. I never thought I'd enjoy a meal at Red Lobster, but I was really surprised with this location! The service was also excellent. It wasn't crowded at all, either. read more

Red Lobster - Salmon - Seafood Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

I think the previous time I was in a Red Lobster was in the early 2000s. Maybe even earlier. Now I know why: Red Lobster is to a seafood restaurant what a diner is to a steakhouse. You can get similar things at a cheaper price, but you pay for the difference in quality. The first thing I noticed when I opened the door to the SS Minnow [my big white van; it used to go on three hour tours to Columbus] was the enveloping smell: Fried In Butter. I'm sure this is appealing to some people, but my digestive system started squealing like David Henderson in the original "The Fly," screaming "HELP ME! HELP ME!" in a tiny, screeching voice. However, I was meeting friends so I wobbled on in. (A Weeble I am not.) We got there just before the mad dinner rush although it was still hopping. Our waitron was friendly, and except for an incident early in the meal where we could not get noticed despite waving frantically, was otherwise attentive. We all ordered the same dinner with variations for sides and salad. The salads came out fine, but all three dinner plates came out with only one of the two sides. The person who brought them out cheerfully went back for the missing sides, but I found it odd that all three were messed up, even if it wasn't a horrific mistake. The food itself was rather dull. Apparently the 'grilled' seafood had been basted in butter and came with some extra butter, just in case your arteries weren't clogged enough. My friends are low-carb-ers, and I thought, "ooh! more biscuits for me!" but, seriously, one was more than enough, because it tasted like... you guessed it. Butter. I mean, I like butter, but I feel like I ate about a stick of it at that one meal. We did commit the cardinal sin of 'camping out' for a half hour after we were finished, which pushed us past the Saturday Night Default Dinner Hour (8 pm). It was all my fault, because I would not shut up, but hopefully I left enough of a tip to make up for it. Surely there are better places to get (cooked) seafood around the area. I'll have to start hunting them down. read more

You MUST go and have Jessica as your server !!! I eat here when I come from Dallas to work and she is seriously the most friendly person . She knows what you want or need before you do . Food is standard Red Lobster fare . But the service here us always fantastic . Jessica however is exceptional and her smile and kindness is what a business traveler needs . Also she told me to try the stuffed lobster tail and man oh man was it good read more

We were seated as soon as we walked in. It was a Saturday evening and it was a good crowd so that was a surprise. Our server (Penny M.) was really nice and personable. On the downside, the cheddar bay biscuits were not ready after being seated for a bit. Our server however explained that the cook would have some ready as soon as they were done. The 1st batch was sadly under cooked, still very doughy. The second batch was baked to perfection though. Our meals were on point and cooked as they should be. No complaints except that I wanted the corn on the cob as 1 of my sides which they were out of. But overall, it was an enjoyable time. I was very satisfied with the food. read more

Believe it or not, I've never been to a Red Lobster restaurant. Today was my first time. I was excited to try these famous biscuits if nothing else. I went with a group after a networking meeting just as they opened. Our server was great, and very attentive. I ordered a house salad and lobster nachos. The salad was ok and pretty standard. One of my biggest gripes w/ restaurant salads and having to cut up my vegetables, including a single raw onion ring. It was no different today. The biscuits were everything I imagined. They were hot, fresh, and melted in my mouth. The lobster nachos were ok. The cheese was definitely a sauce, and not much flavor to it. I probably wouldn't order it again because it wasn't a memorable dish (appetizer, actually). Now I can say that I've been to Red Lobster and understand the love of their biscuits. read more

While traveling and working at U of M wanted to have some seafood. I've been to many locations in Northern America, this has to be the worst location! Service was poor, food was poor, apparently didn't clean under the tables from the previous customers and the place smelled like fish! read more

Red Lobster is a chain, yes it is. You do not expect it to serve you amazing food, but the value matches with the plate. Their biscuits are delicious, and those combo plates can give you a variety of seafood in one order. I got the daily fresh- half grilled salmon, it comes with salad, broccoli and rice pilaf, yeah, I enjoyed it. read more

Horrible service. It took 10 minutes to get a waiter, then over 15 minutes to get a glass of iced tea. I had fish and chips and the fish was very greasy. No refills on the tea offered nor was I checked on after receiving my food. They were skimpy and the salad dressing and on the tarter sauce. I had to ask for my check so I could leave. read more

I don't feel its right to leave a negative review here. especially since I can't eat shellfish, but I visited this restaurant and it was just sad. Service was slow, the restaurant was slow, the food was just blah, but the bill....the bill was big! They changed the house salad to just a caesar salad,( which is lettuce and parm cheese only) the lobster dip that my husband ordered appeared to be nothing like the ad that sits on your table. I hope this was just a bad day for the restaurant, it would be ashamed to know this is what you get on a regular, it's nothing like I remember. read more

We had a bad experience our first visit to this location. Service is just horrible. Lag service, bad mannered servers & hosts. We gave it another shot this afternoon and no one ever came to our table to greet us. We sat for 15 minutes, not a single server came to us. 3 or 4 walked by too! We'll go spend our $150 else where. read more

The food was delicious service was ok. Our server was nice but slow given it was not busy at all.

Paige is by far my favorite server at this location, but I also miss Alyssa! Both gave me such great service, and I always felt like I was a priority. I have to say I was really disappointed in the management of Beth that night, but the servers keep me coming back. :) read more

I went to this Red Lobster recently with my family to celebrate my birthday. I always loved going there and I fondly remember going there in my childhood for special events. This Red Lobster was just like the one I remember and the food there was tasty and delicious. The waitress was nice and gave us frequent refills and answered all our questions. I had a ceasar's salad and the lobster and shrimp spaghetti. The lobster was tender and had a wonderful texture and the sauce was magnificent. The salad wasn't bad either, save for the hard pieces of bread. The only problem with my meal was that it was a bit too big, although I ordered the smaller version. All in all, it was a pleasant trip to a restaurant with a nice atmosphere and delicious food, I recommend it to anyone that likes seafood. read more

We frequent this restaurant, or used to. Tonight's service and food was less than desirable. My parents and I dined here tonight, endless shrimp was never refilled, we left before it could come out. I ordered crab legs that were still frozen and my broccoli was raw AND cold. The glasses and flat wear were dirty. I hate to be the customer who complains, so I modestly decided that tonight was our last visit. read more

This is probably one of the worst meals I've ever had in my life. The food was SO slow to arrive at our table and was luke warm (but under a heat lamp since the plates were boiling hot which our waiter never mentioned). Very unhappy with the slowness of our meal and the fact we had to ask multiple times for more water at our table, something waiters should know automatically to do! And it wasn't good whatsoever, definitely not worth the expense of it! The salad was tasteless (I had made better at my house earlier that day) and I felt immediately nauseous after my meal without finishing it. Will never go here again! read more

This place was gross dirty slow. Coming in the front door the host had an attitude just to begin with. The food was robbery lukewarm fishy tasting and very very expensive! Save yourselves Don't go there! read more

How can you go wrong at Red Lobster, raw oysters, grilled salmon and a margarita. And lobster fest!

Let me start off by saying, the food, and drinks, along with the service was very good. I have posted photos. Unfortunately, if you don't want to be totally grossed out and lose your appetite, bring your own silverware! I also enclosed a photo of the fork with food still on it. But every single piece of silverware was disgusting. Seriously disgusting. It is astonishing that a place would take such care on creating a beautiful plate of food and give you disgusting silverware to eat with! There is no excuse on giving people dirty silverware. All of them that were wrapped in cloth napkins we unrolled a few every single one of them we're dirty. I took some of my water and used my napkin to wash my silverware so I could eat my food. Again the food was delightful service was delightful I find it extremely unfortunate that the company can not invest in a dishwasher that will actually clean their dishes! read more
