First I haven't been to a Red Lobster in over 10 years. My husband & I decided to give it a try since the new CEO took over and did a re-vamp. The service was top tier. Our waitress and the manager Julie were great. Very attentive and friendly. Now the food-For appetizers we got the crab queso and dragon shrimp. The queso was delicious! I honestly got full off of that and the biscuits. The dragon shrimp had a weird taste and I couldn't eat more than one. My main meal I tried one of the new offerings, the boil. I was underwhelmed. I'll stick to Fiery Crab for that lol. Overall my experience was decent. It's not Mike Anderson's so I wasn't expecting it to be. I'd probably come back to try additional menu items. read more

It's been about 10 years since I've dined at a Red Lobster restaurant, I arrived at Red Lobster around 5:00 PM for a quick dinner. Upon walking into the restaurant, I was immediately greeted by the friendly hostess and seated shortly after. The restaurant was very clean but it's aging with some of the booth seating ripped and torn. The server Mechelle approached the table within 5 - 7 minutes of being seated, introduced herself, and took my drink order which came out quickly. She also brought out a basket of cheddar bay biscuits that were served warm, soft, buttery, and had great cheddar flavor. The biscuits were very good. I could return just for the biscuits. I ordered the Lobster Lover's Duo with two lobster tails, a Maine tail and a Rock tail, both roasted to perfection served with melted butter for dipping, and I choose loaded mashed potatoes and bacon mac and cheese for my two sides. The portion sizes were appropriate and filling. The meal was surprisingly very good and exceeded expectations. The lobster tails were average in size, looked amazing and were perfectly cooked. The mashed potatoes had plenty of bacon, green onions, bacon, sour cream, and cheddar cheese. The mac and cheese were not dry but could have used a little more of the cream cheese sauce. Overall, it was a good dining experience. My only complaint would be the server could have been a little more attentive and smiled a little more. read more

I came in after doing a few things in the area. I waited at the host stand for almost 20 minutes after several people had walked right by me. I was seated, four separate people at four separate times asked for my drink order. I was brought a sweet iced tea 15 or so minutes after being seated. 45 minutes later my food order was taken and I was given a refill of my beverage. About 30 minutes later my food came. The restaurant was not even busy. I do not know what everyone was doing. read more

The main dishes were well prepared and flavorful but unfortunately the side dishes were awful. The rice was still crunchy and the baked potato was like a rock. My wife asked me to "cut it " for her but I left my chain saw at home. The bright moments of our evening were with Carlton, our server, who was very pleasant, personable, and responsive. He did everything possible to correct the problems with the preparation and more than deserved our generous tip that we left. Great job , Carlton read more

The service is horrible it takes about 30 minutes to get a drink fountain drink might I add. The food absolutely horrible, no seasoning and some even came out ice cold! read more

Disgusting, unseasoned, zero rum in my drink, food over cooked. Overpriced. Don't do it.

Great welcoming, food was little bit too salty especially the asparagus. The waitress forgot our Caesar salad. Other than that mostly it was just okay. Not the best restaurant but not the worst . Average read more

Very large parking lot. We were greeted and seated immediately when walking inside. The restaurant was very clean. My daughter and I shared a platter with lobster, crab and shrimp. The menu clearly states the shrimp are imported. They were small but cooked and seasoned okay. The lobster was good. Crab was overcooked and not edible. My husband has main lobster tail and garlic lobster tail. He said it was all cooked, seasoned and tasted well. We both had a side salad that was very nice but only had a very small amount of dressing. Cheddar biscuits were delicious as always. Our server was outstanding and did a great job. Overall typical restaurant chain food. Nothing fantastic but simply okay. read more

Visited Red Lobster on Friday to use a gift card someone gave me. On arrival no one was at the host stand, but after a few minutes someone came and seated us. Restaurant was pretty empty, especially to say it was a Friday evening. Our server was nice. We were pretty hungry and a little disappointed that it took about 10 minutes for the biscuits to come out. However, they were nice and fresh and we enjoyed it. I ordered the stuffed flounder and it was okay. It came with a sauce on top that was too cheesy to me. It tasted like it had cheddar cheese in it, but I believe a sauce with Parmesan cheese would have paired better. While it is fish, it tasted a little too fishy to me. My mother had the southwest bowl and she enjoyed it. The shrimp in her bowl were really good. read more

Bad. They are rationing everything. Shrimp scampi now tasteless, like boiled shrimp. No garlic in garlic scampi. No biscuits. Preset menues with no option to tailor your choice. read more

NEVER GOING BACK as soon as we walked in they never greeted us and said table for three as if we're not a group of six people and they gave my 5 year old brother an adult menu took them a minute to bring a kids menu took like 30 minutes for my appetizer to come and another like 30 minutes for everyone else's food to come except mine so I waited to see If the waitress would come back 30 minutes passed and she never came back out so I had to ask another waitress for my food by the time my food came everyone else's was done with there food my salmon was a little dry and crab carbonara that my sister had like no flavor and like no sauce. when the waitress did come back she was serving another table and we were charged for 3 lemonade's when we only ask for 2 and they also charged for fries that never came in total we spent 2 hours for mediocre food and bad service read more

The food here was disappointing. The biscuits are good but you can tell it is just cheese and a whole block of butter. We ordered a fish sandwich the fish was small and had a really fishy taste it made me think the McDonald fish sandwich would be a better option. I also got the lobster bisque it tasted like chemicals and felt like it was just microwaved and no lobster meat for the price of the bisque it definitely wasn't worth it. The chips and queso was alright and that's about it. Service was also alright. The person who is taking my order seemed like she was done with the job and didn't seem happy. I don't think I saw a smile at all that night. Overall I paid $80+ for food I can get for a much better deal somewhere else I hope the food quality will improve in the future and when that happen I would gladly like to try it again. read more

This review saddens me.. Visiting my hometown and was craving an Ultimate Feast.. So took a friend to Red Lobster by the mall. It did not start out well. We stood at hostess stand for 15 min. Made eye contact with a couple of servers & the bartender.. but never got seated.. finally a third server, Cheyanne , saw us and sat us. She was our server. The two bright spots for visit: cheese biscuits & service. My salad had wilted lettuce.. was ordinary at best. My friend ordered coconut shrimp and I ordered the ultimate feast. The lobster & snow crab were good not great.. the Walt's favorite shrimp (fried shrimp) were horrible. Tasted like it was old grease. My friend's coconut shrimp were even worse.. bad grease.. tough.. maybe over cooked.. we told service. She took it back.. manager came out.. asked if she could fry a new order.. so she said sure. New batch came out.. still bad. We never send food back.. we asked to close out. Receipt showed no discount. Very disappointed.. sad to see the quality has gone so bad. Thanks Cheyenne for the nice service. read more

Yesterday we went to celebrate my Mom's 79th birthday at her request and this was the worst food ever, we spent almost $400 with a party of 6 . The food was cold, no seasoning, and advertisement was nothing like our experience. Seafood was horrible. Mom's birthday was ruin but she chose this place due to television advertisements , never again. Also it was very humid in there ... so sad read more

If you want cold bland disgusting food that's extremely overpriced and has hairs in it and extremely slow service even though your the only customer than you've found it. I cannot stress how important it is you run from this place coming here is something you fill definitely regret. It is the most disappointing experience as although the food may look good it is definitely not. I ordered the seafood boil and it tasted as if it was frozen and microwaved, not even boiled. I even watched an employee clean a table with a filthy wet towel and soaked the table in even dirtier water read more

I wish I could remember the names of the staff BUT our hostess was so sweet and helpful. Our waitress was above the best. Food was as expected and came out quickly. All around all the staff were polite, kind, and professional. read more

I called the order in early & still sat there over 30 mins to be told the food was unavailable.... "there was a breakdown in communication " even after the young lady said my food would be up in 2 minutes. I drove from New Orleans to Baton Rouge & basically did it for nothing. A waste of my time (AND GAS!!) Lucky me.... read more

My name is Ada Shavers. My husband & I visited the Red Lobster on Blue Bonnet Blvd in Baton Rouge La. On 8/2/25. We normally go to Mike Anderson for our seafood, but I was very excited to try the new seafood boil. We arrived and were happy to see it wasn't crowded at all. We wait over 30 minutes to be seated, after we were told it would be a 10-minute wait, 3 people left because the wait time was so long. Once we were seated, we waited another 45 minutes for our food. when we finally got our food, it was horrible! it was warm not hot, the sausage that was supposed to be an ounce was 4 tiny slices absolutely not a ounce! We ordered more sausage, that came 25 minutes later. It had been microwaved to the point 3 pieces were black & not inedible! we asked for the manager. She came, apologized & said she would correct it. While she was gone I started a eat the lobster tail. It was RAW! By this point we were DONE!!!! We made the manager aware of this. She said she would take care of it, when we looked up the manager with purse on her arm & bags in hand was quietly slipping out of the door. We asked a waitress to catch her, she went and told her we wanted to know what she was going to do about our food? The waitress apologized to us & said she was going to get the other manager. Manager #2 comes, says she'll take $20 off our ticket. I very firmly said we would pay for our drinks, but not the meal! That's what we did. We tipped the waitress who was very stressed about the situation. After assuring her it was not her fault, we left. We will NEVER go to Red Lobster again, nor would I recommend anyone else to!!!! read more

I thought about it and because Red Lobster is one of my favorite eateries, (I love lobster), I gave it one last try. I'm glad I did. I came on the right day. There was a decent size crowd there but not too busy. It was quiet and conducive to enjoying a great meal. I was greeted and seated almost immediately with my guest upon arrival. Kia was tending to the bar as well as helping customers in her section. She was very friendly and attentive. She checked on us quite often. I was amazed and very appreciative of the attentiveness and detail that went in to making sure our dishes were prepared correctly. Management also came to check and make sure everything was good. We even had food left over and got to go plates with no problem. If my Red Lobster experience was like this every time, I'd be here every week! It did restore my faith in one of my favorite restaurants, and I'm glad I gave it another shot. read more

one of the mangers was really kind during the 4th the food was good uh yea Xxx

Red Lobster's food and menu are consistent across most southern states. This location was a 3/5 because the service and the wait time were bad. I went on a Wednesday night and it was slow. There was no host/hostess in sight. Sadly I waited a little over 10 minutes to be acknowledged. The food is quality and moderately priced. The ambiance is stale, as most Red Lobsters seem to be. read more

The most rude hostess person (young black man) I have ever encountered! Sat there 1 hour and was bullied by this person every time I asked how much longer. Ended up leaving. Never ever go there!! So pissed. One lady there said we couldn't sit in the bar to eat. When I told her that the hostess (young black man) said we could, she rolled her eyes at me and walked off!

You have to go into Red Lobster expecting what it is. You will be sorely disappointed if you don't. With that said, I went in tonight after work for endless shrimp. The food was just as expected and the server Laela was on point. She was very friendly and you can tell she enjoys her job. Thank you for the great service, Laela. read more

The food was good but I paid 31 dollars for the steak and lobster and the lobster was the size of 3 bites and the steak was small itself. The reason This is not a 1 star was because the service is really good and the strawberry lemonade was good and had refills. read more

The service ( or I should say lack of service) was NONEXISTENT!! My wife & I ordered drinks then 15 minutes later ordered appetizers. It took 30 minutes for the appetizers to come & the 2 drinks STILL hadn't arrived. Then a large party came in & we were told (even though we were there first) we would have to wait for our food until they served the large party. It took us 2 hrs to get our food. This place is HORRIBLE!!!!! NEVER AGAIN!!!!!! read more

The worst experience by far. We tried to order a togo, which is supposed to be a simple task and we thought that would be preferred over us dining in on New Years. We came in and the entire restaurant was empty, and no one was in the front. We saw one lady sitting in the waiting area and we asked her to help us put in a togo order and she asked us for the name. She ran to the back and came back saying "Theyre working on it." We told her we didnt get to put in the order yet and she just said oh and sat back down playing on her phone. We should have left at this point but instead asked her if we could put the order in? And she finally realized and took our order. She brought our order to the back kitchen and we waited 30 minutes and walked back in to grab the food. The restaurant was empty for 15 minutes and I had to flag down a bartender for help. She went to the back and asked for someone to come to the front and still no one came. After about 10 minutes I went and looked for a server and she told me there was no togo order put in. At this point it had been 45 minutes since we ordered our food and our time had been completely wasted. The bartender even saw me waiting still after she tried to find someone and still didnt attempt to look for someone else to help. Tip: dont open on New Years Day if your staff is incapable of handling even a single togo order! I have never been so upset over a service, and this is coming from someone who works as a server as well. read more

Two hours later we left Red Lobster. The two hours wasn't because we were enjoying ourselves. Two hours because the service was that slow. I'm honestly surprised this place is still opened. I should've known there would be an issue after arriving and being seated next to a table that had not been cleaned. The entire time that we were there no one came and cleaned the table. Never again read more

Notes: 1) Been at this location once 2) Been to other Red Lobsters Pros: 1) Amazing biscuits Cons: 1) Service was terrible 2) Food was bad Full Review: My parents and I went to a Red Lobster at a different location and had a wonderful time. So we decided to go to the local Red Lobster and see if we can get the same experience. This time, we waited a few minutes to even talk to the hostess once we came in. The restaurant was open for awhile and was in the middle of the lunch hour. Once the hostess got our names, she went to talk to one of the waitresses to walk us to our table. This didn't last too long and we were seated quickly. The waitress came and gave us our menus and took our drink orders, but she seemed distant and not in a good mood. Once we got our orders in, we waited almost 1 hour and 30 minutes to be served our food. Good thing we had the biscuits to help us through it. The waitress did not refill it often; however, we were able to make it last and got 2 refills within that time. Our waitress did not come and check on us often. We never got our waters refilled, and we had to ask busboys and other servers for refills of the biscuits. Once we did get our orders, the waitress put them all down on the table and did not even put it in front of the right person. We had to switch it around. Additionally, the waitress got one of our orders wrong. We told our waitress and not much was done about it. The only saving grace that this restaurant had was the taste of some of the food. The biscuits were creamy, flakey, and warm. The maple glazed chicken with grilled shrimp skewers were tasty. The chicken had a nice maple glaze that did not over power it with sweetness and did a good job in adding flavor to the dish. The grilled shrimp skewers were seasoned pretty well. The petite lobster and shrimp was decent. The shrimp was bland. The lobster had some shells in it. The bread did have a nice sweetness to it which was good. The presentation for all dishes were nice. The catfish dish that we had was disgusting. It had a strong game-y taste, the kind that indicated that the fish was not fresh. The good parts of this dish was the mashed potatoes and fries which were simple enough to not mess up. Due to the bad service, I took off 2 stars. For my time and mood during and after the experience, I took off 1 star as it made me a little frustrated. The restaurant did deserve the 1 star as some of its food was good. However, the other star taken off was due to the poor taste of the rest of the food. read more
