I want to give this place such a good review but I can't today. Came in for lunch. Every other time we have dined here, service has always been great. Unfortunately today wasn't the case. We were greeted by the bartender, Ali. She was also our server today. The manger seated us and got us sat. We shared a sweet moment about Hello Kitty. I thought it was great of her to take her time to chat with us. Ali got our biscuits out to us and took our drink orders. We knew what we wanted since we checked out the online menu. They started some fabulous daily specials! My husband and I both ordered the Monday special. The Monday special is lobster and shrimp scampi for 20 bucks! Helll ya! We started our meal with a ceaser salad and a cup of clam chowder. Both were great! The soup was hot and tasty! The salad was fresh and nicely dressed, topped with pieces of parm cheese. Our meals came out shortly. Talk about a great lunch! You get 14 pieces of shrimp scampi and a decent sized lobster tail. The shrimp was buttery and salty. The lobster was cooked perfectly! Add some butter and lemon to that bite and it was fantastic! 20 bucks for a lobster/shrimp lunch is great. The only crappy part of this dining experience was the service. I feel like Ali was just there to do her job, no interaction besides "what brings you in today". I noticed she had my husband's soup and salad in her hands. She decided to stop and converse with her co workers at the computers for a minute. I don't mind you kicking it with your co workers but don't be talking over my husband's food. I think it's gross to potentially have your spit on my husband's food. She checked up on us a couple times. Gave us our bill and didn't offer us a box until we were all cashed out. She had me cashed out before I was even asked if I wanted a box. Makes you feel like she was more concerned about the tip than making sure we were taken care of. She didn't leave a good taste in my mouth. I look forward coming to Red Lobster in the future since they have come out with these dope daily specials. Hopefully service in the future will be better than today's visit. read more

This place is gross. We waited 15 minutes to be greeted while their hostesses sat on their phones pretending to wrap silverware. We were a party of 2 and it took 2 hours to get out of there. They served us non deveined shrimp with hair on the plates. We notified our server and she replied "sorry". We then talked to the manager and he said " I'm sorry a non deveined shrimp ruined your meal". We hit up corporate who never replied. They obviously don't care about cleanliness or their customers so we will never be going back to red lobster again. Stay away unless you want to get sick from there dirty poop shrimp. read more

Tried the new seafood boil that Red Lobster put out and it was decently a 7/10. They have two types of butter -Cajun or Garlic butter. Both have their own taste. Seafood was fresh and absolutely delicious. If you want more of a flavor, definitely Cajun, although I think they could make it taste more umami. I like garlic so I got that one instead but I did request to have a side of the Cajun as a dipping sauce. Crab queso was amazing. Only feedback is possibly making the sauces more flavorful, but that's my personal preference. We had a great waitress, Alexis and the space was warm and decorated well. read more

My drink had a hair in it, I politely asked for a new drink but put my straw wrap inside the drink so I would know if it was replaced. He only pulled the hair out and gave me the same drink back. After this I didn't feel comfortable getting food because my server already didn't have enough respect to replace my drink and I was scared of what he would do to my food. Nick was my server. read more

Red Lobster used to be one of those celebration restaurants that people looked forward to going to. Sadly they have become the Burger King of seafood, frozen, dry, overcooked blah. Went last night and the service was non-existent, the restaurant was dirty, and it took 20 minutes to sit us in a restaurant less than 1/3 full. read more

We love how family-friendly this restaurant is! The broil was amazing -- especially the new Old Bay flavor, which we absolutely loved. The service was great, and coming in right when they open is always such a fun experience. Our little one had a blast seeing the lobsters and was so excited. The staff was incredibly attentive and went out of their way to make our child feel included and special. As always, the stuffed mushrooms and lobster flatbread were delicious -- consistent favorites that never disappoint. read more

The worst food the restaurant was dirty the men's restroom one of the sinks did not work at all.Years ago I have eaten at red lobster but thing have really gone down hill reminds me of a place that is ready to close up.Never again read more

I went with my family of four and our server Noelie was absolutely amazing with the kids, the food was great. The kids menu was a little sparse with options, but overall we had a great time. The hosts were very welcoming as well, the red haired girl who sat us was very conversational. read more

I'm giving them 4 stars ONLY Because our WAITRESS who works the bar she was AMAZING! Everything was delicious minus this baby crab cluster my husband got this should not have been served at all no taste absolutely gross. ALSO crappy to see watching a waiter with the long hair with a goatee do an the "asian bow" because he got 2 large tables that's happen to be the Asian decent to the Manager read more

Annually we go to the Boise Red Lobster, and this year was no different. We ordered the Lobsterfest Duo at $45 a plate. The service was quick and professional. When I received my order, there was a distinct road kill odor. Now there is road kill odor that happened an hour ago then there is road kill odor that happened last week in 90 degree temperatures. The odor was definitely last weeks road kill. But like a fool, I elected to eat it anyway. You needed a chainsaw to get the grilled split Maine lobster tails wrapped around fresh sea scallops out of the shell and there was very little lobster to enjoy. We paid the $125.00 bill and left. About 3 hours later the food poisoning kicked in and for the next serval days vomiting and diarrhea was the result of this horrible meal. I will never eat at a Red Lobster again even if it was free! read more

My brother & I went to Red Lobster for dinner on 02-13-2026. Our server was Merissa (I apologize if I have misspelled her name), & it was her first day working as a server. We thought Merissa did a wonderful job! She was pleasant, helpful, attentive, & thorough. Although there was a mixup in our food order, it was not Merissa's fault. She took notes when we ordered, so we know she put in the correct order for our food. When we pointed out the mistake, she immediately took steps to get it corrected. Merissa was very attentive. The restaurant was very busy, so it would have been easy for her to forget about checking on us, but she did not forget. She made it a point to check with us several times to see if we needed anything. We were extremely pleased with Merissa & thought she did an excellent job of serving us! read more

The food is fine. Pricing seems high vs. portion size but it's seafood so it's expensive no matter what. Neither the hostess nor the waiter smiled at any point during dinner. My waiter was mid. It felt like even though my table asked for nothing other than an extra box that we were an annoyance. Dude literally walked off twice without letting me fully respond to "need anything" type questions. We didn't end up needing anything but maybe give everyone at the table a chance to actually answer before making it clear other tables are more important to you. The space was clean. Not uncomfortable. A bit too dark and not warm or welcoming but not bad either. Overall it was fine. The Interaction with staff was the most disappointing. read more

Today at 3:00 P.M. this afternoon my wife and I decided to treat ourselves for Valentines Day at the Red lobster on Milwaukee Street in Boise. We have had between 15-20 good meals at this location. We walked in and was asked if we had a reservation. In the last 15 years from daytime to, dinner time we never had to have a reservation. The restaurant was between the lunch and dinner rush with about 30% of the tables in use. We were told because it was Valentines Day it was Reservations only. We were told if we wanted to eat there all we had to do was log in to their APP and make a reservation. If you make your reservation this way, we should have a table for you in about 40 minutes. In a restaurant with about 60% of the tables open, what could be changing in 45 minutes for an open table? We have on a few busy nights had to wait 10-15 minutes. I will answer the question I just asked. "Being treated this way, Your food is good but not that great." Your employee was only doing her job, as you told her to do it. This poor service falls directly on the Manager, the Owner, and the Head of this company. This is the LAST time we walked out your doors! Kelly and Anna C. read more

Came to red lobster tonight, expecting a casual dine in, but was amazed by our server Sami, so attentive to our needs, super great and fun personality, honestly made our night. Only reason i am Not rating five stars was because the bartender was extremely slow, but samis service more than made up for the wait. Our food was excellent as well. read more

Sometime Red Lobster just hits the spot. Enjoyed the lobster dip, trout and unlimited shrimp meals. And of course the famous cheddar biscuits! The lobster dip has become one of my favorites. Very flavorful with big chunks of lobster. The rainbow trout reminds me of my childhood as I can't get it where I live. Cooked just right. The unlimited shrimp was excellent. Love the shrimp scampi! read more

I went into red lobster, and I sat at the bar in order to get fast service. I was the only person sitting at the bar. The bartender had her back to me the entire time at the end of the bar.. After 15-20 minutes I got up and left letting the hostess know they need to work on service. I refuse to beg for somebody to take my order. read more

There are no Seafood boils on the menu as advertised on tv. It is on the takeout menu but not on the sit down restaurant menu.

A good friend of ours is a big Red Lobster fan so we get to go with them quite often to this place. All the times I've been here, this is the first time I've discovered this genius dish, filled with protein and good mix of greens, a super healthy bowl, will definitely try again next time. read more

All went well. Server in bar area always incredible. Always checking, following up and staying on top of needs!

Don't order carryout from this Red Lobster. The last two orders have been a pain...took twice as long as promised for the most recent one. Pulled up curbside with little kids in the car. I eventually had to go inside to inquire after no one responded to the app check in. Employees were hanging out, sort of clueless. It was a Sunday evening. Not particularly busy. Both orders were also missing something, despite having a receipt with a checklist marked off. With one, it was the toppings for the baked potato. Annoying. With the other, the dessert was missing. I called back to get a refund/gift card on the missing dessert. The manager interrogated me relentlessly to ensure I wasn't trying to scam them out of a dessert, making comments like, I was there, I'm pretty sure they put the cake in your bag. Seriously? Sorry, Mrs. FBI Agent by day, Red Lobster Manager by night, it was a $100 order. I didn't care about the missing dessert, except on principle. But yes, the cake was really missing. read more

Placed a Togo order with uber eats and the menu doesn't offer an option to add Cajun butter to your order. When i called to ask for butter the manager told me they wouldn't add it because it's an up charge which i said was fine but they can't add it to the uber eats order. But when there isn't an option for us to add it on ourselves then how are you suppose to order it and pay for it. Manager was rude and not helpful. You would think a $100 uber eats order they would include butter read more

It has been a while since I been to Red lobster I brought my 12 year old for dinner. The server was very helpful with the menu. He helped my daughter choose the right plate for her. It was a good experience. read more

Don't go! Worst place in town. 2 time in a row, had horrible service, took forever and the food was cold.

We always have a wonderful meal and service! You can count on great quality and taste from fish, shrimp, crab or steak! Our servers are always pleasant and attentive. I like the seating and decor, very cozy. read more

Paint by numbers experience. Food is good, but nothing overly unique. Lots of frozen fried foods, lots of sugary sauces, lots of butter. Tasty but makes you feel lot it afterwards. Location is clean. Service is good, the new wave of pleasant yet bored. Value is bad. $100 post gratuity for family of four (two kids) without alcohol is regrettable. read more

Awesome!!! Never had a bad meal! Can't go wrong with shrimp and lobster. Service was prompt and polite. Serving was large enough to bring home for another meal. read more

In a world of seemingly terrible customer service, Jarom B has made me think otherwise. He brings a Jack sparrow look with a personalized butler feel. Can't say enough good things about the great experience, my little boy and I appreciate it Jarom!! read more

Food is good, however the host was upset about a waiter not telling her about some seating issue. she didn't hesitate to multiple profanities and quite audibly at that.. then she proceeded to go over to the host stand slam down menus. When the manager came out from her office, the host came back over and repeated herself again and said how she hates everyone here and "can't wait to get the hell out of this damn restaurant" Having worked in the service industry, I understand the drama of the work place... but take it to the kitchen or outside. Very unprofessional behavior on the hosts part. The rest of the staff was very professional and no other issues to add. read more

Our server was wonderful. Her name was Sonya. She was polite and checked in just the right amount. The food was delicious and timing was great. Covid precautions were taken , but not overly forced. The were all polite in the implementation. read more

We had lunch during the lunch rush today. We both ordered the Thursday special of lobster and shrimp. The beverages and biscuits were delivered quickly, cold and warm as appropriate. Our food was delivered in a timely manner, hot and as ordered. Cassandra checked on us several times and met all our requests in a friendly efficient manner. The food was wonderful and we'll be back soon. read more

I had been looking forward to trying this franchise location and was not disappointed. We dined during a weekday lunch period. My wife chose shrimp scampi, which was tasty but the shrimp was on the smaller size scale. I had the broiled flounder which was light and delicious. The mashed potatoes were delicious as prepared but if loaded up with butter, cheese, and chives became a fatty mess. The broccoli was al dente and tasty and the Caesar salad seasoned just right with dressing and topped with delicious grated cheese. The biscuits lived up to their reputation and required self-discipline to eat in moderation. The Argentinian shrimp with orzo rice were a bit bland but still enjoyable. The iced tea was prepared fresh and not overbrewed. Service was excellent with a thorough knowledge of the menu and timely attentiveness. The kitchen was a tad slow with the entrees especially since the restaurant was fairly empty. But if you want to enjoy seafood prepared well I recommend this franchise. read more
