Overall 5 stars. Table for 2 at lunch hour. [ Appetizer ] LOBSTER, CRAB AND SEAFOOD STUFFED MUSHROOM: This is the best tasting appetizer I have ever tried! The lobster, crab, seafood that is stuffed into the mushroom with Monterey Jack cheese is superb! I asked for the best appetizer and our waiter Christine F. suggested this! We were so amazed at the rich taste of seafood with the juicy mushroom that we were blown away! You have to try this!! Price: $9.29 (320 cal) [ Signature Combination ] WOOD-GRILLED LOBSTER, SHRIMP AND SCALLOPS: Wow! I love this combination! The lobster was really good! Really easy to eat from and so thick and juicy too! There was about 9 shrimps and 4 scallops. You get to choose two side menus. The food wasn't too salty and really full of each flavor! I really enjoyed this! Price: $26.99 (390 cal) [ 4-Course Feast for $16.99 ] I wanted to try a lot of their menus at a affordable price and I suggest this to be a great choice to do so! CHEDDAR BAY BISCUITS: These are amazing! They come out nice and warm. It has a special taste of butter/garlic in it. It's overall really soft to eat on. It was something good to keep my hunger from starving cause they give them to you right away. They are unlimited with order of the 4-Course Feast for $16.99. NEW ENGLAND CLAM CHOWDER SOUP: A really good soup to start off the meal. The texture was really rich and thick. There was a lot to chew from the pieces inside. Nice way to start enjoying! (200 cal) FRESH GARDEN SALAD: I was having really heavy food that I thought the fresh salad would be nice. Nothing too special about the salad. (70 cal) SHRIMP AND SCALLOPS ALFREDO with fresh tomatoes PASTA: Wow! This was one creamy pasta! Full of small shrimps and small pieces of scallops! The taste was amazing! The size of the pasta isn't that big and I liked that. I had too much already! I don't have a big stomach. I like to taste my food not over eat it by stuffing myself. Some people might find the entree too small for decent size meal. (790 cal) TRIPLE-CHOCOLATE BROWNIE a la Mode DESSERT: This came with vanilla ice-cream on top! One of my favorites! The brownie was really rich! I do love the soft thick texture of a warm brownie with a nice cold vanilla ice-cream! This is a nice ending touch of the whole meal! (400 cal) [ Drink ] BAHAMA MAMA: I ordered this without the alcohol. It was called a "Virgin Bahama Mama" like a smoothie, but with a really rich taste of tropical fruits. I liked it! Price: $4.69 (370 cal) SAM ADAMS DRAFT BEER: My hubby ordered this in 20oz. I don't like this taste of beer, but my hubby fell in love with the draft beer! He found it to be really fresh and seize his day. [ Waiter ] CHRISTINA F.: She was really sweet and very helpful. Every time she passed our seats, she would tell us the current situation of our order or just check up on us. Like if the menu we ordered was going to come out soon or if we were enjoying our food. Also kept making sure we had everything we wanted. She was always there for us that we didn't feel the discomfort in eating through out the whole time we were there. We even talked about her being so professional and complimented on that. We were so satisfied with our time there and the service was so good that we tipped 25%. Normally we only tip about 15~18% to most places we go. read more

So I noticed that everyone who leaves a YELP review that's negative, Red Lobster sends them to their website to email them directly. I tried to do that several times with this message, and just got an error message in response. So when Red Lobster puts that auto-generated message below this review, - no, trying to contact them by their email form doesn't work. I say that because I try at first to not make my bad experience public. I try to let the proprietor know first, and see if they'd like to remedy the situation before I write the the review. So I went to the Brea location on 6/18/20 around 7:30pm. Me and my two children. Do you remember those old commercials from the 80's and 90's from Red Lobster? Where it shows the family smiling as the smiling server delivers steaming plates brimming with succulent seafood? Do you remember how Red Lobster used to make every outing to their location feel like a special event? Well I do, and as well they should because Red Lobster is expensive. Going out for lobster and steak as a combo plate is expensive - it's $25 a plate, and when you pay that much, you want to feel welcomed and important - it's an expensive outing so yes, it should feel like an event. The staff should greet and serve you with a bit more enthusiasm than the crew at the Mcdonald's Drive IN. Sadly, that isn't the case at the Brea location. The staff doesn't make eye contact at all, they mumble behind their required face masks (look I know that's got to be awkward for them, but they could still make eye contact and articulate so you could understand them behind the mask) Look, I'm not looking to be treated like royalty, far from it. But seriously, not one person, from the host to the waitress made eye contact when we entered. Here's how my experience went: As I enter I smile and say, "Hi! Table for three please?" (There was no wait.) Hostess mutters behind her mask. Me: "What?" Mutters again. "Sorry, I couldn't understand you." Hostess huffs a sigh and deliberately rolls her eyes in my direction. Mutters again. "Sorry, but I can't understand you." Hostess pulls her mask forward with two fingers and says "Kids menu?" "Yes, please!" I smile, and hostess turns her back, indicating us to follow her. My son stops by the lobster tanks to stare at it in appreciation. I sit down while my kids look at the lobster tank. Hostess lays three menus on the table and says "They'll be right with you," as she walks away. I wait. Five minutes pass. My table is set right up against the menu-item-entering stand - the touchscreen stand in the dining area and I can hear someone tapping the screen behind me. A young blond woman in a mask. Without saying anything, after a full seven minutes by my watch, she leans across my table to get the credit card receipt from the last party. The table is pretty sticky, by the way. My kids come back from the lobster tank. The hostess walks by and I ask, "Excuse me, but it's been about seven minutes. Do you know who our server is?" Still without making eye contact, the eye-rolling hostess says "Not a problem," and walks away. Three minutes later the server arrives, the same blonde one who leaned across the table for her receipt, saying nothing. She mutters behind the mask but I'm tired of asking them to articulate. I think I hear the word "drinks." So we give her our full order and the service just continued to go down hill. We wanted a bread refill, but the waitress ignored us until dropping off our food. Eventually I just took my empty basket towards the kitchen until I could intercept someone. It was the same no-eye-contact hostess. She took the basket and clipped, "Not a problem." Food was okay. We both ordered lobsters - my eldest son and I. But the waitress allowed all our plates to stack up on the table, never clearing them, never came back to offer refills. Like the bread, I had to go stand up and intercept someone. Look...I get it. It was a Wednesday night. Servers are bummed they have to wear masks. You're only at half capacity because every other table must be vacant. I understand that the staff, especially servers, get lethargic on slow nights because they know they won't make much money. The lights are dim in the restaurant, but not for ambiance. It seems like there was recently construction. Still...your staff at this Brea location could go out of their way to make people feel welcome, despite the setbacks. And they really don't. Unless this situation is remedied, I can't see myself ever going back to this Brea location - the only Red Lobster I know of in Orange County. And I had been going to this place off and one for literally the past twenty years. I certainly would recommend to everyone I know that unless you want to feel dismissed and disregarded by a staff who won't even make eye contact with you, avoid Red Lobster. So sad. Red Lobster should feel like an event. It costs too much money for such sub-par service. RS read more

KILL ME NOW !!!!! Im telling you this place is the 99 cents store of Seafood!!!!! Wait im sure food at the 99 cent store is better LOL. Before you ask, WTF were you thinking, coming here. Blame my sister that just turned 18 ( celebrating her bday there, what was she thinking!!!!) Her taste is still like a 7 year old. Were at a " Seafood spot" but yet she orders Chicken tenders and mozzarella sticks!! She wanted this place , because of the biscuits LOL I told her ass next time get those things to go and at least go to the Yardhouse for a proper Bday celebration!!!!!!! Ok so im embarassed to even be in this spot, no lie. I can't believe people waited an hour and some change to eat here. I rather go to the Olive garden a few feet away! The service is on point I'll give them a 5 on that, the waitress was a sweety pie, even though my BF confused the hell out of her and made her get what he ordered knowing it would take forever and we'd be done while he just got his shit LOL. Ok so we ordered crab and lobster stuffed mushrooms, FAIL. I just had Ruth Chris's version of this the week before so you know what I mean *wink* The clam chowder, didn't taste to fresh, like clams were on the verge of expiring :( even crackers couldn't mask it. The caesar salad was actually bomb. I ordered the Shrimp alfredo, pretty basic, nothing to write home about. My mom , her bf and my sister, cleaned their plates LOL Now to my poor boyfriends meal. He first wanted one thing BUT supposedly told the waitress, I want this instead, well it threw her off and she brought the first choice he thought he wanted, he looked at her crazy and said thats not what I wanted, I just wish he sucked it up and kept it, because what he ordered came out 20 minutes later and it was not cool! He ordered the lobster fest, 2 types of lobster tails and lobster linguini. I don't remember what kind of tails but the smaller one ,was salty as "F" the bigger one was so rubbery YUCK! I figured the pasta was like mine, so it was no need to try it. Im sorry but I can't go from Mastros Ocean club on a basis, to this GARBAGE, I should have walked in with a paper bag over my head and poked holes in the mouth area, to eat this boo boo, because I was embarassed ! read more

Came here for New Year's Eve with a couple friends. We decided to eat at the bar since we didn't feel like waiting for a table. We were helped immediately which was nice. They have a good variety of drinks to choose from so that's a plus. The bread is just as amazing as I remember. But this is probably the best thing about this place. I ordered a pasta that was supposed to have crab in it and it wasn't all that great. It lacked flavor and the crab was shredded. I mean realllly shredded. I guess this is meant so that it looks like there's more crab in it than there really is. I wouldn't order this again. If I could've actually tasted the crab then maybe I would have enjoyed this dish more. This place has never been my first choice and now I remember why. If you do find yourself here, you'll get great service and there's usually a good amount of parking available. Also, stock up on bread. read more

Wonderful time reconnecting with friends for lunch at Red Lobster, yesterday 6/9/22. Great food. Great ambience. No reservation due to covid but they were able to seat us all in 2 tables. Julia was amazing taking care of all our orders and needs all by herself. She also brought me a complimentary birthday ice cream. Thank you Julia for making my birthday-special! read more

I think the food and the service are the best ever at Red Lobster Brea. The prices are very reasonable as well. Fast service! Nolen, our server is wonderful. He's very attentive, and always with a smile. The food is super good. We added this to our weekly dinner rotation. read more

It has been a long time since visiting Red Lobster in Brea. Honestly, I went to spend some gift cards I had received some time ago. I ordered the hand breaded calamari and parrot isle jumbo coconut shrimp. I used the gift cards and the order was for take out. As I waited for my order to be ready I wanted a beer from the bar. The staff was having trouble processing one of my gift cards and the manager Ileen attempted to process the gift card. She was having problems also processing my gift card. The entire staff was very friendly and in the end the gift cards worked for my food and I was very satisfied with the service and friendliness I received from the staff. Ileen was a great manager and showed great customer service. The food was hot and exactly what I was looking for in my meal. I will return soon as I was extremely pleased with the staff and the customer service I received. Keep up the great work Red Lobster Brea! read more

I have never truly experienced a A+ service like what I received today,hands down best lobster place in all OC,our server Peter C introduced him self and was checking on us every 5min,he got us the appetizers then entree all with perfect timing! I would give 10 stars Great job Peter thank you so much ;) You are a true value to this business. read more

Red Lobster - Seafood Near Me - Brea, California

It's amazing to me that I've never been to Red Lobster in all my years of existence, but it's just not one of those chain restaurants that really ever caught my eye. Recently, my fiance received a gift card here, so we decided to check it out. Man, it was pretty happening for a Friday night - I guess a lot of people come here for date nights or family nights! Although it looked super crowded, we actually didn't have to wait too long. The staff did a great job of arranging seating, cleaning up tables quickly, and communicating to each other, which helped people to get seated super efficiently. We each ordered the $16.99 four-course special, which turned out to be a lot of food! The clam chowder was really thick and too creamy for my taste, but the spicy chicken tortilla soup was delicious! The garden salads were just typical, although they were very generous in portion size. I ordered the wood-fired tilapia for my entree, which even came with an additional side and was really tasty, while still being relatively healthy. My fiance had the shrimp and scallop alfredo pasta, which was delish...but again, too creamy for my taste. Nonetheless, he thought it was tasty! For dessert, I ordered the key lime pie. It was pretty tart and a bit too creamy for my liking, but it was still decent. I really enjoyed the brownie a la mode, which was just perfect in every way. The right balance of warm, fudgy brownie with chocolate chips against a cool helping of vanilla ice cream...yum! I can't forget to mention their BOMB cheddar and chive biscuits, which they constantly refill. They're served piping hot and couldn't be anymore delicious! Then again, I'm a huge bread and carb fan...so that's probably why I was fawning all over these :) The ambiance of this place is pretty nice. It's Cape Cod style and very well-kept, which is a nice change from some of the hole-in-the-wall places I'm used to eating at, although they sure do serve delicious food at those! They also have live lobsters at the front of the restaurant, which could be entertaining for any kids. But really, I must compliment the service here! It's beyond phenomenal. Throughout the evening, we had several different waiters and waitresses stop by to ask us how our food was, if we needed anything else, etc. They were very accommodating and even offered to give us extra ice cream for our dessert if we wanted it. I can't believe I'm giving a chain restaurant such huge props, but seriously...this place deserves it! Hats off to the staff here :) I forgot to mention that they are also super accommodating to people who have any allergies, so don't be afraid to ask about anything on their menu! Woot, Red Lobster...who knew?! read more

My mom wanted to have lunch here today because we were in the area. Yvonne was our sever and SHE WAS AWESOME!! we loved her personality! She makes you feel very welcomed and she seemed to bring us things before we asked for them. Not very many servers like her anymore and it's a great change! Thank you Yvonne for being you! Great attitude! read more

Red lobster is pretty much your basic seafood restaurant with fish, crab, shrimp, and lobster. While I have never ordered lobster here I have ordered many other things. On my most recent visit I got the endless shrimp in which you have your choice of any of the 6 or 7 types of shrimp they cook in unlimited amounts. At under $20 for all this shrimp you cannot go wrong. Add onto the fact that you can have as much of their cheddar bay biscuits as you want and you will be more than satisfied. For me the biscuits alone are enough to warrant a visit to any red lobster. read more

First time at this location; 2nd time trying this chain. We were treated to a lovely dinner by the BIL. Five stars to our most gracious hosts. We had the lobster bake which arrived without the lobsters. Kitchen forgot the piece de resistance? Unheard of. Portions were much smaller than pictured and not ideal for sharing. Otherwise good food; quick seating; and friendly, efficient service. read more

Red Lobster - Bay Harbor Lobster Bake w invisible lobsters. Otherwise very nice. - Seafood Near Me - Brea, California

We visited the restaurant on 6/1/23. The food was so so but the service was terrible. One server was serving 8-10 tables at a time during the dinner time and we had to wait awhile to get the server's attention each time. We were disappointed at Red Lobster in Brea and they need to have a better service. read more

The restaurant is almost empty, the hostesses (4) are having a conversation and the manager I guess is walking around while the people are waiting to be seated. 15 to 20 minutes after the host decided to sit the couple that had just arrived. They don't take names, instead they rely on memory of who came in first. Inefficient to say the least. read more

Food was alright. Got the tortilla chips and seafood dip. Chips were wayyyyy over salted and some undercooked. Used the biscuits for the dip and it was much better. The waiter was nice and friendly. Why the lack of stars? The burly female manager was an unfriendly bulldog who was extremely rude. She's busy mad dogging customers instead of being welcoming. And for that it's just two stars for me. read more

This is your standard Red Lobster, nothing new to add as far as taste. If your new to it, biscuits are delicious, seafood is fresh and full of flavor and I recommend almost everything on the menu. I usually order a Lobster or Shrimp Pasta but I have noticed the the portions have shrank significantly in the past 10 years. They continue to get smaller. However the taste is still the same, Amazing! I removed stars for the following reasons: 1. They Lost our Birthday Cake for 15 Minutes 2. They Gave me an Outdated Menu so I had to Select from a New One 3. Waitress Left us Unattended for Long Periods of Time. 4. Food Was Salty Good - Great Mixed Drinks - Very Clean (Inside/Out) - Perfect Lighting - Friendly Staff - Delicious Food Bad - Outdated Menus - No Wi-Fi - Small Soup Portions - Biscuits Undercooked - Small Portions Ugly - Bottom Line: we spent plenty of cash (we were a large party) and were dealt a 4 and a 8 at an establishment who should at a minimum give us Two Pairs read more

The food was delicious and very filling. It was my first time going and I did not know what to get. I decided to get the seaside shrimp trio and it was a fantastic take on shrimp in three ways. Tasting shrimp in fried, boiled, and pasta was very filling. Everything was fantastic but lost a star because the server seemed to be slow to get to us while other tables were helped. However, if price is not an issue, this is a good place for a night out with seafood or even lunch. read more

Best server we have ever had here tonight (been coming for ten years)! Jillian made our night, and we appreciate her. She personally gets five stars - and the restaurant 4. Besides being a good server she answered our questions, eXplained the menu well and helped us all choose something different that we enjoyed. One downside is the app doesn't give you much time to redeem a reward. Two and a half weeks maybe? We have earned three rewards so far and haven't been back fast enough to use any of them, sad to say. So we don't feel rewarded at all, to be honest. My opinion, only, but I feel you should give people at the least - a montth. read more

Courtney is an excellent server! No complaints. I took my time ordering and Courtney was patient and accommodating; never acting tense or rushed like most servers in busy restaurants. She kindly managed all our special requests. That made all the difference in our special mother/daughter night out. 5 stars thanks to Courtney! Biscuits are the best part of the meal! I just got around to taking the survey printed on the receipt, but unfortunately I missed the deadline by 3 hours! bummer :-( if only the survey time limit was longer than 7 days, I would have left this glowing review there, too and been able to enter the contest. read more

Just when you think the food can't get worse it does. We ordered delivery and paid a ridiculous amount of money for what has to be the worst food I've ever had but my daughter remembers going to Red Lobster when she was little so we thought we'd give it one more try. Since everyone is sequestered due to the Coronavirus we thought it would lift everyone's spirits. We got the Seafarer's Feast ($33.99). The lobster and scallops were decimated and way over cooked. The shrimp was just ok. We also ordered 2 side dishes: Walt's Favorite Shrimp (6.99) and they were ok but there weren't more than 5 or 6. The second side dish was the Wood-grilled Sea Scallops. They were inedible with a suspicious taste like they'd gone bad. They were $8.49 for 3 tiny scallops hidden in a bunch of dry rice. The scallops themselves were dry and chewy and looked like someone used them to wipe down the grill. The worst part is they had a strange taste so we had to throw them out. I'm hoping I didn't get food poisoning from the one I did eat but we'll see. Finally, we ordered the clam chowder. It too was horrible. Mostly thick floury cream with a few clams and barely any potatoes or vegetables. The cream seemed like it had separated so the soup was nasty to look at. The only tasty part of the meal were the biscuits we ordered on the side. And thank goodness we did or we would have all gone hungry. But there's a mix for these in the grocery store so you can just make your own. The last time we ate in the restaurant we noticed everything on the menu was fried which made it all taste the same. We had crab with our meal and it was hollow - literally empty shells. I don't know about other locations but the Brea Red Lobster has gotten so bad that I would not ever eat at another location again either. It should be on Kitchen Nightmares. So disappointed we wasted over $80. read more

Red Lobster has never disappointed me, food was absolutely delicious with some minor hiccups. However, a great date night ended kind of abruptly when our waiter (Shelton M) stops us from leaving the restaurant to ask if we did and can leave him a tip. I'm sorry Mr. Shelton but you don't know our lives or our story. We could've worked so hard and saved our last penny's, nickel's and dimes to afford a nice meal at a nice restaurant, just to essentially be shamed for not having enough to leave a tip. That wasn't okay. I know times are hard but WE ALL are trying our best to enjoy and get by. read more

What a joke. Went to Red Lobster with the in-laws (I wouldn't normally visit a chain like this) and was pretty unimpressed by the menu options. I could believe how much tilapia was on the menu and the price they were charging was not cool. Anyway, my hubby got a steak (was actually one of the more affordable options) and I just order a lobster tail because we had ordered some appetizers. Both the steak and lobster were ok but nothing special. The food was so boring a flavorless...and I was freaken starving the next day (it was almost as if I hadn't even eaten dinner). I can only assume the food was just poor quality ingredients with artificial flavors and fillers. Yuck! Two stars because both the waitress and atmosphere were pleasant and jogging offensive was discovered in the food. read more

Red Lobster - Seafood Near Me - Brea, California

Excited to be here. The parking weekend before Christmas can be a nightmare, but four-course feast for $17 and cheddar biscuits!! Clam chowder to start, with Caesar salad, garlic-grilled shrimp, and brownie a la mode to finish things off (friend is getting caramel cheesecake to share (how we do.)) Is that period in the right spot? Had a spoonful of the loaded potato with bacon...yums. Prefer that over my clam chowder. The caesar salad was the usual with parmesan shavings, croutons, and a tangy caesar dressing, but we finished it because we knew it would be easier to take the entrees to go than the other courses. My two skewers of shrimp came with rice pilaf and broccoli that I wasn't aware of, which was a nice surprise. For some reason I don't think they mentioned it in the menu. The shrimps weren't the highest of quality, but still doable, and the seasoning was a tad salty but nothing a squeeze of the lemon couldn't fix. I would recommend getting the tilapia or the two pastas available with the deal instead. The brownie a la mode was warm and gooey and had a light drizzle of chocolate syrup on top with a side of vanilla ice cream to balance it out. Of course we couldn't finish our plates so we bagged it up to enjoy as another meal later :) Our server (disappointed I forgot his name) was great. He was on top of the water and the cheddar biscuits and had all our desserts ready for our 'ok.' Overall, a great experience from beginning to end. read more

If you're looking for a restaurant to get into without a wait and do not have a time limit, for lunch, Red Lobster is a good choice. The food was good the server was pleasant and attentive. The food took a VERY long time to come to the table. I'm talking, at least, 30 minutes. No explanation, so we don't know if they were short staffed or just slow. read more

Came in here on a Thursday night for a birthday dinner with 10 people, they had made reservations then when we got in they said they didn't have any reservations so we had to wait. Hour and ten minutes later we were at our table, where we then waited an additional 20 minutes to place our drink orders. Ordered our food and 50 minutes later we had it. Meanwhile it's a Thursday night and the entire restaurant is dead. Plenty of staff standing around doing absolutely nothing. Service was horrendous and management could absolutely care less not once did anyone come out and say we apologize were short handed in the kitchen but it should be coming out soon, absolutely nothing. We all agreed that's the last birthday dinner there for any of us. The company should truly be ashamed of themselves. read more

I love the cheese biscuits here! There to die for. Our server was Lindsey! She's so nice and attentive. Usually the service here sucks, so it was great to see an improvement in the customer service end of it. She offered us specials and recommended appetizers. We will definitely be back and ask her to serve us again. Thanks again! read more

My goal is not to fill up too much on those warm, flavorful biscuits (as I've made the mistake of doing in the past), so I can enjoy the rest of my meal. Although the calamari was tasty, we wished that it had a crisper coating; the broccoli compliments the calamari nicely (just wish that someone's long hair hadn't gotten into our appetizer, stringing a couple pieces of vegetables together -- eww). The fresh, crisp salad was a refreshing treat before the entrees arrived. I forgot the name of the tasty trio I ordered (it had lobster tail, skewered shrimp, and shrimp scampi -- I think); the Crab Crusted Tilapia was also very tasty! Everyone at our table enjoyed their entrees! It was our first visit to the Brea Mall location; we found it to be clean, and liked the quiet atmosphere. Service was pleasant, as well. read more

This place is BOMB! If ur looking for a good lobster dinner, right here. Plus there biscuits are phenomenal. At this specific location, its much quieter and service is up to par. I ordered a wood fired lobster tail, scallop, and shrimp entree served over a bed of rice (which was oddly good since i don't like rice) and a side of creamy longostino lobster mashed potatoes. My girl created her own entree and got a grilled wild salmon, shrimp scampi, and broccoli with a rock lobster tail as a side. My lobster was fine, a little rubbery but i didnt expect too much from them. Lobster mashed potatoes was just mashed potatoes with gravy that had lobster meat diced in it. Grilled shrimp was kinda overcooked and it lost its shrimp flavor. The salmon my girl got was bomb tho, I finished half of hers and her shrimp scampi, and she was raving about how delicious her rock lobster tail was. I guess i was the hungry one out of the 2 of us, but one downfall of the whole thing which was the cause of only 4 stars was the price. 80 bux for all this, and i was still hungry after my 40 buck plate?!... ehhh, might as well go to Ruth Chris and get much more quality. Over all, i'll still be going to these chains whenever i'm craving sumn seafoody. read more

My review today is 100% service based. Food was good and was to be expected, however the star of the show was our Server Erik. He pleasant demeanor and professionalism was beyond compare. I have not had such a wonderful experience with a server. Red Lobster better keep their eye on him so no other restaurants steal him away. Thank you Erik for the wonderful dining experience. Be proud that you put such a wonder exclamation point to our evening. Job well done sir!. Check#59171 on 8/1/19 @ 650pm read more

So this red lobster looks way better than the City of Industry one...bigger and juss...when i walked in...wow but....the food doesn't taste as good and it's VERY clear their food is pre-made...which is not news but at least other locations don't make it so obvious when our server brought our salads he didn't notice we had no utensils so we had to grab it ourselves...when i asked for a half portion he said they don't have half portions and so i asked for the lunch portion and he said they're the same size but this is not the case at City of Industry for bdais tho we had a coupon $5 off two adult entrees which was koo...they sing to u...service was good read more

Wife's favorite restaurant. Took her here for Mother's Day. Very disappointed in their menu (which seems to change every month), and the portion size. $30.00 for the smallest piece of steak and a mini lobster tail! Way over priced for the portion you get. Service was not the best either! Kids menu comes with only oranges or broccoli for a side! Will take her to a seafood restaurant closer to Newport Beach in the future ! read more

I haven't been to Red Lobster for perhaps 20 years and when I said I wanted to come here for Christmas Eve dinner while visiting in LA, my family laughed. Well, it looks like I got the last laugh this time 'cause everyone loved the fish platters. And those cheese biscuits!! Plus I didn't have to spend a fortune on dinner for a hungry crowd. True, it's not a fancy place, but we were seated at a large booth and were able to relax and enjoy each other's company. The service was fast and friendly. The illustrated menu makes it easy to choose exactly what you want. Actually, you could say it made it difficult to order because everything looked amazing. When our plates arrived, we were not disappointed. The meals came with healthy options as sides like brussels sprouts, salads and asparagus. The veggies were cooked perfectly as was the abundant portions of delicious crab, shrimp, and, of course, lobster. We joked about the amount of butter for dipping that came in a bowl on everyone's plate. Among all of us, there had to have been over a pound of melted butter. But the shell fish was seasoned nicely and very tender. All I needed on mine was a squeeze of lemon. So good! Bang for the buck, this was an amazing night out. read more
