Food is average at best. Service is slow and disdainful. You're a nuisance for asking for some extra wedges of lemon. We sat at the bar for faster seating but the only thing decently paced at this establishment was the walk from the entrance to the bar seats. Waiter seemed disappointed that we didn't order alchy bevs. Or did he just hate his job in general? ‍ We will never know. From the time of ordering, getting our food, getting the check and the credit card payment being processed - everything ran at a snail's pace. We're just tryna eat this mediocre food and go home. Please. The bathroom was unclean and un-restocked. Oh and why were there soooo many fruit flies at the bar area?! Am I in a 3rd world country???! As my husband said, this is a first and a last trip to this branch. Readers, go elsewhere. read more

Red Lobster - Seafood Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

My server Marion was not good. She was taking care of her bar patrons and didn't check once to see how my meal or drink was.. I asked her for water and 10 minutes later I had to ask someone else. In fact, I had to ask 2 different workers for assistance. When she saw me ask the waiter, she had an attitude and asked him "what does she want?" She upcharged me for my bar drink and meal (without asking) but I let that slide. I don't come here often but if I return, I hope she won't be my server I only tipped her because I understand servers have a tough job and have low hourly wages, but based on the service she provided me, she didn't deserve sh!t. The food was ok although my entree was lukewarm. read more

Had a party of ten last minute full of hungry teens for my moms birthday, the server was great .I believe his name was was Donte and he did amazing. Very polite, nice and quick.

Red Lobster - Family dinner - Seafood Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I have been coming here since I was 15 years old. My first date, with my first boyfriend was here. I am 34 years old. Over the years this place has significantly fell from grace. Came in today for some lunch after thanksgiving shopping. Sat at the bar as it was only me. It was crowded maybe 2 other people at the bar. Not many in the restaurant. The bartender looked at me with no acknowledgment. 5 minutes later she sits menus in front of me. Still no acknowledgment. 10 mins later she comes and ask if someone took my order. How when you the only one here. No biggie I placed my order. I asked questions she like idk I'll ask. Later found out she was new. Where's the help? I ordered the all you can eat shrimp and a mango martini. I got my drink 15 mins after ordering despite there being no drink tickets. Someone else made my drink. The help she needed. I had to ask for silverware. As I received food without it. The biscuits they were amazing. Soft, hot, buttery, garlicky, cheesy goodness. They definitely were fresh. The Caesar salad was good. Though too much Parmesan cheese for the amount of lettuce and the croutons had a sweetness to it, that I could've done without. The mango martini was delicious and strong. For the first portion you get 3 shrimp options and a side. I ordered the shrimp scampi, the shrimp Alfredo and this new dragon shrimp they had. The dragon shrimp was basically fried shrimp with a spicier Thai sweet chili sauce. It was great. They didn't saturate the shrimp with sauce so it was still crispy. I like that the sauce was on the spicier side. The shrimp scampi was good but way too greasy. The Alfredo was creamy but bland and the shrimp was overcooked. For a refill I got the grilled shrimp. The waiter put in 2 portions though I only wanted one. You can see the difference in cook from the picture. The properly cooked portion had a nice grilled taste but was too greasy. I didn't care to get the other shrimp options as I had them and they are mid. I wanted to try the ruby mule which was vodka, ginger beer, raspberry and mint. But they didn't have the ginger beer. I also wanted to try the snow globe sangria, which was St. Germain, moscato, white cranberry and starry. But they didn't have the moscato. Quite annoying honestly. I got refills of the shrimp scampi and dragon shrimp. Technically you can't take any shrimp to go. But I was able to snag a to go container as I was stuffed. The new girl left before I finished the first portion. The girl who replaced her was much better with service. Since I've eaten here quite a lot here's my opinion on other things. The burger is surprisingly good. Quarter pound patty, brioche bun, it comes with fries, cheddar, lettuce, tomato, pickles and I believe onions. The mussels are excellent that sauce is garlicky buttery goodness. Sometimes the mussels can be overcooked. The grilled bread serve with it is always crispy and they salt it. Perfect vehicle for the sauce. I wish they gave more than 2 slices cut in half. The calamari is crispy but tender. It's served with spicy ranch and marinara. I don't like the marinara, the spicy ranch taste like it belongs on a southwest salad. It's good but overpowers the squid. My mom loves the lobsterita, which are the big margaritas. They had these lobster and shrimp tacos one time that were bad. Barely any lobster in them and the lobster that was there was bland. Too much breading, the pico served with it was phenomenal. I went in with my mom and was able to get the new drinks they didn't have last time. The snow globe was a cloyingly sweet mess. Not enough St. Germain, they need to eliminate the starry and use lime or lemon seltzer instead, also a less sweet moscato. Wouldn't drink it again for free. The ruby mule was excellent. You could taste the raspberry and the ginger beer. I'll saunter in again if I'm in the neighborhood and in the mood for seafood or if I'm with my mom since she loves red lobster. But it's not a place I seek out as the inconsistency is too frequent and the service to hit or miss. Shavon is the Best server there. I always ask to sit in her section if she's there. Kind, efficient, never needs to write anything down and never forgets anything. Ask for her. read more

The service was amazing with Corina, she was super friendly and made suggestions. We also had the flatbread (which I couldn't finish bc it was so salty) and a lobster artichoke dip which was good. The clam chowder was bland, and the shrimp scampi was super salty as well. The ambiance was relaxed and decent. read more

Appetite was completely gone, the hair that came with my daughters food sealed the deal right after. NEVER AGAIN! read more

When I first walked in we were greeted by a friendly smiling host, I like that. The wait was less then 15 minutes.

My wife order her favorite Walt's Shrimp with a loaded baked potato she said was delicious. I had broiled flounder with coconut shrimp and fries. That was delicious too. We enjoyed eating here and will continue to come. read more

I had an amazing time at this red lobster. Normally this one is either hit or miss. It was surprisingly crowded for a Thursday evening. But, the wait time wasn't too bad. We decided to wait at the bar and have a drink and before we could finish half the table was ready. The bartenders were very nice, and made amazing drinks. Our server was excellent. She was personable, funny, and dealt with us mildly intoxicated without any issues. She laughed with us, and deserved every dollar she earned that night. She kept us abreast of wait times, checked on us often to see how we were doing. All in all the 4 stars were because of her amazing service. I had a bad craving for coconut shrimp for way to long from red lobster. I was finally able to satisfy that craving and it was everything that i thought it would be and more. Lmao! Everything came out super hot. It tasted exactly how i remembered. I would return here again. The drinks were strong, the food was good. And the vibe was pretty good too. It was perfect for a date night. We saT in a secluded section of the restaurant where we felt we had more privacy lol. Absolutely no complaints whatsoever. Peep pics below read more

Terrible service, i had a resevervation for 7:16 but these people told me to wait 30 mins and it's been 2 hours now

Strike 1: Walked in added my info for the waitress to dine in, was told to come back in 30-40mins. Did just that, to return to the same staff member telling me that she could've locate my name. Seconds later, another staff member not only found my name but verified it to show her colleague . Strike : The staff at table left dirty dishes on the table; Had to ask another waiter to take & replace them read more

Staff: Was greeted warmly by the hostess and was informed that a table of 4 would be about an hour wait. Granted the place is large but they were turning tables over as quickly as possible. Factor in the endless shrimp it was surprising at how fast the tables were turning over. The Food was fresh and served super hot. hot enough that the scampi sauce was still bubbling away in their ceramic bowls. the shrimp were plentiful and just kept coming and coming. Parking was pretty decent as it's in a big shopping area and you won't have an issue parking. Price can't be beat. for endless shrimp its going to run you around $16.00 factor in a large 20 ounce beer and appitizers and I think everyone's meal came out to around $40 (food, drink, and appetizer. Highly recommend this spot! Great food, really nice staff and a fun relaxed atmosphere. read more

The service here is atrocious! Showed up at noon for lunch, and it was a nearly empty restaurant. The hostess decided to seat us next to their open concept kitchen. First thing we hear is someone yell "F***!" from the kitchen! We decided to wait for our waitress to change tables, but she never showed. After 15 minutes with not even a drink order taken, we left. All the restaurant's in gateway center have the same slow and horrible service. They all need to revamp their staffs... read more

Another establishment on the will not return list. Was at this location on 05/08/2023 at approximately 4:30 pm. We had a waitress, well a young lady by the name of DeDe. As a table of three, while placing our order she was more concerned with cleaning her nails and making sure the glue on her edges was holding. We ordered, the food arrived and this young lady had a attitude the whole time. I had endless shrimp. Never was offered another round of shrimp. Placed several orders for refills on beverages. None never received. Never came back until I was asked "you need a Togo box". Yes. And could we have some biscuits to go. I was told sure. But we have to charge you for the unlimited biscuits. I agreed. 20 min later when she returned and was rudely cleaning the table and slamming glasses. She asked. You need help paying the bill. I paid the bill and left. No tip. Not returning. Nonetheless I still haven't received a refill on no drink or the endless shrimp. read more

We came here because the Outback our original destination promised a wait time of 35/45 mins. Red Lobster said 20. Okay. I received a text closer to an hour later that my table was ready. The confusion, the upset guests, man doesn't RL know that on a Sunday the folks come out?!? The food was okay. Nothing to write a review about but then there's Yelp, always poking my arse with "tell us how your experience was". This job eh. I had the endless shrimp. I think I tried every type of shrimp they had. I was full after my first entree but greedy is what greedy does. Of course you can't take it with you. My waiter Larique (spell check) was sweet in telling me to order each shrimp dish in advance as it takes ten minutes to prepare. We were in it together as each time he placed an order he jokingly asked asked "the next one right?". Yep, I slowly nodded as l unbuttoned my belt buckle. I like my RL but except for my server this one was just..... I'll still be back. The End. read more

I dined in today for my lunch break. I had a server named Dante. Everything was alright at first... then he disappeared for a little which wasn't really alarming. However when he returned, it was a heavy scent of marijuana and I was completely turned off. . couldnt even finish my food I just asked for a Togo box. I'm just putting this out there because i've never experienced something like this. Highly disappointed gateway . Do better.. read more

I am very disappointed in Red Lobster and will not eat there ever again . I was hoping from the advertisements it would be a little better than before but it actually got worse. Let's start with the positive our waitress was sweet and did her best. The food itself however was bland and pasta was over cooked.I had the shrimp Alfredo. I dont understand how can you mess up shrimp Alfredo. We also had the shrimp scampi and lobster linguine it had too much salt and the potatoes were burnt. The happy hour menu was limited with only 3 choices of $5 drinks not even different flavors and only $ 2 off on appetizers which did not make much a difference because they were pricey. The atmosphere did not change and the overall food menu was very limited. There are so many restaurants now that does a better job for less money. Red Lobster needs to do much better to compete. Like for example have a cook upgrade the quality of their cooking and use less salt. read more

Well Red Lobster at the Gateway Mall use to be my absolute favorite. Yesterday July 24, 2022 was my first time being there since the pandemic; and I was totally disappointed. The food was terrible and the waitress not her fault was way too busy and seemed, seemed to have forgotten about our food. By the time we got it I was turned off. It was not good at all. So disappointing. I hope you get it together because I love red lobster. I'll try another location but I don't want to do that. read more

5 stars for the food 0 stars for the inaccurate wait times...anytime. I wait listed for this Red Lobster 2 hours in advance and I came late because I didn't get a text and I was in the shopping area. I still had to wait a other 90 minutes...chew on that. Also it was a rainy Saturday. However I knew this going because I live nearby. I was able to stay preoccupied while I waited. Now doe the food I had the Admiral's Feast: Walt's Favorite Shrimp, bay scallops, clam strips and wild-caught flounder. My guest had the Wood-Grilled Shrimp: Two skewers of shrimp brushed with a buttery garlic glaze for extra flavor. Served with your choice of two sides. I loved the admirals feast everything was great except for the flounder. Mine cane with mashed potatoes. The grilled shrimp was also great. Regarding the Admiral's Feast. It's hard to mess up fried seafood. It wasn't too greasy either. I won't get again unless I can substitute the flounder with something else. The wait service was pretty good no complaints. I was able to order my food and it came within 20 minutes. read more

I am currently sitting here at red lobster at the bar for what has been 40 min. The waitress/bartender came to me after 10 min n dropped bread. Ok cool, it's crowded, but she never came back nor gave me my drink I ordered or even water. 33 min later a waitress from somewhere comes over and I shared its Been 45 min that I been waiting. No sorry or anything and ask what I want. When I asked how long the wait will be I was told 25 min. without losing my cool i say no thank you and walk out. Stay away from here unless you have time to waste and are willing to have others who come after you served!! Very disappointed and still hungry read more

first of all drinks were horrible. The waiter gently tried to dissuade us from drinks that we wanted, and then we still ordered them anyway and we see the reason why because they were missing ingredients no one food came food came because my wife ordered steamed instead of broiled and I'm getting broiled lobster tails then they brought the crab legs way later they were cold and then we had to remind him about the sauce for it or the garlic sauce then we didn't have any utensils to break the crab legs? Oh I almost forgot I ordered I wanted stuffed lobster baked potato they said they didn't have any more baked potatoes so I got the stuff mashed potatoes instead lobster tail they brought me back mashed potatoes, which is cheese on top then I had to go back and go get the other one and come back by that time it was just one issue after another I can't say the place is clean It's sad to say now I can see why I see reviews that red lobster is going to eventually shut down read more

Red Lobster - Shrimp Linguini Alfredo, Garlic Shrimp Scampi, Walt's Favorite Shrimp, Fresh Broccoli, Baked Potato - Seafood Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Pretty great experience overall, this location is one to go to if you're not in a rush. The waiters and waitresses are all very accommodating, but the wait times are notably long. I waited a while to be seated, to place an order, and to receive my food. Aside from that, the service was pleasant and the food was delicious. I ordered the langostino lobster artichoke dip and the Lobster Lover's Dream, which were both memorable. The dip had a very seasoned queso feel to it and the chips it came with were light and had their own seasoning, but not enough to clash with the taste of the dip. The shrimp in the dip was also a great touch to the flavor and texture. The two lobster tails were also seasoned beautiful and were prepared very well. One lobster tail may have been a slight tad overcooked, but it didn't ruin the taste so much. The lobster pasta was decent: the pasta and sauce itself had a decent flavor, nothing over the top, but the lobster and shrimp in the pasta made for a satisfying experience. Overall, I'd recommend this location but make sure you clear your calendar. read more

This was my first visit to a Red Lobster restaurant. A group of my out of town and local childhood friends/sisters recently got together and decided to dine here so we can catch up and have a wonderful time. I don't eat seafood but I still decided to come anyway because for me it wasn't about the food but about the fellowship with loved ones. I instantly fell in love with the biscuits, oh my goodness they were heavenly. Our waitress was amazing and made sure to always keep our table with hot biscuits. Although, I did not eat any food, all of the entrees looked delicious and everyone seemed with their food. The only complaint that they seemed to have was the preparation of the broccoli. It was undercooked and not steamed enough, and if you wanted to keep all of your teeth in place, it was best that you left that broccoli alone lol. The staff and manager were very attentive and always checked in to make sure that everything was okay with our group. I enjoyed my time here even if the only thing that I ate was those scrumptious biscuits. read more

Red Lobster at gateway has fallen off tremendously ! from the customer service to the quality of the food. our server had us waiting for over 30mins for our drinks. The food was mediocre.

Really not happy. So we came in tonight & place our orders & realize they didnt ask what salad we want. So my hubby asked & the server goes we have no salad. She goes ill brb w/ ur drinks. Hubby ordered diet pepsi & lemon. He gets his drink & no lemon, so shes like i have to get his drink from the bar, she brings back his drink, still no lemon. Finally we ask for a manager who came 15 minutes later & she brings lemon. So the lemon wait was about 30 minutes. Then we are told they have no chicken wings, the manager said they had none since covid. I work in the mall & got wings 2-3 times this yr. I got crab legs which were cold which they did replace, & the endless shrimp, normally u get a refill & they bring u 2 refills, now all of a sudden its one refill. read more
