Have not been to Red Lobster in a pretty long time but came this evening for a birthday celebration and the service was great and the food was good. One thing I can say is that the prices have definitely increased from years ago but hey what do you expect. Yesterdays price is not todays price. read more

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

I decided to grab some lunch before heading to Target and came in here. I have been here a few times before and really Red Lobsterr can be a hit or miss depending on the day. Well this time was a hit. All of my food came out quickly and seemed to be made with love. This lobster pizza was on point. Really enjoyed myself. My waitress was very attentive and kept checking in on us. Bartender did very well with our drinks. 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. When we got our table our server, I believe his name was Hausani greeted us gave us time to look at the menu. He took our order brought us nice HOT! Biscuits, Drinks and our salad as requested. 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

We enjoyed our server as well as the food, this is not our 1st rodeo, and the food still taste the same as when we 1st Dined there pre-pandemic. read more

FILTHY!!! I took my hand sanitizer and sprayed the table and proceeded to wipe away a stain that I thought came from my drink, and this was the outcome. BEYOND DIRTY!!! There's no way in hell they are cleaning these tables. Not even with a damp cloth. This is built up dirt! Appetite was completely gone, the hair that came with my daughters food sealed the deal right after. NEVER AGAIN! 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

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

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

I'm just putting this out there because i've never experienced something like this. Highly disappointed gateway . Do better.. 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

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

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

I received excellent service from my server Narddia T. She was prompt in taking our order, got everything correct . She checked the food before it came out. She continuously gave us refills. Just 5 star service . Amazing time. 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 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

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

The food was amazing and April was a great waitress! We only waited 20 minutes and it was fake crowded. There was a drink that you get free glasses and the drinks were fruity and strong.

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. Also having to remind the waiter for cutlery and food. having placed us by the bathroom for seating and it was dirty on the floor. Tissue and food on the floor... I could see into the kitchen from where I was sitting and it was food on the floor infront of the salad station!! RED LOBSTER I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED!!! read more

If I could give a negative star I would. Before I begin I understand that Tuesdays are very busy due to the $10 casa margs and $20 crab legs. Let me just say this it is $24 not $20 so it'll be $24 plus tax just be mindful of that. I ordered the crab legs, my best friend ordered the endless shrimp and my home girls ordered lobster pasta and shared crab legs. We waited an hour and 30 to be seated. Then waited ANOTHER hour and 30 to be served our first drink and food. The waiter energy was not it at all, she's probably tired but she was very hostile from the moment she got to us. We ordered another drink and had to cancel because we were waiting so long. Also for the unlimited shrimp the server told my friend she only order one at a time but the lady next to us kept giving her friends however much shrimp they requested I don't understand. She served another party of two next to us but they seem to be her friend because she sat down as she took there order. They received two drinks BEFORE our second drink as well as their food which was unbelievable because we waited HOURS for ours. Our server name is Deandra btw. We didn't even get our second drink because she insisted we cancel rather than make something happen. Talking about the bar is backed up but everyone next to us were receiving their drinks no problem. Then it was a party of 6-9 people on the right side of us that snuck in by their friend that works there. I don't know her name but she was short, lightskin, long curly wig with long lashes that can fly her away. They received multiple drinks and food before we could get our food or second drink which was not fair at alllll. Another coworker with box braids knew them as well. So it was like a two for one special. That was literally the most terrible experience I ever had and the server thought she was gone get a tip. HA ! think again girl. Attitude was NASTY the moment she got to the table, barely gave us a chance to speak because she was speaking too damn fast. read more

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

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

Red Lobster - Dessert they gave me for my bday. Let me add we have celebrated alot of bdays here, this is the first time its been plated so pretty... - Seafood Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This Red Lobster is located at the Gateway Center and is a good option for those looking to eat seafood, steak, pasta, and/or all of the above. This spot is quite spacious and clean (excluding the bathrooms - be courteous, please clean up after yourselves and flush the toilet)! We arrived as a party of three and was told that there would be a 30- to 35-minute wait. We were also told that we would be receiving a text message once our table was ready. However, the phone service at this location is poor and we did not receive a text message for half an hour. After checking with the front desk staff, we were told that our table was no longer available as there is a 10-minute grace period before tables are offered to following customers. We noticed that this was not an uncommon issue that customers were having. That said, the staff handled the situation very professionally and we were seated within minutes. For starters, we ordered the Seafood-Stuffed Mushrooms, Parrot Isle Coconut Shrimp, and New England Clam Chowder. For our main course, we ordered a customizable Ultimate Feast including Maine Lobster Tail, 7-oz Sirloin, Shrimp Linguini Alfredo, and Garlic Shrimp Scampi, as well as two sides of mashed potatoes and cole slaw. We also ordered a side of brussels sprouts. The cheddar bay biscuits were nice and warm. They were a tad on the saltier side but still tasty with hints of cheesy and garlicky goodness. The New England Clam Chowder was good but nothing special and the Seafood-Stuffed Mushrooms were also good but not worth the price. We were hoping there would be more seafood in the stuffing. The Parrot Isle Coconut Shrimp was served with a piña colada sauce and it was crispy and sweet with a hint of pineapple. The Ultimate Feast was worth the price since we were able to choose what we wanted and it was what ultimately filled us up. The Maine Lobster Tail was tasty and the 7-oz Sirloin was cooked perfectly to medium where the center is pink but not very bloody. The Shrimp Linguini Alfredo was creamy and delicious and the Garlic Shrimp Scampi was also very good and flavorful. The mashed potatoes and cole slaw were good too. We were pleasantly surprised by the brussels sprouts, which were crispy and savory. Service was good as our server came by multiple times to ask if we needed anything. read more

Today at Red Lobster my experience was HORRIBLE, DISGUSTING, DISRESPECTFUL and indefinitely down right wrong. The waiter took MORE than enough time just taking my order and when he did it took OVER 40 minutes for my food to come, just for it to be DROPPED on the floor, the idiot waiter dropped my food and watched it and instead of picking it up, HE LEFT IT THERE just waiting for someone else to pick it up. This establishment needs proper training and leadership when it comes to time management and just learning how to not fall with food in your hand. I will never be coming here EVER again, just remember you'll be hearing from my LAWYERS.PS. the ambiance was very awkward couldn't even make tiny small talk and barely did his job correctly. The scenery in this establishment was very outdated i felt completely abandoned like a crab out of its shell. NEVER AGAIN. read more

I went to red lobster and ordered the endless shrimp special. The waiter kept avoiding my table to bring my next round shrimps.

They also had so many tables empty but was sitting guest every 30- 40 mins . read more
