Great food and wonderful service from our waitress Mikayla(sp?). My roommate and I loved our experience at this location compared to our previous visits in Calgary to the other location by Chinook mall. Wasn't very busy when we came for lunch, so it was a very chill environment! read more

We made reservations and were seated forthwith. Our Server was Halima. She provided service, the likes of which I rarely see anymore; there when you needed something but was also sensitive to conversation and didn't bother us when she could tell we didn't need anything from her. When we requested something, we received it before we could wonder if it was coming. The food was very good. The manager was present. This was an excellent dining experience. read more

Food was horrendous, the margaritas were on point but man , steak I ordered medium rare was blue rare , the lobster tail had received with the order looked like something out of middle earth , crab dip was good thought and same with my girlfriend's lobster and shrimp linguine was flavoured well but like two tiny chunks of lobster was hardly what one could call value wouldn't return for business at least to this location! read more

I've eaten at alot of these places over the years but this one makes me not want to return. Snappy server. Low product availability (out or many items). However I chose my usual standard. Garlic shrimp overcooked and tough. Fried shrimp ok. But was pasta was inedible. Worst was the bill my server had added a .99 charge to my bill for bacon without asking. As well a charge for coleslaw (4.49). I had requested the coleslaw as they were out of lettuce for a salad. I was informed salads are no longer included. However maybe it's my fault but past experiences have not charged for salads. I reviewed the menu and noted it now is a charge. However the waiter Jordan's attitude throughout the meal and experience is really what soured my time here. My advice don't sit in the bar or if your get Jordan move. read more

Red Lobster - the front of the restaurant - Seafood Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

Service was great, very attentive and had knowledge about menu and different options! On top of drinks too. Food was good we had no appetizers the bread they bring was fantastic didn't bring butter but was great without!! I had 2 different lobsters with the linguine and I definitely preferred maritime lobster over Atlantic! Linguine was good with asparagus as my side, it was cooked perfectly! Our friends liked their meals, both hubby's had different versions of the surf and turf , my hubby inhaled his! And our friend finished his with no complaints! Been awhile since we were here at least 4 years, but we will be back, it was good!! read more

We haven't been to Red Lobster in years, as the last visit to the MacLeod Trail location was hugely disappointing. However, we thought we'd try the NE location and it was fantastic! The fish and chips were fresh, perfectly prepared and the service was outstanding (THANK YOU MARK- YOU MADE A GREAT MEAL EVEN BETTER!) In a time when dining is tricky and typically disappointing, Red Lobster NE was excellent. Highly recommended. They care, and it really shows. read more

Poor, pathetic service, shitty management was proud of a 6hour table bus. he said it takes approximately that long to bus a 4top table. Ruined birthday for my husbands 50th bday, left after 1:39 min wait for food and 5drinks most of which were soft drinks. Waiter was an idiot and had no people skills at all. Next waiter assigned to the table asks us what we would like to order again after 1:40min after we had placed our order already and then proceeds to ask us what we would like for our second choices when the first one had not even come to the table . Never ever plan a party at Red Lobster Marlborough read more

Sunday lunch at Reb Lobster sure hit the spot. Nothing has really changed with the decor or the menu...kinda the same old quality and selection. I ordered the Lobster feast which consisted of two different types of lobster, which is neat to try and compare the difference in taste and texture. Would definitely not order the Caribbean Lobster again...pretty nasty...now I know why lobster never taste the same when we travel to the Caribbean. Where else can you order something like this and see the difference in seafood? Biscuits are always very tasty and way better then the make at home...out of the box Red Lobster biscuits. Prices are still pretty high for my liking, especially for the dining experience and decor of an outdated restaurant. Overall, this is a nice place to satisfy your seafood cravings and always a sure bet to leave full and satisfied. read more

I have come to Red lobster a few times and always leave satisfied. I usually hit it for the all you can eat shrimp menu. It really is worth the money. They had a new tortilla crusted Shrimp that was amazing and also a teryaki coated shrimp. Very good. Sides are standard. Lobster biscuits are amazing. Love them. Service has always been good for me as I sit in the bar area. Not sure about the other menu items and won't try them yet. read more

This location was overwhelmed for New Year's Eve. My order was for 5:30 pick up. I left at 6:45 with the food. Felt sorry for the staff working on the most celebratory night of the year, so I even tipped 15% despite what was abysmal service. The atmosphere among the dozens of us who were awaiting our orders was not that genial after over an hour's wait. I didn't bother checking my order - some other guy had taken his to the car and came back to complain, and left without satisfaction. I was shorted on my stuffed mushroom appetizer - only 4 of the 6 expected mushrooms were in the package. I was also missing an order of Crispy Brussel Sprouts - an item that was an additional $3 each. No one had bothered to throw in any lemon for the grilled salmon that was part of my combo, or any cocktail sauce for the breaded shrimps that were ordered for my husband's combo. On the other hand, they gave me twice the number of buns (8 instead of 4) - I have no idea of the value that supposedly equates to, but as a rule we only eat one each so the rest were wasted. Someone also attempted to upgraded one of the Shrimp Linguine to a mix of Lobster and Shrimp, although there were exactly 3 pieces of lobster claw to be found. We live over 20 minutes away from this restaurant, so by the time I got home the food was barely warm - we plated it and reheated in the microwave. The linguine and green beans held up well to the experience, but the rest suffered, especially the salmon. Mind you, they only offered the grilled salmon for take-out. The poached salmon that I've had here is actually equal to the BEST I've had anywhere in the world. So I really expected better than what I got. We have dined at this location at least twice per year for over a half dozen years, so we've had some wonderful meals here. That's why I chose to do pick-up for New Year's Eve. I've done it before too, since Covid started, and the experience was still decent. I hope management here has learned a valuable lesson about allowing online ordering - they need to place limits. I actually think they may have been running out of supplies, to have shorted my order, because they over-committed on deliveries. Still, a restaurant is only as good as the last meal you've eaten there. This one was disappointing - on par with how the whole of 2020 has progressed. read more

My Mom and I and three other guests were at your Red Lobster at the 312 35th Street Northeast in Calgary. The service was perfect, and staff are very friendly. One of the dishes that both my mom and I ordered, New England Clam Chowder - Bowl order. I was very disappointed with the clam chowder the chowder had pea size potato pieces and no clams, the consistency of the soup instead of being more like a think clam soup, it was runny like water. I have had new England clam chowder many places, but this was the worst I have ever had. In fact, if I would spend the money on a can of Campbell's New England Clam Chowder it would be better than what I received at your restaurant read more

The last time I had been to Red Lobster was at the NW Motel Village location just before they closed it up. I had been waiting for years to get back motivated by previous good experiences. Today we visited the 36th St NE location after specifically planning to be in that area in the late afternoon. For a start the location is terrible what with the LRT etc close by. Ordered lobster tail with sides of broccoli and stuffed potato, mentioned to waiter I like lots of garlic as that's how I remembered it and why I had come across the city to try it again. What a disappointment, lobster was blah, the broccoli was bland, it was steamed or cooked in water with no seasoning or sauce and tasteless and rubbery. I used the garlic butter sauce that's supposed to be for the lobster on the broccoli but it didn't help at all, then had none for the lobster. My girlfriends assorted seafood platter was equally disappointing, basically tasteless and dry. One drink each, bill $76. This was a perfect place where I shouldn't have left a tip, but who likes to do that nowadays. A big disappointment, will never go back. read more

Food came out pretty cold. The garlic shrimp was pretty good. The lobster and crab felt a little over cooked and like I said, cold. Slightly disappointing. read more

Went with a friend who loves Red Lobster. I had fish tacos and was pleasantly surprised. The tacos were well prepared, but not exceptionally flavourful. A bit more heat may have helped. The service was excellent. Overall: I'm not a big fan of this kind of seafood/fish chain resto, but if this is your thing, you'll probably enjoy the predictable flavours. Atmosphere ** Service **** Food *** read more

First timers here at this location - and last timers... it was pretty bad. When we pulled up, the exterior appeared to be going through some pretty major renos but it was business as usual. The restaurant was open and the parking lot was busy. We decided to give it a shot and went inside. The lobster tank at the front that always welcomes you at a Red Lobster was empty but running. My husband asked the gal where the lobsters were and she replied that they were out! Really??? No lobsters at Red Lobster. Off to our seat we went over the most filthy floors ever. We stepped over crayons, a dirtyt butter knife, a slew of little garbage pieces/food everywhere. Yes, we should have walked out but I was so craving my piece of fish! Soup - clam chowder - forget hot, it was not even warm Salad with dressing on side - dressing had been in a container on top of my salad and had spilled everywhere onto my salad en route to our table - inedible, turned into raspberry vinaigrette soup The fish entree - tilapia - presumed frozen and just bland and tasteless with soggy broccoli The service was less then impressive - on robot mode and everyone knows robots do not smile. 1 star for the dessert - even though we got the wrong one brought to our table (we had ordered the key lime). We got a warm brownie with vanilla ice cream. THAT was pretty perfect. I think they were doing renos inside the restaurant but it was hard to tell as the place really was a mess, even the washrooms - avoid if you can! For about the same price, we could have gone to the Keg. read more

I came here with my husband and his family and decided to have lunch after a wedding ceremonWe all were excited to come here as there is no Red Lobster in Vancouver. Our table got lobster scones which was a nice incentive. However, it was covered in butter and quite salty. I ordered the lobster Bisque and Caesar salad with breaded shrimp. Unfortunately, the soup was extremely salty and I could only finish a quarter of it. The salad was covered heavily in ranch dressing and I couldn't finish that either. My brother in law ordered the lobster and waffles which I tried a bit of, and that was delicious. My husband ordered a medley of seafood- he couldn't finish his meal either due to the feeling of heaviness from the deep fry and heavy breading. The shrimp, scallops and clams were apparently dry. I think we all agreed we would not come again for the food. The service we received was excellent though and our server was very friendly and attentive. read more

I know it's odd to see your resident vegetarian writing a review on Red Lobster, but bear with me. My boyfriend loooooves Red Lobster and what kind of girlfriend would I be if I didn't accompany him to his favourite restaurant now and then? He feels bad when we go though, and we hardly ever do, because there are only 3 things I can eat at Red Lobster: 1. Mozza Sticks 2. Cheese biscuits 3. Warm Chocolate Chip Lava Cookie You're not hearing ANY complaints from me... but clearly this isn't where I go when I'm in the middle of a detox :) I'm told that the Endless Shrimp here is DA BOMB and the night we went, the service was GREAT. The cheese biscuits that come fresh out of the oven are reason ALONE to go, and once you've had a basket full, followed by the warm chocolate chip lava cookie, life is feelin' pretty damn good. My only complaint is that WHY doesn't Red Lobster have at least ONE vegetarian option on their menu? They have to KNOW that some of us are willing to do whatever it takes to please our partners, and if a trip to Red Lobster is all it takes, then the least Red Lobster can do is give us something healthy to eat! read more

I'm still giving it 3 stars for the following reasons: 1) when drinks were served my friends ordered coffee....no spoons 2.) When I asked for refill....didn't come 3.) The food I ordered, lobster pasta...very greasy 4.) 4 people 160 + bucks no alcohol...I think it's a bit much 5.) Due to being very busy the service wasn't as great. Will only go there for special occasions. It's really greasy and small portion. read more

Had an awesome dinner and the waitress was amazing thanks Lacey.

We went that restaurants with a few friends, it was my first time to Res Lobster and I have to say that I have been missing a LOT. This place is simply amazing, except for the fact you may wait for hours to get a table but that was understandable since it was Saturday night. The food is simply amazing, the service was quick and pleasant. I'm just waiting for a chance to go back. I'll try to make a reservation before I go though. Totally recommend. read more

Enjoyed our meals and the service was great. I'm giving Red Lobster 3 stars because they don't carry sweetener. Only white sugar. We were shocked and the wait staff was embarrassed. We felt so bad for them. Being diabetic isn't a life style choice, it's a health condition that requires careful monitoring. Sweetener would have definitely been appreciated. read more

There certainly were elements of my recent meal that were a yummy buttery luxury, such as the biscuits and escargot. I ordered the stuffed sole and thought it was pretty salty. The presentation was quite boring, but I suppose we have become spoiled by such things. It didn't taste or look any different than what I could have served at home, but my effort was saved so it was a treat to have an average main course not cooked by me. I must say that our server was overly enthusiastic. She kept saying to my spouse and I that our food would be so great that we'd be back tomorrow. Really? I would have been okay with hearing this once but after a few times it was old and annoying. It was slightly unfortunate. The only thing I truly feel needs some serious attention here is the restroom, as the stall doors in particular were pretty greebly. The restaurant was very busy and maybe this is normal for a weeknight. I just don't go out during the week very often. I think Red Lobster makes for a respectable family outing or rush choice meal but I'd go elsewhere on a date night. read more

Great service here. Our server actually humoured us as we waited for my family for two hours before ordering. But she did get us on a stiff drink bill. Anyway, everybody loved their seafood and I stuck with my chicken fingers. Which makes me sound like a child, I know, but I don't care for seafood, which is why I moved to Calgary from Halifax. Good steak. But, even though I didn't enjoy the seafood, I won't forget the service. It was quick and pleasant and she even put up with my belligerent cousin with a friendly smile. read more

Last night I went with my family for a quick last minute dinner. I just wanted to post that I LOVE THEIR COCONUT SHRIMP! Especially it being paired up with their Pina Colada Sauce. For $15-16 meal you get your salad and buns + 10-12 pieces of Butterfly Shrimp coated with coconut and then deep fried. My favorite is the Pina Colada Sauce made with PIneapple and yogurt?!?! (I'm guessing) Yum read more

was excited to get a nice seafood lunch but when our biscuits came there was a long hair in our biscuits, that really turns me off. When we told the waitress , she just said sorry, I will bring you out some fresh ones. Last time I visited this place about three weeks ago I had ordered the crab cakes and I think they were going off, they were a greyish color not pinky white and the taste was off. I left them and commented to the waitress and she just said oh that is too bad. Prices have been skyrocking at this restaurant chain and portions have been getting much smaller, I was told by waitress that the salad portions are not allowed to been seen over the bowl edge, you now get maybe half a bowl of salad if you are lucky anymore. Myself I am going to to go to Olive Garden which is just the next parking lot at least you get all the salad you can eat. It is too bad as I have gone to Red Lobster for over 20 years now. Just too many very small portion meals and bad food lately and nothing done to rectify the mistakes I even wrote the head office and just got the brush off. I do want to add that they did rectify their mistake after the manager read my feedback, they phoned me and offered a gift certificate to be mailed to my house and apologized for the mistake. Better late than never I say.... read more

waited over an hour to get a seat and left no luck. People coming and leaving like an hospital. Avoid the one by chinook mall

Yummmy! the food here is excellent I'm a total seafood fan! so I can't get enough lobster, crab and, shrimp! I do prefer funky, higher end places, but the service here is AMAZING and we go for the food, not the atmosphere. It's a bit on the casual side and the dress code is uber casual, which is great for a quick drop in. Been here a ton and everytime we go we get excellent service and we walk out with our bellies full! Great job guys! read more

We only go there one or two times a year. Each time is the same. The food is slapped on the plate, vegetables are bland and limp, the servers are generally friendly. I see articles about Red Lobsters (US) changing its menu to try to save the company. If the food is anything like the food here, maybe they should try to improve to food to save their business. I would be embarrassed to say I am a "Chef" for this company based on the food they are serving. The only redeeming quality are the biscuits. read more

Whatever you do DON'T I repeat DON'T eat the lobster linguini disgusting taste like salt butter unless you like that flavor. They always over cook the lobster the shell becomes more like a sponge rather then the nice hard crackable shell. We went with a party of 10 only one of us liked their food. I gave 2 stars because the hot yummy biscuits they give for free is actually good. If you end up there you're better off eating free bread and ordering drinks recommend the mud slide! read more

We have eaten a few times over the years. Good food awesome choices. Great service. Tonight was no exception, however my Long Island ice tea was very sour. I sent it back and it was slightly better but not by much. I ended up putting water in it so that I could drink it. I would have returned it a second time, but the bartender looked over whelmed, and I over heard the manger refer to me as the complainer!? read more

Being from the East Coast I love my seafood. I'm disappointed to have to give this rating as I was really looking forward to some good seafood. However I have to be truthful..it was just not up to standard for the price paid. Our starters came out with our mains right on their tail. So while enjoying our salads and lobster bisques our mains where getting cold. Not to mention it sure cluttered the table. We had to ask for the cheese biscuits which didn't come until we had pretty much finished our meal...by that time I was unable to enjoy them. I had the Bar Harbour Lobster Bake. Great amount of shrimp, lobster tail was tasty and the sea scallops were nice and tender...however my mussels where dry and the shells brittle. Also way too much pasta and no sauce. My husbands dinner ( Portofino Seafood Bake) was grossly covered in oil. Both of us picked out all the seafood and left our starches. Not worth the $30 per dish. I do have to say we had a pleasant server, she was funny and joked about with us. read more

Decent service on Saturday afternoon, it was getting close to dinner time so it was a 20 minute wait if we wanted a booth- opted for the lounge instead. The food was absolutely horrible for me, my friend said his food was ok... For that price I expect better and doubt I'd be coming back. read more

This is the 3rd time coming to this Red Lobster and the last! Each time my family has gone the food has been mediocre and the service is very lacking! The waitress was nice but really didn't see her much at all! I don't mind spending money on a great meal but the food here has never impressed me! read more

Was here Feb 25-2016, must say we were not satisfied with it at all. I don't know if they realize how down hill the food has become. Their was 5 of us. We all had different things so we can't say it was just one dish... The only thing that I seemed to enjoy was the biscuit and the strawberry daiquiri I had. The only good thing about this experience is the timing that it took for us to get a seat. They were relatively busy and we only had to wait 10 mins. read more

Terrible service. Went for a party and we waited 35 minutes to get a table while there were plenty of huge empty tables. Infact the table we got was empty for that 35 minutes. Once seated we waited about about 25 minutes for a waitress to get is drinks. When we asked someone who worked there to get is a waitress she said she would, we waited another 10-15 minutes. Food was cold and not very good. read more

Came in with some family for a birthday, service was super slow, took an hour to wait for our food, but they were super nice when we asked about it, and gave us extra food complementary, Waiter was a 10/10, service... 3/5 read more

Went to this restaurant dec. 4/15 for lunch with my wife and my 101 year old mother, we used to go two to three times a month, but this time I asked where was there Christmas Tree which had been up for two weeks prior to this. I was informed that the head office told the staff to take it down. So for me ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, hence the one star.I would give none if I could, I'm Tried of being pushed around and this really OFFENDED ME and it takes a lot to offend me, never used the word myself but these days my culture seems to offend others so now it is my turn, you folks are OFFENDIND ME. (head office) So will never go back to this place and will pass the information to all my friendsSo for all the people who feel as I do MERRY CHRISTMAS To you and your families. Regards Ron Russell. Okotoks. read more

Amazing customer service. The manager is a doll. Ordered my meal and it looked tiny I told the waitress the manger brought me Two portions of crab legs. Unreal super amazing. Will be back for sure:) read more

Easter Sunday at 4:25 we were promptly seated at a corner table, then sat for 15 minutes with menus watching tables right beside us get their water/drinks, biscuits and orders taken while we seemed to be invisible. Finally spoke to their star waiter Percy who offered to get us started despite it not being his section. Then spoke with the manager who could only offer a weak apology. Average six to ten visits a year for the last six years, four of us were there just two weeks ago, very good tippers and no incentive to return. Very disappointed, waiting to hear from RL's customer service on their website, how weak will their response be??? Guess it's Rodney's from here on out!! read more

Girls night out on Tuesday evening. Service was ok to start, drinks came as we took our time ordering while catching up. Server came by several times so we made up our minds and placed our order. Food came quite quickly. Main courses no longer come with butter or lemon, although the pictures on the menu show many dishes having a grilled lemon. Waited and waited for our server to come back to order these but she never did. Good thing the server in the adjacent section was quite attentive to her customers as she brought these out to us. Our server shows up giving song and dance about the food no longer comes with butter or lemon (order was fire grilled salmon, lobster and shrimp) because mgmt is trying to save money. The food was mediocre at best. The restaurant was quite busy when we left at 7pm but i wont be back. For the price I can get far better food and much better service elsewhere. read more
