I saw the new CEO of Red Lobster and wanted to see the improvements. I enjoyed everything! My Sailor Broil was delicious and the entire party enjoyed their entrees! I will return!

Shrimp cocktail

So disappointed. We had a party of 13, with reservations. We waited 20minutes before they cleaned the table. We finally got seated. We arrived at 4pm, our others arrived before 4. That's when they were told the table would be cleaned. It is now 5:40 and only 3 have recieved their salads, no other food has been recieved and we had to ask about the biscuits. By 6:10 everyone had their food, except 1 still hadn't gotten silverware. Some food was room temp, and frankly, I was reluctant to eat my lobster bisque. It still took 15 minutes for bills to be settled, and when I left, 4 were still waiting to get their cards/change back. Of course we left left tips. I left left more than 22%, but in cash mot on the ticket. I won't be back. Also, the website states senior discount 55+, but they don't honor that. Only veterans.

I hung out around the Concord Mills area for some shopping today and decided to stop in at red lobster for lunch. When we arrived, we could tell that the parking lot looked fairly empty so we were actually kind of happy because it wasn't crowded. However, once we got inside, we were told it was going to be a 15 minute wait time so we were a little confused since there was so many empty seats. We soon realize that they were just sorely understaffed with servers so we then decided to just sit at the bar thinking we would have quicker service. We actually did have quicker service at the bar. Food was decent, but overall the experience was a 2.

This location desperately needs a remodel. Once you walk in the door, there's a foul unpleasant smell. Smells old and damp, the tables are scratched up, the menus are dirty and the chairs are worn out. Now that the bad things are out the way, let's move on to the good. We were greeted by a beautiful smile, that seated us quickly. The waiter was nice and attentive as well. I hadn't been to a Red Lobster in over 2 years because the service and food had gone down but I decided to give them another chance today. So glad I did . I was a little disappointed in the margarita flights, they all tasted the same (just different colors) really didn't taste any alcohol in them either. The food was hot and delicious and oh how I missed those tasty cheddar bay biscuits (sad that we had to share 3, it was 2 of us). All in all I definitely enjoyed my meal

Sesame-soy salmon bowl

I'm showing my age a little here. Yet, this place used to be our FANCY family outing growing up. I heard it had fallen off over the years, yet something told me to give it a try. I'm happy I did. Now, the atmosphere was a little "off." The lights were dim at best. However, a few sections were not turned on. Those areas didn't have people sitting in them, though. It was also very cold. Now, I appreciate a little A/C, especially in the summer. But, it was so cold we considered getting a jacket. The service, on the other hand, was great. The waitress quickly came to greet us and take our drink order. While she was managing multiple sections, she came back in a reasonable time with our drinks and the infamous biscuits. I ordered the sesame-soy salmon bowl, and it looked just the picture. It was a good portion of salmon, and the brussel sprouts were cooked perfectly. Even the spring mix and rice were tasty. While it's not the FANCY option it used to be, I can happily say it's a nice lunch spot.

This is my second visit (08/24/25) after a bad one two months ago and they have redeemed themselves. First my waitress ,Teonia, was on point. She brought me everything I asked for and then some. Her service was kind and helpful. She asked me what I wanted and gave me time to make my selection. She checked on me throughout my meal and made sure everything was truly to my liking. I had sirloin and lobster tail (it was a little small but very tasty) with mashed potatoes and broccoli. I enjoyed my meal thoroughly. The manager, Alexa, asked me how my meal and experience were this evening. I told her it was great and told her how not so great it was a month or so ago. My table was clean and it was nice and peaceful even with a large party they just seated. I will give them another chance in the future. I hope they keep Teonia and Alexa at that location. They were what I am used to in the food service industry.

People were literally sitting under this lamp

DO NOT GO HERE!! Nasty and slow service. If I could give ZERO stars, I would! My recent visit to Red Lobster was by far one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had. Let's start with our server, Natasha. She was extremely slow, unresponsive, and lacked any sense of urgency or attentiveness. We sat there for long stretches of time without refills, updates, or even basic check-ins. It honestly felt like she forgot about us half the time. The food? HORRIBLE AND UNSEASONED. It was warm -- not hot -- and the only reason we even stayed to eat it was because we didn't want to ruin the special occasion we were celebrating. The starter options were beyond disappointing, heavily lobster-based with little variety for anyone who doesn't want seafood overload -- and what we did try was honestly disgusting. The fried were warm and the grilled Shrimp wasn't seasoned. The sweet chili shrimp was the only option that's basic yet generic tasting. We were in this restaurant for THREE HOURS -- not because we wanted to be -- but because that's how slow everything was moving. To make matters worse, the bathroom was absolutely revolting. The stench of mold mixed with some weird sweet water smell was gag-worthy. For a restaurant of this chain's reputation, that is completely unacceptable. The manager? Unprofessional and not assertive at all. She didn't even introduction herself. It was clear our server, Natasha, was overwhelmed and should have had help, but management was nowhere to be found in properly supporting their staff. The seating situation was also terrible. The overall environment was uncomfortable -- and to top it all off, there was literally a lamp hanging from the ceiling by a wire. Not secured. Not fixed. Just hanging. Absolutely ridiculous. Between the poor service, subpar food, disgusting bathroom, and overall disappointing atmosphere -- I wouldn't recommend this Red Lobster location to my worst enemy. DO BETTER RED LOBSTER. This was embarrassing!!!

Including my other favorite, red snapper. The menu has a ton of options. I kept it light and just ordered the basa sandwich and a side of fried okra. Love me some okra! The basa sandwich did not disappoint! They give 3 nice size pieces of fish. Perfectly fried. Not greasy. It was hard to tell what all I could have on my sandwich since that wasn't visible on the menu but the owner insisted I could build it however I want. So I did mustard, lettuce, tomato, cheese on a bun. I got my tarter sauce & hot sauce on the side. She served my sandwich w/o the cheese due to it not over powering thr flavor. I was too hungry to care so I ate it anyway. I can eat it with out without but since she didn't charge me for the cheese, I didn't complain. It was so good I never sat it back down once I picked it up. Sandwich in one had, my free hand grabbing the fried okra bites. The fried okra was also fried perfectly but could have used a little more flavor. Sometimes it's tricky with okra bc too much seasoning will make it unbearable. I'd rather it have less seasoning than too much. Would order it again! I also grabbed a lemon pound cake. Not sure it if was actually lemon and couldn't say anything while there since I ate it once I got home. The size of the piece was huge but was more on the dry side and didn't taste lemony. Could have been traditional pound cake. They have a lunch special for $10 I saw on the street sign while leaving. I'm definitely coming back! Damn near once a month if I can. But will for sure be a regular. It's located in a plaza so there's plenty of parking!

We ordered the Sol Sunrise and the Berry Delish - Both were not only good but strong as well. Our waitress was polite and offered some good recommendations on what to get. We ended up getting the Salmon and Waffles w/ "Homestyle Fries" (roasted potatoes). The Salmon was perfectly seasoned with a nice crunch to it. The waffle was fine - Didn't look or taste like a fresh waffle but again it was fine. Those potatoes??? 10/10 - I could've just gotten those and would've been content since I'm an avid potato lover! Also, got the Sol All Star Breakfast. Waffle, Eggs, Turkey Bacon, and "Homestyle Fries." Everything was cooked as expected and taste was good. It's a nice brunch spot right at the boardwalk.

The restaurant was busy but not overly so. They were able to seat us right away. There were lots of delicious items on the menu. My friends all got the salmon (two grilled and one fried). I got the crabcake because I just have to be different, I guess. They brought out cornbread muffins with honey butter that were delicious. They were really soft and cake-like and the honey butter topping was awesome. Two of us got side salads for our side and they came out with the meal, which isn't my preference but the food came out quickly any way so it was fine. The side salads were MASSIVE. Lettuce, cheese, tomatoes and onions (removed from mine) in a huge bowl. Probably could have been a meal to itself. The food came out and there was some confusion on sides that were mismatched and all of the salmons were grilled (instead of the one fried). Everyone really enjoyed their meal. I kinda wish I had gotten the salmon because it looked amazing and really well seasoned. The crab cake I had was good too. I think it had their Garlic Parmesan Cream sauce on top. The crab cake was big and had plenty of crab. I think I would have preferred a traditional tartar sauce on the side. I got their mac and cheese for my other side. It was super creamy and cheesy. It was also topped with the garlic parmesan cream sauce. Very tasty. Service was good. Not ton of visits to the table but I don't think we ever wanted for anything. My total with tip was about $40 and I think it was worth it for all the food I got. Would be a fun place to return too! Good job, Sol'Delish!

I was impressed with the generous portion size and found both the fish and hush puppies to be well-prepared and not excessively oily and no disgusting silvery skin peeking through to literally turn my sensitive stomach.

I couldn't pass up the lovely desserts, so I tried the Tuxedo Cake for $5.99. The chocolate flavor was excellent, although I had anticipated a firmer more cheesecake like crust. My wait time was approximately 10 minutes, and the counter attendant was efficient. The ambiance is blah. Blue paint and a vaguely nautical tone. No bells and whistles, just there. The increasing tip pressure, particularly for take-out orders, has become very frustrating. This really detracts from the experience and I wonder if I don't tip, will they do something bad to my food? My concerns regarding the tipping dynamic are part of a larger issue. This place is just jumping on an already crowded bandwagon. Captain Steve's offers food at a reasonable price, and the service was prompt.
