I am a sucker for those cheddar bay biscuits so you can't tell me anything bad about Red Lobster. It was also my late mother's favorite restaurant, so I admit I'm biased. After talking about said biscuits one afternoon, we decided to go to Red Lobster and it was actually a great experience. Our waiter was terrific and very efficient. My shrimp trio (fried, scampi and pasta alfredo) was tasty. Of course it's not like eating at a seafood restaurant by the shore but everything was prepared well and the portions were generous so I took the pasta home and had it for lunch the next day. The restaurant was clean and also decorated for the holidays and have a great vibe overall. I'm a fan of the Danbury Red Lobster. read more

Endless Shrimp is back again for a limited time. Priced higher than it was, but I think it's still worth it. $29.99 per person. We enjoyed the Shrimp Scampi, Mary Me Shrimp, and the Shrimp Alfredo. Service was friendly, although a little slow at 3 p.m. on Saturday. Food was good, portions were decent, and the value is good. So make yourself hungry so it's worth it. read more

Food was good--a bit pricey. Three meals was over $100. Service was very good. Thank you Joshua. read more

We asked for iced tea and we were brought soda. The popcorn shrimp seemed like it came from the frozen food section at the grocery store. The shrimp Alfredo was microwaved, it was clumped together. The shrimp scampi wasn't good enough either. The best thing on my plate was the ketchup and the cocktail sauce. The fries weren't that great either. The silverware and cups had residue. There was no smell of food cooking. Very unprofessional, yelling, cursing with in ear shots of the customers. I am beyond disappointed. This is the first time I left a Red Lobster disgusted read more

I kicked off dinner with Whispering Angel Rosé and shared a boomerang for Instagram (@adventurous_vibras). As a seafood enthusiast, I had shrimp scampi, fried shrimp, and crab legs, all delicious! I loved your amazing bread, but couldn't replicate it at home just wasn't the same! read more

I was pleasantly surprised with my experience at Red Lobster. I have never been to any location. I've always wanted to go for the Endless Shrimp and finally took the opportunity. The restaurant was clean and the staff was friendly. Our waiter Jon did a great job. The manager was around the restaurant and was helping clear plates when needed. The food was great. We tried most except for the Crispy Dragon which was sadly unavailable. My favorite was Garlic Shrimp Scampi followed by the Shrimp Alfredo. The Alfredo came with pasta. It was honestly better than sone Italian restaurants I've had it in. The Shrimp Rangoon was ok but fell short of expectations. Then of course, the Cheddar Biscuits. Fresh in the restaurant is much better than making them from the box at home. Really good experience overall. Will definitely be returning to try the Lobster Bisque and a few other items. read more

My husband ordered Steak and Maine Lobster Tail with two sides. The picture showed a good sized Tail (8 oz) and piece of steak. What he got was a 4 oz Tail. Three bites of meat and gone. Price 42.99. They won't be seeing us again. The service however, was great. Eldridge was a dinner and a show! Made our day! read more

walked in 10 mins ago no one to greet me walked around seen 5 tables seated in while Resturant I look in the kitchen seen staff making out I immediately walked away what type of service is going on here you really need to do better I was looking to forward to having some seafood so disappointed 0/10 I was highly disappointed and will never go back if your wondering why your business isn't as busy review your camera and thank me later not good read more

I came to this establishment to try the new menu items which was very good by the way. The service is always impeccable with the server named Connor. Maybe you can check him out at the bar area he makes a great drink. I tried the margarita flight which was tequila of course and I also tried the under the sea. Which was also very great tasting. Very colorful and great tasting beautifully mixed drinks. read more

One star for the dragon and coconut shrimp (and biscuits) and one for our server who I believe was named Paul. He was great, charismatic and informative. Very friendly. One star off for the hair in my drink that I still had to pay for, another for the dirty glasses and a third for the fact that the lobster and shrimp tacos came only with shrimp. We love Red Lobster and really wanted to enjoy it, but this experience was just not it. The side Caesar salad was soggy and had a bit of brown lettuce and the coleslaw didn't taste like much either. It felt like it was missing seasoning. The biscuits were great, but I think I would have got up and left if they weren't. The lobster and shrimp tacos were good, but would have been nice if they actually came with lobster. My sunset colada was great, but there was a hair in it which was gross and then the mango gunk settled into the drink and it just tasted like fake mango flavoring. I guess I would have done better with just a piña colada. We arrived at 9 pm and it was still super busy. Music was chill and eventually we were the last to leave, but that was less on us and more on how long everything took. Even the drinks took forever to come out. Overall bummed that this wasn't a great experience. read more

Krystof is the total man! Fun and great server food was amazing highly recommend! Total re vamp of menu everything was hot and fresh.

Don't order the fish and chips here. Red Lobster, which specializes in seafood, will serve you two warmed up Gorton's fish filets from the supermarket freezer section, for your $21. I would have thought they could at least serve fresh fish at a place called Red Lobster. I could have had the same disappointing meal at home for a fraction of the cost. Also the hush puppies are tiny, which means they are completely over cooked when they reach your plate. If I could give zero stars, I would. I'm amazed they're still open, serving garbage like this. read more

Ambiance- typical of any chain restaurant. Super busy. Darker vibes here than let's say Olive Garden. Service- 1. We waited 20-25 minutes for our waiter/waitress to arrive. 2. When our waiter did come, he was incredible. We were not upset at him at all. It seems more of a communication issue between staff. Greg ended up being our server and we were incredible impressed by his attentiveness and knowledge. Great job for him! Food- we came for the carb stuffed shrimp rangoons. We were very disappointed in that. We also didn't love the bay scallops. They were very much over cooked. However, the rest of the food was delicious. I loved the coconut shrimp and the Alfredo. read more

My boyfriend and I came here to enjoy our birthday (his June 22 and mines June 24). We came to this location on my birthday, long story short my boyfriend had asked the waitress if they can sing Happy Birthday to me. The waitress told him they couldn't because they were under staffed, he said okay. Few minutes later, we hear the "under staff" singing Happy Birthday to someone across from us. At this point, we had already finished our food so we got up and my boyfriend told the waitress why she lied to him about being under staff when clearly y'all wasn't. Manager or whoever she was, came to us asking what happened we explained the situation. The manager, gave me a business card she had wrote (2 free meals) for our next visit. I told her this isn't going to fix the issue, she lied to us but yet sang happy birthday to someone else. We felt so disappointed on how we were treated especially on our special day, it killed the moment for us. We definitely won't be going back. read more

Was in the area for a night, I stopped in on a business trip, my family has been coming to the franchise for years and i must say it has gone way downhill. WOW. Our server Paul was a nice guy..but very slow, the food was cold, the prices have drastically increased over the years.He disappeared on us for over 20 minutes. Last but not least this is suppose to be a family restaurant the bathrooms were disgusting. STAY AWAY! read more

The food, drinks and service we great! This was our first time there and we weren't sure what to expect, but we had a great time and will definitely go back again soon! read more

First -- our service was attentive and responsive -- no complaint there. The Food. Was less than mediocre. The lobster tails were very small and overcooked, hard to remove from the shell. Scallops, shrimp were very bland. Seriously no flavor. My husbands sirloin was fine. The restaurant was 1/2 empty on a Saturday night. I understand why. There's a much better way to spend $100. read more

We tried restaurant again, even though we had a bad experience several months back here. We had Mr. Paul as our server who was kind enough to give us free dessert for my son. But he gave dirty look to my wife after only 15% tip. I am out of work and my wife work two jobs. We do not need to feel guilty by him. read more

First time in YELP history I revised from a 1-star to a 5-star. This place has really stepped it up, and I attribute it to our server named Christopher. We went in on 7/12/21 and this young man was personable, efficient and attentive. In addition to the great service, the food was spot on! We ordered 1 beer during happy hour, 1 All-You-Can-Eat shrimp meal, and 1 popcorn shrimp meal. Price including tax, $34! We left gorged! Nice going Red Lobster for turning it around! read more

Came in here today for the first time and it smelled so bad I instantly felt ill, and had to leave. Smelled strongly like urine was so bad I actually threw up...Wait staff seemed kind, but we had to leave almost immediately. read more

Footed was cooked perfectly. We had all you can eat shrimp and 1 chicken Parmesan. All was very good and cooked to perfection. The wait staff were attentive and catered to our needs. We have a child that has to take medicine before eating and they accommodated us immediately. We were given extra biscuits with out having to ask. The place was clean and as soon as a table left it was cleaned. No delay. We were all very happy with our meals read more

The food was really good, but our server came by infrequently and it took a while for the food to come out. We ordered the coconut shrimp, scallops, salmon, and shrimp scampi. All of it was perfectly cooked and well seasoned. Our toddler loved all of it!! We also had the lobster bisque. There was no lobster to be found, which is common, but disappointing. The flavor was decent, but far from the best lobster bisque I've had. The cheddar bay biscuits are amazing, as always! We'll definitely be back. read more

I stopped here to eat for lunch, and Lisa was my server. She was so great. Her customer service was one of the best I've ever experience. She has a great personality.

Cheddar Bay Biscuits, need I say more? I guess I should, but those biscuits are just so yummy. Anyway, we went to Red Lobster two weeks ago for my grandmother's 90th birthday. This is her favorite chain restaurant and her choice for birthdays and anniversaries. My mom called ahead to let them know there would be seven of us and they said that would be no problem. We arrived just shortly before 5pm on a Friday. Unfortunately, I have been finding that these types of restaurants don't have the hype they once used to. 5 years ago at the same time there would be a forty minute wait. We were seated right away and there were probably about 6 other tables in the whole restaurant with people dining. Our waitress came over and took our order promptly, as we explained that we were out for a birthday dinner. She eloquently took notes on what we were having, sides, substitutions, etc. When the food came out, everything was correct and there was nothing missing. Kudos! I got the Salmon New Orleans and it was amazing. The salsa on top was perfect, the salmon cooked correctly, and the sides were an amazing pairing. I love this place and the cheddar bay biscuits. read more

I had a gift card to Red Lobster so my boyfriend and I decided to try it even though we were less than enthusiastic about the prospect. I'm a big salmon eater so I went with the New Orleans salmon with mashed & broccoli on the side. Boyfriend got the "crab lovers dream" Pros: cheddar bay biscuits, service was decent, mashed potatoes were good (how could mashed potatoes be bad though?), $6.49 for a big 20 oz beer Cons: had to wait 15 minutes even though there were plenty of open tables everywhere we looked. My boyfriend's food came out incorrect. When we told our server he promptly switched it for the correct meal which appeared to be sitting under the heat lamp for awhile due to the hardened up looking pasta sauce. I will post a side by side of the meal pictured on the menu and what he got, very pathetic looking skinny crab legs. Pathetic looking overall. My salmon was good but slightly overlooked. My boyfriend's beer came out with a 2 inch head of foam... what a waste read more

Literally every time we come here my husband and I say we are never going back. But some how we wound up back there. We took the kids bc we were going to the Danbury carnival but didn't want carnival food. The hostess seated us right away, our waitress came over to take our drink order in a timely manner. I first put my kids orders in with our drinks so their food would come out fast. Both had Mac & Cheese and fries. Drinks came but no biscuits. Hubby and I both ordered the Monday special which was all you can eat shrimp. I got the fried shrimp & shrimp scampi; he ordered the shrimp scampi and shrimp skewers. Still no biscuits bc they were "in the oven". We both had salad with our order - this for me was the best part of my experience. It came out fast and the dressing was tasty - I know, it's dressing, how could it not be tasty. My kids meals came out - I wish I had snapped a pic... the portion was so small I don't think it would fill up a 2 year old. My kids are (almost) 5 & 7... they can eat!!! Once they finished their Mac n Cheese they were still hungry. Still no biscuits. At this point we needed refills, I actually think our waitress went on a 30 min break bc she was no where to be seen for at least 30 min. I asked the hostess who was seating a few ppl if she could get my waitress, she said she would, but she didn't come back to our table for at least another 5 min. Finally the biscuits arrived and the kids chowed down bc they were still hungry. Our shrimp came out at least an hour later. We practically inhaled our food bc we wanted to get out of there. The shrimp (both styles) were extremely salty and sat very heavy in our stomachs. Ugh. I need to read this review the next time I want to go to RL. read more

Went to Danbury location & was disappointed in food. We ordered the surf & turf, the steaks were extremely small & not correct, order two filets & got strip, the steaks were dried out & no taste, the lobster tails were sliced in 1/2, the veggies were either under cooked or mush (3 dinners). Ran out of wine that was ordered & the drink that were order 99% soda. Alot of $$$ for substandard dinner. Will NEVER go again & advise not to waste your time at this establishment. Only good experience was waiter, very nice young man. read more

Came in here today with my dad after visiting westconn and i have to say we really had a great experience! From the moment we walked in we were greeted and taken care of. Our hostess was super friendly and attentive. Our server, Lisa, was also great! She was nice, fast, and knowledgeable. She went over all the side options for me without even having to ask. Lisa got our food out really quickly! We had biscuits almost as soon as we walked in. Our appetizer which was oysters was great (and I think it was only like 10 bucks too). For lunch I had a pick two. I had shrimp and scallops with rice on the side. The rice was banging! I literally loved the rice like so much. We also had salad, which I didnt even know was included! I would be in here all the time if it was closer. I just wish they didnt have the live lobsters in the tank, it makes me soo sad :/ read more

Very disappointed. My first visit ever to any RL. I'll start at the end the only good thing about this place was the service and the staff. I ordered the linguine Alfredo with crab Seven maybe eight minutes after we placed the order the food came out. My dish was terrible the linguine was under cooked and there was hardly any sauce and the crab definitely came out of a can. how do you screw up pasta and cream sauce. She had the something seafood with The smallest seafood I've ever seen scallops that look like peas to me she ate some of it. I stopped eating mine after two bites and my dining companion knew this was a terrible dish. When we asked the waiter to take it off the check he didn't hesitate. He said he guessed a manager but he came back 30 seconds later with a revised bill. They've obviously had this issue before. We paid the check left a appropriate tip for the waiter because it wasn't his fault what came out of the kitchen and then we left never to return to any Red Lobster. To us it was the McDonald's of seafood fast food. We're going to need some wet wipes for both entrance and exit you know what I'm saying people right. read more

In a mood for seafood, we decided to go to red lobster for an enjoyable dinner. The attention we got from our waiter was excellent and he was very efficient. For a late date night we were surprised how many lil babies were there; it was 830 pm on a Saturday! Loud!!! At any rate, we ordered the lobster pizza, salmon, and some drinks. The biscuits were just as we recalled from down south - delicious! Positives: 1. Both salmon entrees were generous, flavorful, and fair priced. 2. Sides were fine- veggies and baked potatoes. 3. Drinks fair priced- premium liquor and sangria. 4. Clean seating. 5. Attentive waiter. Negatives: 1. My girl was greeted in a rough manner by the male kid host. No need as we understood it was busy. 2. The lobster pizza was way overpriced for the very small size and intermittently placed lobster pieces. 3. Side salads were pretty stingy. 4. Very noisy with all the little kids. 5. A cold draft kept hitting my girl at our table. Overall the entrees were good and generous so we would return if in the area again. The experience- inclusive of the service- deserves 4 stars. read more

We went here for a late Sunday night dinner. One member of the party (fine, it was me) held everything up by getting stuck in traffic in New York. Our waitress, Jennifer, was super patient and kept everyone else settled with cheddar bay biscuits. She also gave us a complimentary bag for the road - yum! The food was good - lobster artichoke dip was hot, the lobster cream baked potato was delicious and creamy (worth the extra $3.99). As far as the food, the only complaint is it would have been nice if someone had deveined the fried shrimp. The wait time for food, considered it was Sunday night and the restaurant was half empty, seemed pretty long. Fifteen to twenty minutes for dessert, when it's just being put on the plate and sprinkled with chocolate sauce, seems exorbitant. The bathroom was really clean, and parking was super easy. Of course, having been there before I know that's not the case if you're planning to go on a Friday or Saturday. read more

The newyork steak with lobster tail is the best. I have been here five or six times. This is a must-have dish. read more

I don't understand how and why things you're not Stellar this place was absolutely amazing! We called ahead of time they take reservations I see a lot of people happy in this place.
