Red Lobster has consistent comfort food at all locations. Don got the two shrimp plate with the dragon shrimp and Walt's favorite shrimp. Don didn't love Walt's shrimp so he gave it to me. I liked it but think I typically like the regular fried shrimp better. The broccoli was perfectly cooked. I got the bacon wrapped scallops and a baked potato and both were good. The meal was a 3.5, but our server, Caddy, elevated it to 4.0. She was so friendly and helpful with info about the area as she learned we were from out of town. This made us feel really welcomed, The restaurant was clean and so were the rest rooms. read more

i ordered food to go and when i got there the food was ready and handed to me but unfortunately the rice for the salmon bowl was missing and i had to wait 15 mins to pay for the food. I was given attitude by the bartender working when asking if i could pay and she told me she was busy. i had to get a greeter to get the manager for me and he was no help either and just stared at me with a blank face when i told him i had been waiting to pay for 15 mins. horrible disappointed and will not be returning. read more

the food was decent, kinda cold by the time it arrived. we got here at 6:30 with reservation and didn't receive our food (just two pastas) until the time i'm typing this, 8:04. i understand being a little backed up. but this seems excessive read more

I ordered the mariners boil. And it was missing the lobster tail and the shrimp. But no harm no foul. Jake our server and sabrina! Were so so lovely and welcoming. I felt bad for being a bother but when you pay $50 for a meal i expect everything. When i told them it was missing those two ingredients they immediately went back to the kitchen and had both out to the table in less than 3 minutes for each item! They were both lovely people! Yes there was mistakes, but the customer service as far as fixing it was 10/10 and the ambiance was amazing read more

Nice location downtown Duluth near the William Irvin ship.An old Iron Ore ship that served the Duluth harbor and is now a museum.After our tour, we were all hungry and being close to the water made us more hungry for fish. This Red Lobster is decorated nicely.The dining area is spacious and clean.Our waitress Tammy was helpful in updating us on specials.We ordered two fish and chips and an ultimate feast.The fish was very well done.The fries were tasty and everything was fresh. The food is what's normal with Red Lobster as a chain.It is the layout and location of this restaurant that is attractive! If you are in Duluth stop on in and you won't be disappointed!! read more

I dig me some Red Lobster (my favorite chain) and this location did not disappoint. With COVID, they handled my reservation extremely well and we were promptly seated at a very clean table. This was followed by a friendly, courteous and prompt member of the wait team who certainly seemed to be going the extra mile to ensure we had no issues. Food was quick enough, fresh and portions were as expected. My ONLY issue was that the second round of biscuits took a little longer than my taste buds wanted but really, it was not late by any means. Well done RL, well done..... read more

Red Lobster on Canal Park handled a large party for us on 9/26/24. They prepared special menus for us and set up a separate area for us. The food was excellent, with many comments given by the guests. The waitress and waiters were all excellent and on top of all our needs. Katie the manager helped make this day come together and I can't thank her and her staff enough! read more

This food is ok. Very hit or miss. Approximately 3 months ago we went specifically to get the seafood boil, it was lukewarm and had no flavor it was very disappointing . The last time (1 month ago) I got the crab legs it was very good. The service was good both times. The setting is a typical Red Lobster. read more

What really stood out was the service. We entered on a Saturday evening with no reservations as a party of 8. We knew we'd have to wait. The host told us it would be a long wait, and I told him we could be treated as 2 parties of 4 if that made shorter wait times - no waiting for 2 adjacent tables that could be pushed together. He disappeared for a minute or so, and he must have worked some magic because he returned and seated us right away at a table large enough for our whole group! Our server was both professional and friendly, and very attentive even though I think his other tables were on the opposite side of the restaurant. My family -- ages 8 to 86 enjoyed the food, especially the biscuits, and it was all as you'd expect from a Red Lobster. The old warehouse building and the view of the lake were created a nicer atmosphere than a typical Red Lobster, but the friendly service really made it a great place for dinner. read more

Very excellent service. Attentive and nice! Food was also great. Ordered shrimps. Brussels sprouts were also memorable.

I love a good red lobster but this is not the one to go to. From the time I walked in we were "greeted" by staff that didn't seem happy to be there. We were told we would have over a 30 minute wait even though we put our name in early on OpenTable. I understand everywhere is short on staffing. I watched as an old couple in their 80's wanted their parking validated and when they asked for help, the staff just stood there and didn't offer any help. When we sat down the waitress brought us biscuits but never asked if we wanted a refill, didn't ask if we wanted refills on drinks either at any point. The food took forever due to a large party coming in at the same time and the food was not prepared the same way I have had at other red lobsters. (Such as the scampi just being thrown in a bowl) The whole experience was terrible and we will not be back to this particular location read more

We had dinner here while in town tonight and were very disappointed in the seafood. My Husband ordered the Admiral's Feast and the only thing cooked properly was the flounder, most of the seafood we ordered was over battered and undercooked. I ordered the Cajun chicken linguini alfredo and it was very good. We ordered the Hand-Breaded Calamari and it was horrible it was very greasy and definitely needed cooked longer. The one bright spot in our visit was our waitress Arrah B, she was a true delight. She was very attentive and suggested places for us to check out in the area. It may just have been an off night for the kitchen staff but the waitstaff was superb! read more

Red Lobster is understandably a chain place and I get that. Sure, they have their Cheddar Bay Biscuits and there iconic lobster tank, but when it comes to originality there isn't too much going on. But a few things though that I will highlight: they probably have the best Caesar salad I have had anywhere else. There is just something about that dressing with fresh cracked pepper that puts it over the top. There is a slight tang that makes it the best creamy caesar dressing. What I love most about the Duluth location for Red Lobster is the building that it is located in. Found in one of the old brick warehouses in the canal district, it is arguably one of the prettiest Red Lobsters out there. So if you like the food, I won't judge. Every now and then I crave a biscuit and some AYCE shrimp too. read more

service was horrible couldn't "find the bartender" took awhile to get a seat because the host was nowhere to be found

My salmon and loaded baked potato were incredible. However, it took an hour to get our food. I don't know if that's a fluke or no. My husband had endless shrimp but they never came back with the endless part. Also, it is so hard to navigate the allergen menu. It would be nice if they could label on menu. read more

Could renew the place. Bread is good. People were ok. We went before rush. Good idea to go before rush. read more

You can see from our receipt that we ordered quite a bit of food. The portions (from a year ago same time) were far smaller. For example, the baked potato was the size of two very small red potatoes. It came out last. Fish came out first. Tilapia was decent size but that's the only portion that was normal sized. The fish and chips only had one piece of fish. Other area restaurants are two. Our reservation was at 6:15pm. We left there at 8:30. Very long wait for food. The calamari used to be my favorite app. It used to be deep fried with broccoli pieces as well. It came out as just calamari rings without any broccoli pieces. Not worth $12. We waited for almost two hours for our food to come out. The lobster roll is not like the hoagie roll it appears to be in the picture or like any lobster roll on the east coast. This was $10 and laughable as it was a petite roll that came out in a small oval bowl. Our waiter was super nice and friendly. Knew we waited so gave us 2 desserts to go. I think he may have had too many tables because he would disappear for quite awhile and I would not see him (and we sat outside of the door that goes to the kitchen). Maybe he had tables on the other side who knows. The calamari was getting cold and I was hoping to flag him down for cocktail sauce but had to ask a manager walking around. I don't fault him at all. I think he did the best he could. I think the kitchen was stacked but if it was backed up, we should have been told. Basically, there are far less commercialized restaurants in the area where you can have a far better, fresher meal that is of normal proportions. Take a ride over to Eddies in Superior WI. Never, ever had a bad meal there and it would have been a 1/3 of the price. :) I won't be back to red lobster. Staple in Duluth but I am over it read more

Review for today, bad food and service 6/05/2019 Stopped in while vacationing with my daughter in two harbors, we have come to this red lobster in the past and had very good service and food........ today we were wanting really badly to have the soup and salad. We always enjoy olive gardens endless soup and salad, so we're excited to hear red lobster was offering it as well.. We got the most wonderful biscuits as always, then came the service she came to the table and handed us everything first off, so we had to pass down as it came and we were on a regular table, she even held our glasses of tea in front of us till we took them to pass, sad, never quite had a server do this with everything. Then first was lobster bisque, I did not like it, not only was it cool, it tasted like it was made from that nacho cheese in a can, so I set it aside. Then she brought out another bowl, hoping it was hotter than the first saying bowls were cold, which was also cool, then I gave that one to my hubby, next time I saw her I asked her if we could mix it so I ordered clam chowder, it also came out slightly warm but was still the best clam chowder I have had in awhile, lots of clams in it.. would have really been good hot, hubby then got a warm flavorful bacon potato soup he liked as well, just wish soups were heated up more.. then came service we think she literally took breaks in between the soups as long as it took, we had to ask for water refills and never got tea refilled so we got three half cup bowls of warm soup, salad, biscuits, one glass of tea for $16..... sooooo terribly disappointed, would really like our money back and start all over. This so sucked if it was not for the cheddar bay biscuits... read more

We were at red lobster in Duluth on Canal Park for a birthday celebration. Unfortunately, the sirloin steak and the green beans were hardly edible because of high salt application. To the credit of red lobster they did give us credit for one of the meals. However I was quite disappointed as this is not what we have experienced in the past and will probably not return there in the near future. read more

I don't normally write yelp reviews, but I was so happy with my service that I just had to! The food was good. Your standard Red Lobster sea food meal, but our server was amazing. I was having a rough night and Cola, our waitress, made it so much better. She was attentive, kind, and funny. She made a great night out of a difficult one without even trying to. I hope management appreciates having a server like this on staff. read more

Likes: Service, everything else about most Red Lobsters, and they gave me a chocolate cake slice with ice cream for my birthday! They also are clean, and it being in an old factory building gave it a gorgeous look! (I think most factory buildings look pretty ugly, but this one is an exception!) Dislikes: The long wait, but bring something to do like puzzles and you will be great! read more

First time I came to red lobster during their all you can eat shrimp. For 15 bucks it's a steal, I ate very well and had great service. Will definitely be back! read more

Service was decent did the all you can eat shrimp wasn't bad the Nashville shrimp had no heat just lots of honey so didn't care for it Was so dark could hardly read the menus read more

As a former industry worker I applaud people showing up to work these days and while in a pandemic! Service wasn't an issue. What happened to Red Lobster?! It used to be fine dining back in the day (way back). All could agree their biscuits are hands down the best thing on the menu - they were dry and lacked their signature flavor - 3 bites!!! Shrimp was disgusting (didn't have any expectations) lobster and crab were tasty however the baked potato was cold and undercooked. read more

I've been here a couple times, and comparing it to the one in Bloomington Minnesota, this location is the best! Even though their food is not fresh and farm raised, it still tastes pretty decent. Not too fishy! I love crab and lobster, but sometimes it just is wrong to eat when it is farm raised and tastes like you are licking an aquarium. The service here has always been decent too. This place gets super busy and be prepared to wait for a table! I love the lobsteritas... A huge, freaking, margarita with extra tequila on the side...what could be better? read more

Typical red lobster... If you go later on at night on friday or saturdays. Make sure there is not an UMD hockey game or other event going on your wait will be LONG. But they are very friendly there. read more

Met mom for lunch Friday while we were in town for the dog shows. She was already seated. It took Caitlin(?) several minutes to take my drink order and drop off a menu after I had looked at mom's menu. Mom had not yet ordered lunch, just special biscuits without cheese due to allergies. We ordered a coconut shrimp appitizer to share and salads that were dropped off immeadiatley after the app. and the waitress had not yet brought me a roll of silverware. We both got the salad with dried cranberries, blueberries, candied nuts (I added the blue cheese) with a blueberry vinegrette. I found the dressing way too acidic with the dried fruit and was glad I only put it on half of my salad. It took the waitress a long time to return and by the time she did I just wanted a to-go container with french and blue cheese dressing for the remainder of the salad. Mom's allergies were accomodated and they made her biscuits without cheese before I arrived. I was never brought any regular biscuits and was disappointed. It appeared there were plenty of staff yet service was very slow and not friendly. I saw a gentleman nearly trip over a hokey that was leaning out of a dark corner. No wi-fi even tho Red Lobster was listed in my secured connections. The waitress told me that was probably the hotel...no, it says red lobster. Very disappointing for a Red Lobster which is usually a consistant chain. read more

I ordered the fisherman's platter. It came with a salad and said salad was obviously old and tomatoes were wrinkled and off. We arrived at 11 am. Lettuce was wilted. Shrimp was small and few in number. The fish was a narrow strip and very thin. Will not return- was not worth the money- read more

Checks all the boxes for a seafood chain in a tourist town. The wait was long but the food was good.

1st time coming to a red lobster and i understand coronavirus and i work in retail. called ahead and was pit on the waitlist. got to the restaurant and the 2 ladies at the hostess stand just looked at eachother and said oooh you have quite a ways to go. they said you should probably try someplace else. losing 1 customer isnt a problem but you respond to customers in the long run and you wont have any cuztomers. youre in a customer service business and your favorite word is no. not a good way to run a business. read more

Why is it so dark in here? Went at 11am on a sunny day and it was dark. Please open the blinds! It's standard for Red Lobsters. Nice staff, fine food. Strong Long Island iced teas. We know we all come for the Cheddar Bay Biscuits. read more

This is the most impressive red lobster I've been too. The building has a nice old feel, the service was great, and the meals came in good time. There were many more meal options on this menu than I've ever seen In the previous red lobster locations I've been too. Food was delicious! Recommend 100% read more

pretty disappointed on how my experience was here. The food took over an hour to get. the waiters were rude. do not recommend!

If you are looking for a fine dining experience, this is not the place! Upon walking in, the smell of the cloudy and dirty lobster tank was incredibly overwhelming! The tables are out dated and had white glass rings stains on them. The silverware is cheap, along with the thin paper napkins they are wrapped in. The food ok at best. Do NOT order the Bloody Mary! The Bloody Mary comes with tomato juice (add your own pepper from the table) a small amount or rail vodka, a green olive and a lemon wedge, oh along with two hamburger slice pickles in a condiment cup; a beer snit is not coming so don't ask. The location is great, our waitress was attentive and did a good job. Duluth is a great town with some really great restaurants, but NOT (big chain) Red Lobster! If you want to spend your money and are looking for a good meal and a great dining experience, support local restaurants; you will find entrepreneurs that care, you will get way better food and a lot more for your buck!! read more
