    Shrimp dish.
    Julie S.

    The ambiance was nice, our server was excellent and the food was delicious. However, the one BIG negative was that the food dishes that had whole medium to large sized shrimp in them still had the "tails" on the shrimp!! You read that correctly. The shrimp dishes we received were served with the shrimp tails still on them. When my husband started eating his shrimp dish and he bit into one of the shrimp he quickly realized that there was a crunchy texture to it, one that there shouldn't have been considering the type of dish he was eating. When he spit out the piece of shrimp, he found that the tail on the shrimp had NOT been removed prior to adding it to the dish. This led me to check out the shrimp in my shrimp fettuccine Alfredo dish. Of course, that required me digging the shrimp out from under the pasta and fettuccine Alfredo sauce. Sure enough, all the shrimp still had their tales on them. Who makes a shrimp dish and leaves the tails on?? The Red Lobster in Fargo, ND. The shrimp tails are NOT meant to be eaten let alone cooked into a dish and then served to customers who are then required to dig around in their food to remove, said shrimp and then take off the tails before adding the shrimp back into their food before eating it. When I brought this up to the waitress, she asked the manager and the manager had the nerve to say that all of the Red Lobsters have been serving their shrimp in this manner for a year now. That is BS because I've eaten at several other Red Lobsters across the country and several other seafood restaurants, and they do not serve any type of shrimp dish with the shrimp tails still on them. So FYI to anyone who is planning to go eat at the Red Lobster in Fargo, North Dakota and might be considering ordering a shrimp dish. It would seem that whoever is running this restaurant and or the kitchen seem to feel it's perfectly fine to serve shrimp dishes/meals with the shrimp tails still on them. In the pictures below, you will see that it looks like in their table advertisement card that this shrimp dish looks like it still has the shrimp tails on them however, this dish appears to be that of a shrimp salad and not one that is covered in pasta and or a sauce, so you will not be caught completely unaware that when you bite into your shrimp you are likely to be biting into a shrimp tail too.

    The food was great and my server was so nice and respectful because my grandma wanted a different meal and she instantly got her, her meal right away with no hesitation and didn't cost us the ambiance was great and the temperature was perfect and comfy. You get your moneys worth when you go there.

    RED LOBSTER WAS A HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT! I can't believe how much they cut their portions yet prices are insane. Service was good but plates are easily cut in half compared to before will not visit again soon

    Great food , awesome staff, & great atmosphere. The steak pictured was a bit over cooked and dry but the manager & our waitress took care of everything. Portions are pretty good too. You get what you pay for imo.

    Shrimp and lobster Lobster & Shrimp Tacos

    I had the Lobster and Lobster & Shrimp Tacos . I thought when I had them in the past, they weren't breaded lobster and shrimp. I'm not a big fan of breading. However, they weren't bad. I just prefer the old version (lobster tacos, ) with food costs going up I'm imagining they change the recipe to keep the price in a similar range. My service was good, seafood is not a position that red lobster is able to Satisfy. and the waitress was very attentive as busy as she was. The place is clean and I only had to wait less than 20 min. Friday. It seems like my desire for unbreaded

After a day of running around Amazing Acres (if you don't know this place, haven't been there and have kids, please look it up and go, it's great for kids), my son in law, my daughter and my granddaughter and I went to Royal Buffet. My son in law treated which was super nice. Ok, plain and simple, this is a chinese buffet. It's a really good sized buffet too. I think my son in law took a loss on me though, because I couldn't even make a dent with the amount of food that this buffet has to offer. I did give it my best shot however. The food was good. I didn't necessarily care for the sushi, I didn't feel that it was particularly fresh, maybe it had been sitting out for a bit, so that wasn't my favorite. I will say that the shrimp, all of the different types that were out, were delicious and well prepared. The dumplings in place were hard on the edges and also appeared to be old. The egg rolls however, were crispy and tasty. Everything else that I tried was really good. There are a ton of items to choose from, I can't even list them all here. There's desserts, ice cream, american items and of course chinese items. I believe the price for an adult is 18.99, kids ages 2-5 are 7.99. I think for this price, the buffet is worth it. The place is clean, attractive and even the bathrooms were nice. So would I come back here? Yes, I would, though I would seriously have to not eat for a day to even try and get my monies worth. It's good, try it out.

It's small inside, but not matchbox small, with western movie posters tastefully decorating the walls and giving the space a fun, cozy atmosphere. Service was super friendly, and even with how busy they were, we never felt rushed. We decided to order two of the specials that night: a truffle spaghetti and a fish dish. Both were incredibly flavorful and perfectly cooked. We finished things off with a pistachio cannoli, which was also delicious. Street parking was easy to find this time of year, although we ended up walking over from our Airbnb. Definitely a fun find in Fargo!

The charcuterie plate and bread made for a great start. Nothing on the dessert menu sounded particularly enticing to me, but I recall there being tiramisu for anyone interested. I was impressed by the service--waitstaff clearly knew the menu and were very warm and welcoming on our first visit. The dining area is quite small, as was what I could see of the kitchen--but it's my understanding that the restaurant is moving into a bigger space this fall. Definitely would love to return and try more of the menu.

The server was friendly, but it was a little delayed on delivering of any drinks or water. They have a great salad bar that comes in conjunction with most meals. It is a little dark however and the salad bar is oddly low (and I am not exactly blessed in the height department). I ordered the prime rib. I think that is where this place is at! Get there so you an get in on this. It is FANTASTIC! Best prime rib that I have ever had! The side options are pretty boring. I tried the wild rice and it tasted like a boxed rice side so I wasn't a fan, but who cares about the side when you are loving on the prime rib. I would easily go back for that!

I've never sent a steak back before, but both my husband's and mine came out completely well done. When they replaced them, they came back rare. What was even more disappointing was that the staff seemed annoyed with us for bringing it to their attention. The asparagus was cold and had no flavor, the mushrooms were overcooked, and the bread was under cooked. At that point, we honestly couldn't eat our meals and felt so uncomfortable with the response we received that we just wanted to leave. Over $100 later, we left without eating dinner and now have to find somewhere else to eat on our anniversary. I understand that mistakes happen, but the way a restaurant responds to them makes all the difference. Unfortunately, this was one of the worst dining experiences we've ever had. They did comp one of our drinks but the drinks weren't the problem, it was the two expensive meals we did not eat.
