I had the Cajun chicken pasta. The pasta was overcooked no flavor. The chicken had no flavor, even though it looked like it was seasoned steel. I had no flavor. Everything was bland. Only thing that was good was my strawberry lemonade. read more

They have the best Piña colada sauce for their coconut shrimp! Their garlic cheddar biscuits are always a highlight as well.

The food was fine. The service was great, but the price is pretty steep. I can understand why the prices for the food were high, but what they charge for drinks (sodas and tea) are ridiculous. read more

Shrimp scampi was delicious, service was great and I definitely enjoyed the ambiance. Was able to sit in a small private booth of my choice so they were accommodating. We definitely come here and again and would recommend this spot as a good one let's keep this establishment around read more

Annmarie is one of the best servers I've had my family was very happy. She was on it with the refills and biscuits. She asked about appetizers, salads, special drinks, and desserts which I liked. She has a great happy personality that just lights up a room. read more

very good service and amazing drinks from our bartender Taylor! salmon New Orleans is my favorite!

We walked in about 2 weeks ago more than half the restaurant was covered in blue tarps with roof leaks. But still trying to serve and do business as usual. We did not stay and this will probably be one of the next round of closures coming up read more

Just placed order to and server Mary B in Forsyth illinois was very helpful and friendly, love coming here.

Arrived and was promptly seated, several minutes later the hostess came over and asked what we wanted for drinks. After we had been sitting for 15 minutes I asked an employee to help us find our server, the hostess came over with some biscuits and stated our server had been on break and would be right over. Ok. After we had been sitting for 30 minutes without ever being approached by a server we just got up and left. I doubt they even knew we were there. read more

We waited a little longer than expected but once our server, Alexa brought our food out to us the food was amazing.

We went to Red lobster first time in over a year. The service was mediocre and she forgot to bring my husbands salad. When she brought it out food was right behind it. We both had all you can eat shrimp, they were out of one of the choices. All in all it was a decent experience. I was read more

First off I'm looking for a drink and my server Roger suggests the prickly pear margarita. It was delicious! I ordered shrimp and sirloin with broccoli. Everything was to perfection! My dinner came with a garden salad and cornbread cheddar muffins! Roger was a fantastic server, took great care of me. I here from out of town on my own! Highly recommend! Leaving with the lobster pizza appetizer for a friend. Yummy! read more

first let me say, service was super friendly... BUT, my martini was not a martini...and as much as I hate to send food back, I had to send my mussels back! The mussels were soooo fishy. I know I'm from the east coast so I'm used to super fresh seafood, but I've liked the mussels at olive garden before... these were inedible. My cousins steak was over cooked but they quickly fixed that. Everyone else seemed to enjoy their food and they took my mussels off. So ok, service great, food eeh, and apparently they don't really have martinis?!!! read more

Not only was this the WORST service my husband & I ever had, it was the WORST food we have ever had. Our server was named Nadia, WORST waitress we have ever had ANYWHERE. First off, our table was filthy. There was greasy butter all over the table and there was rice stuck to my menu underneath. Then, she only brought one straw when there was 3 of us. I ordered a Pepsi for my beverage and she kept saying "Pepsi, right?" But kept brining me Diet Pepsi. Not only that, she dropped our salt shaker on the floor and still gave us that one. We got the calamari for an appetizer and it was the worst calamari we've ever had. It also came with sauce (that's what it said on the menu) which we didn't get and had to ask for. We had to ask for silverware and never got any napkins and she carried the utensils on her dirty carrying tray. We also had to ask for more biscuits. I ordered shrimp scampi, crab cakes, crab and bacon wrapped scallops: she said "the crab cakes weren't coming out right" and had to order something else, and I didn't get my bacon wrapped scallops- I got something else that I didn't order. I had to wait on those to be made. All we got was a small corner piece of a brownie as an apology. On top if it, the women's bathroom was disgusting: their feminine garbage cans were over flowing with feminine products. read more

Food has gone down hill. Soup wasn't hot and it tasted sour. Salad was warm and lettuce looked like got swept off the floor and served. The only good and edible meal was the dessert probably because it was store bought. the server was nice clearly wasn't her fault. The place needs upgrade and cleanliness. read more

The Killeen Red Lobster has wonderfully prepared entrees, and the best service I've experienced in a "chain" restaurant. They make you feel like your date night is in a luxurious 5 star boutique eatery. Thus review is for the Killeen, Texas location. read more

I cannot believe the experience that I had here at this restaurant. Upon receiving my food, there was a bunch of hair sitting off to the side. Literally like someone pulled or cut their hair off and sat it there. Not only that I had began to eat the food but what makes things even worse, I asked for a refund and was totally shocked that I couldn't get it due to some of the food was eaten. I am beyond upset I'm pissed off. My bill along with my family was over 100$. This is ridiculously crazy. I won't be back. I couldn't even get a refund of the food that was contaminated with someone's hair. That's the least you guys could have done. What happens if I get sick. OMG I am totally out done Red Lobster. read more

Been here for over an hour, still no food. Waitress is pleasant, came by 4 ties in the past 20 minutes and stated that the food is almost out. I wonder what would happen if they were really busy. read more

Disappointed! We didnt even get a chance to sit down before being asked what to drink. Asked for water with lemon and had to ask all 3 different waiters for lemon that i never got. everytime someone came it was someone new. the bread was old and hard, when something on my plate was brought after bc they forgot and it was absolutely disgusting i wasnt even offered a replacement or even discounted. the last waiter was new and it was a all " ughh so yea what did you want or ughhh i dont know its my first day ummm so yea this and that eyes rolling lip smacking" Nope never going back. Food is horrible and the service is worse!!! read more

What a horrible experience. Service was terrible. Drinks didn't arrive until 3/4 completion of our meal. Another refill of ice tea was sweet rather than the ordered unsweetened. The appetizer came out with the dinner meal. The server argued with my husband regarding the supposed "fresh tomatoes" omitted from the bar harbor lobster bake (reported on the menu, but the manager denied this was included). The lobster bisque didn't contain a lick of lobster and the "bowl", larger serving contained about 4 tablespoons. Decatur has struggled no doubt in the restaurant industry during the pandemic, but one would expect the chains to keep up. read more

The wait staff is very pleasant however management is lacking. At 1:00 pm on a Saturday afternoon, the restaurant was already out of key menu items. The only salad available was the Caesar salad. Five minutes after I ordered brussel sprouts I was informed that they had none. The server was unaware that were no brussel sprouts. Very disappointed. read more

For moms favorite dinner shrimp scampi and her 87th birthday we went for an hour drive from Lincoln Arrived and out choice didn't want to sit in bar moved to restaurant seating and about 7-8 mins later waitress came ordered drinks then over 20 mins we waited for drinks and mom wanted a drink before food not with food she's 87 it's her day!!! I went to bar and the bar tender was serving tables several tables and not making drinks Mom canceled her birthday drink as salads came So 2 thinks 1. Let the bartender bartend! Not neglecting other wait staff for her own tips and service 2. The manager walked out only a few times to hostess area walked back in and never ever never walked the restaurant yet alone stop over and talk I didn't want anything except to say if your bartender is waiting tables at 6:15 pm then you make drinks or have someone help!!! By the way our waitress was fantastic and food was fine the experience and stress for mom was horrible Thanks sorry so long Dan read more

My wife and I went at about 4:30 on a Monday afternoon. She wanted king crab legs. The were out so she decided on jumbo shrimp. They were out. So we went to Texas Roadhouse. At least we could be sure they were not going to be out of Steak read more

Let me start by saying the service was great. She really busted it to take care of our party of eight. But there were a couple of issues when we dined on a Sunday night. There wasn't much of a wait, which was great. The restroom was a dump, though, and they were out of toilet paper - thankfully I didn't use the facility for that purpose. Secondly, they brought out an incorrect appetizer. Other than that, no qualms. read more

My wife and I were in town and wanted to have some seafood. So we decided to have our craving satisfied at Red Lobster. It was a date night for us. When the hostess asked what we preferred we asked for a booth. She proceeded to sit us next to a large family with a bunch of kids. The kids were running around their table and not listening to their parents. Once that family left we were able.to finally enjoy our time. The food was really good and the server was great. I just dont understand what that hostess was thinking sitting us there. read more

I am vegan & do not enjoy going here because I don't like to see the live lobsters in the tank. I also am not big on chain restaurants and like them even less after being here. My husband and a friend of ours enjoy this place however & we had several gift cards for Darden restaurants from a well-meaning family member so we went. This was on 06-03-2012. We had just moved back to the area and wanted to go out to eat with the aforementioned friend. They were pretty busy when we first got there and our waiter apologized, but we told him to take his time. The drinks were a little slow getting out, but I gave them the benefit of the doubt. I ordered a side salad which was very good. It also may have been due to eating total junk during our hectic move days just prior. They seemed to be happy with their salads as well. When dinner finally came, the restaurant wasn't so crowded anymore. I was served my plain baked potato & side of asparagus. I was happy they had asparagus! But the dinners brought to my husband & friend were not what they ordered. It was then I realized my husband's appetizer also did not come out. My husband was pretty upset & told the waiter. Our waiter went and got the manager. She finally showed up and then they were slowly given menus to just start over and reorder their meals. I felt caught in the middle because my husband was very angry, but I could also sympathize with the waiter. I am still not sure if it was a mistake on his part or on behalf of the kitchen. I used to wait tables and bartend myself so I could relate. My husband's food finally came out. It was a shrimp pasta I believe with an alfredo sauce. He told me it wasn't very good at all, but I wish he had just sent it back entirely. It looked to me like the sauce was broken and that it had been sitting awhile. I don't even recall what his appetizer was because it also wasn't anything spectacular. He was almost done eating when our friend's food finally came out. I don't think he had any complaints just because he was so hungry by this point. The waiter was a very nice man. I think it is possible that he just had a bad night or the kitchen gave him the wrong food. He said that mine was sitting with the dinners that were wrong that were brought out the first time. I just felt rude for eating when they had nothing, but it would have gotten cold. The manager wasn't all that professional to me in her dress or demeanor. She did take all but the awful the pasta dish off the bill, but left our drinks on. She did ask me if it were alright, but what was I going to say?? In hindsight I should have been more demanding. My husband had excused himself to the restroom and I was holding all of the gift cards in my purse. I also had a coupon for $4 off two entrees, but didn't even end up asking to use it because there were no longer two dinners on the check. I feel she should have just wiped out the entire thing. It was a much more hellish experience than I can even describe. If we didn't have to pay for those beers and nasty pasta, we might have been going back & this would be a much nicer review. So I hand the gift cards to the waiter to pay. I asked if I could use my credit card to tip him because I had no cash and wasn't sure how this was going to work with the gift cards. My friend offered to leave a tip in cash though. When we left I personally went and found the waiter and put the money in his hand. I hate leaving it on the table for fear someone will steal it. Not to sound like hot shots, but it was a pretty large tip. So the really funny part, which I did not realize until later that night, is this: I misunderstood the waiter and thought I had only 64 cents left on the gift card he returned to me. I took the card and one of my coupons to some men at another table and offered it to them. They seemed surprised and happy. When I looked at the receipt later, I realized I OWED 64 cents which meant there was over nine dollars left on that card I gave away. Ha! I bet those guys were really shocked at that when they paid their bill. Hell, in any case, I didn't think we would be coming back, at least not any time soon so somebody might as well have gotten use out of the damn thing. I wonder if this 64 cent check didn't get paid then, but hopefully that lovely manager voided that at least! What a nightmare. Though I have had worse experiences, this was ridiculous! I would completely swear off chains period if it were up to me. My dining companions will probably not listen to me ONCE AGAIN and something else will happen. Sigh. read more

The service was ok but the portions are VERY small. They brought extra rolls and I filled up on those. My salad had less than a cup of spring greens drowning in dressing. I ordered the lobster roll and bisque. The waitress wanted to know what soup I wanted even though the bisque was part of the meal. The roll was the size of a hot dog bun, warm but not toasted. It came with about a 1/4 cup of lobster, no sauce. The chain is going down hill.if you like it, go soon. read more

This Red Lobster has to be the biggest joke of all Forsyth restaurants. My husband and I wanted to have a very special birthday celebration dinner out. Splurging, we chose this restaurant out of the many choices we had to choose from. We decided that he was going to have the live lobster, but first we decided to order an appetizer. The menu did not show a picture of the one we ordered, but it described it as Calamari and Vegetables. Lightly breaded Calamari, broccoli and red peppers. We ordered it because we like Calamari and love vegetables. The plate came and what we had was old foul tasting grease soaked breaded Calamari if you could call it that. The rings of calamari were the size of our pinkies. To my disbelief the broccoli and red peppers were breaded, soggy greased soaked lumps. It was so disgusting that I mentioned to the waitress how tasteless it was. It didn't seem to phase her. I expected fresh steamed or grilled vegetables. Partially my fault, but the menu should be clear as I do not normally see breaded fried broccoli or red peppers. We did not eat it. Could not eat it, it left a greasy foul taste. The lobster, .... A Small, skinny lobster came next, and with it was a baked potato the size of a gulf ball. Each was very, very small. I asked the waitress if she could describe how to get the meat out in large chunks from the lobster, since this was his first time having one. She went and got rubber gloves on, came back and put her hands into the plate and proceeded to mangle the $35 lobster. We brushed it off, we shouldn't have, but it happened so fast. When he finished eating, I made a comment to the waitress that he couldn't get anymore meat off of it and at that point she took her BARE fingers, dove into the plate and started pulling apart at the rest of the lobster. She said quote- if that was mine I would have it down to a carcass. When we got our bill, I saw that there was a code to do a survey, but first my husband handed her a hundred dollar bill with the ticket to pay. She put the change back on the bar we had coming to us, but there was no ticket anymore. No survey? We left... Disappointed, very disappointed. Don't waste your time or money here. Just gross. read more

On the way down from Chicago, we stopped by for a quick lunch today. Well, that was the intent. We were seated right away, which was great. Greeted and drinks orders were taken by our server - a younger guy who was friendly. Good start ... then it took a bad turn. Ordered two sodas and two chocolate milk and the guy disappeared for about 12-15 minutes. I see other servers taking buzzing around and taking care of multiple tables ... but not our guy. He was nowhere to be found. Here is the summary: our server must be a magician because he can disappear while working at a restaurant. Not good service from him. One of the other servers noticed that we were anxiously looking for our server and grabbed the manager. Kudos to that server for paying attention and going above and beyond. Thank you. And most importantly, the manager today was great! She was apologetic for the bad service and was sympathetic to the long 20-minute wait to place an order. Thank you very much! You are the reason I am giving this place 3 stars and we will come back again. read more

good dinner, good price, four baskets of crab rolls and four refills on drink. Tristen was a server and paid close attention to our table.

Got the NY strip and lobster tail. The lobster tail was great and fell right out of the tail. The steak however, was tough and overcooked like something I would expect to get at a mom and pop cafe. The waiting staff was helpful and friendly. I would come back for drinks. read more

My husband and I and another couple went to Red Lobster New Years Eve for dinner. We went early at 5:00 to avoid the crowd. However, everyone had the same idea. It became very busy and not enough staff. We were there over 2 hrs. And had to wait forever for our dinner. Everyone at our table was served salads except me. By the time I got mine, everyone else was done. Our dinner was lukewarm. We did complain and got $10 off next time, however not sure there's gonna be a next time read more

Service was decent and waitress brought out correct orders. The problem was that my salad was majorly over dressed. Another problem was the shrimp nachos my family purchased for an appetizer had barely any toppings on it and the dish was mostly just brittle chips. Overall my meal was bad and very overpriced. read more
