Went to Red Lobster after reading different locations were closing. The restaurant could have a little more ambiance, and updating, but that's not what I am writing about. Of course, the muffins came out first, then we ordered to share, Create Your Own shrimp choices. 2 orders of Walt's Shrimp, and 1 order of shrimp scampi, all perfectly cooked! It came with cocktail sauce (ordered an extra one) and we ordered piña colada sauce (2) with it too. Ordered broccoli which we asked for garlic to be added to it, and it was excellent. The broccoli was perfect, mainly florets, barely any stalks. Ordered an extra side of salad, and baked potato since we were 2, (btw they were no longer serving 1000 island salad dressing, so tried the new lime vinaigrette, which was actually even better, so glad to have tried it) The baked potato was a very good size and really perfectly cooked as well, with butter and sour cream on it. I have to mention, it was one of the best meals we have had in a long long time. Everything we ordered was perfectly prepared. Whomever the chef was, made sure everything was prepared well and served right! We thoroughly enjoyed our meal. And to mention we had a great friendly server, Stephanie S. read more

Staff, service and food were great. Ambiance was okay. Dining room, tables and seats were clean and comfortable, but there's a pervasive smell of old carpet. Amanda was a terrific server, knowledgeable. She handled all our requests quickly and accurately with a smile. We started with Lobster Flatbread and Clam Chowder; our entrees were Lobster Lover's Duo, Admiral's Feast and Parmesan Crusted Chicken; sides: coleslaw, seasoned broccoli, baked potato, French fries, and finished up with Strawberry Cheesecake. Portions were generous. Food temperatures were accurate: hot foods were hot, cold food items were cold. Flavor and quality of seafood items were very good. The broccoli was steamed tender, but had strong charred odor. read more

Red Lobster is always one of my favorite places, especially for their biscuits. They came out hot and fresh, just how I like them. I ordered the shrimp linguini along with popcorn shrimp and mashed potatoes. The popcorn shrimp could have been a little bigger, but they were still decent. The mash was mashing. No complaints. My server was very polite. The venue wasn't busy at all probably because i came around happyhour. Overall, I enjoyed my meal. read more

Never again will I patronize Red Lobster. The service was the worst I could imagine. The food was awful. Don't go there!!!.

I have visited this Red Lobster a few times. Usually it's for their Lobster Fest or Crab fest promotions. I was very disappointed with the crab fest when I ordered the Dungeness crab and they were extremely small! I had to talk to the manager to request a few more legs added to make it worthwhile. Today I found out they have a Wednesday special of Surf & Turf for $24.99. I was worried that something wouldn't be right about it. The 7 oz steak was actually quite good. The lobster although good, was extremely thin. I've never seen a lobster tail this thin!! When I pointed it out to the server all she said was, "well that's why it's a special". So unfortunately I was a bit disappointed again. A broccoli was also overcooked and mushy. The server was very good however. read more

7/29/25-. Sat at bar. The bartender was as not there , she was working tables in the dining room too So she was around . I knew what I wanted when I got there but the ( Bartender ) I'm sorry I didn't get her name when I said I wanted the crabs legs she recommended in the bag that came with roasted potatoes, which are good two clusters of the snow crabs and a quarter piece of corn on the cob always very good ,very messy but it comes with a pair of gloves, your bib nutcracker, and a small little fork. They don't split them, so I brought my kitchen shears . Hubby got the twin lobster tails, One Maine one other kind. They have daily specials and Tuesday they have Crab fest , that seafood boil which was worth it for $25. I asked for the Keylime because I heard it was good. It was a slither and when she came so we're out of whip cream and she made a gesture of that it came out of a can well, and I gotta charge the whole price for that little thing not acceptable. read more

I stopped by this Red Lobster location to try their 3-course shrimp sensation for only $19.99. You start off with your choice of a soup or salad, followed by an appetizer, then ending with an entree with one side. It wasn't that busy inside the restaurant, yet people were steadily coming in. I took a seat at the bar and greeted the bartender who was occupied with mixing a variety of drinks for the servers to take to their assigned tables. After bringing a small basket of cheddar bay biscuits and pouring me a nice glass of Moscato, she took my order for the 3-course shrimp sensation. First to arrive was the Caesar salad and jumbo coconut shrimp. The salad was freshly prepared with crunchy croutons, shaved parmesan cheese, and creamy Caesar dressing on the side. The coconut shrimp was fried well with a coconut coating. There was a pina colada dipping sauce that complemented the shrimp nicely. The shrimp linguine alfredo with a side of mashed potatoes came a few minutes later. I started with the mashed potatoes which was very yummy. I slowly began picking at the shrimp alfredo. Don't get me wrong it was delicious, I was just on the verge of feeling full and could not finish the dish so I asked for a container to take it home. It was an enjoyable meal overall on a quiet evening. Looking forward to return to try any new items being promoted during the summer season. read more

I thoroughly enjoyed my Veterans Day offering of shrimp and fries! I also ordered a margarita flight, which was very strong. The service was great as the wait was only about five minutes and once seated, we were immediately attended to. It was very busy as large families and veterans were visiting however, everyone seem to be getting attended to in a timely manner, and everyone seemed happy as I could see. The ambience was warm and welcoming, and was very clean as the tables were quickly attended to once families left. I will give this location a five star for this occasion. read more

I recently came here accompanied and had the greatest pasta in the WORLD. We got here a few minutes before closing and were still seated. I ordered their shrimp and lobster pasta and it was SOOOO phenomenal! The taste was just outta this WORLD so good! And my favorite thing about the pasta dish was how creamy the Pink sauce was! Customer service was great too, everyone was so nice to us. We really enjoyed our high quality dinner!! I wanna come back for more of that rich, delicious pasta!! read more

I am a lover of crabs. I came for the crabs. My first impression of the place was that the restaurant needed an upgrade in decor. Things looked a little old. The service was friendly and good. The food service was slow. We waited a while for those garlic crabs lol. They were worth the wait. They tasted great. The fried potatoes buried under were delicious. I liked them very much. I thank God for those biscuits that made the wait pleasurable. I ended up taking the chocolate cake home. I had no more room. The cake was good. I recommend getting it if you like chocolate. It was a chocoholic's dream. This chain has a rewards program. It looks like something worth checking out. You sign online. It even gives you a birthday reward. That is cool. read more

We came back to try out the place under new management. The decor was old and outdated, the server we had looked tired and was really, really distracted. The food was too salty, and that took the enjoyment right out of the meal.I tried the purple haze, and it was served in a glass that was a little bigger than a shot glass .That's not all the purple haze tasted like cough syrup.. read more

Someone gave me a gift certificate to Red Lobster so off we went. This location has been here for year and I wasn't sure what to expect. We were greeted by the charming Lorenzo who showed us to our seats and let us pick our booth. We went early so there was plenty of space. The hubs started off with a Mocha Espresso Martini which came with a brownie piece on the rim. It was quite refreshing and well made. Those Chesapeake Bay Cheddar Biscuits came out and they were fresh, warm and DEEEEEELICIOUS! We ordered the shrimp and lobster fried stack which had large pieces of fried shrimp and lobster and came with hush puppies, french fries, and coleslaw. The coleslaw was amongst the freshest I've eaten in a while-not overly drenched or overly peppered. The food was as expected. I ordered the Lobster Lovers Dream which came with a rock lobster and Maine lobster tail and shrimp linguini with Alfredo sauce. I opted for a loaded baked potato and broccoli as my two sides. I was pleasantly surprised with the freshness and the quantity of the meal. For $49, it was a good deal by todays standards. Lorenzo cake by to check on us throughout the meal and the manager stopped by at the end. I'm kicking myself for not remembering her name because she was so lovely and attentive and I am convinced that she is the reason for the service turnaround at this location. This location is older but clean and well kept. I give it 4 stars on the scale of chain restaurants. We thoroughly enjoyed our service and meal and would definitely go back. read more

Let me start by saying I grew up loving Red Lobster. But as the photo shows this place isn't even deserving of the same name anymore. Last year this same time we visited this same location for my mom's birthday and did not have a great experience but we thought we'd give it another chance this birthday. Arrived at 7pm to be told it would be a 10-20 minute wait, let me tell you it was almost double that didn't get seated until about 7:40 while the restaurant was half empty on a Tuesday. Tried to go to the bar and grab a drink as we waited for a table to become ready and there was no bartender. I finally flagged the manager who handed my a drink menu and I got a dirty menu see picture, after being seated at about 7:40 and ordering drinks we waited 17 minutes and still no drinks so I decided to go to the bar once again to see if I could ask someone about the status of said drinks as I couldn't find our waitress anywhere. When I was seen at the bar is when I saw the drinks sitting there on the other end and the server brought them to the table. 8:11 finally saw the server again and was told there were no metal crab cracker tools they're in the dishwasher and we were given some plastic device I've never seen in order to use to open the crab with. 8:14 the food was brought out. 8:28 1 crab cracker was brought out for 3 people who ordered crab to share 10 minutes later another singular crab cracker was brought again for 3 people. I will say the crab legs with the Cajun seasoning was good I just wish I could have gotten all of it and the drink was fine as well. But the cherry on top of the bad experience was the dirty bathroom also shown in the pictures. I'm sorry to say after two attempts over two separate years I think this one is going down as a childhood memory but no more red lobster for this family. read more

Came here after spending some time in the area. I was craving some shrimp Alfredo from red lobsters and their classic cheddar biscuits. When we got there, the hostess assistant, I said finding us a table we were immediately seated. The area looks clean. Our server was a bit dry didn't seem too friendly and would take some time to come back and check on us so I had to call down another worker for assistance. At the time they had unlimited all you can eat shrimp so we did that deal and I also got the salmon New Orleans style, the salmon was a bit undercooked for me. The lobster pizza is always bomb! I also tried a limited, edition, watermelon martini was very sweet and not too strong. The staff there was OK didn't seem friendly nor were they rude but I didn't feel so welcoming. read more

Stephanie is Amazing!!!! Best Bartender in Fort Lauderdale!!!! Monday night is the Lobster and Scampi special... Yummo

On a Saturday it was fairly busy with birthday parties. I was seated quickly. It did take a while for a waitress to come and greet us. We were getting a bit aggravated since our drink orders weren't place yet.. Once I waitress finally came she did apologize for the wait. We ordered immediately. It took a long time for our food to come. But the manager came around and apologized and offered $20 off our bill. We did really appreciate that! Food was great! Despite the slow service, the customer service made up for it. read more

A friend and I went here for lunch. The waitress came up right away and brought us those hot cheddar bay biscuits. They were yummy. I opted for the lunch special choosing the broiled flounder with a side of mashed potatoes. The flounder was a little fishy tasting and didn't have much seasoning. The mashed potatoes were good enough. I am not a big eater, but the portion of fish was pretty small. It came with one side. The waitress was wonderful, with friendly and efficient service. The place looked like a typical Red Lobster, cozy and clean. I just wish the meal was a little bit more flavorful. I have had the flounder before at a different Red Lobster and it was tastier. I would give this place another chance in the future and order something else. read more

Ok... I go to this location from time to time because it's close to my house, and I know RL is struggling so I'm doing my part in supporting this company. Tonight I walked in at 9:30 and I understand they close at 10:00 but 30 mins is a good amount of time especially when you have bills to pay! The "lady" who was supp to be working the section I was seated in was furious... She got into a shouting match with the manager... ON THE FLOOR! She basically told him she wasn't serving us... He didn't say anything so I sat there a few more minutes then I left... Now I see why they're going out of business. read more

Way to go! I definitely recommend this restaurant. I hadn't been here in a long time, but the food was fantastic. The shrimp was flavorful, and even the broccoli tasted great, which was a pleasant surprise compared to my memories from 10 years ago. This is definitely a restaurant to visit when you're in Fort Lauderdale. You get a lot of value for your money. The other night, I went to Kaizen restaurant and had their tempura shrimp, which were disappointing--small shrimp, covered in thick breading. In contrast, the shrimp here at Red Lobster were huge and perfectly cooked. Let's keep this long-established restaurant alive! If you're in the neighborhood, give it a try. They've improved a lot, and I highly recommend it. I'll be back soon. Thank you! This restaurant holds so many memories for us. I remember coming here with our little baby, and now she's almost done with college. I really hope this place can survive the wave of mega real estate developments in our area. read more

It had been a long time since I had gone to a Red Lobster. When friends wanted to go to the Red Lobster in Ft. Lauderdale Clyde and I were glad to meet them there. The restaurant was busy, but we didn't have to wait for a table. As soon as we sat down a server greeted us and took our order. We are started with delicious cheese biscuits. Next a salad with blue cheese dressing. It was good. Our server brought us a basket of warm cheese biscuits. For my entree I had the Admiral's Feast. I ordered a baked potato for my side dish. It was a lot of food. There were fried shrimp, fried scallops, fried clams, and fried whitefish. The plate was served with cocktail sauce and tarter sauce. It was a lot of food. It would fta have liked less breading on the food. The fish was my favorite. I managed to scrape off some of the breading. The fish meat was tender and flavorful. The fried shrimp were medium size. They tasted good, especially when dipped into the cocktail sauce. The scallops and clams were small. I tried to scrape off some of the breading. It didn't work. When I scraped off the breading there was hardly anything left. The baked potato was okay. The next time I go to a Red Lobster I'll order my food broiled. Red Lobster has a large menu. They have lots of specials. read more

So on a busy Friday the only place we could get into for dinner was red lobster. We were surprised that they were empty. The service was slow however the lady serving us was doing everything including running the food.

The place was dark and did not look clean read more

I realize this was Valentine's Day but I was disappointed in the food at this restaurant. I was expecting 1 piece of flounder but ended up with 6 small pieces of flounder. We sat down & there was no silverware. Our food came & still no silverware. We ask for silverware. The server went to get us silverware but none was found. We ended getting plastic forks & knives to eat our meal. Had to ask for biscuits which finally came after we got our food. Several tables around us all received silverware for their meals. The only positive thing was the biscuits. Not going to rush back in the near future. Not worth the price for my meal. read more

Service is always good when I come here , love the food and servers are always nice. This is my goto red lobster here in Fort Lauderdale

I like this restaurant because it's close to the house and they have pretty good seafood for a chain restaurant. I started with the lobster roll for an appetizer, which the lobster came out hot and cooked perfectly. Next I had a bowl of there creamy New England clam chowder which was seasoned perfectly and didn't taste like it was out of a can, it went well with the warm cheese biscuits they give you. For my entree I had the wild caught broiled flounder, which was delicious and a nice size portion, came with baked potato on the side. Our waitress was fabulous she came by many times to check on us to see if we needed anything. We had no problem parking ,we beat the rush hour, but by the time we were finished the place was filling up fast. The restaurant and the restrooms were kept very clean. It was nice to see them cleaning the tables with the spray and paper towels instead of using a reused dish rag. read more

The steak was tender, the lobster was flaky, the salmon was flavorful, the Alfredo was creamy, baked potatoes were perfect, the broccoli was cooked perfect.

I definitely recommend dining here. read more
