    We had a reservation, so we were able to be seated immediately. It was a nicely decorated and warm atmosphere with current music playing. The restaurant was very clean. I went to the bathroom after ordering a classic margarita on the rocks and a water. The bathroom was a nice size, plenty of room to move around with two sinks and hand soap with paper towel close by. The water didn't warm up much while I was washing my hands and it sprayed out kind of fast causing water to spray everywhere besides just on my hands. It was an automatic sensor type faucet that I'm not too fond of, but it got my hands clean. Other than that, the bathroom seemed clean. We started off with their traditional cheddar bay biscuits. They were nice and warm, soft yet had a nice light crunch to them, love the cheesy garlic taste of those biscuits! My margarita was really tasty as well, I just wish it had more salt on the rim, but it otherwise tasted nice with a lime wedge on the edge that I put into the glass. For the entree, I had the grilled Maine lobster tail, skewered shrimp, and Atlantic salmon, all finished with a brown butter sauce, which all had its own seasoning and garnish and was on a bed of rice pilaf. For my two sides, I had creamy lobster mashed potatoes that had a creamy sauce and bits of lobster both in it and on top as well as a side salad with ranch dressing; the salad came out first. The salad was fresh, crisp, and colorful with mixed greens, tomatoes, cheese, and soft, but crunchy croutons. The ranch dressing had a nice creamy tang to it that complemented the salad well. I very much enjoyed the tender cooked rice that came with the entree. The lobster and shrimp were both hot and juicy and nicely seasoned. While the salmon was seasoned nicely and all of the food had a good presentation, I was slightly disappointed in the salmon. I love a good juicy grilled salmon, but this was slightly overcooked. The seasoning helped it a little, but I couldn't finish it because it was a little dry on the inside due to being slightly overcooked. I loved my creamy lobster mashed potatoes. The sauce was very nice and had a sort of garlicky taste to it, the bits of lobster were nice and juicy and the mashed potatoes were perfectly cooked and melted in my mouth. My wife got the shrimp linguini Alfredo as well as a side salad with blue cheese dressing. Her salad came out same time as my salad and she enjoyed her salad just as much as I enjoyed mine. Her entree had tender, juicy shrimp, in a creamy garlic Alfredo sauce on a bed of perfectly cooked linguini. Her serving of the dish was a big one, so she ate what she could and took the rest home with one of the cheddar bay biscuits. She very much enjoyed her meal. Our server, Jazmine was very friendly, and attentive, always making sure we were doing well with our meals. I'm a member of the Red Lobster rewards club because I love the place. It's just a bit pricey, so we only go there once or twice a year. Despite the salmon being a little on the dry side, I will still return. I just won't get that dish again.

    Steak & Lobster - Wednesday special
    Dani J.

    It has been several years since I've visited Red Lobster, but with all of the recent changes announced in the media we decided to give it a try after some shopping in Castleton. It wasn't crowded on this Wednesday afternoon. We got there after 5:00pm, but just before Happy Hour ended. We decided to try their $5 alcoholic lemonade drink special. It was pretty good. I decided to go with the Ultimate Spend Less Shrimp special for $15.99. It came with Garlic Shrimp Scampi, Shrimp Linguini Alfredo, and Popcorn Shrimp with Chesapeake Fries. My mother got the Wednesday special of steak and lobster. The portions were large and we both ended up taking some home. I actually enjoyed my meal more the next day. The biscuits were just as good as I remembered. Our waitress was Mary and she was very attentive. She even acted as a hostess to seat us when she noticed the host was tied up with a large party from a nearby nursing home. Overall it was a good dinner experience and reasonably priced.

    With no plans for Christmas this year, I started exploring options for lunch since the idea of eating at home had no appeal. I knew the usual suspects would be open - Chinese restaurants, The Journey, Denny's, and probably Waffle House or IHOP. However, I was really in the mood for something different and was pleased to see that Red Lobster was open for special hours. I stopped in for a late lunch. The regular menu was available and I was pleased that it was steady but there was no line. I was seated at a four-top near the entrance, though Red Lobster has some dividers and it's generally pretty private. There's accessible parking near the entrance. The entryway doors are a tad heavy, however, they're workable. Seating was easily accessible. I opted for the fish n' chips - one large hand-battered, wild-caught cod along with chesapeake fries, two hush puppies, and a healthy serving of coleslaw. Of course, the meal starts off with their Cheddar Bay biscuits. I also ordered my usual unsweetened iced tea. I feel for anyone working Christmas, however, the team was effective, efficient, and generally in good spirits. Service was good, though not necessarily great. I felt the same about the meal - good but not necessarily great. My server checked on me a couple times, though did bring the check before asking me if I wanted a tea refill (then brought the refill in a "to go" cup when I intended to linger a bit). It was a minor faux pas. While I was surprised the fish was only one piece, I will acknowledge it was a pretty good sized piece of fish and it was cooked well. I'm not sure when they added their hush puppies back, but I loved those as a kid and having them back brought a definite sense of nostalgia. This was a definite nice change of pace and I really enjoyed the meal. The atmosphere was warm and inviting and I had some time to read during lunch. As I was spending the holiday alone, it was nice to be in a public environment without being overwhelmed by it like happens in many restaurants. While seafood isn't always my thing, once in a while it really hits the spot and that happened here. While this wasn't the best experience I've had, it was a solidly good one and a great way to spend a Christmas lunch.

    I haven't been to red lobster in quite some time. Plenty of parking along with the large restaurant. I sat at the bar, Steve was the bartender. He was very friendly and attentive. Lunch crowd was small. I ordered the coconut shrimp with a side salad. The side salad was as good, along with the biscuits. Biscuits taste amazing. The shrimp were butterflied and servers with a pina coloda sauce. I'm used to an orange marmalade from another restaurant so was not a fan at first. But once I got my mental block, I really liked it. I'm glad I stopped by, good food at a reasonable price.

    Yuck!!! Won't be back. Horrible !

    Please improve on food and service. Plate presentation is everything!!!! Just wasn't impressed whatsoever.

    Lobster Linguini
    Lindsey M.

    My husband and I went for a date night on a Monday night. There was no wait. Our waiter was very attentive, friendly, and professional. My husband ordered the Monday special 'All you can eat shrimp for $25'. He definitely enjoyed the options. His favorite was the coconut shrimp and the shrimp scampi. I ordered the lobster linguine. I was not impressed with the sauce, next time I'd ask for lobster Alfredo. It was quiet, so we were able have conversations very easily. The cheddar biscuits melt in your mouth! It's hard to not fill up on those and ruin your appetite before your entree.

    We went there b/c it was Tuesday & Tuesdays are $25 1lb crab legs deal. It was really good but a bit messy... Hubby ordered the "Ultimate Spendless Shrimp" meal for $22.99 he totally enjoyed it. Once again I forgot to take pictures of our meal... =(

    Thanks to Chandler aka " The MixOLogist" because my Mango Lemonade with Starry was very refreshing and mixed very well!!! My Lobster Flatbread was very YummyLicious and Chandler recommended it for me to try!!! Ms. Jenn the Mngr was awesome as well and both of them had excellent smiles and their hospitality was second to none!

    The special includes one side. I have fries & Coleslaw

    Red Lobster has been around forever and they continue to draw crowds. The lunch specials make the prices more reasonable. Since the seafood quality is high, dinner prices reflect freshness of the choices. My lunch server, Kasandra, was fantastic! The ambiance is typical of a casual dining restaurant. There's a soundtrack of primarily 1970s music playing in the background. Overall a very tasty relaxing lunch experience for one!

    Lobster & Shrimp Holiday Feast, Snow Crab Legs, Margarita and a Blue Moon Beer

    Enjoyed a birthday lunch for my sister during the Thanksgiving week. Red Lobster remains an old school seafood restaurant that you can always count on. The food was delicious and the cheddar garlic biscuits remain a signature...YUM! Our waitress was friendly and the service was fast, despite the holiday and lunch crowd. The ambiance was holiday friendly. We really enjoyed the Christmas music and decor.

    We stopped by for lunch last Saturday. The service was fantastic and the food tasted great. However, we ended up getting terrible food poisoning. It started on Sunday night and lasted until Tuesday night. Our symptoms were: fever, chills, hot flashes, vomiting, diarrhea, and a headache. We both ate the coconut shrimp, so it must have been contaminated. Such a bummer because it was such a great experience outside of that!

    My experience today was DEFINITELY better than last weeks. I was greeted upon entry. We were seated immediately. The waitress and the manager at the front desk were both friendly and had smiles on their face. Our food came out hot and flavorful. I wasn't lacking the alfredo sauce this time. We left stuffed and happy. I ordered linguine with alfredo sauce and brussel sprouts. My son ordered shrimp alfredo, dragon shrimp, and fries. My bill was under $40 for the both of us, and that included our drinks.

We had a hard time deciding on an appetizer as they all sounded so good. We went with the wagyu pigs in a blanket. They are cooked perfectly and seasoned well and juicy. I got the chicken katsu sandwich on Japanese milk bread and o my gosh it was so flavorful and I like anything else you can find around. The breading is light and not overly crunchy. I still think about that sandwich. Hubby ordered the short ribs and he said they were flavorful and tender and juicy. I can't express how amazing the food is here. You just have to give it a try. It's worth it.

    Big Lug Canteen delivers a memorable meal from start to finish -- friendly, unpretentious service,…read morea warm neighborhood vibe, and two standout dishes that I'll be ordering again. The Brussels sprouts are an absolute triumph: perfectly blistered with a caramelized exterior and tender interior, dressed in a harmonious balance of bright acidity and savory depth. Little crunchy bits and a subtle smoky char add texture, while a finishing sprinkle (and a hint of something sweet-salty) elevates them from simple side to a show-stealer. The Korean salmon is equally impressive. The fish arrives flaky and moist with a richly glazed crust that carries sweet, spicy, and umami notes in perfect proportion. Layers of flavor -- gochujang-forward heat, sesame brightness, and a touch of citrus -- play against the salmon's natural richness without overpowering it. It's plated thoughtfully, with complementary sides that keep each bite balanced. If you're at Big Lug Canteen, don't pass up those two dishes -- they demonstrate skilled technique, bold yet nuanced seasoning, and a real sense of care in the kitchen. Great food, relaxed atmosphere, solid value. Highly recommended.
