Their food is good. Their service is awesome and their place is very clean. Very spotless.

Red Lobster has had its up and downs but this experience wasn't too bad. The wait was a bit long, seemed like they were a bit understaffed. Our waitress, Jennifer, was extremely kind and definitely did her best with us. Most of the food was tasty, some things could've used a bit more seasoning. It wasn't busy at all, but the service in general was a bit slow. The location could also be a bit cleaner. read more

Red Lobster - Salmon New Orleans and shrimp double; Parrot Isle Coconut Shrimp and shrimp Walt's Favorite Shrimp - Seafood Near Me - Iselin, New Jersey

For Father's Day Sunday thought there would be a wait but we were seated right away. Olivia was our server and she was very attentive and we got 2 refills of their famous cheddar biscuits. Ambiance was sitting by the bar which was quite dark o Lt think. All the eating was good but felt tired with the dark shaded space. But their menu is quite extensive and so don't remember having Seafood Boil bags good to know for next time cravings. W shot seafood stuffed mussels which were smaller then menu picture depicted. I got a 3 drink margarita flight was was like 3 different flavored drinks from $16.99 a steal. And salmon with shrimp New Orleans style and they have more side offerings now but are premium à la carte which is additional charge . Overall better then I can remember from past Red Lobster offerings. read more

The food wasn't bad--Cajun-flavored crabs were actually quite good, and our server was friendly and did a great job. However, we came specifically for the crab fest, and they had no crab crackers available. It was incredibly frustrating trying to eat crabs without the proper utensils. To be fair, our server did let us know in advance, but it's disappointing that a restaurant promoting a crab fest wouldn't be properly equipped for it. That's a management issue--one that reflects poorly on the chain and could very well put them on the same path as TGIF if basic details like this continue to be overlooked. read more

Came to try the $22 endless shrimp. They should rename it to endless wait. It's ACYE shrimp 7 ways. Pick 3 for the first round, and then pick 1 every round after. The first round also comes with a side. They unfortunately ran out of the "Dragon Shrimp" today. The food itself was good, but we had to wait 20-30 minutes between rounds because the kitchen was so dang slow. The dinner ended up taking 2.5 hours. Ya girl was falling asleep. Our server acknowledged the long wait, but didn't offer anything to make up for it. An extra side would have been a nice gesture. SIDE NOTE: I'm annoyed that the server didn't tell us that the skewers come with rice each time you order it. When she asked us what side we wanted for round 1, she should've let us know that we were already getting rice. That way, we can pick a different side. It's the little things, you know? read more

Loved the food! Keep red lobster alive. biscuits were fire -- pro tip: use the biscuits as the scooper for the lobster dip. Thank me later! Ultimate feast, shrimp scampi, coconut shrimp, and the margarita flight were delicious. Shoutout to Leslie ! read more

I would give this place zero stars if possible My food was supposed to be ready by 9:03 it wasn't ready until 10pm Workers were annoyed when asked for updates they weren't attentive By the time I received the order it wasn't as hot as it should've been given the wait time The biscuits were also smashed and broken apart. There was no solution given in the restaurant for the hour wait and there were other customers that waited just as long and longer also not receiving anything for the inconvenience I will be reaching out to the better business bureau regarding this read more

There's nothing I appreciate more than exceptional customer service. Mary is the best. She's attentive, has a fantastic balance of knowing when we need something and when we wanna relax and eat and as a smile that lights up the room if you're having a bad day go to Red Lobster and ask for Mary. read more

Red Lobster - Seafood Near Me - Iselin, New Jersey

Always loved this location as lunch service was great years ago, but hadn't been here since the menu changed and prices increased. Upon entering, there was no host manning the desk and the 2 people who finally came had absent smiles, no "welcome to Red Lobster" but greeted with a simple, "how many?" instead. Food is A LOT more expensive so you'd expect your food to be on point. Ultimate Feast ($50) and many other favorites - anything with lobster or crab - are now on the menu priced at $40+/pp but now you have more "create your own" options. Staff is friendly but they socialize with each other a lot. Food took 40 minutes to come out. The filet mignon was well done instead of medium so way over cooked and dry. Our Ultimate Feast was warm not hot but since the waitress took over 15 minutes to return and we were all starving we couldn't even complain to her nor the non-existent manager. Not even sure if there was a manager that evening because usually they come around asking patrons "how is everything" but there was none of that. I am happy at least that she kept our glasses full and was very nice but it will be awhile before we return here again (esp. with Bonefish a few doors down, the spend is comparable, food is excellent, and service always on point). The biscuits were somewhat disappointing as I've never seen them so flat (Popeyes biscuits are thicker). They still tasted good but there was no "rise" like the boxed Red Lobster biscuits which come out better. The broccoli side was the best it's ever been. Crab legs, lobster tail, shrimp scampi, and Walt's favorite shrimp (fried) are always reliably great - when hot. At least there is always free, plentiful parking. read more

The drinks and food need MAJOR work!! Ordered a Bahama Mama drink and I got some puree of mango and orange. Then decided to switch to a simple vodka and oj, but they didn't know what kind of vodka they had! Food wise, ordered a lobster and shrimp pasta, and the pasta was way over cooked, very mushy, would stick to my teeth! Paid ALOT of money to go here for very sub par food! This place needs to improve ASAP read more

We* Love Red Lobster PERIODT We go to Red Lobster because it's Red Lobster We will not let her go !! Food quality and service are like waves in the ocean or phases of the moon ( they wax and wane ) sometimes it's great ; sometimes it's not ( so what). It's a relationship ! Our customer/server relationship with RL transcends any one restaurant visit or period of time. Would you send your dog to the pound just because he/she was in a slump ? NO! You would give her more attention, play more frequently, and offer him a balanced diet consisting of diverse grains and butcher selected meats - Thanking her consistently for her service and presence. We must also show attention and gratitude to RL who has always been there for us ( Sunday afternoons-post church , following a special event , or just because! ) RL offers a classy seafood dining experience that is within reach for the average 21st century North American budget. If you don't like it, stay home and eat peanut butter and jelly, but if you enjoy dining on fine Langostinos, I'll see you at your Neighborhood RL ( if your neighborhood does not have a RL , FIND ANOTHER NEIGHBORHOOD) * We = landlubbers read more

I've been to this red lobsters plenty of times in my life. Always have had a pleasant experience. During this trip I had a taste for the garlic sauce they cook the shrimp scamp in but I also wanted Alfredo pasta. So, I ordered the grilled chicken(or it may have been Cajun chicken) and linguini in a cream/Alfredo sauce. I asked for a side of the garlic sauce that the scampi is cooked in and the Waite said she'd see if she could get it and didn't think it would be an issue. Well, she got it and it gave the food such a nice kick! I loved it! A nice size portion along with a side of broccoli and biscuits. My biscuits were nice and warm. And the strawberry lemonade I ordered hit the spot. Go here! This is one of the good Red Lobsters. read more

Service!!!!! The service here was aaaaaamazing. Ask for Dijon, like the Provence in France:) lol. he was amazing. Very attentive. Food was delicious per usual. I had my fav the ultimate feast. They really need to change the fried shrimp though to something else. Or mix it up a bit. Place smelled a bit like chloroform but in covid times that's maybe a great thing because you know theyre cleannnn!!! Lol. No bad things to say here. Great service. Great food. Good vibes. read more

Where should I start? Came in and the host Will was pleasant and got us seated quickly which was the best part of dinner. Sat down and was sitting for almost 18 min before the server came over. When she did she didn't bother to give her name. All she did was as were we ready to order which we had to ask her name which she said was Karen. She brought bread over and took our drink order which took another 15 min to get along with water. After she brought the drinks we order and that took over 35 min to bring. Never once coming over saying anything about why it was taking so long to bring our entrées. Once entrées comes from the people in the back Karen never came over to check on us to see if everything was OK. She was walking around talking to other servers which they were doing their job but I have no idea what she was doing because we go no attention from her. While we were eating I asked for more scampi since I ordered the Endless shrimp and that took another 20 min which at that point I was ready to go so we just asked for containers so we could go and even then she was walking around and finally brought us the containers. We asked her while she was there to bring the check because we was worried she would disappear again and not be seen for another 30 min. Once she brought the check we paid and waited for her to bring it back so we could sign the check and get out of there. I like Red Lobster but Karen needs to be retrained or fired because she's not a good host. Choose Red Lobster at your own risk of poor service. I hope if management reads this they will take action and grt better service read more

Red Lobster - Strawberry Cheesecake - Seafood Near Me - Iselin, New Jersey

I had a couple of coupons to use so figured I would get dinner. When I arrived I parked in the lot. I walked in and was greeted and decided to sit at the bar. Taquasia was my bartender and she was nice and attentive and I started with a drink of red sangria which I was not a fan of so went with the pinot nior instead. I ordered 2 appetizers of the crab stuffed shrimp and mussels which I had free coupons for. When the food came out it looked good. I dug in and wasn't a fan for the stuffed shrimp but the mussels weren't bad. I had a decent experience. read more

Honestly, I wasn't that impressed with the food and service. We were placed in the corner and it felt like it took forever to have someone even order drinks and food. The stuffed mushrooms and Cajun chicken pasta was very oily, although the food was enjoyable. The stuffed mushrooms were so oily that I ate it with the biscuits. I love their biscuits! Very seasoned, warm, and soft. For the sailors platter, it was okay. It has a lot of fried food though. read more

This was the worse meal I've had in a long time. Everything was thrown together and mixed up the biscuits were burnt and the chicken was disgusting, macaroni and cheese tasted old and the baked potato came with one of the toppings I paid extra for. Last time I will ever order from there. I threw most of it away. What a waste of money!!! read more

So we had a gift card from the holidays so we stopped in for an early dinner. We were seated right away. Brian, our server, came to the table and introduced himself within the first few minutes of sitting down. He was probably one of the best servers we ever encountered. He checked in frequently, refilled drinks before we even asked and explained everything. We enjoyed our food which came out with minimal wait. The refills on the shrimp were very prompt too. We will be back! read more

Honestly I had a really great experience especially because of my server Manuela. She was amazing! She was fast, efficient, and communicated well. That's all you can ask for out of a server! She was also really sweet and down to earth. Highly recommend asking for her when you dine in. The process to get a table was fairly easy and effective with them texting you when your table is ready and being seated right away! The ambiance of course is causal, clean, and just a good environment to connect with whoever you choose to go out with: family, friends, or a partner. The biscuits of course were amazing and none of our entrees did not disappoint ny strip steak, surf and turf, and stuffed flounder . We also got two virgin pina colada, and a mango sangria....All Amazing! We even opted for dessert, the strawberry cheesecake which was delicious.I haven't been here in a long time and I was honestly presently surprised. read more

Went when in the area with a friend who has never been to Red Lobster, went during COVID season and sat outside, the weather was great, but it was windy which always makes a dining experience a little crazy! Server was great, we have super picky kids and she accommodated everything and went out of her way to help us out and she didnt seem bothered by it, she was just real chill. Food was what you would expect, its a chain, they are all the same - you know what you are getting at Red Lobster. The kids loved their food and we were all happy with the meal. Would go back when in the area. read more

Our server Matt was great . Very helpful .. and food was also good . My bf and I ordered the $14.99 3 course meal.. with a Caesar salad, salmon with the mash potatoes and broccoli and a brownie with ice cream.. We got the maple sauce to go on the salmon and the lobster mash potatoes . Definitely can't beat the price! However the Broccoli was very dry. I also ordered the prickly pear margarita which was good and strong but too much ice !! There is a parking lot so parking is convenient.. read more

The food was amazing and even when they messed up our order a little they fixed it right away without any issues. They followed all the Covid protocols and were very clean which is great to see. Enough about the restaurant though. Cindy was the best waitress I've ever interacted with. Me and my girlfriend love her and even though there's a red lobster closer to home, we're coming back to this one just for her! She was so helpful and gave the best suggestions for food all while being super nice and funny. read more

Good experience for lunch today. This is the only Red Lobster I've ever been to in my entire life - been coming since I was a child and my parents would take us. But now as an adult, I can better understand and appreciate the experience. Although it's not a high class seafood bistro down the shore with super fresh catches, their food does the trick for me. My lunch today was a seafood trio of sorts. I had fried shrimp, garlic shrimp scampi, and flounder. The side was a nice buttery rice pilaf and of course, a ton of cheddar bay biscuits. The fried shrimp was a little smaller than I expected but still good. The shrimp scampi was my favorite - great flavor. As for the flounder, could've been better because it lacked flavor and seasoning. Overall, the food experience could have been better. But I know I've had many great experiences in past years here so I cannot be too picky. I was pleasantly surprised with the atmosphere as the interior seemed newer than the last time I remember it. Staff was also very friendly and helpful. All in all, I'd like to come back sooner rather than later and splurge on some Maine lobster Surf and Turf. Enjoy the mouthwatering pics! read more

Visited this location last Saturday 4/23/22 at the request of my 10 year old. Upon arrival the greeter at the front was apparently on her lunch break as she had an entire spread of mozzarella sticks, Mac and Cheese , and shrimp pasta in front of her chewing nastily and digging in her food while asking how many guest need to be seated. This was so nasty and disgusting, as she also went to grab the menus to seat us after digging her fingers in her food and sharing with her friend . I get it Red Lobsters isn't a five star restaurant but my gosh. Shocked managers allow those low class antics. Nevertheless my food was decent and my waitress ok. Not sure I would ever return this location it seems very mediocre. read more
