    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.

    The server was very good but this bogo even with a bogo is not really worth $20. Well if you did stuff yo face shrinks it's priced about $25 let say so anyway. Yeah this is what it is. The server was good; attentive and gave me a lot of lemons on my water yoooo. Super nice and friendly server. But the portion for this bogo is not super great.

    Endless Shrimp
    Krystal L.

    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?

    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.

    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

    I get that it's Red Lobster, but they could step it up better. Gross menu, gross margarita. The rest of the food was typical mediocre Red Lobster. I will say our server was nice and attentive. Ambiance was not clean feeling.

    Garlic sauce from the shrimp scampi
    Tunisia S.

    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.

    Classic place to have memorable moments. Celebrating a bday tonight. Ted lobster never disappoints

    Shrimp Your Way I ordered the 3: popcorn shrimp, scampi and grilled shrimp on a bed of rice and a baked potato and a water with extra lemon

    I stay getting my usual but sometimes I like to switch it up from time to time but my food comes fresh and hot and I always use my rewards to get free stuff and will continue to do so and can't wait to go again soon and splurge on the cheddar bay biscuitsthe service is good as usual and haven't had any problems or concerns

    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.

The empanadas, which are clearly a crowd favorite, absolutely delivered, and I loved that there were vegetarian options not just for those but across the menu more broadly. That made a big difference. Yes, it's crowded, and yes, you should think about reserving before you go, but the wait is worth it. The staff was also really helpful and kept things moving despite how packed the place was. If you're in Iselin, Jose Tejas is an easy recommendation.
