    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

As we waited & ate our bread the table of about 8 folks were complaining about how they ordered 40 mins ago. At that time I knew our dinning experience was going to be great because the place wasn't packed. Thankfully our food came in a decent enough time, but my shrimp were cold and filet was dryyy. Our waiter never came over for refills or check ins and was just a few feet away vacuuming. Disgusted by the experience we paid the bill via QR code and left.

We recently purchased a gift card for True Food Kitchen but when we had problems with it, the local restaurant wasn't able to do anything.

I left two voicemails with True Food corporate with no response, in addition to leaving email with no response either.

    DoorDash Pizza Diaries: Strawberry's Pub & Pizza…read more If I deliver it, I gotta try it. That's the rule. So after countless miles, red lights, and "leave at door" ninja drops, I finally grabbed a slice from Strawberry's Pub & Pizza--and yeah, this one earns its spot in the rotation. The vibe? Classic neighborhood pub energy. The kind of place where the TVs are always on, the locals actually know each other, and the pizza isn't trying to reinvent itself with truffle oil or an identity crisis. Just solid, honest pizza doing its job. The slice: thin but not sad, crispy where it counts, foldable without flopping like a bad screenplay. The sauce has that slightly sweet, slightly tangy balance, and the cheese? Just enough to stretch, not enough to slide off and burn your chin. Respect. As a DoorDasher who's eaten pizza in more parking lots than I care to admit, this is exactly the kind of slice you want mid-shift--satisfying, not greasy-bomb heavy, and absolutely worth the pit stop. Bonus points for fast service and a staff that moves like they've done this a thousand times (because they have). Dash Verdict: If you're ordering from Strawberry's--good choice. If you're dashing past Strawberry's--stop and grab a slice. If you're me--you're adding it to the "NJ Mom & Pop Pizza Approved" list. Until the next delivery... stay crispy.

A few logistical tips: while there is street parking, a public lot is conveniently located right across the street. The dining room is quite intimate with only about ten tables, and since they don't seem to take reservations, I recommend arriving early or being prepared for a wait. If you don't want to wait, they do offer takeout! Another suggestion is to browse their menu online before you arrive, the selection is extensive! We showed up without a game plan and needed several minutes just to decide because there were so many tempting choices! Luckily, our waiter was incredibly patient and helpful, answering every question we had. Once we decided, the real fun began. Every single item, and I'm not exaggerating, was phenomenal! We started with the fresh squeezed orange juice, which was sweet and perfectly portioned, along with a vanilla latte and a cappuccino. Both were classic, rich, and creamy. For the main course, we chose the "Chill + Qill It" Chilaquiles, which featured traditional corn tortillas topped with cotija cheese, avocado, pink sour cream, eggs, and your choice of protein. We also tried the Parkside Classic Sliders; the chicken was exceptionally crispy yet tender and juicy, served with eggs on a brioche bun. We opted to upgrade to the truffle fries, which were delicious! Although our sliders accidentally came with pickles, the staff was so kind and immediately offered to remake the dish or swap out the bun. Finally, we had the Grilled Chicken Egg Ranchero. It was like a breakfast version of nachos, loaded with beans, peppers, onions, an egg, those same crispy tortillas, and more of that signature pink cream! We couldn't leave without satisfying our sweet tooth, so we finished with the Cinnamon Roll French Toast. It tasted exactly like a fresh cinnamon roll, the glaze was incredible, and the bread was perfectly crisp on the outside while remaining fluffy inside. I honestly cannot wait to go back and work my way through the rest of the kitchen's creations. This restaurant is a absolute must-visit for their unique combinations and superb flavors!

When you walk in there is counter seating the length of the restaurant on the right and a line of booths that seat 4 on the left. If you go with a large party you will have to sit separately. If you're in the area I definitely recommend Colonial Restaurant for breakfast!
