I haven't enjoyed Red Lobster for a long time BUT today we discovered that a new menu was at the restaurant! The food is like the food of old at Red Lobster: the shrimp was amazing, the crab legs bomb, the lobster was sweet and the sides were solid!!! The food is back, not that highly processed food but real taste as well!! If you've been disappointed with RL then now is the time to go back!!! read more

We tried the lobster dishes here. Due to Halal guidelines we can't consume alcohol. The server was really nice and understanding of this, and made sure that our foods were cooked without alcohol. Unfortunately, their shrimps all come marinated with alcohol from the vendor, so we couldn't try them. Please be careful about this if you want to follow Halal guidelines. read more

Came in for dinner, and it was about as expected... Pros - The biscuits (duh)... - Friendliness of waitresses Cons - Speed of food, even though the place wasn't that busy it was VERY slow - Value wasn't great, for what you pay and get, typical of Red Lobster Not much more needs to be said, as this was a typical, average experience... read more

Red Lobster - Spicy shrimp, coconut shrimp, and grilled shrimp skewer (with fries and the coconut sauce for the coconut shrimp) - Seafood Near Me - Lafayette, Indiana

My family came into this red lobster 40 mins before closing, and for that I am SO SORRY. The place had like.. one other group. But they happily seated us. We were so hungry, thank you. Now the food! The cheese rolls (?) that they give at the table might have been my favorite part of the whole dinner. Theyre hot and cheesy, but theyre filling!! So i tried not to eat a whole basket. Fantastic rolls. The food was plentiful, and my fish was really good. Coleslaw side had a large portion. Walked out with a fun lobster beaded necklace to remember the night we were saved by red lobster. read more

We walked in the door and was greeted immediately from the greeter to go in back towards the kitchen. She came out with menus and told us it would be a wait but we could get seated at the empty bar. So we moved to the bar. One station was taken up by two wait staff. One that proudly announced he was off the clock despite the wait gathering at the doors. The bartender greeted us once and said she would be back. She again addressed us after waiting saying she would get back to me. Then, we watched as the to-go girl behind the bar totaled tickets. The bartender yelled at people to stack (or not stack) their tickets. We heard her ask two people for help. She asked a manager, that walked past us, to find something. All this but no one bothered to even offer us water. Ten minutes later (yes, I used my stopwatch), I turned to my husband and we left having never been addressed for so much as a drink. 15 minutes of my life I will never get back. It explains why the Red Lobster brand is losing money and closing stores. read more

Been a long time since we've had Red Lobster. Need to go while we still can. Interior looks great. Our service was really good. Food was spot on. Cheddar Bay Biscuits were yummy. I got blackened Salmon on a Caesar Salad. Husband got Maple Glazed Chicken. We're both very happy with the portions and flavor. read more

Place looks nice and wasn't very busy. Quick seating We to order and our first & second choice were all out. Settled for surf and turf. Ordered the steak medium rare , they came out black with a grey center, no juice at all. Took server over 30 minutes to come by to check, never even bring refills. Couple next to us had to go find a manager to even get a bill. Lobster tail was decent, shrimp were good. read more

They are working hard to give customers a 5 Star experience. The GM has listened to us when we've had issues. The food has generally been good; the servers are mostly good. read more

My family and I have been loyal customers of this Red Lobster for decades. Pretty sure that ended tonight. We went in there a bit early, at 4pm, to beat the New Year's Eve rush. The greeter seated us in a booth and said our server would be right with us. After about 15 minutes the server came up and quickly told us someone else would be taking our order. After 30 minutes, I went back to the greeter and asked to speak with the manager. After several more minutes, and no manager, we decided to leave. I can tolerate slow service if there appears to be effort and we are acknowledged. In this case, we didn't even get a glass of water. What we got was a healthy dose of being ignored by the wait staff and the manager. It should be noted that only two other couples were seated by us, and they complained about the slow service and cold food. There also appeared to be plenty of staff on hand. In our area, there were two servers and another employee folding napkins. read more

Very inconsistent. Would not recommend. Seafood is good if you catch them at the right time. Day shift is a lot better than the night shift cooks. Vey pricey as well. read more

Another delicious shrimp meal. Our waitress Cheryl L is a great value to Red Lobster. She took care of our group of 9 with ease. Every menu selection came out hot and properly cooked. She anticipated soft drink refills. She made our holiday meal special. Great job today! read more

Red Lobster - Nine happy patrons. Thank you Cheryl L. - Seafood Near Me - Lafayette, Indiana

Family dinner here to celebrate a birthday milestone! The food was very good and the staff were excellent. There are some pricey items on the menu but also several value items. The stuffed flounder with two sides was very good. My only complaint: the steamed broccoli was too salty. The side salads looked very fresh. The restaurant was clean and tidy. Overall five star service and four star food, with some 4.5 star food items such as the stuffed flounder and side salads. read more

I absolutely love seafood, they really do an outstanding job, so delicious now I'll just keep coming back for more...

I walked in and there was no host. I had to look for a host. I could tell the place was short staffed. We got sat down and our waitress was great! Made the looking for a host completely escape my mind. We ordered our food and it was cold, and soggy as if it was sat out for the 30 minutes I waited for food. I payed for my drinks but got a refund for the food. The waitress did good but the service was not great. read more

Bartender with pink hair is disorganized, Couldn't get help when i came in to pick up an order. Do better with customer service

I enjoyed my to-go order of shrimp, rice, broccoli and their cheddar bay biscuits. Everything was delicious and the food was ready right on time. read more

Let me start by saying I am not hard to please at a restaurant. We were seated fairly quickly to a table in the bar area. We then waited 20 minutes for someone to come to our table. We had chatted with other tables around us about how bad the service was so we ordered food and drinks while she was at the table. We waited ANOTHER 20 minutes and no drinks or food were brought to the table.A couple in table beside us got up and left due to no one acknowledging them at all for 20 minutes or so. 2 other tables waited forever for checks. So we got up and left and went to Outback.I understand understaffing, but at least acknowledge people waiting and let them know what to expect and I can be more tolerant. This goes back to management in my opinion. They should be in tune to what is happening. Won't be back. This chain is in bankruptcy and it shows. No longer relevant in today's market. Much better choices in Lafayette. read more

We unexpectedly stopped in for dinner on a Friday night as the restaurant that we wanted to go to had a long wait. There was no wait for a table which was nice but we weren't sure how the food/service would be. The restaurant was not busy and it was quiet and clean. Our server Liz was so great. It took a little while to get our drinks but she did bring them with fresh (hot) biscuits. She checked on our table a few times while we had our meal and when we asked for more sauces, she brought some for us and even extra for us to take home with our leftover biscuits (her recommendation was the Pina colada sauce with the biscuits and it was pretty good!). My fish and chips were quite overdone but I didn't say anything so I can't complain. Another person at our table also had the fish and chips and they were perfect so maybe it was just a fluke that mine was overdone. We will definitely be back at some point. read more

It may seem unusual to write an updated review a month after the original one, but, I think, fair is fair: since I was critical of a few things in the original review, it seems only right to point out that the problems seem to be alleviated. My wife and I placed another delivery order and this one went very well. The big problem last time (very delayed delivery and cold food) did not recur. Our delivery was right on time and the food did not require reheating. Another problem noted last time (french fries placed in the same container as steak) was not an issue now, but I noticed that the container had different compartments that kept items separate. Also, I realized that you can give special instructions, so in the future I'll just write a few words asking them to keep other stuff I may order separate from juicy entrees. The food was, as usual, delicious. This time I ordered, for the very first time, the bourbon and bacon chicken (which seems to have replaced the maple and bacon chicken) and it was excellent. My wife ordered the grilled salmon Caesar salad and really enjoyed it as well. read more

Food took an hour to come out. Asked the waitress and she didn't even make apologies...just said that's the way it is now with all the door dashing and grub hub. Ok. So here's my 1-2 star review. read more

Food was alright, kinda expensive if not for the amazing buttery biscuits. Waiter was nice and brought us tons of refills of the biscuit baskets upon request. Had the lobster pizza, too much tomato and not enough lobster. Tried the lobster tacos too, which were pretty yummy. However it'd probably be cheaper and yummier to get tacos at a mexican restaurant read more

We were celebrating our youngest granddaughter's birthday and she chose here. We were seated quickly and our server took the drink order and gave us time to look over the menu. We ordered crab legs, Parmesan chicken, lobster rolls and a steak. The crab legs were plentiful, the lobster rolls were delicious, the chicken was very tasty but the steak needed a little more seasoning. The service was just the right amount but not too much. read more

Food was great; crab legs and potatoes but husband didn't like the potatoes but I mixed them with steamed broccoli and wonderful! I asked for extra pina colada sauce with my coconut shrimp but still great! Service was good. We're going to move to Florida if another red lobster closes this was a take out order. read more

We waited 15 minutes to be seated. We ended up leaving. It didn't look as though their was a bartender working either. 2 waitresses. That's it!!!!! read more

Everything was delicious. Loved the dip. The New Orleans Salmon was a tad bit spicier than I had expected, but still tasted great. Husband loved his food (he's not big on seafood but treated me to this place since I never get to eat it much) Loved our server, she was so sweet. God bless you (our server - I'm terribly sorry I forgot your name) and your dog. read more

Red Lobster has gotten ridiculously expensive. It is a chain restaurant, serving frozen fish and seafood, and yet charging the same or more than coastal restaurants who serve fresh-caught fare. Red Lobster used to be consider a good, family restaurant. Not anymore. What Family can afford to pay $39+ for entrees! read more

One star is way more than this place deserves. Arrived at 5:30 to beat the crowd, got seated and ordered drinks and appetizer. The cup of clam chowder was served in a large bowl and it barley covered the bottom of the bowl. There was actually more grease than clam chowder. We waited for our meal for another 45 min and the waitress informed us that our ticket got bumped off the screen. Our food was now being prepared, another 30 min go by and she said our food was out next... After watching 4 more tables get served, we ended up leaving and offered to pay for the items we received. The manager never stopped at our table once in the hour and a half we were there. Left Red Lobster hungry to grab a burger. read more

Had a wonderful early dinner. Me and my husband had unlimited shrimp. It was hot every time and so yummy. Sorry this isn't a super long review but when u do good there's not much to say. Other than job well done guys read more

Where do I start? With the restaurant maybe 1/4 full,we were seated next to kitchen. Unacceptable. And we moved. Food; first our rolls were served not fully cooked and sent back. The same rolls were brought back over done. Apparently in a microwave or heated oven which no one over saw. Could not eat. Next,the "endless " shrimp. Trust, it was endless! Twice shrimp was sent back for being undercooked and received back still undercooked. Even bake potato was undercooked. It goes without saying this meal was not edible. Unfortunately this was probably the worse meal we have had in very long time. Even though our server tried very hard to make things decent,she couldn't overcome the terrible cooking. So when you spend $50 for dinner and have to go home and eat cereal. Doesn't say much for the restaurant. It goes without saying that Red Lobster will not be a restaurant choice for a very long time. read more

This is a very, consistently good restaurant for this area. I met a friend for drinks and dinner. She got a pina colada with strawberry and I got a raspberry lemonade with vodka ($7). Both drinks were really good ! I got a ceasar salad to start with my meal. I was really pleased with it and loved the pieces of fresh parmesan. For my meal, I got the Admirals Feast ($20). I like it because it has a little bit of everything: fried whitefish, fried shrimp, fried bay scallops and fried clams and baked potato. My friend got the fried shrimp. All was perfectly breaded and fried. The basket of cheddar cheese biscuits are divine that come with the meal. They also had large lobsters in the tank near the lobby. I haven't seen that in a while at a restaurant. Our waitress was good about checking on us, and I loved all the comfortable booths available. For a chain restaurant, this particular location is excellent. Great job to the store manager here on such a well-maintained restaurant with good food and good service. read more

So much salt in these restaurants! It is crazy, like Wendys and Panera with food shipped in from some frozen factory - I guess it's passable when it's easy to get full for $8 but $18? I average a stop here every 5 years because of that. There's better more engaging options in the area for dropping $15-20 like Red Seven, Town & Gown (wow what a place!), Teay's Brewing, and East End which all offer plenty of tasty fish options and more attention for value and nutrition. Surprisingly unlike my last time for Endless Shrimp, we didn't have to wait over 2 hours to get full! That was nice. Us 5 adults enjoyed the casual and refined atmosphere, shrimp options and one did a salmon bowl. I was bummed out there were no amazing off menu options for our shrimp (oddly) like last time when a Hot Nashville with honey almost made up for the crazy long delay between dishes. Our waitress was fabulous, quick to pick up the next option, kept drinks full, and brought bread till we burst. Another bummer is that Red Lobster is no longer under Darden so those gift cards you've been sitting on for Olive Garden and Cheddar's and Seasons 52 are not valid here. I did like the rewards program but again - without a bigger chain group (like Bloomin Brand's Rewards) it's only for those who really love Red Lobster. read more

Usally I don't right reviews but this pissed me the fuck off, I ordered Uber eats from this place and ordered 2 crab Mac'n cheese and the containers are a decent size but did the fill it a decent bit, no they didn't they filled it less then half which is bullshit read more

Red Lobsters food quality and portions have gotten better since they are no longer a Darden restaurant. Coconut shrimp is truly wonderful. Great size! I've never been impressed by the lobster pizza as I just don't think it has any flavor. Salty bottom and bland. All of the fresh fish, grilled or broiled is a safe bet. I wouldn't waste your time on the crab legs. Grilled scallops are worth it if you don't mind the up charge. I worked at a Red Lobster for years in the Kitchen and serving. Food is great if you make the right choices. Biscuits are delicious if you can get fresh ones. read more

Terrible. Do not come to this location. Management had no people skills & they did not make me feel welcome.

We was told we would have an hour wait, meanwhile we watched 8 carry out orders leave. When we were seated, an hour and half the waiter was very attentive. The fish was pathetic, the scallops were cold, the clams were like rubber and the shrimp were overcooked. The broccoli and biscuits were pretty good and so was the water. The forks and knives were dirty and the table looked like it had been wiped with a dirty mop. $58.00 later we left. I will never eat there again. read more

I had this waitress named lily with blue hair and she was absolutely amazing. She was really nice and helped me find food cuz I haven't really tried a lot of seafood. I had the chicken tenders and 2 sides of fries. She brought me plenty of ketchup when I needed it. The lady up front wasn't the nicest but we got our food pretty fast so it was great. read more

We dined in and the food and service were good. My coconut shrimp was much better than the whitefish, which was pretty bland. I'd definitely get the shrimp again. The Alotta Colada is ALWAYS my go to drink! read more

Red lobster is a joke. Made a reservation for wedding anniversary like we do ever year and there saying doesn't matter 45 minute wait. Call the manager goes to a voice saying try again after ringing for ever. read more

Food had hair in it food was mediocre at best, service was very poor. Will not be coming back.

Worst service ever! Took forever to get waited on, took forever to receive the meal and salads came when food came. No silverware, waitress was distracted, manager was horrible, cleaning staff was rude. Place was not full and obviously this is understandable! read more
