It's official, we won't be coming back. The food options and quality have never been that spectacular, but have consistently gone downhill over the last year-and-a-half. They only offer Caesar salad for a dinner salad, yuck, the most boring salad ever. Today we spent $125 for a subpar meal and drinks. You would think a seafood place would know how to cook crab. My side of crab that was $10 was over-boiled with water running all over out of the legs. The crabmeat was shrunken and tasteless, the biscuits were cold, and the Brussels sprouts were overcooked as well. What a waste of money. read more

Worst service ever! It took 90min to get sat. Another 20min just to get water, then 10 before we could order. we waited well over two hours to finally start eating. We should have left. The food wasnt great and definitely not worth the price or wait. the server forgot about us. Lame. It was lame read more

We stopped in while on vacation and as expected food was delicious! Server was a little preoccupied so I wasn't impressed with the service, maybe an off night... read more

Got there on Saturday night about 5:30 , got seated quick then absolutely nothing after we ordered. Finally got food about 6:45. Waitress was nice, saying they were overwhelmed. My steak was really tough and lobster was cold. The worst thing was it was very cold in there. Everybody had jackets on, really no reason for that. read more

Went there for a Valentine dinner. We ordered the Lobster Fest comes with two sides, we wanted soup as 1 of the sides, the clam chowder was cold and watered down not as thick as it has been in the past, the waitress charged us $5.95 for the soup. My wife ordered a salad as 1 of the sides and we were charged $1.95. The lobster fettuccine was cold, and the cedar biscuits were cold. The $51.95 meal comes with 2 sides obviously not the 2 we ordered. We are platinum members through their reward program, but I will be hesitant to return to the Layton location. read more

I am not a big seafood fan so I tend to make it to Red Lobster once every 10 years or so. We went recently to celebrate the wife's birthday and the visit justified why once every 10 years is plenty. When we got to the restaurant i noticed it was looking worse for wear, it looks like they have not rehab-ed the place since I was there last. They walked us around to a room near the back which seemed like a good deal, someplace away from the crowds and noise...well not so much. Unfortunately they sat us next to an employee eating at the Lobster on his day off. Even worse, he was a very popular guy and every employee had to come visit him and stay and talk at full volume for way too long, we never got a break from the stream of annoying employees during the entire visit. Service for us was less than stellar, we got an occasional visit from our waitress as she made her way to the neighboring table to chat up her buddy. Food made its way out and it was OK, which for the price we paid is not a good thing. I had limited options as a person that does not like seafood. I ended up with a chicken dish that fill the void but I could have found better elsewhere with little effort. The wife got a seafood platter with two shrimp dishes and and a lobster dish. She said there was too much garlic for her liking and the lobster appeared to be the runt of the litter. I will see you in another 10 years, longer if I am lucky. read more

Red Lobster - Seafood Near Me - Layton, Utah

I came here with my family rather late. It took us about 20 mins to get a seat despite that there were clearly open tables. I ordered their 4 course meal, which I was pretty excited about. I got a "fresh salad" which was anything but fresh. It was very clearly iceberg lettuce and super bland. I also got a clam soup, which was ok. My food was all just "ok" for 15.99. Overall the food was cooked very poorly, the broccoli was dry and had black dots on it. My whole group was very very dissatisfied and agreed with my thoughts. I can't in good conscious recommend this to a foodie, or even a human with a tongue. Harsh words but true. Maybe it was due to being in a landlocked area Layton. But the lettuce just turned me off so much. Iceberg lettuce. Seriously?? read more

Red Lobster - I saw this and just had a hard time afterward. - Seafood Near Me - Layton, Utah

Service and food was the best. Our waitress Lisa was very personable, attentive and informative of the menu and specials. I had the Lobster Scampi, tons of lobster meat. No meat substitutes either, all lobster pieces you can recognize from all parts of the lobster. That impressed me. My hubby and I are leaving feeling full, the lunch portions were perfect. I usually can't finish my food but it was so good that I wanted to finish and that's rare. Now all they have to do is bring back the gumbo!!! read more

We usually dine in but through COVID I'm glad they offered delivery through dash. We ordered everything and anything on the menu. The seafood was good, the Alfredo was creamy and delicious. The best compared to other chains. My boys said they enjoyed it so much cause each bite had shrimp or lobster in it. A very good ratio. Upon delivery every thing was well packed. Easy to tell what was what and who it belonged to. Cooked and seasoned to perfection. I even ordered the wave chocolate cake. Bomb! My mom was happy! It was for her birthday. The whole cake! Yes like 14 pieces! It was cool!! But they truly delivered a great meal from the lobster pizza appetizer, cheddar bay biscuits to the shrimp trio, lobster tails, coconut shrimp, crab and shrimp alfredos! All to be enjoyed at home. Thank you. Now I only got a pic of the slice of cake cause we were so hungry but trust me it was still great quality. read more

Red Lobster - I took some bites lol - Seafood Near Me - Layton, Utah

The biscuits/bread is the best I ever eaten. The other reason why this place is a MUST it is because of Tawni. She is the best server. It is usually crowed during the weekend but the service (tawni) is great. read more

Red Lobster - Trio - Seafood Near Me - Layton, Utah

We went out to eat there on Sunday 12/6/21 food was great! Our server not so much besides the fact that he said the grits and shrimp on the featured menu was "gross" his words not mine. When he presented us our check it came up to 77 dollars and some change I then asked if I could get a cheese cake to go and he acted as if I'd asked for his first born. When I gave him the 100.00 dollar bill he said he didn't have the correct change to give me?!?! Never have I ever experienced this before. What server does not have exact change? read more

We had a good experience here last night. It was a Saturday so seating was about a 45 minute wait. We put ourselves on the waiting list online while we got ready at home so by the time we got there we didn't have to wait. They were busy so there was a lot of wait time in between drink refills, biscuits, etc. We all got the ultimate feast. There was a lot of different options to choose from. I got lobster Mac and cheese, snow crab legs, coconut shrimp, stuffed shrimp rangoons. The star was by far the snow crab legs and the coconut shrimp. It was all cooked very well. read more

Out of most of the places I have reviewed, most of them struggle a little during covid. Especially with curbside at the very beginning when they couldn't do dine in because of covid. I noticed Red Lobster not only have good service but handle the whole covid thing pretty well. read more

Made a reservation, when we got there they said it'll be 20-25 min. It was 45. When I got my steak there was a hair on top, wanted to puke. They took it back and brought it back in three minutes on a different plate with all the same stuff. Paid 65.00 for a piece of crap experience. This place sucked. The menu has gone downhill since the beginning of the Covid b.s. read more

I ordered on Mother's Day and yes there was a delay with delivery I called spoke with Jeff and he went out of his way to make my mom and aunt feel special. The food was great and everyone was so nice to my mom. I ordered from California and they were just amazing. I will definitely be ordering for my mom more often. Thank you Jeff and your staff for making my mom feel special. We understand that day was Extremely busy. read more

Even the tank lobsters could be singing praises! Upon entry to the restaurant we were greeted promptly by the little critters as they waltzed about in their surprisingly clean habitat. I've owned a goldfish. I know how nasty those tanks can get. Image the upkeep on a fleet of raving lobsters! They didn't have a table immediately ready, but they notified us as such and kept true to their word that one would be ready in a moment. Which was fine by me--the lobster dance-off kept me well entertained. After "a moment" we were ushered to our table. Nice and clean. No problems. I love the nautical ambiance by the way! The place seemed a bit busy but the amazing staff handled it well. They don't have Italian salad dressing, but the Champaign vinaigrette nearly slapped me upside the head with a How-could-you-be-thinking-Italian-at-a-time-like-this. Really, surprisingly tasty. Our waiter (Del) was knowledgeable, courteous, and super friendly. The food came to our table in a reasonable amount of time, it was hot and quite tasty. Seriously, I know I should have at least one point to argue, but it's hard to find one! read more

Haven't been to a Red Lobster in a long time but I felt like seafood and this was near my hotel. I got the Admirals Feast and when it came out it was nothing like the menu pictured. Most of the food was overcooked and very greasy. The biscuits were so dry that they would have been inedible without a drink to accompany them. The ONLY menu item that I enjoyed was the salad. And all of this for just over $40 with tip. What a ripoff! read more

What happened to Red Lobster it used to serve good food. My husband and i went there couple days ago and the food was gross. The crab was okay, but the sides were not cooked all the way. BIG Disappointment. Did they get new management. We will not be back. Big shame... read more

Nikki was great! Thanks for the cheddar biscuits :) It's those little things that get you more customers

I was surprised when I got there as i expected a wait longer than the five min. But it was a win because the food was very good and the service was good. The only negative was that I think the clam chowder which was very good, should have came out before the main course but it was served the same time. My baked potato was almost forgotten also. But other than that I had a good overall experience but it's way too pricey for me to go back again anytime soon. read more

Do not go to this location maybe the one in Salt Lake City is better very poor professionalism and I'm not talking about Cara she is cool it's the other female manager that needs to get checked she needs to be retrained I was supposed to pick up a replacement of a wrong order and she sitting there interrogating me over the phone and I was supposed to pick it up on Friday but ended up going because she was severely rude to me over the phone read more

My husband took me here tonight -- he's been trying for 19 years. It is New Years Eve and we didn't mind the wait because we just waited in our car. The waitress was polite and kept our cups filled! ..... my appetizer came out cold, they didn't give my husband his chowder he ordered, they ran out of the shrimp I ordered and one of the things my husband ordered on the pick 3. He loves seafood and was so excited to take me here. His fish was dry, scallops were cold. My little shrimp and fries should've been a kids meal. He was so disappointed and gave his meal a D-, because he did enjoy his baked potato and salad. We won't be returning and if you want a good seafood meal, go somewhere else.. but if u want good biscuits, fries and baked potato- this is your place! Very disappointing for our date night! read more

Service was incredibly slow, but at the same time they were packed to the brim with people. The host and waitress I was acknowledged by were both very nice and professional. The food was also really over-priced, in my opinion. I know seafood is usually always more, but even non seafood items like burgers or chicken tenders were over the $12 mark. The food tasted good! I got the shrimp sirloin plate. Sirloin was a little cool, but I devoured it before it had any time to cool further. Shrimp was kinda chewy. Buuuut, I got food poisoning. Real bad, too. I tried contacting the manager about it but nobody picked up. And, by looking at the other reviews, I can deduce that food poisoning is a common occurrence here. So, I guess if you're willing to take the risk and spend a butt-load'a money, be my guest. read more

For the price, the restaurant is not worth the trip. Decent food, cooked so so, busy servers. I liked the atmosphere of the place as it was crowded but contained all the people well. I won't be back, but I don't feel they failed in their delivery, It just isn't very polished. read more

Server Dana was awesome. Understaffed but still doing a kick ass job. Always great food whenever l go here

Had a fairly decent meal and with a very nice waitress. The draft beer selection absolutely stinks though. They only offer two different unfiltered wheat beers and bud light. The only other option was bottled beers that weren't even priced on the menu. (I imagine what would be quadruple the price of what you would find in the store. My meal could have been great if I had a draft beer that was dark or amber. Why would you have your customers be forced to between two beers that are essentially the same and one that is basically formaldehyde? I told the waitress that whoever made this decision, obviously doesn't drink beer. And what's worse, then said he actually did. I then said, he shouldn't be in charge of those decisions anymore. I would be giving more stars for my rating, but a big MEH for the lacking draught selection. read more

Showed up 830pm on a Sunday (10pm), no one in restaurant was told 15 minute wait. Front desk girl and some other guy had a whispering convo, looked at us, then went somewhere. 30 minutes later no one told us a table was ready then we left. Maybe short of staff? Maybe people didn't show up to work? Maybe lazy or a shell game or cover? Either way 1.5 hours before closure should be enough time to get customers in. read more

It's all about the cheddar biscuits and the all you can eat shrimp deal that prompted us to come here. I have a thing for fried shrimp and not the coconut kind. This is a step up from what you can get at the Sizzler with their "all you can eat shrimp"... This location is deceiving in size. It is ginormous. Again, some things are hit an miss food wise and it is a chain, but Layton is full of chain restaurants, just about everything I can think of except for Cheesecake Factory or Panera. Service here is always friendly and for a go-to know what we like (mostly the biscuits) we have eaten here on at least two of the 3 trips we have made to the area. Another PSA for folks eating in restaurants in Utah or Arizona or many many other states-tip your servers generously IF you receive good service. Food servers make a pittance in actual wages (something like $2.40-$4.00 per hour) so they really depend on their tips and should work for them. 3 stars really for the fact it is a chain and the fourth is because we have had great servers here. read more

I'm a total seafood snob. I was a resident of the Pacific Northwest long enough to come to appreciate the fresh ocean treasures. I have always been puzzled about how the Market Street restaurants got to be so popular? I may receive a lot of flack for this... But I believe Red Lobster serves better product than the aforementioned establishment. Granted, the service at Red Lobster ALWAYS leaves something to be desired, and the prices are a bit steeper than I'd like... But their Parmesan crusted tilapia delivers. Consistently. Plus, who doesn't love the cheddar bay biscuits?! So yes, I realize it's a chain. And that I might as well say that it's sister franchise, the Olive Garden, is authentic Italian! For the record, there's no way I'd ever nominate OG for any awards!!! But I will stand behind my assessment: that Red Lobster is decent seafood (for a land-locked state like ours, anyway). read more

I love Red Lobster...so much it made me sick. For real...this Red Lobster made me sick. Sometimes this Red Lobster is easy to miss...it is right next to the freeway and is somewhat tucked away. We went here for my birthday last year because I love Red Lobster. They had just introduced their "Wood-Fire Grilled" items. I ordered my regular shrimp but with a steak as well. I was not completely sold on ordering steak from Red Lobster but I went ahead and did it anyways. The service was awesome but my steak had real issues. I ordered it medium and it ended up coming out pretty darn rare. I nicely asked if she could have it cooked a little more which our waitress was more than happy to do. When my steak came back a second time it was still almost as rare but just cooked more on the outside. I decided I might as well just eat it and enjoy my dinner. I had to call in sick the next day to work. True story. I have gone back here since...I just would never order the steak again...I guess that is what I get for ordering steak from a seafood place. I still love those biscuits. :0) read more

Came in on a Sunday afternoon for dinner with my parents. We had a delicious meal all across the board. More importantly, however, as someone who's worked in the service industry for 10 years in both New York City and Los Angeles, I very much appreciate servers who provide a fantastic experience. It's not easy to do. Our server, Rachel, was top-notch from start to finish. She was extremely pleasant and warm; she provided several helpful suggestions, guiding our choices to what we wanted, saving us combing through the menu. As we ate, she continued to anticipate and fill our needs in a timely manner without being overly intrusive in any way. Wonderful service! read more

Red Lobster - Create Your Own Trio - Seafood Near Me - Layton, Utah

I wish I could remember what we all had because is was all really good except my coconut shrimp it seemed like it was the frozen kind and the sauce was too much. The tortilla soup was great, nice and hot and not too spicy. My friends crab and shrimp was done just right. My other friends dinner she said was really good also. There was just one glich. It took them 10 min. to seat us and I don't know why because there were open tables we could see. The wait staff was pretty good too, and they have almost finished the remodel. Sorry my review is not more helpful with more detail. read more

This particular Red Lobster was very, v-e-r-y, slow. Not sure why, the restaurant wasn't crowded, and yet the hostess struggled seating people efficiently. We waited about 20 mins on a weekday... ... ... When seated, our server took our orders right away, but offered us items that weren't options. After waiting about 15 minutes, she came back and told us that we needed to reorder. Why did this realisation take so long? We ended up waiting about another 15-20 minutes for our food to finally arrive. It felt longer though. Dining was okay. We weren't attended to much. Our server didn't return to pickup the extra plates that started to clutter our tables, and she never refilled our drinks - maybe once - during the whole time eating. Food was decent not fantastic. Portions were pretty pathetic. Good point = place was clean at least. read more

We had a great waitress Elizabeth. Most the food was incredible. The only negative was my client ordered a steak and lobster. The lobster was really small and the steak was way over cooked. They recooked a steak but it came out med-well instead of med- rare as ordered. The waitress was so awesome that this negative was out-weighed by her great attitude and customer service. We will definitely go back because of this waitress. read more

When we entered in today, our hostess didn't even smile or acknowledge us. She just looked at us, grabbed four menus and asked us to follow her. It wasn't even busy for that kind of treatment to be excusable. Our server was quite nice and I didn't have anything to say. We ordered some appetizers and the mussels were so salty~~ it was hard for some of us to eat it without grabbing us some plain bread to balance all the salt. We got out entrees and most of it was also salty or over seasoned. The fish were nice and for the most part fresh. We just wished it wasn't so salty. read more

Came in on a Sunday evening. Was seated within 5 minutes! Our host was very polite, the waitress saw us and ordered drinks with us quickly! I was very pleased with the staff that saw us! They quickly filled a second basket of biscuits for our table, made sure we were happy with our drinks and food! Obviously since this is a chain restaurant the prices are as expected, our waitress also made sure we used the app to redeem a coupon! This location is very clean and tables are turned over quickly! read more

It's time I updated my review of this location. I took my wife there today for lunch. As I have come to expect, the food, the service and the venue was good - hence the 3-Star rating. We both has the planked lobster and shrimp bake. It came with corn on the cob and sausage. It was good and a descent value. read more

Excellent food and service! I haven't been to a Red Lobster in years, but it was very good with an excellent atmosphere. I don't really get the bad reviews on it, but for me I enjoyed it! read more

This is the 2nd time in the past two weeks my husband and I have had BAD SERVICE at this Red Lobster, with different servers. Last week, we thought it was an isolated incident, and we enjoyed the Fish & Chips on their lunch menu. Today was my mother-in-law's 74th birthday. She loves shrimp, so she ordered the $20 feast. Our party of 5 had a sub-par meal and experience, after 1:00 p.m., so they weren't busy. The server didn't appear for nearly 10 minutes, by which time we were all ready to order - though we were all parched. Drinks didn't show up for at least another 10 minutes. We had her bring my mom's unwanted salad for someone else, but she ended up charging us for it as a side salad. Mom's "roasted golden potatoes" were tiny, dried-out hard things, and dad's brussel sprouts were so overcooked they were nearly black, and TOUGH - how do you cook them that long? And who puts that on a plate? I couldn't even find our server to get them replaced, until Dad was almost finished with his fish (he had waited, but it was getting cold). He asked for a baked potato, which didn't arrive until AFTER his meal was done. Four of us had Fish & Chips - three of the fish portions were overcooked. Not only did the server NOT come back to see what we needed, she never even poked her head into the dining room so we could flag her down - good thing mom had ordered her Bday dessert when we ordered our meals. (The server last week did the same thing - stayed out of sight totally. Apparently not an isolated incident.) I was fairly peeved by the time I saw mom's dried little potato-things, and the black bullets on my dad's plate, but when I finally saw the side salad charge on the bill my husband was trying to pay, I had had enough. BUT, I didn't want to make a scene - it was a BIRTHDAY after all. Oh yeah, I told the server right away it was Mom's birthday. She barely acknowledged me, then didn't do anything special, didn't offer her birthday ice cream (or whatever they have) . . . When she picked up my husband's credit card, she flung over her shoulder "Oh yeah, happy birthday." We spent nearly $80 for LUNCH -- Let's just say I'm not happy. read more
