Went for a family dinner on Christmas Eve, our waiter was amazing! He was super friendly and made sure we had everything we needed! The food also came out good, everything was hot and everything was right! read more

Someone needs to either take over and fully revamp this place, or put it out of it's misery. We were escorted to our table by a person that I assumed was to be our server. (No hostess). Upon reaching our table, the floor around and under it was covered with trash. The surface was obviously wet and covered with crumbs. I told our escort that the table looked terrible and needed to be cleaned up. She informed me that it had just been wiped down and was clean. I told her that they appeared to have missed the solids and wiped up a pile of crumbs to demonstrate this. She seemed to take offense at this and ignored me, then just walked away. I soon learned why. It was not our server, but the bus person that was responsible for cleaning it up. The table was wet, sticky, greasy, and covered in solid waste, all at once. The server came and was pleasant, offering to have the table cleaned again, but I had already wiped it down with paper napkins and figured it was as good as it was going to get. I also didn't want it wet again while seated at it. The food was not really much better. The shrimp was overcooked and rubbery, the "loaded" baked potato had butter and a dollop of sour cream on it, just like Wendy's baked potato. The fries were half cold, as well as limp and soggy. The fried fish was much the same, greasy and cold. On the way out I ducked into the rest room to wash my hands, and it smelled like an outhouse. Needless to say, I had all of this place that I think I want. Be aware. read more

Biscuits were delicious and fresh. Didn't have to ask for more, they were brought right out. We ordered mozzarella sticks for an appetizer and they were fantastic. The steam bag was SO good. It had lobster tail, shrimp, crab legs, potatoes, and corn on the cob (you could tell corn was frozen and kinda mushy after being cooked, still okay). Everything was so good and we will definitely be back. Server was fantastic. Place seemed clean. Nice and quiet but could hear people chatting and laughing quietly. read more

Red Lobster - Steam bag - Seafood Near Me - Marion, Illinois

Food was good. Service was just good enough. Ambiance was pretty average for a place its scale. Steak was tough to the point that I couldn't eat it. Heck, I could hardly cut it! Upon asking, they gave me another steak. It was much better. Lobster & baked potato were good. They had a maître D who came around and checked on us. Nice touch. The bill came and it was very expensive. I paid dearly for that lobster tail. However, I wasn't surprised. This is a once a year restaurant for me. But I definitely will come back. read more

Imagine going to red lobster during their crab fest week and not being able to add crab legs to a meal. Weird right? I've always had an option to add a 1/2 pound or pound of crab as a side. No more. read more

Got $102 of take out, and the food was disgusting, I deleted my Red Lobster app and will never go back. I wondered why the parking lot was nearly empty on a Sunday afternoon, now I know why read more

My husband and I went to this location for the very first time yesterday. We were greeted and seated immediately and our server arrived quickly. The place was very clean and our order was quick to come. It had no flavor. We had the Lobster bake which has pasta in it. The bowl was so full of liquid everything splashed all over. I don't believe we will be back. read more

We came her for a Friday in Lent. I got grilled shrimp skewers, salad, and a baked potato. All were very good. The biscuits as always were fantastic. The server was excellent, and she did a nice job throughout our meal. read more

Fish n Chips are Awesome! Having grown up in New England, I've always loved the fish n chips you can get along the East Coast. But when I moved to the Midwest I quickly discovered that good seafood in general--and fish n chips in particular--was very hard to find. So! I'm happy to say that the classic Fish n Chips at Red Lobster is a great find. A BIG piece of fish, good coleslaw, and in my case, a garden salad (and this great BUTTERY biscuits) are a perfect Friday lunch. And they're the $2 off Friday Special, too. Perfect! Michelle was great and I am very happy to become a regular at this restaurant. See you next week! read more

It's red lobster. The food is red lobster. How are you? Would like the restaurant is if you like red lobster food. I happen to love shrimp scampi, and the cheddar bay biscuits. Therefore I love red lobster. The salad I got before the meal wasn't the freshest. That being said I don't go there for that little salad. read more

Usual fare. Nothing gourmet, but definitely satisfying for seafood and drinks. Service is good as well. Will visit again

Meals tasted great, seating was awful, barely any people yet they wanted to group everyone together, hostess sat 2 large customers both coughing, sneezing, sucking snot back into their throats making ungodly national geographic noises beside us. Wouldn't try again for awhile, a shame was nice food and server couldn't have been friendlier, maybe to go is the way to go until they learn how to seat people instead of cafeteria style grouping. read more

My friend went here and asked for a virgin drink and was given a drink with alcohol. For religious reasons he does not drink. When given the crushing realization that he was given his first taste of alcohol in 27 years and broke his religious covenant, he was told"I'm sure they'll understand". The waitress assumed no guilt and decided for the customer how they interpret their faith. I am an atheist but it is unacceptable behavior to make religious assumptions for someone else. I can't recommend a place like this. read more

1 year ago: lunch specials honored all 7 days of the week, crab linguini & salad $17.99. Now crab linguini $23.99 add a salad $5.99 AND smaller portions!! No thank you! I'll buy your crab linguini but the salad should be included!! I experienced the price increase in Paducah and tried the one in Marion, as it used to be the best. Turns out it went downhill too! Every Red Lobster has taken a dive, used to be the "go to" for seafood, not any longer!! read more

I always stop at this one when passing threw marion,IL. Only had an issue once about food taking like 30 mins to get to me but i can kinda over look it due to it already being pack with other customers. Waitresses all seem fun and calm. Nice personalities. Highly recommend stopping by. read more

The servers were great !!! The cook needs his ass kicked. We loved Annie & Kelsey especially. The food was rushed out, we get it. Tons of people celebrating graduation, but we already waited to be seated. Why rush the food out?! Even sadder we're a bunch of lobster LOVERS ALL & ALL great service the cooks need the boot read more

Red Lobster - Just the Mashed potatoes - Seafood Near Me - Marion, Illinois

This location can be very hit or miss...I will tell you my most recent visit was definitely a hit out of the park! I was promptly greeted when first walking through the door. The restaurant was very clean. I was taken to the table and immediately the server arrived and she was incredibly friendly and attentive the whole entire time. She brought out my drink and the biscuits quickly. The biscuits were perfectly golden brown and delicious. The appetizer was also delicious...it was a dip...I think it was called lobster dip?! Anyways, the dip was incredibly flavorful and came out piping hot. The entree was the Cajun Alfredo which also was very tasty. I definitely enjoyed my experience and will be back. And as always, Annie was wonderful...how lucky you are to have an employee as great as she is! read more

Red Lobster - Cajun Chicken Linguini Alfredo - Seafood Near Me - Marion, Illinois

Yes, Red Lobster is Red Lobster. The food is the same and always will be at every single one, but the service is the best I've ever had at any of their locations. The staff is incredibly courteous and nice. The managers check up on you to make sure you were taken cared of promptly and they also greet you on the way out. Service with a smile! I love it! I love the Cheddar Bay biscuits, Raspberry lemonade, and red wine vinaigrette. Those are only things that Red Lobster has that no one else does. read more

My wife and I have not been in over 15 years. She was having some tests done in marion il so we, i decided to treat her before we headed home. Expectations were exactly were they were back then and they did not disappoint. From forgetting my steak completely to not cooking it correctly at all, then the lobster tails were so cold and tough I'd been better off eating straight from the tank. We got two biscuits when we got our salads but no matter how many times they told us they were in the oven they never showed before I was done eating. They claimed they got busy and were not expecting a crowd but I say BS since its endless shrimp until 6 PM. They did comp one of our meals but I will not be back to this location or any other. read more

I would like to start off my review by saying I haven't been to a red lobster in over 10 years as they are non existent in Massachusetts. We had a huge party we went for my nephews college graduation the young man who was our server was so pleasant helpful and accommodating Croix I believe was his name food was just as I remembered it just wish I could've packed some cheese biscuits and bring some back home to Boston they are AMAZING read more

We have always liked Red Lobster, and due to traveling for work, have been to location's across the Country....with that being said, I must say the Marion, Illinois restaurant is truly the " Cream of the Crop," the "Best of the Best," and the most professionally ran location we have ever had the pleasure of visiting! From the Manager's to the Server's, this staff knows how to create a wonderful dining experience! Everything from our Lobsters to our salads and appetizers, we're cooked to perfection and served in an elegant and timely manner-the presentation was excellent!! If you want to experience a fantastic, fine dining meal, with staff that make you feel comfortable, in a "Country Club" kind of ambiance....go to the Marion Red Lobster! We've never had anything, any better, than here! We will definitely be back! Thank you to the Manager's, for keeping your "Bar" high, and training your staff to achieve the excellence needed to reach that "Bar!" read more

This restaurant is outstanding. Traveling from Dallas and had a wonderful dinner here today.

I and my family of 4 went to Marion IL Red Lobster this past Saturday. we ordered our food and appetizers and by the time our meal came I was full on the appetizers and biscuit. I took my meal home and heated it up the next day for supper. to my surprise the sirloin meal I bought for 19.99 was so bad. the fat and Grisel was so hard to bite through I gave it to our dog. I was so disappointed in what I got. I have never had fat and a large amount of Grisel in a serloin steak before. read more

The food was okay but, the service was wonderful. I'm still in love with the chedderbay biscuits!!!! The lobster was a little over cooked but the stuffed mushrooms were awesome!!! read more

Red Lobster - My stuffed mushrooms...Mmmmm - Seafood Near Me - Marion, Illinois

We are only here for a conference and mom saw the Red Lobster sign when we were out for dinner. Of course the biscuits are ah-mazing, but even better was the outstanding service we were given by Jessica B. Oh. My. Goodness. This is a genuinely happy person who obviously enjoys her job. The food is good, but you go back to have a great experience from someone who has a wonderful smile on her face. You ROCK Jessica B!!! And if we ever find ourselves back in Marion, YOU will be who we will request. Thank you for being awesome. read more

We went to the all u can eaT shrimp, everything was great , the service Was super fast, and all dishes came out hot and delicious read more

Red Lobster - Mmm so good - Seafood Near Me - Marion, Illinois

I have never written a positive review on yelp. Our experience tonight was so nice I wanted to share though. I had ordered alaskan king crab and it was really good. one of the crab legs was still cold though so i asked if i could get a different one. the manager then came out and gave me literally like 2 lbs of extra crab and appologized profusely and even tried to take 20$ off my bill which I told her was just too much. she was really sweet and I was just overwhelmed by their service. definitely recommend. pic of all the extra crab they gave me... lol read more

Red Lobster - 2 lbs of apology crab :-) - Seafood Near Me - Marion, Illinois

We did curbside pickup last night. It was fabulous! It was delicious and fast. We ordered the coconut shrimp. Next time I will ask for extra dipping sauce. read more

It is what it is. A relatively poor excuse for seafood if you've ever had good seafood. I went for all you can eat shrimp, which is the only time of year I can really stand to be there. It's a bit annoying to get into and out of this place, but it's fine. If you're in Southern Illinois and in the mood for seafood, this will cut the cravings. If you're passing through and have other options, go elsewhere. read more

Of course I've been to this chain many times and believe it or not I will rate each one.and each one has a big difference. This place was OK, but I think the portions are getting a little skimpy. In the past they used to grate the fresh Parmesan cheese at your table along with fresh ground pepper for your salad. Now thats gone.. I guess these are things of the past. When you skimp on the portions thats a great sign of trouble ahead. read more

Great Red Lobster in the Marion area I personally like the steak. It's a chain so you know they all say they taste the same and I say no, this place is much better than some that I have eaten at. Make your own decision but I approve of this particular red lobster and will come again. read more

We had a wonderful dinner at this restaurant last night. I had my favorite coconut chicken and my daughter really loved her snow crab. Our server, Jessica B. was fantastic. We could tell that she is happy to be there and was very attentive to all of our needs. She was so friendly and made our evening fun. read more

Amazing food! Ursula was an awesome waitress. Coconut shrimp are to die for!!!!! Especially with the dipping sauce

The quality of the food has just been getting worse and worse. I remember the days when we used to get warm, soft rolls and huge plates of delicious combinations. However, every time I go back, I feel like there's not really one good thing I can say about it. The shrimp alfredo always has SOOOO much oil underneath it and sometimes I have to ask for a separate bowl to put my noodles in so it's not sitting in a puddle of fat. And trust me, it's not easy for a guy like me to make such a ridiculous request. The shrimp scampi's still one of my favorites, but like Ricardo K., I also feel like the portions are getting smaller... so I usually try to take advantage of the all-you-can-eat shrimpfest. I do feel like either the service is bad or they just treat younger people poorly because they feel like we don't know how to tip or something... The main things that stay basically the same are the salads and the clam chowder though, you can't go wrong with those. read more

Love when we have a reservation and wait 40 minutes past our time. Yet still NEVER get seated and no apologies at all. Also really horrible i unpleasant hostess. At 5:30-6:30 time was the time we waited... I'll be calling in also. Not acceptable read more

Excellent Customer Service! Shrimp. Lobster, crab legs were prepared with perfection. Love the Cheddar rolls. What a perfect Christmas Eve Dinner with the family. Thanks Red Lobster!! :) read more

My in-laws are elderly and ordered a dish called the Yukatan. It was so hot they couldn't stand to eat it. The manager came to our table and apologized so sweetly and took it off our bill. Such wonderful, caring staff. I will definitely be back when I'm in Illinois read more

The food was good . Service from the waitress could have been better but management is very nice. They undercooked my husbands steak and forgot the lobster . It was his birthday so the lady manager with the southern accent comped the meal and remade to the food. I thought that was extremely generous as he just wanted his food remade . read more

Best Red Lobster and best service ever from Ursula! We were in town for graduation and this gem of a Red Lobster was such a nice surprise! Ursula is an oustanding server and the food was great. This location should be a prototype for other Red Lobsters. read more
