Red Lobster - Mark you rock - Seafood Near Me - Modesto, California

Good Evening Yelpies !! I know it's been a while since my last review but I must do my due diligence with this location.. Even though it is a high volume restaurant and heavily advertised for its seafood I must say that the food was ok... not much to brag about and the service issues started at check in and quickly became a standard through out the whole meal. The waitress was overwhelmed, forgetful, and slow not a good combination for serving food. ( I feel bad for her because she really was working hard and the restaurant looked short staffed) We showed up at 6:30 and left at 8:00 .One of the longest dinners I've ever had ... Good luck over there Yelpies you might want to bring a sleeping bag just in case the meal takes you into the morning. (I wish I was joking. They must be short staffed in the back of the house too‍) read more

Met up with friends for lunch. Server Laura was the best!! Restaurant is clean; decor okay. Enjoyed the Coconut Prawn Salad; tasty, light, and good portion. read more

Service very slow, one hour before we got our food. Waitress very attentive but food took a long time. Lobster was not fully cooked very mushie not firm and no seasoning bland. Waitress tried to make it up gave us a free desert, rolls and a brownie I don't blame her at all, problem was the kitchen read more

We LOVE Red Lobster food, but customer service here in Modesto during this time of take out orders is pretty awful. We ordered 3 meals and one was the $18 skewered shrimp. We received a tiny container with 9 tiny shrimp. The young lady offered zero help to resolve why we were short shrimp and why they were so TINY. She could have cared less. This keeps happening....do they not care about quality? Or customer satisfaction? read more

Worst customer service ever. We got seated right away as the restaurant was empty. There's two servers just standing at the bar, not paying attention to any of the customers or any of their tables.. after they made eye contact they kept walking by. After 20 minutes of waiting in an empty restaurant with very few customers we left. That was definitely enough time for a server to come and at least take our drink order....... Nothing . Left upset and hungry. I will never go back to this restaurant. As a kicker they just watched us walk out . read more

I ordered a side of King Crab legs. My husband ordered a cheeseburger. We waited almost an hour to get our order! When my crab legs finally arrived there was more disappointment. These were NOT king crab legs. No way. Smooth shell like a dungeness. They were the size of a large Dungeness crab. When the waiter dropped them off I had to ask for a crab fork and nut cracker. Turns out the nutcracker wasn't needed because these were DUNGENESS crab legs, not king crab. I was looking forward to this, but instead feel ripped off. read more

My crab legs were covered in leach eggs. Basically parasites. The manager came out and asked what was wrong? I told him my crab legs were covered in parasites. He looked at the plate, picked it up and walked off. Didn't say anything at all to me. Very rude! Like dude don't be irritated at me because the crab legs I was served were covered in parasites. After he walked off I sat there for a while waiting for someone to come back. My server eventually came back over and asked if the manager had came out yet? I said yes he came over, picked up my plate and walked off without saying anything. I then told her I didn't know what he was gonna do but I was ready to go. She said he discounted my meal. I asked her to show me the discount. Soooo my discount was $3.99. Really? I'm not an idiot I know the cost of crab per pound. The server apologized and I realize it's out of her control. As a business owner myself, this manager could use some customer service training. I tipped the server well she did what she could. The manager however is a joke! read more

disappointed menu is very small and stifff mushrooms were not great when will they get back to a full menu don't think i will be back read more

Don't bother going here! Everything about it was terrible. The evening began by my elder friend asking what kind of soda they hand. The server opened the menu and pointed to the choices, requiring her to read the menu, which she was unable to see. Shame on u Red Lobster! Discrimination, embarrassment, and rudeness! We received no biscuits, as is usually provided, no silverware, no napkins, and after waiting for 42 minutes, I asked to speak to the manager. And, magically when she showed up, so did our biscuits, and we finally received the shrimp tacos we both ordered. Cold! I asked if we could have silverware, or if it was assumed that we would eat the open faced tacos with our hands, that we needed napkins. Both the manager and server basically just stared at us! Manager just made excuses. "They had a couple of big parties, they had trouble getting the biscuits out of the kitchen, and regarding difficulty ordering beverages, she said cooperate directed them to just open the menu!" ( There were four empty tables in direct proximity of us!). No apology, just excuses. End of discussion. We received the bill. Just thrown on the table. We did received an $8.00 discount. Again. No conversation, no positive interaction. Miserable evening. REALLY! DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY OR YOUR TIME. And, if you do go, bring your own silverware, make sure your vision is perfect, expect a long wait for your food. and enjoy it cold! read more

Horrible meal.. can't believe how much it's gone down hill. Even the biscuits were hard and burnt. Not worth a hundred bucks for two people for lunch! They even charged extra for the soup? although we traded it for two of the side dishes no stars.. Won't be going back for sure .. read more

Idk how this place only has 3 starts... First of all Jordon our server was awesome he gave us time to decide what we wanted and was on his A game. Made sure we always had bread and a full cup. Even if the food was bad we would come back for the good service. Second the food was delicious.. stuffed mushrooms so yummy! My husband doesn't like mushrooms but he tried one and enjoyed it. Everything was made perfectly. My plate isn't that full because I started eating it before the picture. We will be back. read more

Due to COVID-19 with "Shelter In Place", I placed a DoorDash order for Mother's Day dinner. I got the message that our order was accepted. Later, I logged-in to see when to expect our delivery. They had cancelled our order because they were "unable to" fulfill it. My already low opinion of that restaurant got even lower. My wife however loves their food, so that's why I tried to get the Mother's Day dinner she wanted. read more

We recently went to the Modesto CA location for our Son's birthday. 2 of the orders were for Shrimp - choose 3. We were charged for unlimited Shrimp on both orders and never received either side order (frys). The server never came to check on us until we were finished eating. No drink refills or to resolve the issue missing sides. I called within a couple of hours of leaving to try to resolve and spoke to Erica who apologized and agreed to credit my account but that never happened. If I could give them zero stars I would. While the charge in error and missing frys was likely only worth Around $20+ or so of a $146 bill, they should have credited me at least $40-$50 for all the issues we went through. Terrible service especially considering we arrived early and they were not very busy. In addition, the manager was too busy to take my call. Update: After I challenged the charge on my credit card, Red Lobster credited my card $21.77 which is about the amount of the overcharge. read more

This establishment should be closed down for good. Disgusting is an understatement found 2 hairs in clam chowder and one in the steak how does that happen???? Someone is deliberately messing with paying customers food. I took a few spoon fulls before I got the spoon full of hair!!! This needs to be further investigation I placed my order yesterday and I've been sick FOOD POISONING! I've never gotten sick like this before, this is a crime deliberately contaminated food. I will be going to the hospital and I hope red lobster sees this and takes action because I will.!!! read more

If I could leave 0 stars I would. Showed up about 5:00 on a Saturday, told us 35 minute wait so we decided to sit in bar and eat. Waited maybe 15 minutes to get a drink, bartender said she was alone. Ordered food and waited another 30 minutes for the wrong food and it was COLD! $127.00 dollars later what a sad sorry place they call a restaurant. Don't go there, you might as well toss your cash out the window on highway 99.... read more

Why is your food so good , Red Lobster !?!?! Your wait times are horrendous !!! Your staff was so mean to my grandma !!!! You've sat as at tables with chewed biscuits on the seats!!! All these horrible things aside my mom still forced me to order salmon from you and I still begrudgingly eat your 30 dollar fried shrimp party bus if a tray while punching the air in front of me because I'm so upset at myself for giving you my money .....but god dang it, Red Lobster.....I think deep down inside there's a good spirit in there somewhere . I think deep down you like feeding your community . I hate that you're all the way by the freeway hiding on a dead corner on sisk road by that creepy Chuck E. Cheese. I hate how dark your dining lounge is . I hate that your staff members sang happy birthday to my grandma with the enthusiasm of a pack of zombies being denied their bounty ...but honestly Red Lobster ? I'll keep going to you because your salmon is too dang good . Your biscuits really are too dang good . And for being smack down in the middle of a busy central Californian town you have some pretty fresh sea food so WHATEVER , RED LOBSTER. Keep being wildly mediocre because you know you can ! I love you . Sincerely, AJ read more

Everytime I go to Red Lobster I like even less. This last time, we were given a 45 minute wait. I went into the bar to have a beer. I sat at a table next to the bar and was immediately told that unless I ordered food I couldn't just have a beer. The bar area was deserted except the bar stools. I went outside as there was no other seating inside. People and more people waiting to be seated. Is this any way to treat your guests? When our party of five finally seated (in the bar) we found they have changed their menu. The Loster Fest changed. NO CRAB LEGS. And terribly expensive. I won't be going back unless someone in my party requests it. read more

Don't order Take Out! Ordered two ultImate feasts and they forgot the lobster tails! Paid $20 to Uber eats for delivery plus $73 for the food just to not get lobster!! Then they say well we can refund you the lobster tailss but you have to come pick them up... from Riverbank to Modesto ... so what was the point of take out and Uber eats ?? Also the crab legs were freezing cold, everything looked thrown together haphazardly. read more

Returned to RL, hoping for better experience. Bonnie delivered probably the best experience ever. She took care of us and was a total 180 of the experience we had there weeks prior. She was definitely an OG in the game and it showed with her attentiveness and service. There should be more people like her in the service industry, ones who know how to make a guest feel at home. Thanks Bonnie! read more

Quality has really gone downhill. They served us leftover biscuits that were hard as a rock. Gone are the days you get fresh, soft biscuits. Salad was wilted like it had been mixed a day earlier. Nothing seemed fresh. Very disappointing. read more

Red Lobster - No traffic @ red lobster. - Seafood Near Me - Modesto, California

We went on a Tuesday evening about 5 pm, it wasn't busy and we were sit immediately. This was my first time at this location, found only by using Yelp. No problems, good food, great service. read more

The oyster did not get me sick, it was a risk but I love oyster! Not sure where they came from but definitely not from the north east coast. The lobster bisque must be from a bag from corporate kitchen, it has taste of cream and some artificial lobster flavor, definitely not made onsite from the ground up. The 1 1/4 lb lobster was fine but I think it live in the tank for a while, it lost some body ! The bill was not cheap, it should offer higher quality food. read more

We were seated right away. They forgot to order our appetizer. Didn't bring us silverware till after we got our food and I had to ask for them. The food was ok. Didn't refill our drinks or water unless we asked. He brought our check right away. On top of all of that there were mosquitos in the restaurant. I will never go there again. read more

Terrible service. The steak was decent the lobster seems to have gotten skimpier over the years. Our waiter never checked on us. The quality of this place has really gone down hill. Definitely not worth the price of the food/quality/service. You guys need to do better! Last time coming here read more

I realize that we are in a pandemic but I just spent $90 for two meals an appetizer and dessert and I am so disappointed. I called to place an order and the girl on the phone was very nice and took my order correctly as she read it back to me. My side salad is a box of lettuce and a side of ranch. My dessert was supposed to to be a warm apple crostata with a side of ice cream. The crostata was frozen and I did not receive any ice cream at all. I drove 30 minutes to be disappointed but the food was delicious as always. read more

We were a party of 10 and we were seated within minutes. The food was excellent (tasted better than the Red Lobster in Chula Vista where I live--too salty at this location) and the service was excellent. Justin was our server and he was pleasant, friendly, and professional. The manager came in to check on us and we only had compliments and absolutely no complaints. We enjoyed a great family dinner and took advantage of my rewards and their specials. Overall great experience and would definitely recommend. read more

Love the food! Great anytime we go, but sometimeS it seems like they sit people in no mans land (no servers assigned to the area) so it's been interesting the past few ttimes... but food is absolutely amazing!!! read more

Terrible. We go here on my birthday annually. Needless to say we will not be going back. Slow service, the sides were terrible and the lobster did not not appear fresh. They did not give us eating utensils. Asked for butter and they brought it at the end of the meal. Save your money and go somewhere else. read more

Worst crab I ever ate! The texture was like mush. You could not even crack the shell the whole thing would bend. I used a fork and a knife to cut into the shell and I still could not pull out a whole solid piece of crab because it was mush inside the shell. Very disappointing! Especially because the only reason I went because it's their crab fest if that's their specialty right now it should be fresh and good! A couple sitting at a table aside from me had the same problem. She asked me what the trick was to get into the crab because the shell would not crack...just bend. I told her I didn't even eat it...it's mush. She even said you can't crack the crab it's soft shell. Absolutely horrible! On the plus side, service was excellent. The server was so nice I didn't have the heart to tell her how horrible the food was. I just waited until after I paid the bill and then I let them know as I was walking out the door. read more

Husband and I came on a Tuesday night for date night. Our food came out cold and our steaks came out well done when asked to be medium rare. Food was so cold that it tasted awful. Couldn't finish it. When brought up with the waiter, the waiter had to go back and forth with us and the manager. The waiter was made to be the middle man instead of the manager coming out to handle it. The manager only came out after 10 mins and her immediate response was why we didn't tell the waiter we were on a time crunch when we said we needed to get going. She tried telling us she could give us a gjftcard. After listening to us explain how had the food was, she ended up finally taking the food off the bill. No manager should make the waiter go back and forth for them. read more

Three hour wait for a party of 6 on mothersday. To be expected I guess. Seems like I remember this place being a lot nicer. The place definitely looks a little out dated. Was the food good at least. You might ask. It was just ok. I'm not a fan of how they butterfly the lobster tail. It was very dry. Keeping in one piece would have been much better. When the waiter showed up with some of our appetizers, he dropped half of the cheese sticks. By the time he came back with the rest of them we were half done with our dinner. The best thing they make here is the butter. If your not coming here to order a full lobster out of the tank skip this experience. Not so awesome anymore read more

I decided to try Red Lobster for the first time and ordered their Sirloin/Lobster tail combo. The price was was low at about $22.00 which ended up matching the quality of the food. The Sirloin was tough and tasteless and the lobster tail was dry. I'll not return and cannot recommend it anyone else. read more

Went in with a party of 5 on today 11/1/2023 around 3:30pm. It wasn't particularly busy and seemed decently staffed. Once we sat, our server was m.i.a for probably 10 or so minutes. We waited awhile to even get drinks, had to ask for silverware and they didn't even have enough on hand for all 5 of us and had to go roll more. We also had to ask for biscuits which we didn't receive until well after our apps/soups/drinks came. Having to ask for things, sometimes multiple times, that are usually a given, was a common theme during the visit. Our initial server, while nice enough, wasn't checking in often, and never took our order for entrees. Thankfully a different server eventually took over and saved the day, to the best of her ability! Once she took our order, tracked down biscuits, got us refills and started to clear dishes (she was playing a game of catch up at this point) our food finally came out, only for one of the people at our table to find a very long white/light blonde hair in their food. We were given a discount and the food was remade but of course this extended our stay even longer. All told it took just over 2 hours for us to eat our meal. Shoutout to our second server Taylor for being super friendly, making up for lost time, trying her best to make things right and just generally staying on top of things once she took over! It made a bad experience more bearable! SHE should be the manager because it seems like she actually knows how to get things done. I place blame on the management for not properly staffing, keeping things on track or keeping their employees on top of tasks that should be maintained (like having utensils ready throughout the day) regularly. Overall I would NOT recommend this location to anyone, I've scarcely had a worse overall experience at a sit down restaurant before. Maybe we caught them on an off day given that the overall rating is decent, but this will be our first and last time at this particular location. I'm unsure how to rate the service because the servers weren't the issue. read more

Stopped for an early lunch and it wasn't crowded at all!! The worst service ever!! I ordered fish and chips and it was 1 piece of a huge piece of fish that was impossible to eat!! Also very greasy!!! Our server didn't even check on us once during our stay!! My hubby ordered all you can eat shrimp and she didn't even come by and ask him if he wanted anymore, over all terrible service!!! read more

Great Service! Was here 9/24 on a double date. Our waiter was Josh, he was very nice and gave great service, checked in with us and all. Had the Crispy Shrimp Kung Pao Noodles and they were delicious. Definitely a surprise from the last time I went to a Red Lobster. Will be returning :) read more

I am a Rewards member so I took advantage of free delivery and had the awesome coconut shrimp delivered. It was perfect as usual and they included the extra dipping sauce I requested. Can't beat RL read more

Son and I usually go here for their all-you-can eat shrimp feast. We arrived around 5 PM on a Saturday and were seated after only about 15 minutes. We timed it just right, because when we left there were people waiting outside for what must have been at least an hour wait time. As for the food, it is pretty standard for this place, good not great. The salad and cheddar biscuits are always excellent, but the the shrimp re-orders always take too long to arrive and the fact that you can only order one type on each re-order is what keeps people sitting here too long! Waitress was a little slow on the drink re-fills (which seems to be the norm at this place). If you can get seating in the bar area (which is a nice room), then jump on it. Wait times are always long after 6 PM, so either get there before then or wait until after 9 PM! read more

Amazing place! Coconut Shrimp are awesome! The attention is great and the place is clean
