One of the best Red Lobsters I have been to, although the food took a while to come out, I was very impressed with the food quality, food was hot and tasty. These restaurants seem to be hit and miss, but this one was a good one! read more

One of the worst food experiences of my life. This was my families first time coming here. Mt boyfriend was so excited to try lobster and I was happy to finally try this place out. We get there and our server was friendly. Once we ordered, took 30 mins for our sons food to come out, but ours still didn't. We had to wait an extra 45 mins just for the app to come out. I got fed up honestly but during this whole time we had to wait for so long and our son was already done eating. I gave up and ended up going to a manager cause we couldn't even see our server for most of the time. Once we got our food, we were just ready to leave. We don't plan on coming back to this location. Really ruined the vibe for our first time trying red lobster. read more

Food was great !!!! Worth every penny !!! But our service was terrible .. our table along with other tables waited almost an hour on food .... My server not once told us sorry it's taking a while .. can I get anything ... nothing we got our food an while eating we needed to almost beg him to stop walking away so we could get a refill on drinks ... and when we needed something else we gave up didn't even ask .... He kept walking away from us .... It wasn't too busy ... there was a big party on the side yes but seems like he knew who they were and just focused on them and the rest of the regular paying guests were just neglected.... read more

We always love our seafood favorite here. Theresa was our server. She was excellent. We both got the sailor platter for lunch and a small salad. And a little ice cream to celebrate our anniversary. Thanks for that it was special. My only request was to get more salad dressing which she did promptly. We come down from Sonora where we live as ILove Modesto. We enjoyed everything especially the biscuits We wish you would open a place up here. read more

Used to love this place. Was there on a weekday approx 3:00 pm, I ordered clam chowder, the flavor was good, however there were scant clams, mostly potatoes and after a few spoonfuls it tasted of too much butter or olive oil. Dining companion ordered steak and lobster, asked for medium cooked, it came very rare, they took it back to fix, I suspect it was microwaved, had to saw it with knife as it was rubbery, could not eat, after bringing it to servers attention, they removed price of the steak. Our server was great and very attentive. Food arrived in a timely manner. Will try again in the future. read more

Red Lobster used to give 8 shrimp per order. S I I f I ordered coconut shrimp and wanted 2 orders I wd get 16.So then they went down to 6 shrimp and raised prices...now you get 3 shrimp each and prices raised again. We won't be back! It used to be so good and you used to get a salad bread and the 8 shrimp per order. Prices are outrageous and u get not even half of wt u used to get. Red Lobster, if you have lost customers...I sure see why! I can buy it and make it myself. No longer worth coming. My whole family was there and said this was there last time as well. read more

Lobster tails were the toughest I've had. In a largely empty pre-dinner setting, we were seated in a corner table under a 'strobe light' with trash on the floor along the wall. Seemed like the staff was having plenty of fun... read more

CHARGING MORE FOR LOWER QUALITY. Haven't been to Red Lobster in over year for the same reason, except now the quality is even worse. So sad to see the place I grew up with be reduced to just another corporate greedy money pit. Went on a Wednesday night and it was over a 30 minute wait with several tables open! I understand that it's not a Friday or Saturday, so they were probably short staffed, but over 30 minutes for 2 people is ridiculous. Ambiance was dead. So many empty tables, so little waiters and waitresses which explains why the wait time was so long. Service wasn't great. We waited 45 minutes for our food and unfortunately it was not worth the wait. What's even worse is that they're trying to pass a low quality cut of meat as a filet. I had to send mine back the first time because it was over cooked and tasted like a sirloin steak. I even asked the waitress about it and she assured me that it was a fillet. Definitely was not a fillet. The highlight of the night was after we ate, my wife became sick and started throwing up. Wonderful way to end date night. All to say Red Lobster...do better. If you're going to charge more, then deliver on the quality. Focus more on your customers and less on filling your pockets. read more

Red Lobster - Trying to pass a sirloin as a fillet - Seafood Near Me - Modesto, California

First, it's the holidays and they don't decorate for Christmas. So if you're looking for a festive feel, this place will depress you. Secondly they no longer have trout or other catch of the day. As result I had to order their Sirloin steak which was grossly fatty - although they comped me for it. My husband had the seafood bag and the vegetables were soggy and the crab legs too skinny to scrape out the meat. While our server did her best, she evidently did not like me wishing her a Merry Christmas when we were leaving as my greeting was met in silence. After 30 years of frequenting Red Lobsters in different parts of CA, Modesto location is off my list for return. Shout out to the crew at the front--they were darling and I hope they find an employer that suits their brand. read more

My friend and I had dinner here Wednesday night and it exceeded our expectations! Our server was very patient and helpful. He was working the bar, too, and did a great job. Friend loved her margarita! The ambience was just right for us, as it was nice and quiet and it wasn't too cold. Unlike a certain restaurant across the street, we could actually hear each other talk and we weren't shivering to death. We both opted for a deal where you can pick two different kinds of shrimp dishes and then one side. I got coconut shrimp and shrimp alfredo, along with the house salad. The salad arrived nice and cold and we got a big basket of the delicious cheddar biscuits ahead of our main meal. I can't rave enough about how good the coconut shrimp and the dipping sauce was. My girlfriend loved hers as well! Also the shrimp Alfredo was melting in your mouth delicious. The shrimp was cooked just right and the Alfredo sauce wasn't overpowering and the noodles were cooked al dente. It was all too good to be true. My girlfriend got a garlic shrimp scampi and a baked potato, to go with her coconut shrimp. We were so full, we took home half of everything and eating leftovers has been as good as first time around. We both can't say enough about how good the food was and that we will definitely be going back soon. The price was competitive and fair. It's too bad there weren't more people there, because I think if people were aware that they have a new menu, they might be more apt to try it. It was absolutely some of the best food we've had in a long time! read more

Food is terrible was like the cooks don't care really rice wasn't cooked ..best thing were the biscuits... soda was flat red lobster has terrible fountain drinks!!!! Flatlined fountain drinks. This place is a D+ at best ... waitress was very sweet. But food was trashhhhhh . Place should've closed during Covid and never open back up Flava flav was crazy to invest back into this dump. Management team sucks. Avoid. Waste of money !! read more

Mother in law is visiting from out of state and it was her birthday. Decided to go to red lobster because it had been a really long time. Forgetting it was a Friday night, we weren't sure how bad the wait was going to be. Arrived and were told about a half an hour. They now text you, instead of using the pager system, which is really nice. The staff was super friendly and our waiter was fantastic. He was funny and attentive and everything came out super fast. I got the ultimate feast.. my go to item. It has fried shrimp, shrimp scampi, snow crab legs and a lobster tail. You get 2 sides, so I got the ceasar salad and brussel sprouts. This is by far my favorite side caesar. Perfectly tossed in dressing with parmasean cheese shavings. The brussel sprouts were amazing! The waiter showed up with extra butter and lemons without me even having to request it. Everything was cooked perfectly and I devoured the whole thing. Husband and mother in law both got coconut shrimp with mashed potatoes and brussel sprouts. The waiter brought them extra Pina colada sauce for the shrimp and that plate came with more than a dozen large shrimp! They couldn't finish! Kiddos got a steamed lobster tail with mashed potatoes and popcorn shrimp with orange wedges. They both enjoyed their meal, as well. Looking for a beverage? I got the alotta colada, which wasn't listed on our menu. It's a huge Pina colada with a side car of rum. So delicious! Oh and of course cheddar Bay biscuits. The best! read more

Depressing but edible. Dad wanted to try it, and I haven't eaten at a Red Lobster in 10 years, so what the hey. We should have gone home and put frozen shrimp in the oven. That's literally what the shrimp dinner was: Major Sysco frozen shrimp plus a scoop of boxed mashed potatoes. There is only a single option for a side of an actual vegetable. My shrimp-bacon-onion flatbread was pretty good: it's a nice foodie-hipster idea. Their iced tea is surprisingly decent. Servers skittered around as if they were on the verge of a nervous breakdown, so getting timely service or flatware... nah, the key thing is to not make the poor girls cry. The restaurant is clean and looks like someone once tried hard to make it cheerily nautical, then gave up and moved on with life. Music is loud, probably to create the illusion that we're having fun. It's not going to make you sick or disgust you, and if you can glom onto something they put a little effort or creativity into and order some drinks, you'll probably do okay. read more

Red Lobster - Shrimp-bacon-onion flatbread is a high point. - Seafood Near Me - Modesto, California

The food was alright. It was not busy in the restaurant. Our server Alex really was not attentive. He did not bring silverware until we asked the third time. My shrimp took 20 mins to come out, and when we asked about it, he stated he didn't know where it was. Did not seem to want to find out. About 10 mins later, it was brought out. The overall ambiance is dim and red lobster vibe. I have never had terrible service like this and will not be coming back. read more

Looking for a later than normal dinner, so we decided to order from door dash. My wife and I both ordered the Shrimp Skewers with green beans. She order a side of rice and I ordered mashed potatoes. The meal came with 2 sides. I also ordered a bowl of clam chowder. When we received the order the Shrimp was laying on a bed of rice, we still received our 2 sides. If I would have known it was going to come with rice I could have ordered a salad or another vegetable. The green beans had no flavor, I had to add seasoning to make them better. The mashed potatoes were average. I added cheese and a touch of butter to knock it up a pinch. The rice didn't seemed cooked all the way, it was hard, not to mention no flavor. The shrimp was grilled and tasted good. Wish the was at least 2 slices of lemon. As far as the clam chowder, it was good, however the size was more like a cup, not a bowl. The order also came with the cheddar biscuits which are always good. read more

Great food and great time. Only one small issue. Lobster was over cooked and rubbery. Every thing on the platters was really good.

9/5/23, we stopped in to take home some of the Red Lobster menu before attending our new glasses appointment. The waiter gave us several extra biscuits !! $5.00 tip !! read more

Their reservation schedule is a joke. If I could give zero stars I would. I arrived at 6:48pm for a 715pm reservation and was waiting till 830pm till I finally gave up and went home. They called me at 953pm to ask if I still wanted my spot?! Are you serious?! Horrible service. Do better. read more

Seafood boil was alright service was good came out relatively fast was not very fond of

Came here for $20 unlimited AYCE shrimp. Our server ( I think his name was Allen) was wonderful. He got our drinks and order quickly and asked us if we wanted more when each order arrived. My favorite was the garlic butter shrimp, the shrimp skewers and the shrimp Alfredo! They also have this watermelon martini for $5 now which was sweet and comes with a watermelon rock candy stick read more

Went to dinner with family 8 of us. Waitress started out OK but faded quickly. Forgot to put in one of our dishes, than blamed the computer. When asked how she let that happen she got very defensive. Stated she is a human and threatened to call the police. Never seen any performance like that. Must be 2025 to expect all of us to have finished our food (cold) and my wife to have to eat after all of us. And we're expected to not say anything. read more

Beware of the low ratings we got food poisoning from the shrimp here and spent the last couple days throwing up. Full house at home & just us got sick after eating there so for sure was the food since we have barely been able to eat since that night. Food was good though and service was good. read more

My dad, who was celebrating his 80th birthday, was really looking forward to a nice lobster dinner. What a disappointment. After this experience, we won't be coming back. This place used to be great before the pandemic. Now everything is more expensive for smaller portions (including the biscuits) and had minimal flavor, including the drinks. You used to get a side salad or a bowl of soup with an entrée, not anymore, even when you order the market lobster. As for included sides, they were all starches except for one vegetable. You can pay more for brussels sprouts. When ordering lobster, the butter is served in a plastic cup and tastes like oil. The steak was tough, the rice was hard and the baked potato was tiny. As for the service, we went in the middle of the week on a Wednesday, and were seated in the bar, not the restaurant. Which means our server was the bartender who had to mix drinks for the entire restaurant which left little time to be an attentive waiter and everything took much longer to order and receive. The only positive thing I can comment on is the restaurant seemed to be clean. However, I did not go to the restroom and can't speak on that. read more

We found 2 cock roaches at our table when we brought it to the managers attention she was not surprised. We will never go back!

The steak and lobster special did not disappoint. Definitely smaller portions but just enough and of course the cheddar biscuits were very good. Good service we were very surprised there was hardly anyone in the restaurant. It's never been like that ever before always await tonight. The restaurant was 3/4 empty maybe because it was a Wednesday night prime time 7 o'clock, don't know. read more

The food was good, it's just the server or the bartender. Did not ask me do I want another drink or a soda. I feel like a good server should not let you go thirsty. read more

Kassandra Kassandra Kassandra! She moved mountains this day and never missed a check, meal or providing a customer or staff's need! She worked the bar area with smooth precision and grace! And yet - She took only ONE BREATH! KUDOS TO HER HOW SHE MANAGED WHAT CAME HER WAY! read more

Stopped here for a late lunch. Red lobster is known for poor service and it still shows. Most of the food was cold and the biscuits were cold. They are supposed to be hot! Not worth the price. Some things never change. read more

Wanted to give out a special thanks to two people that made me and my families visit to this location OUTSTANDING!!!! from beginning to end. I called myself trying to go to a good place prior to the day before a huge holiday which was Mothers Day but when we arrived on Saturday there were still a ton of business that requires knowledge and experience on how to operate with that volume. Julieta at the front check in desk area was a 10!!!! when it came to customer service and making sure that everyone was helped as well a giving us a kind smile too! My server Josh also was a great person to help my mom who is 81 years old. He was super attentive and also was on top of providing excellent service to the table. Thank you so much for providing the service to us as lately this has sometimes been a challenge. read more

Between this location and the one in Stockton, I used to think this one was better hands down until today. My family and I came in during the mid afternoon to dine. There were only 2 servers on staff, the host and another person who primarily assisted the servers. We had to wait forever for water. The server brought 2 small plates but there were 3 of us. In perusing the menu I was happy to see the sourdough bread bowl and chowder was back. Or so I thought- very little chowder, much smaller bowl and semi warm to taste. It gets better- I ordered a side Caesar salad that barely had any dressing on it but after digging in, had withered and brown lettuce inside. Even worse was the Patron Margarita with a sidecar of Grand Marnier but whomever made the drink made sure it was only 2 tablespoons full of it and the margarita had more citrus than anything. Unfortunately I had poured the liqueur in the drink before I thought about taking a picture of it. During our dining experience, the server never asked how our food was nor did she check on us. She was way too busy helping and catering to the non-minority diners to whom she was assigned. In addition to the obvious neglect and purposeful oversight, we had to listen to a somewhat racist conversation some other diners were having in a booth seated adjoining us but they didn't realize that we were there. The male diner was so loud and I know the other employees and the server heard him but condoned the behavior. As we were leaving, he had the L.O.S. look when he saw us. I smiled and kindly advised him to be careful of the content of his conversations in mixed company especially speaking at such an audible level. Doreen was the most interactive and supportive employee during this visit. She's such a sweetheart. Definitely won't dine here again. read more

Red Lobster - The cute little large teacup bread bowl that contained the cup of chowder. Definitely smaller than it used to be - Seafood Near Me - Modesto, California

The quality of the food is so bad! This food gave me an instant stomachache! I wanted to give it another chance and I really wanted to like it but our lobster tails came out raw!!! We ate a bite each and it was so rubbery and glossy and tasted undercooked. When we brought this up to the waitress she said well we will remake them. She then said luckily they didn't charge me for the remakes! I thought WTF and said I would hope not because if we get sick I'm calling the health department because they are not done or at temperature. The food was served cold on a hot plate it was so weird and not worth the $150 price tag! I don't mind paying that if the food is worth it! This was very low quality and had a total chemical flavor and a fart smell! So disgusting! Save your money or buy the seafood and try to make it at home! This place sucks!!! So my last review from 4 years ago still stands! Don't go there! read more

Had great service and our food was excellent. Based off this restaurant's reviews, you'd think it was horrific and you should never dine here. I have been here 3 times in the last year, and all have been great experiences. The Monday AYCE shrimp special is a steal, cocktails were really good, and the rolls were fres! Our waitress/bartender was awesome too.h read more

Friday night May 27, memorial weekend. Skeleton crew working. 45 minute wait for a table. I sit in bar with my wife and stare at 4 empty tables with no staff to service them. Bartender is great. That's where we SHOULD have eaten. Great drinks. After 35 minutes my sugar is starting to drop. I order an appetizer. Ten minutes later it arrives just as we are called to a table. Our waitress looks like she was phoned to come in as she's leaving town. Asks us questions then walked away before we answer. My wife ordered a loaded potato with crab. Got a baked potato with 6-8 baby chunks of crab. Nothing else topped it. 8.99. My fish & chips arrived at same time. Cold baby fries but the fish was hot. Cole slaw good. The appetizer we ordered and carried into the dining room was great. Calamari. $42 for food is cheap, but we got skimpy so so service. Two thumbs down. Make me wait almost an hour when sections are closed? Not ever again. Not me. read more

Wife and I had not been since we were both kids. Thought it might be a fun date night. No body dining except for two other family's. Other than that the restaurant was empty. The Good: - The place was very clean. I was expecting an old crusty lobster tank with dates decor. It was pleasant. If the dining room was clean, I can only imagine the kitchen is as well - The service was great. Even with an empty restaurant, the servers were not idle. That must be why the place is so clean, they have plenty of time on their hands. Our server was very friendly and honestly deserves a raise or promotion. She is probably why this place is still open. That leads me to the bad The Bad: - If they serve this food to everyone, I don't know how this restaurant is still operating. There are so many chain restaurants you can go to in town that still serve quality food. For $40 I expected to have seasoned food. I ordered the Surf and Turf. The only things seasoned on my plate were the fries, and those were half soaked from the lobster water and overly juicy/watery steak. My wife ordered the Fish and Chips which were also bland and lacked flavor. - I feel like most of what we had on our plates had been frozen up until the point that we ordered. Summery: Overall, we enjoyed the biscuits and the service. Can't say we will be going back anytime soon. Maybe in another 15 years if it's still around. read more

It has been a long time since my husband and I have eaten here and after this experience, it will be our last! I ordered the Lobster Bisque; it tasted like it came out of a box! It was very salty. For the main entrée, I wanted to try something new, the Kung Pao Noodles with Crispy Shrimp. What a disappointment. The noodles were swimming in that awful sauce. This dish was created with no imagination at all! The straw that broke the camel's back was the bill - close to $100. Red Lobster, either close down your restaurant or get new managers and chefs! read more

My dad's favorite... I always go for the lobster, crabs and shrimps. It's been consistently good for years.
