I have NOT dined at Red Lobster in possibly almost a decade! Tonight while on vacation, my family of 7 chose to dine here! First of all, we were seated quickly and in a record breaking time Elena (our incredible server), took our drink order and returned with them QUICKLY! We were dining with two seniors (one with different abilities), and three children! Oh those babies had Elena spending with their "we dine five star requests"! My TV ready children had Elena laughing and running at the same time. We ordered the Brussel sprouts and they were ! Matt, the manager came out to check on us and said even added extra char to my sprouts. This was the first time my children dined at RL and I'm sure they will be asking to come back! Thanks Elena and Matt for a Great Experience! read more

They recently were scored by the Health Department a perfect 100 and we had a gift card so we thought we'd head over and check it out. We both had the Endless Shrimp promotion for 24.99 each. Not sure if it was really worth it as, we both didn't eat all that much. That said, all of the food was great and served very hot. Plates were nearly untouchable it was all so hot. Shrimp were large and tasty for sure (see pics for size, etc.). The coconut shrimp, which are butterflied, were huge and were our favorite. They arrived with a sweet coconut dipping sauce that was delectable as well. There's a large horseshoe shaped bar in the center of the restaurant and the majority of the seating is booth seating, which we absolutely love. Our server BeBe, was absolutely terrific and I recommend you ask for her, but also make sure the host/hostess does not seat you in the closest booth to the kitchen. What would have been a quiet and relaxing meal was ruined by having to hear the continual shouting in the kitchen. Note: the restaurant was half full and as such, we didn't feel we should have been seated nearly in the kitchen. Had we been seated at a better table, the score here would have been 4 out of 5 instead of the 3. Tons of parking all around the place and all for free. They also have strong and free wifi, just like 'Merica! Please see my pics for lots more value info including menu choices/prices and more. read more

Went here on Wednesday May 6th 2026 for the first time with my parents. We came here because we had a gift card to use. We also really don't dine at red lobster, and haven't been at one in a long time. This is located around the area of the coastal grand mall, where there is also a cracker barrell and longhorn steakhouse nearby. There is plenty of parking for red lobster, and we found a spot right away. We then entered, and waited a while for someone to greet us at the host stand, finally, someone came and greeted us and sat us down at a booth. The restaurant itself is quite large and has lots of tables/booths and a bar. Our server, greeted herself right away, and got us 3 waters, 2 titos strawberry lemonades, and one long island iced tea. She also got the biscuits for us. I didn't like the biscuits as much because they taste cheezy, and i'm not one for too much cheese. My parents liked them thought. Took a while for us to look over the menu, and decide what we wanted: they have lots of seafood dishes plus chicken and steak dishes for those who don't eat or is allergic to, seafood. Our server did make excellent recommendations, including answering questions about the all you can eat shrimp! For entrees, I ordered the New Orleans Salmon with hush puppies, and brocoli, my mom ordered sirloin M with brocoli and rice, and my dad got the Shrimp unlimited, with all you can eat shrimp. Throughout our stay, we ordered coconut shrimp, shrimp scampi, and more! We even ordered more and took some home with us including the popcorn shrimp, and coconut shrimp. I tried the leftovers and they were very good! My new orleans salmon was tender and was on par. Our server was great and checked on us. Spent about $175.00 for our whole check. used our gift card and left a cash tip. Would definitely come here again! read more

Ordered the lobster dip with the two types of lobster in it and the sweet waitress I had said it would be 2.00 off on any appetizers their delicious biscuits were on the table and she brought out a big basket of tortilla chips and a side of salsa to go with it . Was too full to order more food so going tomorrow for the daily we'd special steak and lobster tail . With 5 friends . Had good service and good food ! read more

Great food. Even better service from Becca. She was so pleasant and interacted with us continuous, although she was very busy. Becca is certainly one of the reasons the restaurant is recovering from bankruptcy. Thanks for bringing the all you can eat shrimp back and not changing your amazing biscuits. We thoroughly enjoy this location when visiting Myrtle beach, read more

If I could give zero stars I would....tried to give this place one more chance, but they failed miserably AGAIN. Like most ppl, I ordered my drink first SWEET TEA then ordered my food. The bartender looked like he was running a marathon and had 2 couples and myself to wait on. Terrible service ensued. I got my app and my meal, and still no drink....37 mins into my lunch, I asked the bartender where my first drink was, he said I should have reminded him I hadn't gotten a drink....this was after him bringing me food twice. Never asked if food was ok....just was sweating profusely waiting on 5 ppl at 3 locations. Finally the mgr came, and I told him it's no wonder they are failing miserably as a company and factually that their longest running/open location in Florida was closing forever Today. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE....DARK DUNGY WITH MEDIOCRE FOOD AND HORRIBLE SERVICE. Hostess was on her phone at the hostess stand when I walked in, but when I opened my menu, there was food all over it....THATS THE HOSTESSES JOB....Go ANYWHERE ELSE but here. read more

Red Lobster - Completely done with lunch, and my first drink came. Horrible service. - Seafood Near Me - Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

Having redeemed a gift card, we just left Red Lobster and each of us are STUFFED! The husband had a pasta entre, "Lobster Parmadello," savoring each bite to the end and wiping his bowl with the remainder of one of their traditional complimentary biscuits. IMO, these could have cooked a bit longer, adding the "crisp" I recall from years past. Heading home with a take-home box of 4 shrimp and half of my salmon, this generous-sized piece of fish was the FINEST I ever recall having... anywhere...EVER! It was grilled to perfection (kudos to the chef!!) and not quite cooked in the center and delightfully seasoned. I can't recall the title of this dish but it was a combination of grilled shrimp, lobster and salmon, glazed with a brown butter sauce. A choice of 2 sides were offered. I chose the coleslaw (EXCELLENT) and steamed broccoli. The broccoli was way past overdone than any broccoli I can remember being served; yet to my surprise, and perhaps due to the seasoning, I ate and enjoyed every bite! Our server "Liv", was helpful by answering my many questions, including the feedback of previous guests. She was friendly and seemed experienced and sensitive to our needs, giving us "alone/talking time", yet and not leaving us waiting. "Matt", the manager on duty also stopped by our booth to confirm that all was to our satisfaction--a plus!+ Thinking back to our initial entry and requesting a booth by a window, we were politely and immediately seated. Easily keyed in to aromas, odors and fragrances, a vaguely unpleasant odor greeted me, which my husband did not notice. As typical for many of us, it was less than five (5) minutes until my nose (ie., brain) adjusted. Yet, I suggest that this issue would benefit from further investigation. read more

Food was excellent and service was as well. Had an excellent date. Steak was great and so was the lobster. Crab queso is to die for. The place looked pretty modern. Loved it overall. read more

I've never used curbside pick up but because I was 30 minutes away I tried it. I arrived 5 minutes late. I called the number on the sign and the gentleman told me that he didn't have time to check now but he would check to see if the order was ready when he had a chance. I went in and only saw one employee who was behind the bar under a giant to go sign. I told him what i was told and he told me to check in on the app. I said I was not going to down load an app to check in on an app to pick up food already ordered and paid for he told me it's not my fucking problem. I asked a waiter to find a manager. The first guy showed up with my food. Then some guy in a dress shirt is charging at me. I asked if he was the manager which he said he was. I told him what the bartender said to me. His response was to grab me by the elbow and tug while telling me to leave his restaurant. unbelievable all the way around. I might have been inside 3 minutes. Woukd not recommend due to all three interactions being poor customer service. read more

I visited red lobster in Myrtle Beach , I purchased a gift card from my job, A large salad with/bread the person that fixed my food was also the bartender! I went to the back to make sure I got ranch dressing he didn't have on gloves and the lettuce was brown and wilted. I didn't complain I told myself I wasn't going back. hopefully no one else experience this.,,,,Thank Cassie for responding to my concerns I don't have Facebook. read more

My family has not eaten at a Red Lobster restaurant in over 10 years because of their decline in food quality. This Sunday afternoon we decided to visit the Red Lobster in Myrtle Beach, SC after considering the positive publicity their new CEO received. It literally felt like we entered the "twilight zone " as the entire restaurant including ceiling, walls, windows and furniture were grimy and outdated. We almost walked out when the host acted cold and with an attitude of "why are you here?" But we decided to stay and try the food. Totally disappointed and disgusted with the food. We sent back the lobster bisque and the chowder which were nasty. We were not able to eat the seafood because it tasted like freezer burn. And out of respect to our Server, who actually cared about making us pleased with the food, we paid the bill and vouched to never again return to a Red Lobster. I took photos of the food but I will not post them as "looks can be deceiving." read more

Absolutely wonderful. Kevin was our server and he was kind, friendly and professional. He took our order and brought our drinks to the table. Everything was perfect. The food arrived quickly and was perfectly cooked with wonderful flavor. Nick and Jayln were the chefs on duty. Charlotte stopped by our table and we were able to let her know how great the staff was tonight. The place is very clean and family friendly. Kevin went above and beyond expectations by being available for our many questions and comments and was still taking care of other tables. We felt like we were his only guests. His presence on the dining floor was constant except the few times he went to the kitchen to get food. The teamwork there was wonderful too. Looking for a great night out? Consider Red Lobster ..... you will leave with a full tummy and smiles in your heart. Ms. Willie and Ms. Beverly. read more

Very disappointing. I understand why they are bankrupt. The food was mediocre at best. We had the surf and turf. The steak was tough and the lobster tail was quite small. The price was excessive for the quantity and quality of the meal. Won't be visiting Red Lobster again. A real comedown from what they used to be. read more

it started out OK. The biscuits are good. The waitress was fine. The food was horrible. I had the shrimp scampi linguine was horrible. No flavor at all. the worst I've ever had. My friend had The lobster flatbread was horrible later in the night. She got sick to her stomach. I think the lobster they had on it was bad. read more

Went to Red lobster #6318 1230 North Retail Ct Myrtle Beach. This was our 1st time back since the new and improved opening. Don't waste you time or money !!. My wife ordered a $39 sea food plate and the only item on the plate that was worth mentioning was the salmon. I ordered the 7 oz sirloin. I would have to rate the steak as one of the worst i have ever had. The Hush Puppies being advertised were doughy. In the end my bill with tip was $108. I won't be going back !! read more

Burned shrimp delivered to my door...how utterly tacky, Red Lobster! My partner treated us to dinner and you sent burned shrimp! Refund our money or deliver shrimp that are properly cooked! Roasting Brussel Sprouts should be easy enough.... They charred them instead of roasting. Check your food as you cook, fools! Chefs need training and quality control! I am truly disgusted! read more

Started off with the biscuits, they were ok. Drinks took a while to get, there were a lot of servers standing around no one behind the bar. When we did get the drinks they were good. I had the shrimp, scampi and fried also a lobster tail.. My date had the fish and chips. All the food was good and hot, the restaurant insides haven't changed much over the years. All and all it was ok , I would go back , but it was just ok. read more

Every Red Lobster should have a great server like Joanne. In a world where people seem so disinterested in working these days, having someone like Joanne represent you as an employee of the establishment is a bonus. She was personable, efficient, kind and brought out our items in a timely manner, as they were hot and delicious. Drinks were refilled without asking and she even made sure we had a few extra cheddar bay biscuits. This person was a good reason to go back again for another meal. This lovely lady is a great example as a person who actually loves her job and helping folks enjoy a nice meal. Joanne you are da bomb! read more

Food and service are always very good at this location but the ceiling needs to be cleaned and fixed. I counted at least 7 ceiling tiles missing. Not an expensive fix, it looks really tacky. I hope the next time I visit they'll have it fixed. read more

Darden...I won't be darting toward your restaurant any time soon. Let's begin. As my girlfriend and I walk in, we notice it was very quite compared to what we saw on mother's day. And so, with it looking like they were closing (which they weren't) we asked a server if they were open. This guy just flat out rudely ignored us and gave us both this look as if to say: " if I said yes, would you leave?" Bad first upon entrance impression vibes. Skip to the food... The oh so amazing cheezy biscuits I once remembered...were neither of those things. They were burnt and greasy. On to the main entre.. I ordered the Baja shrimp bowl.. The shrimp was neither Baja and the bowl was neither hot (temp wise). It tasted like i was eating a cold rice and quinoa salad bowl w over cooked shrimp. I decided to give them one last shot with the dessert. I ordered the chocolate wave cake. Ya more like wave goodbye. This cake tasted so artificial. How artificial was it?! It was so artificial to the point where I asked our waitress to take it off the bill. Which, she did and I thanked her for doing so. Its a seafood shame. I used to like ole red. read more

We haven't been to a Red Lobster in over 20 years. So when looking for a place to eat on a busy Saturday night, there wasn't a waiting line here. That may have been a bad sign, but we felt adventurous. We were greeted warmly and quickly seated. Our booth was right by the entrance so I didn't see the main dining set up. But what I saw appeared a bit dated and in need of a upgrade. Our server, Kyle, was very friendly and helpful with our selections. We ordered a Lobster Artichoke dip as an appetizer which was tasty and had a decent amount of lobster chunks in it. We also tried the Sweet chilies shrimp appetizer that was very good. A little spice but not over done. I had the Salmon, shrimp and scallops plate which was surprisingly good. There was a good amount of nicely cooked seafood. My only con for the entree would be that it was a little too butter/oil heavy. We also had a crab alfredo and the Seafarers Feast (fisherman's platter). My family said that they enjoyed both dishes. So we were pleasantly surprised and will likely come back again. read more

Well my spouse and I did our once a year dinner at Red lobster,for the Endless Shrimp. My opinion is and has been, Red Lobster is the Walmart of seafood. But the basic part of us really enjoy the shrimp feast. Our service by Jessica/Jessi was really good,not a problem. The food over all was good. Your basic variety of shrimp. We tried all and even the ones on "secret ""menu".. some how thou I always eat the shrimp scampi like a whale eating plankton. Call the Coast guard I need airlifted home,meh. I held back giving a 5 due to fact we waited at host stand so long I almost went fishing in the lobster tank to hold me over till the shrimp. If it's a busy Sunday with Endless Shrimp, you may want to have a couple host. Well that's that . Indulge yourself in the scampi,the pain is worth it. Ps...ironically drink a lot of water when get home because the salt catches up with ya,like the shrimp wanna be back in the ocean. read more

I can no longer endorse this restaurant after a very unpleasant experience involving someone emptying the entire remaining balance from our gift card. The units general manager was contacted by phone that evening regarding this matter and restitution was promptly made, but the floor manager was not helpful whatsoever in pursuing and thus providing any details as to what happened to the balance of our gift card on our previous visit. No documentation is kept onsite to verify how the event occurred, even though I kept copies of my receipts. She simply stated that this was not a Reb Lobster gift card and therefore she could not help me. When I called the help line that same evening on the back of the gift card, they confirmed that the Red Lobster had indeed submitted a $50.17 expense on the previous visit which emptied the entire remaining balance of the card. The total bill had been increased by $6.00, which I can only assume was added to the wait persons tip total. This was after an evening whereby the service received was considered dismal at best and a 20%+ tip would not be considered appropriate. That's like everyone getting a medal for participation or justifying that poor performance is acceptable! The most disturbing part of the ordeal was when I provided the general manager with all the details needed from the original receipt, and he still cannot locate the transaction anywhere in the system! Do you smell anything rotten in Denmark at this point? Was the transaction completely deleted out of the system by someone at Reb Lobster? Could embezzlement be involved, since the transaction is missing in the system, whereby someone transferred the balance of my gift card to another gift card, and then sold that to someone for cash? I expressed my concerns to the general manager that I spoke to by phone that evening, but I did not feel reassured after our conversation that he was willing to go down the rabbit hole to find out what had happened to cause this event! In addition, I recently requested feedback from friends on Facebook and found out that this is not a one time event, and is actually becoming a growing trend. Several friends have experienced the same fate of having their balance on a gift card pilfered by various restaurants! Recommend saving all credit card receipts to make sure additional charges are not being added after your signature! If so, call the police and file a report! read more

My husband and I recently visited this amazing Red lobster location on June 27 for my birthday. It was totally amazing. Yes there was a little bit of a wait time, but our server Carolyne Vasquez was phenomenal. She was so pleasant and super sweet, totally worth the trip to red lobster. She got our orders correct, was very quick to put them out on our table. And her customer service skills are totally 100% on point. Definitely will be coming back just to visit her she's such an amazing server. She really did make our Red Lobster experience the very best. The food is incredible too, everything came out very fresh from the kitchen and the drinks are so delicious. I ended up having an amazing Mojito and ordered some delicious coconut shrimp. read more
