Bestie and I were meeting up for lunch but neither of us had a specific restaurant in mind. I was thinking seafood and she explained the new seafood boil offered at Red Lobster. We opted to keep our lunch local and headed to Red Lobster. Our server Kayla took really good care of us. We received water and warm cheesy biscuits right away. She explained they offered two different options for the boil; the one with lobster tails, no sausage. Mariner's Boil. The one with sausage, no lobster tails. Sailor's Boil. We opted for the Mariner's Boil paid extra to add sausage. They offer two different types of butter; cajun a rich flavor with a slight kick. Roasted garlic, a rich flavor loaded with minced garlic. We chose the cajun, ordered a side of roasted and mixed the two for an awesome flavor bomb. There was so much food in the bag which made the price worth it. Can we say leftovers! I even tried the new margarita flight and it was good. Red Lobster has a new CEO and he is listening to the people. read more

Since the new revamp of company thought I'd stop in and try their new sauces. Initially I wanted their new crab boil but they only come with 1 cluster for about $50.00 didn't seem worth it. I got the "crab your way" which comes with 2 clusters, crispy potatoes and a side. That's a better deal in my opinion. Overall Red Lobster is still Red Lobster, as for chain restaurant it's pretty decent crab. read more

Came here on a wed night with my 2 adult daughters as we hadn't been out together in awhile and I was craving Red lobster. First arrived and was seated immediately. Took waiter 10 min to acknowledge us and another 25 min to take our order. We asked for plastic utensils which weren't bright out to well after our food arrived and that was another 58 minute wait. Never received refills on beverages and when we did receive our order almost a hour and a half later it was very unappealing and my daughter and I ordered endless shrimp which we never even got to experience with refills. When asked to speak with a manager she was very unapologetic and told us they were backed up in the kitchen but this is not an excuse to have patrons waiting at a table for over an hour with no complimentary anything for the long wait time. This entire encounter was very unappealing and I will never patronize this establishment again. read more

Came here a couple of Mondays ago. Ordered our appetizer, but our server never asked us what we wanted to drink. We both ordered the Monday special of lobster tail and shrimp scampi which is quite good. Although the place wasn't busy, our server just wasn't attentive. I will give this place another try, but was just disappointed in the service. read more

When we arrived we were seated immediately and the dining room was not crowded. There was plenty of wait staff but we were not even spoken to for 20 minutes after being seated. Then we ordered our food and waited another 30 minutes to get our appetizer. Our main course came out 50 minutes after ordering. I ordered a salad that never arrived. Drinks were left empty and not refilled because our waiter was nowhere to be seen. There was another table that sat for 30 minutes and decided to just leave after not being attended to at all after being seated. I have never experienced such a lack of customer service and would highly recommend trying your luck at another location. I will never waste my time here again. read more

I finally got a chance to stop by and try the new seafood boils that red lobster has to offer that is went viral all over social media. I did not. I'm gonna be honest. I did not care for it like no seasoning at all. It was grease and seafood. I won't order this again, but I still love red lobster as a whole , I will stick with my usual the ultimate feast.. The staff was very friendly. They took my order. Told me how long I will have to wait. I did get it to go. The lady took my order was very nice when I came back to pick it up. It was ready to go. It was clean in there and I'll go back again. Just not to get the seafood boil.. read more

If picking up an order to go, allow alot of extra time. If you go inside, the staff pretty much avoids talking/even looking at you. I spent 15 minutes inside after texting I was "Here", before someone finally said " can I help you". I have no intentions of ordering from here in the future. read more

Ordered the Filet & lobster with mashed potatoes. The Filet was overcooked & ALL fat, the whole table was shacking when I was trying to cut thru the meat of how tuff it was.

Red Lobster had the best deals lately! They are on fire. I had to come in and be a part of it! There is a very chill ambiance when it comes to red lobster. The service is always good, there is always someone waiting to seat you and staff are on top of things. I got the scampi shrimp and I am addicted. I can ever order anything different. And the biscuits are always a hit! I'll be back soon! read more

Manpower wasn't an issue,its just nobody was in sync. Poor training,poor management read more

Hello I use to love eating here. My family and I dine in on 10/4/25 it was not a good experience. The tasting of the food is not the same. There well known cheddar biscuits no longer has that taste, they were very blend, the Shrimp Alfredo was also blend. You may need to go back to the old recipes. The was not a lot of servers but with having a short staff they did the best they could. Hopefully as time comes your establishment can and will do better. read more

I just left here about 30 minutes ago...... and let me save you some time and money!!! This location has fallen all the way off. The service was extremely slow, the Brussel sprouts were burnt and nasty, and the rice was hard and oily- not done at all/ fresh out the box..... and to top it off, the to go meal was missing my baked potato; $212 bucks down the drain. I usually eat at home, but we wanted to TREAT ourselves out..... would've done better at the grocery store; A TOTAL WASTE!!! read more

Red Lobster - Horrible experience from waitress making faces and has a nasty attitude to my shrimp scampi having freezer burn. - Seafood Near Me - Oak Lawn, Illinois

Stopped in late afternoon, was not busy at all. Got seated in the farthest most spot of the restaurant. Service was OK, but slow. Waited forever to get the drink order and had to remind the server about it. Prices have sky-rocketed. $4 for an unsweeted glass of ice tea that came to the table with no ice and no lemon and no refills. Kinda ridiculous. Server brought a glass of water with lemon for my spouse but not me - didn't understand that one. Lobster appetizer was over $16 and came in a saucer sized dish. Overall, pretty disappointed and don't think we will be back. read more

It's now March 2021, pandemic is slowly lifting with rules and regulations. I am still hesitant about going out to eat but seeing the cautious nature of many of servers makes me happy to know that it's possible to come back to some sort of normalcy. Red Lobster, you've taught your workers well, and their kindness and empathy is beautiful. As an Investigstor for the Covid-19 put real, it warms my heart to know that these young folks are sincerely taking things seriously, gives me hope. The restaurant for the most part is doing as it should in regards to regulations due to Covid-19 so that's a super plus! However, the food is tasty but my Kung pao crispy shrimp dish is a bit too sweet. I'm sure it's the way it's made, but spicy yes and sweet a definite part of the taste, and that doesn't fit my palette. But I'm not complaining, it is tasty, just a tad too sweet for my taste. All in all this location is a good location and I am glad we came to see. Good job! But before leaving I did notice one of the young ladies with her mask under her nose, that is not safe practice but other them that, still good job to this location. read more

One of my favorites is the endless soup and salad. Although, I never once ordered refills for this $11.95 menu item. When the server asked if I wanted just the soup and salad without refills, I agreed. This was a huge mistake and the charge was almost six dollars more. Beware of servers contriving ways to increase your check, so that their tip percentage increases. read more

When I walked into the room, I was greeted by my newly found cousin in a room that was dark, dreary, and depressing. When the telephone rang, I imagined it was the year 1970 calling and demanding that they return her furniture. My cousin and I were ecstatic to meet each other. We were shown to a booth right outside the entrance to the kitchen, by a young greeter/seater whosee brightness and freshness caused a sort of cognitive dissonance when compared to the ambiance of the room. It was like she was a supernova that had sucked all of the energy out of the place. My cousin and I both both ordered the Admiral's Feast. The pleasant server brought our food in a reasonable amount of time. Everything on the main plate was colored blah-blah-blasé brown. It looked like they had just cleaned out the freezer and found this stuff way in the back of it. The clam strips were fried hard into rubber pellets. I couldn't tell by taste, but what I think was supposed to be scallops were so small that I could fit 3 of them at a time on the tine of the fork. The fish filets were so thin that they coiled around themselves like a curled ribbon on top of a Christmas present. And, shame on whoever it was that caught those shrimp before they had a chance to grow and experience life in the sea. I worked my way through college as a waiter, so I know things. The baked potato was dense and had been rewarmed from probably the day before. The tiny, mushy, steamed broccoli florets sat in a liquid that should win an emmy for its portrayal of tap water. I think the cheese and garlic walked through the biscuit dough with hip boots on. We had to wait 10 minutes or more for a cold, second batch of bread. (It really wasn't worth the wait.) The food went cold minutes after being served. I gobbled mine down out of respect for hungry children all over the world. My cousin took hers home. I believe she has a dog. I don't mind paying good money for good food, but how is this place still open with the prices they charge? Everybody that came in, including me, was 70+ years old. I hope that the food quality is better at other locations, but I'll never know. I just remembered that I swore off Red Lobster, the last three times I visited them. I guess bad habits die hard, but I am determined to follow through this time. Let me end on a positive note. They're keeping up with pay-at-the-table technology, and the soda pop was, well, soda pop. read more

Waited at table 20 min for server. Ordered fried shrimp, arrived 1/2 hr later. It was fried, should have taken only a few minutes. "Crispy dragon shrimp" was not crispy, covered in Asian-BBQ like sauce. Shrimp was room temp, baked potato was not even warm enough to melt the butter. Cheddar Bay biscuits no cheddar taste. read more

I've been craving Red Lobster recently, and I decided to order takeout tonight via DoorDash. I ordered their lobster, shrimp and salmon meal which included 2 sides -- I picked broccoli and fries. I can appreciate them separating the fries from the broccoli, so it wasn't soggy. I could use more broccoli, and they were kind of limp. I also noticed had a weird butter after taste to it. I'm not a big fan of foods cooked in butter. I also ordered half a dozen of cheddar bay biscuits -- they're so good and to die for. I ended up getting 8 in this bag, and my assumption is that my meal came with 2. Aside from the butter after taste and the broccoli being limp, I don't really have any complaints. I'd recommend this location to anyone in the area looking for seafood without breaking the bank. read more

Seems like this spot doesn't get as much credit as deserves. Dropped in on a Saturday evening for crab legs and bites for the fam. We ordered the lobster dip, shrimp tacos, fish and chips and I had 1.5lbs of crab legs. The service was fast. Waitress was very nice and attentive. Food was great except the crab legs. Since it's a seafood spot I figured more effort would have been put into the crab. After being to so many spots in the city (crab cellar, two fish, crazy crab) I expected more flavor and attention on the crab/lobster. Crab was over cooked and was cold quick. Which let me know it was prepared to order. Also, the flavor was dull and it was difficult to get the meat out of all the crab. I won't be back for the crab, but the biscuits and tacos were a hit. read more

Quick stop for a late lunch and it did not disappoint. Tre was an excellent server. This location is one of the most consistent in both quality of food and service. I arrived and was seated w/in 5 mins. Food had a reasonable turn around. I decided on the Alfredo with Crab pasta and a side salad. Please note that the pastas do not include any sides including a salad. Not sure when that change took place and so you have to purchase al la carte. I know there are more fancy seafood spots throughout the city but I love this food chain staple. I highly recommend signing up for the rewards program. read more

Terrible. I waited with my kids for 50 minutes on a Monday. Tables were empty and managers were present. It does not make any sense on how this establishment does not have great customer service. I am an African American citizen and the managers were African American. Not saying I suppose to got any special treatment but this is one of the reasons our black establishment fail. Customer experiences sucks. Management sucks. I'm spreading the word either deliver what the customers expect. Or don't. Seriously, the experience suck. I do not care if they are black or not. I would rather spend 300+ at STK If I would experience better customer service. Luckily my children love Red lobster but I'm never returning to this establishment. read more

The wait was very short ( a plus) Their carpet needs cleaning. The place has a slight stench. I ordered a shrimp trio with a dessert. I asked for my dessert to come first. The waitress reply was "that's weird. " I asked for Cole slaw she gave me salad ... smh! I didn't make a fuss because she probably did me a favor by bringing salad. The salad had sauce in it. I ask her to take it back and give me dry salad ( salad without any dressing) her reply was "you are weird. " Second insult...smh My food was edible ,but not good at all!!

We haven't been to a Red Lobster in a few years and won't be going back in the future after our last experience.... We came in on a Saturday around 4:00. The restaurant didn't seem too busy but we had a 25 minute wait for a table. Other customers would come in but go right back out because of the long wait times. After the 25 minute wait we finally got a table. The place seemed to be short on staff because our waitress was working tables in two rooms. We had to ask her for multiple things over again because she kept forgetting to bring them. Once we ordered it took over an hour to receive our food. We should have gone somewhere else. Next time. Good luck if you go there. read more
