Waited 45 minutes to be seated which is normal and no biggie. We were seated at our table only to wait another 15 minutes for anyone to speak to us, and only to take our drink order. Then another 10-15 minutes of no contact. It should not take 25-30 minutes to place your order after sitting down. Craziness. There were two empty tables next to us. Didn't seem so busy to justify not being able to place our order with someone. We left money on the table for the two kid drinks and left the restaurant without anyone noticing. I've never done that in my life. read more

We've been to this Red Lobster twice and both times it was so worth it. This time was even better. Our server, Nicole, was amazing! She kept up with our drinks, stayed on top of making sure everything was ok. What we loved most was that she kept up with our table but not overbearing with it. We absolutely loved her! Thank you so much. As far as the meals go everything was perfect. I had the shrimp, lobster, salmon dish that was so perfectly cooked. The shrimp and lobster weren't rubbery whatsoever, the salmon was buttery and flaking, my smashed potatoes were so deelish! My husband had the steak and lobster. Hands down one of the best steaks we've had since moving out here. I never thought I'd see the day when Red Lobster had the best steak every, especially after where we came from. The difference is night and day when you have cooks that actually take pride in what they create. We tend to forget there's a Red Lobster because in all honesty sometimes it looks closed down. read more

Went to celebrate granddaughter's bday. She loves seafood. Horrible food and experience! Took forever to get salads which they only remembered after they tried to deliver the main courses and we asked about the salads! They brought the meals and forgot one of the orders. Quickly returned with what looked like leftovers from other plates. Overcooked the seafood so it was rubbery. Said they would get a manager to address our complaints but never did. The biscuits were excellent so that is the saving grace. I ordered a hamburger which would have been good but came with no condiments (mayo, mustard, ketchup or any moisture for that matter) so it was very dry. Last year bday dinner was the same story. Just don't go. It's not worth it. read more

My gf and I were on our trip back from Seattle to Portland on this normal NE rainy day. This is the first time she ever been to a RB and probably my second time only as well. This place sure is much popular than i thought. The waiting was less than 10 minutes. We feel very welcomed by our waitress Teri. Definitely 10/10 service. It is quite busy but we still got our order within 15 minutes. Food has good portion and are cooked to profession at chain restaurants' level. read more

My family has gotten curb side meals several times now and have been very pleased. Consistent quality and perfect timing! Highly recommended read more

Always a good place to go for seafood! Service is excellent in both locations Tacoma & Lacey

I have been to the one in FW and Lynnhood and they are both kind of just ok but this one in particular is actually pretty good. The salad was nice and cold and was really good. I had the salmon which I figured was going to be dry and it was quite good. I also had the shrimp scampi and it was good as well. Service was good and overall I give this resturant a thumbs up if you are traveling through the area and want a good place to go to. read more

Our Red Lobster experience tonight was awesome. Took my husband there for his birthday and they did not disappoint us. Didn't have to wait over 5 minutes. The place was busy but everything was clean and tidy. Our food was exceptional, our waitress friendly and attentive and having a free birthday dessert coupon a bonus. The chocolate cake and ice cream was delicious. Thank you Red Lobster Olympia for a wonderful birthday celebration. The Sanders read more

This was only my second time at Red Lobster! Of course the biscuits got me again! We had a very nice, kind waitress - KT. Our table number changed - from more and back down to less, and she was very accompanying. We were there for about 3 hours, just chatting and waiting for our party. I had clam chowder - I was craving it. Let's just say that the local Seattle chowder is much much better. I guess once you expand your chowder buds, this doesn't do it. It's not bad chowder, I've just had tastier in WA & OR. My fiancee and another party member had the lobster grilled cheese. They thought it was ok. Nothing that throws itself at you. I tried a piece, but I preferred my chowda instead! Military get a free app/desert item. Thank you Red Lobster for appreciating their service! read more

two words... cheddar biscuits. I like that they're finally expanding their non-seafood menu, I had a delicious maple/cherry chicken last time over rice pilaf. My husband always finds something he likes, as he's a seafood fanatic... but this is the first time I found something that sounded yummy other than sides. (seriously, I used to just eat his soup and/or salad, and a billion cheddar biscuits. yum yum!) A little pricey for a chain, but if you can scrounge up a coupon (they have them on facebook occasionally) or a deal (as advertised on the TeeVee), it's not so bad. We get out for under $40 almost every time. read more

I saw the commercial about Lobsterfest, and decided to have Lobster on my birthday instead of the usual Mexican. Started out with coconut shrimp, they were good, ordered a frozen Margarita and the two Main lobster tail plate. They must have had the cleaning crew working the bar and kitchen on that Thursday. Frozen Margaritas do not consist of alcohol on the bottom of the glass and tons of tasteless shaved ice on top. Lobster plate arrived, could not believe my eyes, they looked NOTHING like the ones I had before or like pictured on the menu. Two slimy overcooked masses not even arranged on the shell. Sorry, they looked like two gooey big worms. Why didn't I return them? It was my birthday for heaven's sake and my husband took great pride in taking me there, I did not want to make a scene. We skipped the planned dessert and left in a hurry, and vowed to never return to that place. Lesson learned. read more

This is a Red Lobster, so yes I've had better food, but it was very good for this chain restaurant. The service was excellent. My party of four came here for my birthday dinner. They don't take reservations so we put our name on the list for a table. We were told there was a 25 minute wait. We sat at the bar to order drinks while we waited and were served promptly. The blended peach margarita with silver tequila instead of gold was delicious. Our table was ready in about 10 minutes instead of 25. Our waitress was amazing, but I didn't get her name. Once we ordered our appetizers she realized we would need more space and moved use to a bigger table. We liked that the food came quickly but also gave us enough time to finish appetizers before moving on to salads and main courses. Our waitress checked in just at the right time to make sure we had drinks and everything needed. We got the date night special (2 steaks (medium), 2 lobsters, 2 shrimp skewers, and sides), the sea farers feast, and the lobster lover's dream (lobsterfest). All were yummy. Everything was good and the service was excellent. The people who ordered steaks said that they were perfectly cooked. The only issue is that I'm a rewards member, but I did t want to deal with the- what's my password and account info, so I skipped all of that. We doesn't about $400 so it would've been nice to get rewards. We got 5 appetizers, 10 drinks, 4 main courses w/ extras, so it'd be nice to get those rewards read more

They refused to reserve me a table for 14 for my Birthday! Claiming they don't reserve so we had to wait over 30 min for a table then our food took forever our poor waiter was stressed out! Horrible experience! I even talked to a manager! So pissed about it! read more

I haven't been to this Red Lobster in a long time, I usually go to the one in Tacoma. I had the lobster artichoke dip it was fantastic. For the main dish I got the Ultimate Fest it was very good, ended up spitting the meal which was perfect since there was plenty of food. The service was alright. The waitress gave us diet instead of regular soda. And she said she would give more biscuits but never did. Overall it was a good experience the food was excellent, but the service was just okay. read more

I do not eat at a lot of chain restaurants but I must say, the service at this establishment is outstanding! My server, Ms. James was personable, knowledgeable and was so helpful. Her manager Abby was just as delightful. They both made it a great experience! Funny thing is as I'm having this great experience, I remembered the last time I was there and it was also memorable. Thanks for the good times! read more

We got sick! Red lobster had been my family's big event restaurant. A month ago my husband and I went here to celebrate. Within an hour we were both very ill. We spent near $100. I contacted them asked them to make it right. Run around, run around, run around! I will never spend another dime here! It's been a month, they had a chance. Mothers day is coming. I've got 14 people to feed, and no special place to take them. Fathers day... The fourth of July... Don't give them money to make you run to the bathroom on your special days. read more

My dad and I checked out this location when he was up visiting. In general, Red Lobster isn't one of my go to places ever since I found out I have Celiac. Not only do they not have as great of a gluten free menu as many other chains, I take it personal that I can't swim in those cheddar biscuits like I used to. This location is conveniently located off the freeway, which makes it nice for I-5 travelers. The atmosphere is classic of every restaurant of this chain with the death row lobsters chillin in the waiting room, the usual wood framed and patterned booths everywhere, and naturally the ocean and fishing theme prevails. We came in pretty early for dinner and were seated right away. Our server was a bit flustered and kept going back and forth between our table and the kitchen to check on things and double check on specials and she seemed to be on high frazzle mode. I'm not sure if she was relatively new but it took a decent time to get our order in. Once I told her I was gf she made it clear she had no idea what that was. I was able to get the allergy list which is a bit cumbersome to work through and makes it difficult to find something safe to eat. Not to mention it is incredibly limited in regards to gf items. I think they must just sprinkle those heavenly biscuits on everything as seasoning, maybe that's why barely anything is gluten safe. We finally came to an agreement on just some seafood with no seasoning. Then there was an issue with the butter. They weren't sure if the butter was safe. So we went with lemon. It just took a very long time to order due to the kitchen and server's uncertainty on what their menu items contained. Once food came out it was prepared well and enjoyable. Certainly good portions. Our server kept forgetting basic things like water and utensils but we eventually got there, and she was in fact very nice. Overall, once we got past the ordering issues it was a pretty solid seafood meal and price of this chain is usually pretty reasonable. read more

Service was mediocre. The artichoke hot dip however was very good, but next time I will order just the artichoke and spinach dip, it's a lot more rich tasting. The artichoke and shrimp dip was kind of watery. The portions were pretty descent and the place was clean looking. Asked to get a To-go cup and they were all out of them so had to drink my coffee there :/ read more

We went tonight for my husbands birthday and sadly we will NEVER go back. It took an hour to get noodles with butter and 3 small tocos. Every time we asked where our food was she said "it will be out soon". After an hour it finally came out and I said "I don't understand how this took an hour" her response with a complete attitude was "well it's busy in there ok!?" I said "I understand that but the people who got here 20 min after us and have 10 people already have their food." She didn't say a word and walked away. I began to eat my pasta and I found crab in it, now I had told her when we ordered that I'm severely allergic to seafood so that's why I was only ordering noodles. So I called her over and asked her to just take it off the check and explained and showed her why, she didn't say a single word she picked it up walked away and went to the back. Then the manager came out and said "I wasn't aware there was an allergy" I explained that I told the girl when I ordered and we waited an hr for it so I was just over it, she then told me that the waitress probably just forgot to put it in the system..... oooook but we asked her a billion times where it was so I don't know how you forget that much..... I have been a waitress and I get it can be crazy but come on! When party's of 10+ get their food before 2 adults and 1 child who came at least 20 min before them is just ridiculous and unacceptable! I will never go back and if we ever decide to go to a Red Lobster we will drive the extra 30 min one way to go to the Tacoma one! Also not one person, not even the manager asked if I was ok after having seafood in my food after knowing I had such a horrible allergy! Just horrible "customer service"! Update: They commented below to send them more info but go figure they NEVER responded. Obviously they don't care about their customers! read more

The cheesy biscuits are slappin af!!! I got the New England dinner so if you're trying to have a good meal I definitely suggest getting that! Service was pretty great and had a great host and server. Definitely recommend eating here! read more

This is a long time favorite, but we haven't been there since the Covid outbreak. They have been emailing us about lunch specials and the same specials are on their yelp site. We went there on a weekday for lunch. Well.... don't expect the specials that are shown. All they had for the lunch special were a few pieces of fish. What happened to all of the rest. I almost left. There we were overlooking Covid and eating in and the waitress knew nothing of the lunch specials advertised all over the place. We ended up with the daily specials -- Walt's Shrimp. We have had them many times before but these were not the same. They tasted like frozen from store. I have had better at Costco. I was very disappointed but the staff was attentive and friendly -- even after I complained. read more

We stopped in last night and I have to say, it was a wonderful experience! Our server was the absolute best! So kind, attentive, and stayed on top of our needs throughout dinner with our 3 kids. The food was spot on and exceeded our expectations. The restaurants was very clean and welcoming. We will definitely be going again! I only wish I had the servers name on our receipt so I could mention her by name. She definitely deserves recognition for her outstanding personality and how great she was. read more

For starters we sat down at approximately 530pm on a Monday. There was 5 of us. Two of us ordered crab. After placing our order the waitress came back and said they only had one pound of crab. Therefore only one of us got crab. In place of the crab we ordered lobster pizza. Food came out and they brought lobster dip instead of pizza. So we had to wait for the pizza. Pizza came out and it was one big round piece of bread uncut. They were also out of clean bask read more

I don't think I've ever had a bad meal from red lobster! Yummy seafood, and great drinks. They always give extra biscuits to take home too.

I specifically went here because the biscuits are deadly-- in a good way. But anyway... Service: (3.5/5) I really liked our server, but she just failed to come by the table. We weren't given water and had to request for refills every time (not that big of a deal... But inconvenient). We ended up waiting maybe 25 to 30 minutes just to put our order in-- That was overkill. The server herself was very pleasant, but not pleasant enough to make up for my parched table and my body aging as I waited (and waited). Food: (4/5) I had the meal deal they have: Soup, salad, entree, and dessert. I also split this with my sister and we had leftovers, so this is definitely enough food for 2... Maybe 3 small people. Salad was just like any average salad (3/5) Soup: Creamy potato bacon (4/5) This was a really tasty soup. Very flavorful and rich. It's a little heavy to eat, but still a good eat. I probably wouldn't order this again, but it's a good non-seafood option. Entree: Cajun chicken linguini alfredo (4/5) Had a small kick to it! Not just some plain alfredo like how most restaurants give. The cajun flavor went perfectly with the cream sauce and chicken. This is good for those who don't like seafood (like me and my sister) Dessert: (3/5) We upgraded out brownie a la mode to a chocolate chip lava cookie. I was a little disappointed because I'm a HUGE fan of lava cakes. After hearing about a lava cookie, I was pretty disappointed to discover it did not have that "lava flow" like it was supposed to. It was literally just a slightly undercooked cookie. GOOD, don't get me wrong. But NOT a lava cookie. Other than getting played by Red Lobster's "lava cookie", I like this place. read more

My boyfriend and I had a great experience at Red Lobster last night. Our server was friendly, attentive, and genuinely nice! I am really big on customer service so although our grilled garlic shrimp was slightly too salty for my taste, Red Lobster still gets a 5 stars this time :) Thank you Leah! read more

My husband has been lobster craving for a long time. He is a huge fan of seafood. Last night, following a late night in a water park, we came here starving and kind of sleepy. We came half an hour before closing time and were the only custmers. The server was cleaning the carpet , but was able to pull us a table and served the biscuits within mins. That was helpful to our empty stomach. We ordered the seafood bake and lobster pizza. Both were served reasonably fast. The pizza is very favorful and the thin crust is just crunchy. The seafod bake is ok, the lobster is a bit salty for us, but its juicy and chewy, cooked just right. We are over all happy with the meal. We feel this location is better than other locations that we tried. read more

It has been several years since we last went to Red Lobster because it seemed to be going down hill at that time. With a bit of hesitation we tried it again. Glad we did, major improvement. I still love the cheeses drop biscuits ( I make them at home with no salt) and today had the Haddock Fish and chips. YUMMY!!! The fish is half of a filet of fish, Fries could use just a wee bit more time in the fryer but still really good. My husband had the lobster tacos and said they were delicious. Service was quick and pleasant ( note I managed to dump my husbands ice tea with my menu and they were very gracious about clean up..I did help with that because hey it was my fault) The 4 star is for the decor which is blah. Nice pictures on the wall, but I do miss the beach faded walls they used to have, and the other homey touches it used to have. Guess that dates me to the 80's...lol. It looks and feels like a 90's steak house. Will be going back with my crustacean loving daughter read more

I have been going to RL since the 1970's...I was pretty happy with last trip for All You Can Eat Shrimp. The biscuits are horrible now but the garden salad is the best it has been in decades. The service was very good, the food so-so overall.... the food suffering from cost cutting by the new(ish) owners of the brand. I saw a huge lobster in the tank which I was told was about $90...I got to thinking that I would maybe not trust that RL anymore has anyone in the kitchen with the skill to be trusted to cook a $90 lobster. read more

By far the worst experience that I have had in a while. We waited an hour to get salads! When the food arrived it was obvious that it had been reheated. The salad was soggy The pasta was hard. The crab was cold, and flavorless.Cold! How is that possible? The biscuits were salty, and the appetizers were lacking. The only thing worth eating was the clam chowder. I will not be back, which is sad because I used to spend a considerable amount of money in other Red Lobster restaurants. read more

This was a grand disappointment. Not one of the three meals was edible. The steaks tasted like they were dipped in liquid smoke and lighter fluid. Both my wife and daughter didn't eat their meal. I ordered the captain's platter and it was tough and overcooked sent it back. With all that the bill was still 100.00. I will not be going back. The waitress was nice but did not advocate for the customer. Don't waist your money or time the food was horrible and way overpriced! read more

My friends and I came here yesterday and our waitress was amazing, I can't remember her name but she was great. However my food costed about $33 and some change before tax and tip, and it was not that good. I ordered the bar harbor lobster bake, it looked nothing like the picture. The lobster tails were tiny and shriveled up from being over cooked. I could barely find the scallops they were so tiny and the shrimp was rubbery. The cheddar biscuits were still good, and I had an apple desert that was really good. However, a few hours after leaving the restaurant I became violently sick and spent the rest of the night sick, and all day today. Will not be back, it was super expensive, the actual seafood was not good, and I have not been this sick in a long time. read more

I enjoy red lobster and I always come back for crabfest. Today however the restaurant was disgusting. There were shells all over the floor that crunches undertow. At a near waiters station a pile of shells and dirty dishes sat for half an hour of our visit. The service was just as you expected after seeing the mess. I asked for water without ice and it had ice in it. Our biscuits didn't come with plates to eat them on. Our waitress was AWOL for most of our visit. The food was decent, the only saving grace. It makes me want to never come back to this restaurant. read more

Service was awesome! The food was great! We ordered Caesar salad with salmon, lobster bisque, Cauliflower au gratin and shrimp with pineapple and everything was awesome!

Decided 2 take my 3 guys(my hubby, & 2 sons 14 & 18) here 4 a late Valentine's day date. I guess a lot of other people had the same idea. Because man they were busy! The 40 min wait wasn't that bad as we stood/sat in the entrance area. My boys helped hold the door 4 patrons entering/leaving. Which was a much appreciated/welcomed gesture by all. Miss Sarah our server was great. As it was my boys' 1st time to Red Lobster she was patient & answered their many questions. The food was delicious! My hubby had the Ultimate Feast, my 14 yr old had the steak & grilled shrimp, my 18 yr old had a 7oz steak (both steaks were asked 2 B cooked 2 MED) I had 2 sample each 1 jus 2 make sure they were good enough 4 my boys and boooy were they!! B4 getting our check we asked if my Hubby may order a dessert 2GO. Miss Sarah packed the dessert herself. Being that it was a ice cream topped dessert she packed the brownie seperate. Then suggested upon serving it ip at home. Pop tbe brownie in the microwave 4, 20 secs, top wt the ice cream and enjoy. It was OUTSTANDING!! read more

I don't know why we go back here. It's probably because I love lobster. Tonight I ordered Lobster Topped Lobster. The actual lobster was great, but the Caesar salad was overly salted and wet, the beans that came on the potatoes had a nasty aftertaste (not fresh) and the cocktail I ordered (Malibu Bay Breeze) was not made by anyone that would call themselves a bartender. My wife had a snow crab steamer bowl. She said the crab was dry, the shrimp so overly seasoned, she couldn't eat them and the scallops were literally dime-sized. I promise to stop eating at chain restaurants. read more

I was very impressed by how friendly and welcoming the hostess was tonight. All the staff including our server Cory were outstanding. The food and drinks all came out quickly too. Will definitely be stopping by again on our next road trip. read more
