My Husband and I went last night for our 30th anniversary and I could not be more disappointed. First we arrived at about 5:15 PM and when we got inside the front area was already so crowded with people waiting to get seated . There were tons of available seats, but not enough servers so we all just stood and waited. We had wanted to get the $15.00 deal but that has to be ordered before 6. We did not get sat until after 6. We then ordered drinks and an appetizer. It took a very long time to get our drinks and then our salad came. No sooner did I go to take my first bite of salad and here comes our hot food. So I did not get to eat but a couple of bites of salad. We did not see our server again until we were done eating, so I did not even get a second drink. Luckily the food was good, but the service made the night not good. read more

This red lobster is a good example for the chain to use for a standard. It's clean(bathrooms were clean too), service is timely, and food meets expectations. I had the four course feast-$15.99+tax and a Dr Pepper-no ice. I started with the clam chowder and a dinner salad topped with blue cheese. It's a good clam chowder and was served hot-but not too hot. The salad was cool and crisp and tasted as you would expect a salad to taste. The entree was the shrimp and salad linguini. The pasta was cooked just how I like it-about three minutes past al dente. The shrimp and scallops were well complimented by the lemon butter sauce and the chiffonade basil. The tomatoes rounded it out. For dessert, key lime pie. It was served with a decorative berry coulis and was a competent piece of pie. If I would've known I'd have extra room, I'd've eaten a few more of their cheddar bay biscuits-nice and fluffy with a buttery cheese accent. It's not the best of anything I've ever had, but it was rather good. read more

See all

So impressed!!! The food was amazing... (Still thinking about the cheddar bay biscuits) and so was the service! The very sweet waitress, Ashley, was helpful and very attentive. Her recommendations were spot on! There was a mixup with our order and it was taken care of so quickly! The manager came out and told us to start on the food we had...and the other would be out quickly... Aka Free lobster! It is so nice to have a restaurant that takes care or their patrons! We will definitely back! Thank you Red Lobster, for taking care of my husband, my baby and me on our date night! read more

Best sea food place by far...everything is on point. Never had anything served to me I didn't like. I've been to some shit places and Ted lobster hooks it up the best with lobster and crab by far. read more

Horrible experience and wait times, made a reservation at 7:45 and waited an hour when we were told it would be 15 minutes, we left after an hour because we didn't want to wait any longer, and ended up at the always trustworthy friendly neighborhood applebees. read more

Very tasty food. I got the snow crab legs and also their coconut shrimp things. They were all excellent tasting and the service was great. The only downside is the price. But, for a fairly upscale seafood place, I guess it isn't too unreasonable. If it we're cheaper I would go much more often. It really is delicious. read more

Don't waste your time trying to call them, because they won't answer the phone. If you call the local number you get an offsite call center. We wanted to place a curbside order, but the website wouldn't let us order fries. The offisite people just order online like you would, so they can't do anything about the website problems. They tried to call the restaurant but no one would answer the phone. TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!! read more

This was one of the worst experiences. Yes I get were in a pandemic but that is no way to treat your customers. I went to the Orem Utah Red Lobster and we arrive there at 5:30 p.m. it took 1 hour she get seated and 1.5 hrs to get our food once order. The sever and manager was so rude never expected that. Went there for my Birthday dinner and got treated horrible. We left at 930 pm finally after the long wait. They charged us for things we didn't even order and it was just horrible. If you want to wait until 2022 to get your food and leave go there. Manager needs better people skills will never go there again. I have 17 years of customer management experience and would never treat anyone that way. They are so horrible. Forgot things as will as when they were told my daughter has a maple allergy the server says I dont think it has it in it and didn't even go check. My friend was so mad but the manager never tried to make it right for me. This place used to be my favorite now its not. read more

Inconsistent food. Utah needs a better alternative to Seafood. Seated us next to a table that was unclean for at least half the time we where there. Meal was cold. When we brought it up they didn't seem that interested in fixing the problem. Comped us 20% on our meal. Will be a long time before we go back if ever. read more

We had the best service we have had anywhere for a very long time! James S was kind, attentive and made it a great experience! The food was wonderful and of course the biscuits were heaven! Thanks James S for a great night! read more

Red Lobster - Seafood Near Me - Orem, Utah

Today I ordered the large salmon from the fresh fish menu. I usually order the wood grilled shrimp, salmon and lobster tail, but I'm trying to eat better. My wife has ordered the salmon before and said it was really good, so I gave it a try! I ordered the salmon with pineapple habanero, because I like spicy food. I knew it wasn't going to burn because this is a mainstream place. The sauce was sweet and spicy. Perfect! The waitress said the large salmon would be about 10-12 oz it was closer to the 10oz. My meal was great the salad and entree came out in good time, but the cheddar bay biscuits came out right before the entree. I hate that!! My sister in law ordered the snow crab legs and she ate half her order before someone came to check on everything so she could ask for butter. It should have came out with butter. And she had to eat them kinda fast so the meat would come out easily before it gets cold. Over all the Orem Red Lobster is always good. read more

Red Lobster - Large Salmon with pineapple habanero from the fresh fish menu with a side of asparagus and green beans. - Seafood Near Me - Orem, Utah

Fantastic meal, drinks were awesome but best of all was our waiter BRAD. I'm so full can hardly move, but could not leave any. Will surely go back again but will make sure Brad is on shift. read more

We went in at 2:00 for lunch. There was a line of people waiting and they told us it was going to be a 20 minute wait even though more then 3/4 of the tables were empty. We finally got seated and then service took forever. We never received any rolls until our meals were brought to us. The broccoli on all of our meals was warm border line cold and over cooked.My daughters shrimp linguine Alfredo had a smoke flavor which is not the normal taste of that meal. We normally love Red Lobster but this was not a good experience. read more

Service was overall a great experience. It took a minute to get seated, and greeted. But after that. Our server was nice. I order the wood smoked lobster, salmon, and shrimp. The salmon was amazing and seasoned perfectly, lobster was a little tough and the asparagus was . Had a glass of their Chardonnay reserve. It was very nice. read more

Walked in at 8:15pm. They close at 9:00pm. The hostess got on her radio and said "A table for 2 just walked in, what should I do?" We said "Are y'all closed?" She said yeah, we're getting ready to, there aren't many servers. I said Yelp says you close at 9. Long story short, she was trying to get rid of us. read more

Two weeks ago, I took my family to red lobster. Most of us had shrimp entrees of some kind. Two were very sick afterwards. Be careful of this place because the seafood prep may not be the best. They were unresponsive; didn't care. Not going back. read more

Twas a good trip to red lobster today. We had a party of 11 and it was lunchtime. As soon as we walked in we were seated. We ordered drinks and appetizers. The appetizers came out shortly after along with our drinks. The appetizers were really tasty and good. We ordered our food and it took awhile to come out but the appetizers made up for that. I ordered the shrimp Alfredo, the fried flounder, and the lobster mashed potatoes. The potatoes were scrumptious because they had this zesty sauce on them. The Alfredo was great as well. The flounder was good but it was kind of tasteless without sauce. But overall our group was satisfied with our meals. Besides one person who ordered the brisk. Overall I would come again. read more

We were excited that the Restrictions were lifted and decided to celebrate at the Red Lobster in Orem for lunch. We were totally disappointed with the entire experience. The first and most important reason was, they did not follow the COVID 19 safety guidelines. They allowed customers who were picking up their food to enter the restaurant with out a face mask. They were require to walk past customers who were sitting at tables and go to the back of the restaurant and wait around for their order. One woman kept coughing and was not at the required six feet away from some of the patrons. It was to close for comfort and it required us to keep putting on and taking off our masks while we were eating. 2. My husband ordered the Caesar salad. It was made of Iceberg lettuce when it should have been made of Romaine lettuce. Romaine lettuce has a darker color than iceberg lettuce, and is slightly more bitter. The salad did not have any parmesan cheese and the dressing tasted like Worcestershire sauce. The dressing should be creamy, rich, and tangy and usually has an acidic component This dressing was straight up Worcestershire sauce. The ten Dollar salad should have costed.99 cents. 3. I made the mistake of ordering the fried fish. The fish didn't have a taste. It looked like fish, it was flaky but it didn't taste like anything. I had to ask for lemons (usually come with fish) just to get a taste. As I was eating, the paper under the fish came apart and I got a little in my mouth. I thought to myself, that the paper tasted better than the fish. (very sad.) We left totally disappointed and a little scared. Maybe we spoiled our own selves by staying home and cooking for ourselves, but one thing for sure, we will not be going back to The Red Lobster in Orem Utah. read more

My wife and I traveled 2 hours to do some shopping and visiting in the Provo and Orem area. (8/21/12 14:00 )We wanted to go somewhere nice. We are sorry we went here. Upon walking though the doors we had to wait a number of minutes so that the front counter help got done talking and laughing with each other. The employee never said a word to us rather grab two menus and lead the way to a table that was centered in the middle of the middle section. No one was seated near there and we would have been an inland unto ourseves. She placed the menuses down and walked away, no comments no nothing. I had to say rather loudy to be herad by her, if she could please find us a booth. She acted as if this was a rude comment that I made and then she sat us near the kitchen door in sight of the restrooms when there were open booths near the windows on the east side facing the mountains. The next Waitress a lady with long dark hair and dark eyes made up for the disgraceful actions of her fellow employee. She was cheerful, happy, and very informative. She was honest as to what she thought was good and what wasn't. Upon listening to her interactions with other customers (one older cowboy type and his wife were hard to please, I could see, she was pleasant and kind to these people.) The food was old, salty, sad. the presention of the food was maybe a 4 out of 10, the drinks were okay but nothing to write home about. the Bread was the best thing of the whole meal. I had a bake potato with butter and sour cream, that potato was old and dried out the skin was tough as shoe leather. If it wasn't for our waitress and her pleasant attidute we would have walked out. Will I go back ...no I don't think so and if anyone asks I won't reconmend this place. read more

Where else can you go in Orem for crab legs that taste somewhat normal? For those of us who are landlocked most of the year, this is a decent alternative. The cheddar biscuits that start your meal are good. Their menu changes from time to time, so it seems like it is newer every time I go. Because they are the only seafood game in town, the wait here can seem like forever. I would recommend the launch time menu. It is actually cheap for the amount of food you get. And I would rather go here any day than a burger joint that is roughly the same price. read more

Pretty good! In general, I wouldn't order seafood in a landlocked state, but if you're aching for some really standard, generic seafood, or maybe just the delicious cheese biscuits, then Red Lobster is the way to go. Overpriced, to be sure, but they have to cover shipping in the seafood somehow, I suppose. Wouldn't go back if I had to pay . . . except for maybe for those cheese biscuits . . . read more

In an attempt to be fair, I will give it 3 stars. Without getting into too much detail, our waitress was absolutely terrible. After waiting 40 minutes for our salads, they finally came. At that time, I asked if our shrimp would be out soon since it had taken so long to get the salads (it was endless shrimp season). She replied by saying that she was double sat, and if we were her only table that we would have our food sooner. Then she asked if I had ever been a server. She was very rude about the whole thing and condescending. What a ridiculous excuse. Waiting 40 minutes on a plate of lettuce is past the point of serving another table. Things got worse from there, but I will spare you the details. I am more upset that the manager just listened to us, but did not offer us any solutions or do anything to correct the issue. I wasn't looking for a hand out or anything, just an apology or something or maybe even a soda. It didn't happen. The manager just said that the server was known to be sarcastic. We definitely will not return. So many things could have been handled differently to fix the situation. The food was decent (after waiting an hour). read more

Service by our waitress was great. She was right there with what we needed. The seating was a little slow. We waited 15 minutes to be seated and they were almost empty. We went here for a birthday and it was the birthday girls choice. I would not pick a chain place. The food was okay. Typical red lobster. The cheddar biscuits were over cooked. The waitress was great though and the ladies enjoyed the lava cookie with ice cream. If you want seafood go to a place by the ocean. read more

This was my very first experience with RL. I'm regret to inform that I was dissatisfied. The menu was expensive for what we got. One of our group got crab legs and I'm sure someone from Seattle would have just laughed! We waited for an hour in the waiting lounge (four two-seater benches) even when we called two hours ahead, and there was about 50 people all together. There was no easy access for the senior citizens and people with disabilities when it was busy and there was one 24" tv. Below par. Maybe another location would have been better. read more

Well despite all the picky eaters that rated lower, I liked this place. Going to Red Lobster is a rare treat (being college students will do that), and I enjoy it very much. We went during lobster fest, and I got the dish that came with a split lobster tail, crab, shrimp, and scallops. Yes we are in Utah and it will never be as good as a location right on the coast, but I think it was good considering. Our waiter was a little...strange. He kept trying to crack jokes that were just plain weird, but was quick to get our food to us. read more

Once again I end up at Red Lobster with my mom. Since it's her favorite place to eat I always take her. If you have been to one location you have been to them all. I personally think for quality of food isn't worth the money you pay. I have had much better food from place in Salt Lake for the money. The plus is I have never had bad service. And the food alright. read more

RUBBERY LOBSTER! Bless their hearts, they can't cook lobster. It came out SO RUBBERY, we sent it back and it wan't any different. Other things are ok, but generally overcooked. read more

June 26 2019 Hi My mother and I went today to the Orem Red Lobster. 1) First thing I noticed were the sides are 3 types of white potatoes, mashed, fries, or baked, and brocolli is the only other side, of the 4 given, what the what? So you need to order another potato side if you don't like brocolli. (they should have corn, or beans, or a sweet potato, or applesauce, or cornbread or beans ) But NO. just all white potatoes for 3 of the 4 sides. So this aspect makes this restaurant substandard 2) The biscuits were nice and moist, but no real flavor. 3) I had the plank grilled salmon, it tasted good, but WAY TOO SALTY! 4) The Ranch Dressing looked like it came out of a bottle and was light ranch with no flavor, Good restaurants make in house and serve a full fat ranch for more flavor, unless the patron asks for light, so that was a bust also, 5) the house salad was wilted, they only put a teeny tiny shreds of cheese on the salad, like 5 small ones. and 5 tiny tomatoes. SO VERY PLAIN. There were giant chunks of the heart of the lettuce head in my salad, so visually that was a bust, Salad could have also had some grated carrots or cauliflower, this salad seemed like what your 85 yr old mother gets from Meals on Wheels. 6) THE SOUR CREAM, was also light. Did not want light sour cream on my potato. We spent $42.00 for 2 meals, The receptionist (2 of them) they were nice but very worried looking, The waitress was nice and also very worried looking.. 7) The brocolli was all mushy and had dark black, yellow and brown spots on it- very inedible. The manager came over to see my mushy moldy brocolli and she kneeled down at my table like I was a 3 yr old and stared angrily right up in my face,as I showed her the black and brown spots on the brocolli. Her angry stares indicated she acted like I had no right to complain, it was very uncomfortable (Ive never seen moldy mushy brocolli in all my life, she did offer me another side but we were done eating and who wants to wait for another side with the eyes of angry staring at you. 8) The portions on the sides are tiny, teeny baked potato 9) My water glass had not been rinsed off, it had a total revolting chemical taste like bleach was in my water, so I ordered a soda and, No Pepsi products only Coca Cola, No selection of diet soft drinks to speak of. This was to be a special day out for my Mom who is 85 yrs old. She paid all this money for what? 10) And the inside of the restaurant was so dark you would think we entered into a "Thriller" movie. Yes I have eaten out to quite a few places, and this well, I would go to Texas Roadhouse and get 3 times the food for the price, large portions, decent salads, non bleached water, and you have enough to take some home, and you dont leave hungry. Texas has Salmon and Shrimp as well. No I don't work for Texas Roadhouse. Thanks for Listening. read more

Service was excellent. All-U-can-eat shrimp was very good. Only 2 things concern me: the biscuits were very dry. They have been dry the last 3x we came here. No butter on the tops and they fell apart, more than usual. Like maybe they had been sitting for a long time. Also, the salad came out with Low-cal Ranch, it looked and tasted like low-cal. Not impressed. But, again, the experience was ok. read more

I ordered the endless shrimp and the food was good. Their service was terrible. Seriously! We have been here for almost three hours, most of the time was spent just waiting. I am surprised that an establishment like this wouldn't have better service. Very disappointing! On a side note, I did like their garlic shrimp scampi. :) I am pretty sure I will never be coming back though. :/ read more

Never order their rice again!!! SO GROSS AND NASTY!! Besides that, their food in general is very salty...I needed to keep drinking water after eating there :( read more

The weight was much longer than I would have liked both to receive my food and throughout my visit but I can't complain about the food. The biscuits were mind-blowing and the salmon was to die for. I can't wait to go back in and try something new! read more

Oh boy. Let's start with my lobster bisque. It tasted like nacho cheese. You know the velveeta sauce you get at the movies with your tortilla chips. It had the thick consistency of a cheese fondu as well. My wife's salmon dish was unsalted and the skin on the fish was raggy. The worst part was the booger's on my utensils. When I asked for another set, that too was nasty. When my bowl of velveeta fondu aka lobster bisque arrived the spoon also had dried food on it. As in my last post, our server was great--perhaps the restaurants only saving grace. read more

I normally love red lobster but I ordered crab legs and they were extremely flavorless! I dumped about a cup of water out of them and my fingers were like I had been in the water for hours, it was horrible! Not worth the wait or money! read more

The waitress was very nice. I'll give her a 5. But I ordered a Seaport, and didn't even get the shrimp scampi at all, and only got one side, and was supposed to have gotten 2 sides according to the menu. So when I got home i had to reheat some leftover pizza because I was still quite hungry, after paying $68 for my wife and me, including tip. I'm very disgusted with this place, to say the least. Very disgusted. read more

I don't see what all the hype is about. Quite expensive for good food, not bad by any means, but definitely overpriced. I believe I had the crab alfredo with a side of lobster tail and the biscuits. I think I'll stick with catching crayfish, I can eat better for much cheaper... read more

Red Lobster is as good as it gets for seafood in Orem Utah!We love their ranch salad dressing and their Biscuits. I haven't tasted any better. Their seafood is good. I'm a Big fan of the Coconut Shrimp. The Pasta dishes I've had are good. My friend had the chicken Alfredo and said its one of the best he's ever had. Sure it's not like eating at a Seattle or San Francisco Seafood restaurant but remember we are in Orem. Enjoy it for what its worth! read more
