I moved into Kentucky 6 years ago, I grew up with Red Lobster. When I saw red lobster I wanted to visit. But to me it didn't look like the Red Lobster I knew in Chicago. No red roof . I finally decided to visit and I was pleasantly surprised! Being Good Friday I wanted fish for lunch, we thought of Long John silvers , Captain D'S . Nothing I really wanted! When we ordered from Red Lobster the food was so good the hush puppies were outstanding, the biscuits very fluffy and the fish was exquisite! If I had to describe what was bad , I didn't like their Cole slaw! I would definitely recommend Red Lobster for fish and Chips dinner! They treat you with respect I had Sundie P as my server she was funny at times and a pleasure to talk to , very pleasant. By the way their Fries were very tasty ! I give it 4 . 5 read more

The food was delicious,the Mariner's Boil included crab legs, lobster tail, shrimp, corn and red potatoes. I asked for the Garlic flavor, and you better like garlic if you get this option. The garlic flavor is strong, and I liked it. This is not a meal for date night. This meal is a lot of work and you're going to get it all over your hands. One criticism is the presentation, it is served in the bag it was cooked in. The food was delicious but it was not a pretty presentation. read more

I travel for a living and I eat at red lobsters quite frequently, the Paducah red lobster has to be the worst manage restaurant in the chain. The last two times I've got a curb side pick up , I've said in my van 15 to 20 minutes past the time it was scheduled to be out. I eventually have to go in and ask for my food and when I asked the manager, why my order is on the bar counter for 20 minutes and getting cold, Dale(the manager) just has this dumb look in his face and says oh sorry we forgot. This should be the last time that I visit this restaurant, there are plenty within a mile of this red lobster to choose from read more

Red Lobster - Response - Seafood Near Me - Paducah, Kentucky

The service was absolutely terrible. I was dining with two friends, one of which who ordered a lemonade and asked for a to-go up which was never received. The friend had not planned on getting any food initially. After she waited for ten minutes with no sight of our waitress she was forced to leave to make it home in time. After another fifteen minutes, my friend and I had still not been visited by our waitress even though she was in the room next door. Eventually we had plans to leave and only pay for drinks so we had to ask for our bill from another waitress, she was kind and went to find our waitress. Once our waitress arrived she showed up with our food yet we had no silverware and one forgotten side dish. We had to ask yet again another waitress for silverware. After five minutes both of our drinks were empty and remained that way the rest of the night. We never received a refill of biscuits and she was hardly kind. She appeared at our table a total of four times within an hour. Once to take our drink order, once to take our real order, once to bring the order after we had to call upon another waitress for help, and finally for the check which still included a side of broccoli in which we never received. Will not be coming back anytime soon. read more

We just left. We sat at a dirty bar for ten minutes. The two ladies did not acknowledge us. One was moving like pond water, slow as molasses. We left and on the way out, asked to speak with the manager. Waited five minutes and it was one of the bartenders. Made my complaint, she said she didn't see us. Sorry a$$ excuse. While waiting I noticed three tables that hadn't been cleaned, yet there were a dozen people waiting. I guess this is to be expected from a long worn out chain that once used to be decent. Do yourself a favor, go somewhere that appreciates your business. read more

I was reading the previous reviews from 1+years ago and I'm 99.9999999% sure they didn't eat at THIS Res Lobster. No, it was, because those old reviews don't lie--it was shaky. But today is a completely different story. They're asking you to wait in your car if there is a wait, but there wasn't for a party of 3 on an early Sunday afternoon. All benches have nice little signs that let you know they're unavailable because of Covid, all the servers and kitchen staff were wearing masks. Nice!! Our service was spot-on, from apps to those favorite cheddar bay biscuits we all love, to my entree pictured below. I can remember a time when the service, cleanliness, and food was sketchy, but they have seriously improved!! I can tell the quality of the food had MASSIVELY improved, and I'm okay better a teeny bit more for better quality. Everyone should be! Honestly, I can't believe this is the same place that we used to avoid like they had COVID before anyone knew what COVID was. Just stop in. I promise you'll enjoy your meal! read more

Red Lobster - Seaside Shrimp Trio - Cajun-style pasta and Brussels sprouts - Seafood Near Me - Paducah, Kentucky

Our party of four ate there Sunday 9/24. A lot of changes for worse since our last visit 2 months ago at the Paducah KY Red Lobster. The "fish & chips" were a single , thick lump of fish that was heavily breaded and not fully cooked. The shrimp in the "shrimp fettuccine" still had their tails on mixed under everything! What a mess to eat! My favorite dish that I've enjoyed for years, "Salmon New Orleans", also had the tails left on (again, very messy!) and was supposed to have orzo rice but had some kind of inferior substitute rice that I'd never had in the past even though i'd ordered many previous times. Even the ice tea was a disappointment. In the past I've always thought they had the best tea of any restaurant. The tea now is quite bitter and no amount of sweetener made a difference. They've even reduced their selections of sweeteners to only an inferior yellow one. We're so disappointed in Red Lobster. It was one of our favorites only a few months ago. They may make more money by downgrading everything, but it's going to cost they their loyal customer base. Food: 2/5 | Service: 5/5 | Atmosphere: 5/5 Recommended dishes Cheddar Biscuits read more

The last few times we've eaten here they have been running low on cheddar bay biscuits. Tonight we didn't get any biscuits until right before we paid the check and we only got three, Our server told us their oven isn't getting hot enough to cook them and that the GM is supposed to fix it. As this has been an ongoing issue for over a year, I'm not sure that her explanation is accurate. Overall the food is pretty good, but the furnishings are a little shabby. This location needs a makeover. read more

This company has definitely changed. The food is NOT good at all. Over salted, over cooked, and definitely overrated. Who ever the cooks are might need a refresher course The girl at the front made up her own policy and wouldn't seat us until my entire party was there ? Therefore having us wait an additional 20 min until I called for a manager. Trust me 6 of us will not be returning anytime soon read more

Food and service were good, but I paid $12.43 for a watery margarita that was 70% ice. Granted, it came with a half shot of tequila, but the glass was small, and had more ice than anything and the menu didn't display the price when I ordered. Was a bit disappointed with how much this drink was, but other than that, things were good. read more

Slow service Now you pay for a salad. Prices went up again wait time is terrible. Our crab was cold.

Keep away from this place. The service is Horrible! Incorrectly billed. Over-charged and Ignored by server. $75 for (half) a dinner as ordered. No, they were not slammed with patrons. Server just incredibly inattentive. Sadly, their tip had to reflect that. We were not the only ones. Other patrons were murmuring the same issues while we were there. Don't waste your time or money in this location. read more

Disappointed! I've dined in before and while the service was okay and the servers pleasant, the food comes out cold. This visit was a pick up order and the phone rep was very pleasant and helpful. That's where it ended! Upon arriving and stating I had a pick up order I was sent to the bar. The bartender came to me apologizing that they did not have the coconut shrimp bites. Pause...I ordered the large coconut shrimp for the all you can eat shrimp, plus scampi, the spicy drizzled shrimp and fried shrimp. What I got was basically a bunch of fried shrimp instead of the glazed shrimp. I didn't get the blue cheese in place of sour cream I ordered for my potato, which was just thrown in the container in opened and tepid. The biscuits were cold and stale tasting. The apple pie was ice cold, and though only 5 minutes from the restaurant the shrimp and broccoli needed a minute in the microwave. Moreover I waited for the coconut shrimp and it too was cold. To top it off no fork, knife, salt, pepper.... Thank goodness I put an extra in my suit case when I travel! I was happy I didn't spend $ on the lobster. Hey Red Lobster if you are going to offer pick up make sure the food is fresh and worth the $. Napkins and fork would have been nice too. Perhaps it's just this location. read more

Dragon shrimp was terrible. It was like they tried to make it spicy and completely ruined the flavor of the whole dish. The biscuits are really good, and the people were nice that is why I gave 2 stars. read more

Typical chain but it you don't like cheddar biscuits keep loving, finding a clam or fried fish meal shouldn't be an issue and they do it pretty well. read more

Absolutely terrible! My 1and half pounds of crab legs was like having less than a 1/2 pound. I have never saw legs that small and thin. Will never go back read more

Got the ribs, very dry.....husband said they tasted like they were cooked the day before and reheated ‍

Stopped in for dinner. Roger was our server and he was very friendly. I ordered clam chowder and it would take a while to be ready so he offered me a sample of the lobster bisque, which I had never tried. It was excellent! Great service and great food! read more

Food is okay, you can only make frozen shrimp taste okay. Cheesecake was amazing though. Waitress was friendly.

Food was not good. We were a party of 4 and 3 of us were not satisfied with our food. One person their food was still cold like it wasn't cooked all the way through. Another persons food was not what they ordered. And another person their fries was drenched in grease. Then when we was walking out we were accused of dining and dashing in a rude way. Never again at this location read more

Usually good food & service. Mother's Day. Before noon. Dialed in on their app. Still a wait. Unorganized. Other tables seemed to be waiting a long time as well. Kitchen slow. Some food in our party was cold & incomplete orders. Had to ask for the sides on 3 orders. Mine, personally was ok, but others were disappointed. Don't want to seem overly demanding, but service is service & very competitive in Paducah. Could have stepped it up a notch. No management patrolling the floors & checking on service. Waitress temporarily lost my credit card when I paid. Almost lost it then. read more

Took my best friend there for her Birthday dinner. We both ordered the unlimited Shrimp fest. Wait time was a bit longer than expected (about 30 mins) but well worth it. The Staff was EXTREMELY friendly and helpful to each other. Great teamwork. The Table next to us seemed to have a problem with there food. The Manager took care of them WAY WAY WAY above and beyond. Restaurant was clean the food was great. read more

My wife, son and I, went to the Red Lobster to fulfill something he has wanted to do, try lobster. We came in and were seated within 5 minutes. Our server was friendly and patient. We ordered the full platter of seafood it was cooked to perfection, which was strange because my wife and I had been there a few months earlier and the lobster was cooked to rubber. This time it was better, great server, cooks were on point and manager was cool. Our son got a comp'd cheesecake because we were celebrating his birthday. Kuudos, Red Lobster of Paducah. read more

Whenever I'm craving fresh seafood, the frozen special isn't going to cut it. "Jumbo" shrimp should not be the size of Sonic's popcorn shrimp (which i'm sure they buy from the same vendor). read more

Love this place. Since they renovated it the atmosphere is spectacular. The food is great, the service is great, and the price is great. My wife and I try to eat there a couple of times a month. They have the best rolls and great tasting tea. read more

Amazing service, good atmosphere, super tasty food. You can't go wrong with Red Lobster, especially if you're eating at this location! Highly recommended. read more

Wasn't expecting a fancy pants meal or anything just some good food. My husband said he liked his steak. I got some kind of pasta dish with two lobster tails cut in half..and it was tasteless. The pasta had just same olive oil poured on it with the lobster tails slapped on top. But of course the cheddar cheese biscuits were poppin' read more

Great place to eat! Clean, good service and great food. Would rather eat there than whalers catch by far!

The food was ok. But the service?!? I ordered the classic Caesar dinner salad off the full menu for $9.99 and a baked potato for my side. I received a $2.49 side salad when everyone else got their appetizers and then when the other meals were served I got a miniature potato on an even smaller plate. Not to mention I was embarrassed but also they charged me. I had no problem paying $10 for my meal salad but not $2 for a side salad when one in our party declined his salad that came with his meal, nor $4 for a baked potato side when another in our party declined their side. If they couldn't bring me what I ordered, they didn't need to embarrass me, but sure as heck didn't need to charge me for it. I will NEVER go back. read more

Pretty sorry. Arrived at 3:30 on Saturday afternoon. At least half the tables and booths empty. Told it would be 35 minutes before we would be seated. Need to hire some help read more

I was in town for work for 2 wks. Stopped in on my last night, usual food for this chain but my server was Jennifer and she was awesome! I came in on a Friday and it was busy and she was pleasant and professional even when I unexpectedly changed to one of her tables. If you're lucky enough to get her make sure to tip well! read more

The hostess was very unpleasant when seating my family and I at our table. She brought us to the table with a sour look on her face and just threw the menus on the table. Our server was much more polite and the food was good. read more

I use to work here a manager had made me cook pasta off the floor. They put so much grease on the food and most of the food is not fresh and is frozen including the crabs, cakes and desserts. For the clam chowder they use canned clams. Pasta gets a three day mark which means you probably ate pasta that was made two days ago. read more
