    Crab legs & Pappardelle Pasta

    Made a stop in San Marcos. Red Lobster hit the spot. Shoutout to Marco for taking care of us, the guy out did himself. Food was on point, drinks were fresh & service was even better. Will definitely be back!!

    Steak & Lobster - Wednesday
    Reuben M.

    I came in and ordered the Wednesday special, steak and lobster for $25. I ordered the steak medium well. The lobster was slightly off and was a little undercooked. The steak was no where near tender and was overcooked. Very nasty specimen of a steak and was tough as a boot. My kid enjoyed her meal which was the grilled shrimp and baked potato. The biscuits are always on point. The waiters attentiveness was not bad, but his recommendation on the special was . Shame on the cook. I was too hungry to complain, so I ate it, paid and left. This restaurant needs some updates. My kid noticed holes in the ceiling, and mold and dust. I kinda laughed because I said I normally don't look at ceilings when I'm in restaurants. For the price I'm giving this visit a 2.5.

    Lobster and shrimp tacos
    Hayley F.

    Came on 4th of July for dinner, and the restaurant was rather empty. Restaurant was quiet and nice. Service was pretty quick, and server was friendly. I got their Tuesday daily special i.e. lobster and shrimp tacos. The tacos were soft shell, and the lobster and shrimp were fried. Both lobster and shrimp were seasoned well, and the sauce was sufficient for each taco. There was a little heat in the tacos which I like. The watermelon martini was not too bad. But I prefer a stronger vodka in the drink than more sweetness. Overall the food was good, and I would come back again when I am in the area.

    Crab topped baked potato

    I ordered the Seaside Trio and the crab topped baked potato. All just mediocre. The potato needed more crab and sauce. The trio had TOO MUCH OREGANO!! Not sure of the recipe change but the new flavor is terrible. The pasta also needed more sauce. Overall 6/10

    We had a good time here. The waiter told us that the Jumbo margaritas were in sale for $5.00, just this day, and in house special. We ordered one to split and the waited poured it into two large glasses. It was a perfect margarita. Monday here, the special is all you can eat shrimp for $2195. We went for it. They serve 6 types of shrimp and we customers can lox & match. I only had room for three variations. Yep, too full for dessert!

    Make sure you get Josue as your server! He was great and really took care of us! Every time we continue to come here, the servers have been great, the food has been fresh, and the seating has been nice! We will continue to come to this location and supporting them! Also get the vanilla cheesecake! So good!

    As fair as chain restaurants goes, this is a typical Red Lobster. I was seated for quite a while before someone came to take my drink order. After I gave it, I opened my mouth to say I was ready to order and he was gone. Okay. Remind you, I've been sitting with my menu closed and pushed forward for a bit. So he dropped off my tea and went to zip off. I called after him and asked if I could go ahead and order. He looked surprised but took my order. The food was typical Red Lobster fare. I was craving seafood and that's what I got. Nothing more, nothing less.

    Margarita Flight

    My husband and I had visited Red Lobster this past weekend. I haven't been to Red Lobster in a long time. I was impressed. Our waitress was so sweet and on point. I had the margarita flight. It was delicious. The bar was out of the watermelon but offered me different options, I opted for raspberry and it was delicious. My husband had the Lobster tail, steak, and snow crab legs, and ate it all and said it was great! I do not eat seafood , but I have always loved the Cajun chicken Alfredo dish they have and it was sooooo good. We will be back soon. Won't wait so long for the next time!

Although Kissing Tree…read moreis a 55+ community, the restaurant itself is open to all -- and thank goodness, because the food and service are simply too good to keep behind any gate. The kitchen consistently turns out high‑quality dishes made with fresh ingredients, and you can taste the care in every bite. The chef has clearly built a knowledgeable, confident staff who deliver a smooth, top‑tier dining experience from start to finish. I've eaten here many times, and nothing anywhere has matched their "Par 3" plate -- chicken salad, tuna salad, and egg salad served on crisp lettuce. Simple, fresh, and absolutely unmatched. The staff is always pleasant, attentive, and genuinely enthusiastic about the menu. They're not afraid to tell you what they personally enjoy, which makes the whole experience feel warm and authentic. San Marcos is incredibly fortunate to have Tarbox & Brown. In the two years I've been a regular, they've only continued to raise the bar -- and that says everything.

The staff was on it the whole time--attentive without hovering, and our waitress actually seemed to like her job (rare these days). Place was clean, too, which again... late night. Impressive. We did the Dinner for Two for $40 because I love a deal that doesn't feel like a deal, and this one delivered. Appetizer, two entrées, dessert--no weird upcharges, no "that's not included" surprises. I got the chicken with vegetables and pasta, plus garlic bread and a salad. Everything tasted way better than a $40 bundle has any right to. The other entrée was a burger and fries--simple, hot, and legitimately delicious. For the app, we grabbed the cheese bites (both cheddar and mozzarella) and honestly, I could've eaten a bucket of them. Dessert was a giant slice of cheesecake that looked like it belonged in a display case and tasted even better. Overall? Shockingly great experience. Fast, clean, delicious, and an actually good value. If every late‑night dinner went this smoothly, I'd never cook again.

It came with Texas toast, and out of the choice between hashbrowns, refried beans, and diced potatoes, we went with diced potatoes. The combo was *perfect.* My wife placed the order online, and it was ready at precisely the time estimate she was given. The omelet was a delicious mixture of cheesy goodness and tasty veggies packed nearly to bursting. We got it to go, and it was still warm after the trip home. The toast was just the right shade of brown. The potatoes were excellent. They were just salty enough without going overboard, and the level of seasoning was *just* right.

The only thing left from his plate (which included two full slices of Texas toast and diced potatoes) was half a slice of toast. I tried their catfish plate.

I don't remember feeling ravenous when I ordered but I cleared the whole thing and was very happy about it. They included flatware, napkins and salsas in the pickup order without anyone requesting it. Mr R said staff were friendly and the establishment was clean classic diner setting. I don't regret a single thing I've ordered from here and will continue to come back.
