    Bar Harbor Lobster Bake

    My meal was very good. I think their prices have gotten very high though. I have been going to RL for a very long time and it is now only on special occasions I can go because I can't afford it anymore. Too bad, I like going there. I believe a lot of people must feel that way cause there wasn't many there. 15 years ago you had to wait to get seated and today you can walk in and sit anywhere you like.

    Petite lobster & shrimp roll with asparagus for under $13 was delicious

    First time at this Red Lobster. I enjoyed the lobster & shrimp roll with a side of asparagus. I found the asparagus was done just I liked it, crisp and not mushy. The waitress that I had was very friendly and willing to help out with any questions that I might have had. She was one of the best servers I have had in State College

    It's been years since I've been to a Red Lobster, and my wife has been begging to come here, so what the heck. The Red Lobster on North Atherton Street is conveniently located near the Wal Mart plaza and has plenty of parking. Nothing much has changed with the standard Red Lobster interior decor since the last time I've been at one, but it was clean and well decorated. We both got the dinner deal where you pick two different entrees with a salad and one side dish for $18.99. We both got the stuffed flounder (stuffed with crab meat) while I got the garlic shrimp scampi and my wife got the coconut shrimp. The stuffed flounder was very good as was my Garlic shrimp scampi. The fish just fell apart, but I actually wish I had ordered more of the scampi. We didn't care for the coconut shrimp, but then again, I'm not much into coconut. The staff was friendly and the service was prompt. A manager even came by to make sure we were satisfied and offer us more to drink. Oh, and the biscuits were just as I remembered them...delicious! If I had just one tip it'd be to get the Boston peach tea. Wow !

    a plate of lobster and crab legs

    I had one of the feasts that included lobster, fried shrimp, scampi and one crab claw with two sides. The lobster was extremely disappointing, it was dried out, not juicy and delicious like you would expect to be paying for. The crab was rather cold, and I've had a lot of crab in my life but this was extremely difficult to get to come out of the legs. I don't know if that means it's been frozen and thawed and frozen and thawed? I've never really had that problem with crab before except for a rare piece here and there. The shrimp scampi Was pretty good. I used that sauce for almost everything because oddly the butter that came with the crab legs had a weird flavor. It's not butter like you would get at the grocery store. It had a saltiness and another weird flavor that did not come across as a decent butter.The fried shrimp was OK because you could drown it in the cocktail sauce. My server was very nice. He brought me water with lemon, and extra lemon slices on the side which was handy. I chose Caesar Caesar side and it was delicious! I also got the broccoli was which was good dipped in the scampi sauce. I probably will not be here again.

    This red lobster is located in State College. I thought because it was a college town there was gonna be a lot of college kids eating inside this was not the case. The place was crowded but there was no wait. Our waitress was very nice and a tentative the only issue that I had was when she introduced yourself and went over the menu she went over almost every item on the menu!! She probably was telling us what was on the menu for 10 minutes. Finally somebody at my table told her OK you don't have to go over everything on the menu we can read the menu. I had lobster tacos which I thought were good. The rice that came with the tacos I thought was very good and I could've just eaten a bowl of that. I don't really go to red lobster that often but I've noticed that it's always crowded and noisy. Overall I thought the food was good it was nothing special. If you're around the Penn State campus I do recommend stopping here if you're in the mood for seafood.

    Nice deco

    My wife and I visited here. Many of their lunch combos are a good value for the money and are reasonably priced.

    Regular burger i ordered and im glad i did.the fries were less impressive but at least were salted…read moreperfectly.They were quite busy since I arrived at lunch definitely a locals spot

    Recommended this spot during graduation weekend and was my first time out at state college. Place…read morewas packed but they had the space and we were seated quickly. The menu was great and service was quick, then we ordered the burrata as an appetizer. Mentioned the nut allergy in our group and the server had said that they can't guarantee anything in the kitchen is safe to eat although some menu items didn't have nuts on them. The menu also says this, and maybe it's unfair to give this spot a four but in my experience restaurants shouldn't be mixing items in their dishes and there are pretty good safe serve/allergy friendly practices out there to follow and I've never had any issues. This is the first time I got a response at an American grill that they can't serve anything. Maybe it's just new to me and they're being extra cautious which is not wrong, and this place came highly recommended so I'm sure it's earned more stars, but would love to hear opinions on allergies and places that don't have "safe" serving spaces for nut allergies. Even the creamery had a nut free station
