My dad is obsessed with seafood boils only after I got into them and so when we heard that Red Lobster had them we had to try. Unfortunately the restaurant in Wesley Chapel closed its doors for good so my dad drive to this one. Quite a lot of traffic to and back BUT it was worth it... sort of. We got the Mariners Seafood Boil Famy Meal. Garlic butter and Cajun no spice. Maybe we should've tried spice. It was good, crab came right out of the shell... just not much flavor. Probably won't be back... for the boil. We love Red Lobster just maybe Boils aren't your thing ‍ read more

On the way home on Tuesday, I wanted some seafood. I popped in to Red Lobster. I decided to do takeout and checked over the menu. I noticed there was a Tuesday deal. Bi didn't know that Red Lobster has a daily deal. I got the snow crabs with potatoes and broccoli. All was good. Also, 3 cheddar cheese biscuits and of course, I ate 2 on the way home because it was piping hot. My order taker was super nice and funny. It's been awhile since I had Red Lobster. Everything was good. read more

Me and my friends went back to red lobster to try the seafood boil! It was good, not like a true seafood boil where it is soaked in the butter, but it was good. We came late but got fresh biscuits and the seafood was good, if you are there for a quick stop this is a great spot. The service was friendly and the restaurant clean! read more

This restaurant is in need of renovations ASAP! Visited last Saturday for dinner and was with a large party. Service was a bit on the slow side but it's understandable with the party size. Over all the food is ok but definitely not amazing. I ordered the fish and chips and the fish was great but the French fries were not crispy or hot and the meal came with just 2 small hush puppies. The coleslaw was not good at all and drenched in dressing. Caesar side salad was good and had a good portion size. The cheddar biscuits are not what they used to be either, very dry and tasted like they were missing something. Visited the restroom and it was gross. Smelled like it hadn't been cleaned. I will not be visiting again. read more

Our server Michael was great! He always is every time we go there. As far as the food goes, I found the crab to be not so fresh. And don't order crab on your baked potato. It's not worth the money. read more

Why 3 stars? Sadly the location was VERY quiet and only 4 tables of people for lunch. Service was good, staff was friendly. The prices are always a little high but my issue was the food quality. The clam chowder was always a favorite but it seems they have changed it. Salad was old. Pasta had a piece of plastic in it. The biscuits as always were amazing and a saving grace for an old memory. Sadly I think there was a reason we stopped coming and this visit just cemented that thought. read more

Service - It was good! The greeter was very obvious about their feelings. It was clear that he did NOT want to be there. Our waitress was nice and accommodating despite having to also run the bar. Seemed like there was no bartender on staff today, but she still managed to not get irritated or snappy. Our service was slightly slow because of it, but I know it's not her fault. So, 4/5 for service. Atmosphere - The atmosphere was rather nice! It was cozy and comfortable, but still definitely a spot to take a date to for a first date! Food - The little cheddar biscuits were AMAZING!!! I absolutely loved them. I'm not usually a cheese person either, so that really means I liked it! 5/5 I had the Crispy Dragon Shrimp, and I loved them! Though I was expecting more of a kick, I absolutely enjoyed them. 5/5 My parents had the Lobster Dip. They had to had a little salt to the dip itself and the Pico due to it being rather bland, but other than that, it was good! 4/5 I had the Bacon Cheeseburger minus the bacon and lettuce. I did not like it. It was also missing the tomatoes and other stuff that I didn't ask to be removed. The cow itself was rather chewy, as my mom ordered it well done. The cheese was also stretchy and reminded me of plastic. 2.5/5 My parents both had the Pearl Harbor. They both really enjoyed it, and only had to add some salt and pepper to it. They also were happy with the portion sizes! 4.5/5 Overall, I'd say a solid 4/5! Great atmosphere, (mostly) good food, and great service! read more

Curbside Service was promoted.Ordered take-out and everything we ordered was nice and warm & perfectly cooked. Everything tasted so good.

Lobsterfest with dad and sister. The food was extremely filling and delicious. My favorites (after trying everyone's food) were the lobster mac and cheese, the lobster roll, and the coconut shrimp appetizer! I would recommend dipping the coconut shrimp in a buttery sauce instead of the sweet white sauce that comes with the dish. The lobersterita is wayy too big for one person, but that's not always a problem ;) read more

I will give zero reviews if I could. I was sitting on my ass for 45 minutes on a harder than a rock bench, and I can see people coming and getting sited right away and we are still waiting for a damn table. 0 customer service and from what I was able to see i saw 6 unoccupied tables. I got really pissed and decided to tell the manager of the shitty customer services. I left that slow ass restaurant to outback's steakhouse. Better customer service, cleaner, and and the food was excellent. Don't go to this slow paced restaurant. read more

Stopped in at Red Lobster to order 2 lbs of snow crab legs and a side of steamed broccoli. Hayley took our order. We advised her of the gluten allergy and to note it on the order. We were given our steamed crabs after just a 20-minute wait. Apun getting home, We daw rhey gave us Cheddar Bay biscuits eveb though we told her to denote the order as a food allergy. Our crab legs were placed on top of crispy potatoes. We didn't ask for the potatoes at all. They aren't on the menu or the allergen guide, and we could not tell if they were fried or roasted. The whole meal was cross contaminated. Due to this, I couldn't eat any of it, and I did test it with my gluten tester, and it tested positive for up to 20ppm gluten.  Thanks a LOT, Red Lobster. I haven't been here in almost 14 years due to the fact that you didn't have a gluten-free menu. I got a gift card for 10$  when I ordered a gift card for a family member and decided to order snow crab legs, steamed with no sauces bc how can you possibly mess that up? But it was messed up, and it was a simple order at that. Furthermore, the "steamed" broccoli was soaking in butter water. Since when is it somewhat that's steamed soaking in water in the container? I would give this 0 stars if I could. I do not recommend this Rrd Lobster location or any Red Lobster for that matter to anyone, especially if you are a Celiac. If they can't get an order this simple right, there is no hope. I completely wasted 60.00$ on a meal I could not eat, and everything I ordered is naturally free of gluten. I deserve a refund. I did not ask for biscuits and crispy potatoes, and the person Hayley should have made the notation the order had a gluten allergy. read more

came to try the seafood boil everyone has been raving about on tiktok-- looked super good, saucy, delicious online. we come in and wait for about 15 mins. atmosphere is extremely dated and you wouldn't know that they just got a corporate management change. finally got seated, got my drink but my boyfriend didn't receive his. we placed our order for the seafood boil. about 20 mins later, another lady, guessing management, comes over and says server left (???) and she'd be serving us now. we wait another HOUR for our food and my boyfriend still doesn't have his drink. didn't have the chance to remind her because she didn't come back around to us until our food was ready, an hour later. we ask for extra sauce and she tells us it's 2.99 but she'd comp us for the wait, which was about the only good thing that happened. seafood boil was NOT saucy or buttery. biscuits were doughy and just so-so, and mr. and mrs. crab serves far more food for the same price. $2.99 extra sauce came in a tiny ramuken. it sucks because i was really excited to come try the seafood boil and basically begged my boyfriend all day. i'm extremely disappointed with everything that has to do with this location and will not be returning/recommending to anyone. not to mention! no apple pay? are we in 1943 read more

Just pick up are order it was all wrong. We requested the admiral platter we only wanted the popcorn shrimp and the clamps.The lady says she could do that next.We ordered the Shrimp Scampi, which they totally left off the order.Now we have to take it all the way back , a good nine to ten miles from where we live in 5 clock traffic to have it redone again. The order was over a $100.And you think they would have the courage to read the order right. So whoever was supposed to double check this before the order went out was not doing their job. Now the 89 yr old women i live with has to wait for her food. So now all her medication is push back because someone wasnt doing there job. read more

Perfect evening with a good friend and Husband tonight! Blair was fantastic waiter, and the food was excellent on June 10, 2022. Much better experience than in March. The biscuits were so fresh and good. Husband enjoyed his fried shrimp and French fries, as well as salad beforehand. I had the crab Rangoon appetizer. I've never had it before, and it was yummy. Friend had a salmon bowl with veggies. She couldn't finish it, and Blair brought a box for it & the last cheddar biscuit. We will definitely be back and will ask for Blair! read more

Is it safe to come back yet?  2-3 decades ago Red Lobster was awesome. Lines out the door with wait times, you often needed reservations, the food was great and reasonably priced. In the last decade, it has become a ghost town with tumble weeds in the parking lot. Why? The food stunk! There were always some "safe" items you could count on but the food quality took a huge hit overall. Satisfaction turned to anger and contempt. Lobster. Wife loves it. The Red was a place we could go to get it. Then, 2 consequetive visits where we spent well over $120 for 2 lobster dinners with soup and salad that did not taste like real lobster, it was more like wet and mushy cardboard. It has been over a decade since our last visit. News came that there is new ownership. So, here we go. Right away, at the door, I knew the lobster option was off the table. The tank was full of baby slipper lobsters. I thought there was a size limit in Maine. Excellent service and a team work environment made for a pleasant visit but the food was very mediocre and the place was nearly empty for Wednesday lunch. The wife had Shrimp 3 Ways and I had the Shrimp and Scallop Skewers. The food was very bland overall. Especially the scallops, broccoli and rice. The shrimp, in all it's forms  was the best feature. I was able to add flavor to my meal by adding the wifes leftover scampi sauce to it. As I scanned the room, the median age is fairly high. The older crowd seems to have been a bit more loyal to the The Red. It was only about $20 per person but I can make it better at home. With all the great food in Tampa no real reason to return. read more

This location has gone so downhill. Each time I go it's slower and slower in the restaurant and the service hasn't been decent in months. Every time I go i am disappointed with the lack of enthusiasm from the entire staff. Everyone looks miserable to be here and I would literally rather drive an hour out of my way to go to any other location to enjoy a meal. The only reason I'm giving two stars is because the food has been decent quality. read more

Right now they are having their endless shrimp for $20. I got the linguine shrimp and shrimp skewers. My friend got the coconut shrimp. Another fave is fried green bean appetizers, lobster dip -n-chips, and roasted brussel sprouts. Our waitress was friendly and efficient. We were seated at a table for 6 for our party of 5 so there was plenty of space. read more

NO Value!!!! They raised their prices to the moon and took away a second side!!! Food is so-so and not worth the money!!!!!!

If you are a lover of seafood, I recommend them 100%, good to share with family or friends, a very pleasant experience.

Lillie is the most helpful, knowledgeable and friendly server there! She helped with all the questions I had!

We had one of the worst experiences when it comes to dinner...first, they no longer offer a variety of fish choices which is what I was looking for...they only have salmon or flounder which we were told only came fried...I decided to order the sirloin with a pink center, not bloody just pink, broccoli and mashed potatoes ...my date ordered fries flounder, coleslaw, baked potato with NO SALT(what's with all the salt on baked potatoes?) and everything on the of the bake potato...by the way, their rolls are not what they use to be! Too greasy! My date ordered Diet Coke and received regular coke...I opted for water and lemons...finally the food arrived... my sirloin was overcooked which I sent back at this point I asked if I could get the flounder grilled and waiter said they could do that after saying they couldn't...the mashed potato was okay not great but the broccoli was good...my dates fish was very fishy and greasy like it was old sitting in old oil...coleslaw was good but the potato was a mess of salt and covered with everything! And the corn was nowhere in sight!!! I asked for the manager at this point as the whole thing was a bad experience...I finally got the grilled flounder and my date received the corn and a new baked potato...the corn was old as the it was hard to eat of the husk...it was really a terrible experience and I will no longer come to this establishment....the bill reflected the experience as it was vastly discounted...there's too many other restaurants around and this one is definitely off the list!!!! read more

Worst Red Lobster I have ever used and I have used many throughout the country. Ordered our food last night delivery at 819pm and received it 959pm after having to call twice. A female called me at 940 pm to tell me she found the order but had forgot about it and that we would receive shortly. I stated. 'Bet it'll be pretty cold by the time we got it" and she laughed. I was serious. Don't ever order delivery from here, they forget about you. A wasted $83 for food we could not eat and ended up throwing away . read more

HORRIBLE!!!!! Walked in and had to wait 10 Minutes to be seated and the parking lot is empty. While two servers were chatting it up, saw my fiance and I walk it. They finished there conversation and made no attempt to even greet or acknowledge us and the bartender walks up and says just a moment let me go get the host. THEN finally got seated, I kid you not! It took the waitress another 12 minutes to come to the table. When she finally did come, she brought biscuits which was great however we haven't even ordered our drinks yet. Well drinks took another 7 minutes. My fiance was starving and didn't want to wait and started eating then of course he got thirsty... but nothing to drink. I knew better but by the time I ate a biscuit when drinks were on the table they were cold. So the manager doing manager things is going to tables asking how things are and i told him honestly the service sucks and told him what i just explained. He apologized and got new biscuits himself immediately! BUT THEN! THE WORST PART OF IT ALL! We got our food. I got the choose 2 shrimp combo. I ordered two shrimp scampi's and fries for the side. As I was on my last 3 shrimp i noticed something black on a shrimp I was about to eat.... IT WAS A BUG!!!! I IMMEDIATELY THEW UP MY FOOD, TOLD MY FIANCE I NEED TO GO TO THE CAR BEFORE I SNAP. I WENT TO THE CAR AND THREW UP 2 more times!!!! My fiance ended up paying for his meal and 2 bottle beers and 20% off. They took my meal Off. Honestly you all are lucky i went to the car because if I had stayed in that booth, I would refuse to pay and wouldn't have. It's not like it was good food and bad service, or great service and bad food. SERVICE SUCKS AND THE KITCHEN!!!!! I AM SCARED TO KNOW IF IT IS EVEN CLEAN BACK THERE! Who knows if bugs are crawling around on the surfaces that the food is being handled on, or are things not having lids put on it? Absolutely disgusting. My stomach hurts so bad. read more

Service was painfully slow. Not to mention when I arrived the doors were locked when the business was still open. It took ten minutes for someone to finally open the door. Then when I was finally let in, I had to wait another twenty minutes for an online order. I would not recommend coming in during the final hours of the restaurant being open. It seems the staff cares more about going home than providing adequate service. read more

Great location and easy to find a parking spot. We were seated very quickly and the service was excellent. Their food was average with their pasta looked a bit dry on top and not warm enough. Their roasted garlic crab fest plate was alright for $28 with lots of greasy potatoes on the bottom. Their biscuits were super delicious. I will definitely come back go back just for their fresh baked buttery biscuits for to go. read more

Came here today to pick up my to go order. I don't normally come here any longer however it's my grandmas birthday and we wanted to deliver her food to her at her assisted living facility to help make her day better given we can't visit with the lockdown. Red Lobster makes it so easy to order your food online and pick up at a time you specify. You can choose pickup in restaurant or curbside. If doing curbside you pay online and when you arrive they bring out to you. If you pick up inside, you can choose to pay online or at the restaurant at time of pickup. Arrived and they were not crowded at all. Masks are required and staff is also wearing them. I was immediately greeted by what I could tell was a smiling face from the pickup window. Walked up and she gave me my food as I paid. She made sure utensils were in the bag and the food was already packaged and still hot. Great service today. read more
