    More scrumptious Mac n Cheese
    DeLisa T.

    Red Lobster. You have done it again. Twice as good and twice as nice. You are 2 for 2, and our family gladly accepts the prestigious role of "regulars". From the time we entered the restaurant until the time we left, the hosting and dining experience was beyond extraordinary. The food was wonderfully prepared, tasty, and served with excellence. "Blake" you are amazing. Red Lobster definitely chose the best when they chose you. Red Lobster, your staff and service are reminiscent of a very popular TV show called, "Uncover Boss." The show always recognized the best of the best. And oftentimes the CEO of the featured organization would reward their staff with extra special unexpected surprises. If I ever get the opportunity to somehow reward the staff with a special, unexpected, heartfelt gift, I would do it immediately. Giving to others is such a gift. Red Lobster you provide so much more that what you offer on the menu. You treat all your dining guests so very special. And for customer, you make it very easy to choose Red Lobster as our restaurant of choice. The impact of the food and services received tonight inspires me to write this genuine review at 11:49 pm on a Friday evening. Sincerely, Proud time be called a "regular."

    My nephew wanted red lobster for his Birthday, and I was not looking forward to it, since I figured the restaurant chain had gone done hill! But I was pleasantly surprised, my BF had the surf and turf and really liked his food and I liked my chicken! The customer service was great, loved our waiter, and the food came out in a timely manner. My only gripe is the price was high. 67$ for 2 people.

    The boil
    Daniel O.

    Popped in to try to boil bags. Took me back a bit to the hey day of boiling crab in garden grove or Rowling Heights iykyk. The lobster dip was solid, seasoned well. The Diet Pepsi tasted great, really fresh tasting (I'm a Diet Coke kind of guy) Our server was fantastic. We got the bag with lobster l, shrimp and crab legs with Cajun butter. The corn was good, we added sausages ( a little steep for $6.99?) for one IMO. Potato's were cute too big, a little underdone. The biscuits were hot and fresh. It's a little run down; the men's bathroom is an outdoor portable...didn't ask but felt weird to walk outside just to wash my hands. Hostess was nice but didn't offer us a high chair, she did manage to say bye as she was FaceTiming with someone. The table next to us was not cleared the entire time we were there. Someone started but then just left it all. It's honestly more of 3ish but our serve. Can't remember his name really made our night. He was kind, efficient and personable.

    The restaurant completely dead. No one inside according to our dasher. We ordered our food 2 hours ago. Absolutely ridiculous. We thought that we should order one more time before they are closing up the restaurant, what a big expensive mistake. They should close it now. Why waiting if you can't even cook 2 meals?

    The last time I visited a Red Lobster was approximately 13 years ago. I was curious what they offered for their crabfest and wanted to try their seafood boils. Both the Mariner's and Sailor's Seafood Boil were tasty. If you like garlic, I recommend getting the garlic butter flavored boil. The portions are best suited for 1-2 people. It appeared to be a long wait, luckily I made reservations. Definitively worth the time to reserve ahead of time. Although there was plenty of seating, they seemed to be short of staff unfortunately. Mario was our server and he was excellent. Very friendly and genuine. My family and I will come here again.

    Train your staff when there are hour changes, nobody should be picking up the phone if they don't have proper info... I called around 6:30 to see if the restaurant would be open the next day (Christmas) unfortunately the girl said they are from 12-9pm, she did have to go ask... I say unfortunately because working on a holiday sucks... but anyways, during this call I said "Ok I'll need it sooner than that so I'll just pick up tonight. You close at 10pm correct?" She confirmed... I then said "ok I'll call back when I'm on the way later tonight, I'll just be ordering biscuits" Ok I called back around 8:30... Can't place the order because they are closed!!! Which overall is a good thing, they get to spend time with their family BUT I was giving wrong information so now I can't provide for mine... Everywhere online also says 10pm... Holidays are no surprises so a manager should've took whatever steps they needed to insure holiday hours were posted and staff was aware of holiday hours...

    In a way, it's a bit sad to see an iconic American restaurant like Red Lobster losing its popularity and becoming something other than what it once was. Although our last couple experiences have been disappointing, we came back for the crab fest. The service was not what it should be, losing some of the basics. As just one example, the plate of 1 lb of crab came but Red Lobster had ran out of the crab crackers needed to eat the crab. About 15 minutes later they were able to wash and get us the crackers. By that time the crab legs were cold, we asked for them to be warmed up. After a while, the server took our crab legs, came back with the crab legs still cold but with a warm plate. Asking again to get our crab legs warmed up, the server needed to request special permission from the manager. Eventually, they took and brought back those same crab legs warmed up. What we miss the most, from the former Red Lobster - the cheddar Bay biscuits (once delicious). Nowadays they are semi-tasteless and beyond dry. I think they are now, once frozen, instead of the former, "fresh from the oven" great taste.

    It's been a while since I've been here but I have to say the service and the food has gotten better since the last time. The table side service was a very nice addition. I would even say the deals have gotten better, especially with 5 dollar drinks and those flights look so amazing. I will be back to try. I will say our drinks were on point though. The day we went there wasn't a miss. Ok so I had the boil. Get the old bay in the boil with the Parmesan sauce in the side. Deep your meat in that side sauce and it will surprise you how good the boil is... ALL AND I MEAN EVERY BIT OF THE MEAT WAS COOKED PERFECTLY... I'm talking from the the crab, to the shrimp, to the potatoes and corn and even the lobster... I don't know who's cooking but they have it down pat. Lastly the ambiance was great I must say... they had the right lighting with the right amount of volume to the music where you can hear it but it doesn't disturb your conversation at all. Oh yea, the AC was blasting and felt amazing coming in there out of this summer heat.

    I ABSOLUTELY LOVE RED LOBSTER! I have to admit that I am a regular at ordering through UBER EATS. Whenever I have a LOBSTER craving, I know exactly who to call... GHOSTBUSTER THEME SONG turns on: Thananananana! Who you gonna call? RED LOBSTER!!!! SERVICE: A+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ It shows up right at my front door courtesy of UBER EATS!!!!!! Thank you!!!! I finished ALL 3 Lobster tails by myself!! Beware for those who are constipation prone it's high in sodium so NOT CONSTIPATION FRIENDLY!!!!!!!!! Speaking from experience so I've had to cut down on LOBSTER!!!! The Maine lobster tail is my favorite!! I like my lobster on the soft, tender and juicy side!!!!!! ROCK ON RED LOBSTER!!!!!!!!!!!! Who you gonna call? RED LOBSTER!!!!!

    They now take the meat out above the shell and bake, when before it was cooked inside each half shell split open.

    My experience with Red Lobster is going downhill each time I eat there. This time I only ate here because I had a $10 gift card to use. ON this day, Nov 1, I ordered the two lobster tail (you can substitute the tougher rock lobster for another Maine lobster tail), and two sides. First of all, I live in San Diego and Red Lobster closed the only two locations in the City of San Diego. So I stay at an AirbnB sometimes in Temecula and have people to eat with in Temecula. Last year I ate at this Red Lobster with my property manager Eddy. He paid for about 5 people(his family), and myself. But in fall 2024 I bought Lobster Lover's Dream for an employee in his office because she just passed the exam for her real estate license. It cost me $71 for Lobster Lover's Dream, including tax and tip. On top of that she got fired 4 months later. In paying for Eddy's employee's dinner, and ordering my own Lobster Lover's Dream, they no longer include the Caesar salad as a free side, you have to pay a premium for it, on this date Nov 1, 2025 $3.49. You have to pay $5 MORE if you want lobster in your fettuccini, otherwise you get shrimp, when before the lobster was all they had and it was included free. An THEN, the Maine lobster tails USED to be 7 oz, but today Nov 1, the server apologized that they are only 6 oz. Eddy gave me his receipt for that night, totaling hundreds of dollars, so I could add the points to my rewards. But I did not know, that Corporate Red Lobster at that time 2024 told me that" I can never accumulate 125 points, because upon doing so, the 125 results in a piece of chocolate cake". I was shocked that Red Lobster Corporate spent my points immediately (when before I could have a choice of 3-4 items that I instigate the time and choice I pick) for each 125 points, and forced me to have the chocolate cake reward. I am diabetic and do not even eat dessert and can't eat chocolate, so Red Lobster blew away my points spending hundreds of dollars for 3 pieces of chocolate cake. Also I get same for my birthday, so I never come in to eat that. After that, I no longer try to get 125 points. Later, 2025, it turns out they offer 3-4 choices again, 3 savory items and 1 dessert. Well it turns out it isn't MY choice to pick, it is Red Lobster's choice, and they always pick the cheapest, and FORCE the dessert on met, and I don't eat dessert. So you can see to ME, I am NOT rewarded for eating at Red Lobster. The lady I ate with at this Red Lobster last night, told me her father just ate here a week ago. When she asked her father how was his dinner, she told me he said not so good, because Red Lobster made so many changes that make you pay MORE for items that used to be included in your entree price, and all the prices were soooooo expensive, already. No wonder Red Lobster closed both San Diego locations, so no more Red Lobster in one of the largest metro areas in the nation. Red Lobster also closed my favorite location which was about 1.5 miles from my Scottsdale house on Scottsdale Road and Obsorn Rd, next to the Olive Garden, years ago. They built apartments there now. So sad. Although the server and the food was good, all my grievances about Red Lobster above, weigh so much, I feel it still deserves a 1 Yelp star, now, from this 9th consecutive year Yelp- Eliter, for this Update.

    I grew up with Res Lobster and still dining here on occasion. After hearing the new CEOs interview on radio, it prompted a visit for a curbside to go order and I'm sorely disappointed. While I don't expect fine dining I've never had an experience at Red Lobster where I wasn't at least somewhat satisfied...even more disappointing as I've been to this same location within past 6 mis after not having been in a few years. The positive - the biscuits are FIRE as always

    Red Lobster, 41649 Margarita Road, Temecula, CA92591. Seafood, American. It's been a long time since we were last here. Food was ok although it was slow in coming. What stood out this time round was the service provided by Jenni. She was cheerful, warm, and went above and beyond throughout that turned an ordinary lunch into a superb dining experience. #Shrimp linguini alfredo #Sailor's platter

    Trust me when I say that the crab stuffed mushrooms were delish! We go to seasons 52 a lot and these were much better! the crab asparagus was good tooooo! We will be back soon.

    Does the clam chowder have bacon in it?

    I believe a Red Lobster rep has said their clam chowder contains pork fat--not taken directly from the meat but rendered from it.

    Are you going to remain open for sit down dinning during this Corona virus situation?

    Hi, John. Thank you for your message. We recommend contacting the location directly for accurate dine in and takeout options. The phone number to our Temecula location is (951) 491-0933.

    A must stop if you're in Temecula! The service was absolutely amazing from the great…read morerecommendations to the attentiveness in making sure everything was to our liking. Now the food... The carne asada was juicy and perfectly cooked. We ordered the loaded fries, and wow they were truly loaded with meat! We also tried the taco enchilada plate as a sampler, and the enchilada sauce was to die for. I literally scooped up every last bit with my quesadilla. They offer several house made sauces with different spice levels, and all of them were delicious. Each of us had a different favorite, so definitely sample them all before choosing. The quesadilla was great too, but if you're deciding, I highly recommend the loaded fries and the taco enchilada plate both were packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. Lastly, we got the horchata, and it was excellent perfectly flavored and not watered down at all. We pass through Temecula every time we visit California, and we can't wait to add this gem to our regular stop. There are so many other menu items we're excited to try next time!

    I love quesibirria! But not here. The tacos hardly had any cheese and the meat? Absolutely cooked…read morein water bc it had 0 flavors. Might as well eat air. What's going on with all the failed Mexican food in temecula? The quesibirria came with 1 consume which is standard everywhere else I eat in San diego and los angeles. Some places here in temecula CHARGE 4$ to add consume soup. Their cosume was nice and oily but NO flavor! Seems to be the trend of this place. So for this they get 3 stars. I want to be fair and try other things but if their meat isn't even seasoned well the other dishes will probably disappoint as well. Its a cute restaurant and the people seem nice. The restaurant feels really laid back.
