    New England Clam Chowder
    Britney M.

    The food was decent. I'll be honest, Red Lobster is just so-so for me. It seems like it's very overpriced for the portion sizes. When they have the endless shrimp deal, that is worth it. I ordered some popcorn shrimp and the salmon dish. The salmon dish was nothing special. I loved the popcorn shrimp though. Crispy and satisfying. The mozzarella sticks were hot and gooey. Those are surprisingly good at Red Lobster. The clam chowder is pretty darn good too. Service was not too bad. Ambiance was warm inside the restaurant. It felt like they weren't running the air conditioning. My husband and I were sweating pretty bad. Not sure we would return just because of not feeling comfortable.

    I love Red Lobster. I always get my favorite -- the Shrimp Your Way duo or trio with the Parrot Isle Coconut Shrimp and the Shrimp Scampi. I also love their Caesar salad and the cheddar biscuits. It's a shame you now have to add $3+ if you choose the salad as your side when it used to be free. Come on, Red Lobster -- it's just a salad! Yesterday, I decided to try something new and ordered their seafood boil. I chose the Signature flavor (all the flavors mixed together), and it was okay. I asked for level one spice, and I definitely felt the burn on my tongue and lips for a while. I got two snow crab clusters for around $36. The crab was meaty and cooked perfectly. Service is always good, and the tables and bathrooms are always clean. Nothing to complain about.

    Literally nobody there waited over 20 minutes for them to give me my order at the to go curbside pickup
    Dante R.

    The to go order takes entirely way to long upon pick seems to be a 20-30 minute wait after check in before they come out to give you the order that's unacceptable. The food is always solid though. Let's speed the to go curbside pickup service up though that would help out alot.

    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."

    Went for lunch today. I ordered the shrimp trio I believe it was 18 dollars and OMG the size of the portion was huge, definitely one gets their monies worth and really delicious...and the service was perfect. And the restaurant was very clean ..

    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.

    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 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.

    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.

    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...

    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.

We arrived with 15-20 folks. The air conditioned indoors was a welcoming environment! What I like is that you order at the counter so that the issue of splitting checks is not there. When we ordered you saw a sign that said this isn't fast food your food is made to order to warn us don't expect your food right away. I was slightly worried because we had a second game in 2 and a half hours but I knew it would be okay. We ordered and sat inside. The staff was kind enough to let us move tables around. Then I'd say within 10 minutes our food orders started coming out. The orders then continued to come out at a very steady pace! We were shocked. Then we were shocked at how DELICIOUS the food was. One by one like a chorus of glee, each person commented on how much they enjoyed their food. The menu was so vast that no one had the same order in the adults and each person loved their food. There was only one hiccup. One of the parents order a canned drink but didn't notice that it was alcoholic. This was in no way the fault of the restaurant as it was obviously beer. The parent didn't complain he just opened it and left it. The waitress who was bussing our area asked him was something wrong if he didn't like it and the dad said, I didn't realize it was alcohol. The waitress walks over with the POS machine asked him is order number found the drink and refunded it to the dads card. She did this completely unprompted and strictly because she felt it was the right thing to do. THAT is how you provide excellent service! Thank you The Local Provisions for your gracious hospitality!
