    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.

    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."

    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, 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

    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 shrimp trio

    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 ..

    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.

    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.

    Our first time in Temecula and we had an amazing meal at Bluewater Grill. We had to wait a short…read moretime but it definitely was worth the wait. We started with drinks and soon after we sat down came the bread. The bread was really good and the person passing it out was friendly. Next, my husband ordered a glass of a local Tempranillo that he enjoyed. We shared a Crab & Avocado Salad which was split by the kitchen. It had a nice light dressing and the portion was a great size to split. My husband ordered the spicy tuna and had them put it on the side. Although he tasted the sauce, it was very spicy. I had the special paella. It had lots of different kinds of seafood along with chorizo sausage. It is a huge portion with a large amount of rice and peas. For dessert, we shared the key lime pie. It was a good combination of sweet and sour. Our waiter was very attentive and came back several times to check on us. Although it was a bit noisy, but not unbearable. We would recommend this place for a nice sit-down dinner..

And the restaurant was not busy at the time. Service did improve and became much more attentive by the middle of our meal, but we were also disappointed to find that our utensils weren't entirely clean. ​The kitchen clearly knows what they're doing, but better attention to cleanliness and consistency in service would make a huge difference.

    Always a fantastic spot. My wife and I have been coming here for years now, even before moving to…read morethe area. The staff are always nice and very accommodating to help us navigate their menu around my wife's allergies. But the food is absolutely delicious! Our immediate go-to is the Surf & Turf Burrito. The asada is consistently marinated to perfection with a perfect Maillard and the shrimp is nicely seasoned. With the generous ratio of proteins to make sure you're getting the best of both worlds in every bite. Now I'm a sucker for a good shredded beef hard shell taco, but with that being said, I can also be very picky. Usually some places can't get the crisp right, sometimes the meat is too bland, or maybe it comes out too soggy... This place knocks it out of the park! Perfectly crispy, beef is seasoned to perfection, and with the choice of all of the flavorful salsas from their fresh salsa bar... I must say they nailed this item.

    I just finished going to Zumba Class at EoS Fitness and this place was in the same plaza so I…read moredecided to stop by and pick up some lunch. It was my first time here so I wasn't really sure what to order. And I just noticed after ordering that there is a self kiosk available too... I saw a nice variety of LUNCH SPECIALS so I had a hard time deciding... SERVICE: A+ Excellent service by a really nice last with long eye lashes! I didn't get her name but, she helped explain the menu items and recommended the FLAUTAS! She also gave a sample of the horchata and I really liked it... AMBIANCE: 10/10 Really nice indoor lighted patio feel. It's perfect for a date night or any occasion. I wasn't expecting it to look so cute and authentic inside... OK so let's talk about the food... FISH TACOS: 10/10 I liked it very much! I thought it was amongst the best in town. Their biggest contender is probably Los Tacos. But, they can win on the quality, portions and pricing. The lunch special was $9.99 and it came with rice and beans. FLAUTAS: 8/10 I wish I ate this right away because if you take it home it will get soggy. The closed box and lettuce and sauces made it mushy. I think I would definitely ask if they can kindly separate the lettuce and keep the box open so the flats stay crunchy next time. It has a nice flavor and texture though... HORCHATA: 9/10 I'm very picky with horchata. To me, it can't be too sweet, too milky or too cinnamony. This horchata was close to perfect. I actually got a nice flavor of the rice, it was not too sweet or watered down and has the right amount of cinnamon. I really like and just prefer it a tad bit thicker or creamier. But, it's definitely one of the best in town! The salsa bar is so nice and CLEAN! The cleanest one I believe I've seen in town. And they are very generous with their salsa bar. There were onions, lime, pickled carrots and radishes. All were very FRESH!! Can't wait to come back and try their other dishes!
