We no longer have Red Lobster near us, in our part of the Metro so when in Texarkana last week, we were pleased to find that Red Lobster is just across I-30. We went for an early dinner. The shrimp Alfredo pasta was spot on, as was the Clam Chowder. Of course the warm Cheddar Bay Biscuits are to die for! read more

I haven't eaten at a Red Lobster in years! We tried this place while on vacation in Texarkana and I am so glad that we did. The menu has so many of the old time favorites, but they also have a new updated menu full of new daily meal deals, drinks/ happy-hour deals, and a variety of dessert options. The service we received was exceptional!!! The hostess and server were phenomenal. Everything was prepped perfectly, seasoned to perfection, and was wonderful. I will have to dine here more often in the future. read more

The waiter took forever! Wasn't attentive at all! Meal was almost over by the time we got bread. The crab was ice cold! Likely because the food sat back there for a long time because it took a long time to get our food. We had to ask two other waiters or crab crackers. When they eventually came, it came by someone other than our waiter. We got them when we were almost completely done eating just like the bread. And the waiter had the nerve to tell us that we should've used the plates they came on for our crab shells. That might've been an option had we had them before the end of the meal. Then he said he was sorry he couldn't get to us because he was so busy. There was a lot of staff in this restaurant! But the restaurant wasn't busy at all. As a matter of fact, it was empty. When we walked in, it took quite a long time to get seated or greeted. Not an experience I would ever want to repeat! Definitely not anywhere near worth $107 meal. read more

Absolutely delicious , I got the surf and turf the steak was cooked to perfection and my kids got the different seafood boils everyone barely talked we were so busy stuffing our faces. Our sever Donna was excellent very friendly and quick to bring extra napkins and drink refills. The manager Mr. Tommy stopped by the table to check in and was very friendly would give a 100 star review of possible. read more

I thought things would be different from six months ago, but clearly I was mistaken. I ordered To-Go again from this location and selected curbside. I was dissapointed the first time from when I had to go inside to collect my order. I went to the take out stand and told them I was there for pickup, a nice looking waiter said he would check on it and left me stranded their for a good 5 minutes before another waitress, who just clocked in, asked me if I needed any help, before he conviently cam back with my order. I should've thought harder about that though because I picked up my order 15 minutes after its estimated time, and yet I still had to wait. Food was cold by the time I reached home, Sorely dissapointed and will REALLY NOT BE BACK ANYMORE, unless I would love some cold, old and lackluster seafood! read more

We went there on September 28, 2024 around 2 in the afternoon. It wasn't busy. But it was much less to be desired for. We ate there once before in 2023 and it was great. And the one in Willis Conroe I went to in 2022. The food was great and wait staff was pleasant. After this past Saturday we won't be coming back. The mushrooms were not as good as before. The shrimp had no flavor. It was just bad. read more

Our waitress barely spoke English. I was the first person to place an order and the last person to receive my food. We had multiple people come in after we had been seated and placed an order that got their food before we did. This was a large group that had called ahead to reserve a private room. The room wasn't ready and we had to insist strongly that we needed another table when they wanted to seat part of our group in another room away from us. I have never had this issue before at this location so I suspect that our server had not been properly trained and needed to be supervised. They had 2 different servers for the one room so the people in the other half of the room got much better service than we did. It took 45 minutes to get a glass of wine for 1 person and a glass of iced tea. Others in the group were served promptly. read more

While our server was very polite and apologetic, service was extremely slow despite there being very few diners present. After my tea glass sat empty for a very long time I eventually signaled our server, however, he returned with a glass of water. The food was cooked well but was far too salty. The portions and presentation were sadly lacking (something red smudged on my plate). $16.89 before tea and taxes. (I know I cannot be the only person who plates food better than this at home, right?) read more

Red Lobster - Wild-Caught Atlantic Salmon* and Broccoli and something smudged from another plate. - Seafood Near Me - Texarkana, Texas

We want to like this place, we really do. But... We were there last Sunday afternoon. There weren't many diners, but that didn't keep our dinner from showing up lukewarm. The manager was nice about it and quick to heat it up, but, seriously, when you spend more than 60 bucks for two, you expect it to be right, certainly un-eventful. Dining is more than the food, it's the experience. I don't know how to fix this place, and we have given it chance after chance to get it right. Perhaps they should have their food orders prepared elsewhere, say, Long John Silvers. That's what we had last night, and it was terrific. read more

Very good food.Great ambiance.Great service. I had more than enough food. It wasn't cheap but it was good. read more

It was valentine day, the food was good but the restaurant was freezing cold. At a point , you just want to hurry up and eat so you can get warm!! $100 meal and you want to leave. Afterwards, I asked a waitress and she said the units have been a problem for awhile. In the summer, it is steamy hot. Why would a nice looking restaurant not make the investment in units that provide the optimum temperature for their customers to enjoy their expensive meals? I won't be going back until I hear they have remedied their problem and by the looks of the parking lot, I am not the only one. read more

Wesley Jean was amazing,Food was delicious made exactly as requested,he recommended the coastal colada which I absolutely loved! service by all staff was awesome compliments to the chef & bartender! read more

It's very good food and very good service and very good ambiance and it's is very good too and good food too.

Terribor customer service! We called for a reservation for a holiday lunch for our business & were told they don't take reservations, but can have that room. When we got there, we were told another party reserved the room, so we couldn't have it. I asked to speak to the manager & he was extremely rude, got in my face & said we can't just walk in & get the room. I told him we called & were told they don't take reservations. He implied that we are stupid & did not speak in the appropriate code to get a reservation. I told him it's not our responsibility to know their system for making a reservation. We asked for it & expected them to know their own procedures for making a reservation for customers. Them he stamped his feet & said, Goodby! Very rude!!!! Will never go back. There are too many options!! read more

Waitress was kind and did her best. Food took way too long to be served. I ordered the Soy Salmon Bowl that was to come with edamame and Brussel sprouts. It came with neither. I'd find another place to eat. Don't stop here. read more

their seafood stinks. the oceans are over fished & a lot of it is wasted. just stop. you've gotten cheaper quality food, I find it hilarious though that people still indulge in anything endless....especially food. read more

Y'all need to come to this red lobster! They are absolutely phenomenal. The best red lobster ever! Huge shoutout to korey our waiter. He was on the ball and he didn't waist no time in customer service he was respectful, he listened to us and he took care of us the way a waiter should. Overall I will keep coming back and the ambiance was out of this world. Thank you red lobster thank you. read more

Hannah was a good the only reason I'm giving it too the steak was WELL over done didn't have half of the stuff we wanted took a 1 hour and 20 minutes to get are food read more

I can't review the food due to the fact after 1 1/2 hour we still didn't have any. Kitchen supposedly sold our order to someone else and they were re-cooking it but it never came. Restaurant only had about 10 tables full. Manager and General Manager were both on duty and neither were concerned enough to come explain to us what happened. They sent someone from the kitchen to tell us about the order. If you want to patronize a restaurant that appreciates their customers then you need to stay away from this restaurant. Service is definitely inconsistent and management doesn't care. I did call Tina the manager on duty after we got up and walked out as she did not have time for us while in the restaurant. She was unconcerned and disrespectful on the phone. read more

I should've known better than to come here. Ordered a cup of clam chowder, I think they literally measured 1 cup. Finished it in approximately 4.2 spoonfuls. Ordered the southwest shrimp bowl, mediocre at best. Uugghh!! read more

Was here Friday for lunch. When we walked in there were only 3 men sitting on table waiting to be seated. We walked to hostess stand and she said 15 min wait which was fine and we sat down ( she did not take names). As more came in she started taking them before us and then another came and she sat them. I heard her say "I don't have time to see who's next I'm just taking anyone ". We left and then called to inform management who apologized. Bad service and we will not be back!! read more

Resturant was clean. Everyone was prompt and courteous. Food was awesome as always! Greeted by Hostess as soon as I walked in the front door. read more

Red Lobster is one of my all time long time favorites!!! Shrimp trio can't be beat. Friendly people no matter what city we visit.

Seems like things have improved a lot since before the pandemic. The food quality had went down a bit in my opinion in 2019-2020. The food has been great again lately and the staff really nice. read more

Was seated but wasn't served at all. Just got up and left. The restaurant wasn't even packed, there was at most 6 tables seated in the restaurant. read more

Very unprofessional to people who want to be hired. Fake applications and fake scheduled interviews.

Horrible!!!!! We are unable to comment on the food since the receptionist jumped down our throat and wanted to try to fight. We were told that they were way too busy to seat anyone. I walked over and counted a total of only 4 tables seated and a single at the bar. I asked if they had staff issues and were short handed. I was yelled at saying this was definitely not the issue. They were way too busy. Again.... crickets. Lol. 4 tables. I asked to speak to the manager about the abusive hostess. He was too busy to be bothered to come talk to clients. He sent another hostess to do his little work that he was too busy to care. Now, I see why there were only 4 tables occupied and they weren't able to accommodate any more business. read more

On our way home to Fort Worth from Hot Springs, we stopped in for lunch and a break from driving. We've eaten at this Red Lobster before but I have neglected to review it. This time was different. Visits before we're OK, but this visit was great. We had an outstanding server Diego who took excellent care of us. Yes he was young but made some excellent menu suggestions. Even before he left he told us about some coupons that would coming out in a few days. My wife and I were having a hard time making up our mind, Diego never rushed us. I had the lunch fried catfish plate and it was very good. The cornmeal batter on the fish was light and the fish was cooked perfectly. The highlight of our meal was the "Wood Fired Hamburger." My wife was very reluctant to order a burger in a fish restaurant but she said it was one of the best burgers she had ever had. It was cooked on their wood-fired grill and had an intense smokey flavor. It was also "dressed out" perfectly like a classic burger should be. I took a bite and was jealous that I had never produced a burger like that on our backyard grill. The meat was incredible. The manager of the restaurant came by and visited with us for a while and wanted to know what we thought art the new lunch menu. We told her the burger is a solid home run. She did mention since it's been put on the menu it's been a great seller. Customers are amazed after they've tried it. We loved the new layout of the restaurant with the "open" kitchen area. This Red Lobster has a really me updated look and decor. Anytime we're heading down Interstate 30 coming through Texarkana, if it's time to eat or take a break from driving, we'll be stopping at Red Lobster. Yum! read more

Today was a big day for our family! We made reservations early for 10. After 25 min. We received bread. Another 30 min we received more apps. Finally after an hour and 45 minutes, the last dish was served. 3 dishes were served after an hour of being there. Sadly the first meals were served an hour 30 minutes earlier than the last 4. After an hour and forty five minutes, we received the last entree and decided to take it to go. This was our our daughter's college graduation dinner and unfortunately it was a terrible decision on my part to trust Red Lobster to come through. Our server was really upset and did her best, however the kitchen was horrible. As a certified chef, I understand the ebbs and flows of a kitchen, therefore my family made sure to respect the art of culinary and service, but 2 hours on a 10 top that made previous reservations is ridiculous. The sad part is, the manager never came out to see us and didn't offer to grat a single thing. I paid $346 for our meal and 40% of our party got to go boxes after waiting an hour and 45 minutes for 4 of the 10 meals. Completely ruined the end of our celebration. It wasn't the servers fault. She tried and we made sure to take care of her. However management failed the staff. I've never felt so ripped off in my life! read more

Horrible service!!!!!! I asked for no onions on my salad. Onions was put on my salad and instead of making me a new salad, they took the onions off, leaving a piece of onion on my salad. My waitress was named Sidnee. I asked to speak to the manager. He apologized, but didn't accommodate me in any way. I explained that I could have had a food allergy. Nothing was done about it. Sidnee was not a good waitress she never filled our drinks, nor asked if we wanted more bread. She became distant after the complaint. Normally, I am a big tipper. However, due to the blatant disrespect. She got a penny. See attached picture of the piece of onion I found on my salad. read more

DO NOT EAT HERE! We were a party of 6! Arrived about 8:30 and were told there was a 40 min wait. Since we had to wait on some of our party we stayed. We were seated in about 20 minutes. We ordered our food in about 10 minutes! Even with only about 3-4 tables, It took about 30 minutes to get our food. The fish and chips, the fish was apparently Pre fried and then microwaved. Coating was soggy and fish was tough. Crab legs were very cold AND we never got crackers to crack the claw portion. They also were out of coke slaw. The kitchen staff was more interested in closing up than finishing the last orders of the night. Our waiter had to go to the kitchen and get the LAST of the butter for our crab legs. Our waiter seemed to be the only one waiting on people while the others were cleaning. read more

Okay after a hiatus from this Red Lobster we came in on our way for Christmas to DFW area. Background is we live in TN near the KY border so Texarkana is a great place to stop and overnight. We used to frequent this Red Lobster but stopped after two bad experiences. We decided to try it one more time after 1.5 years; things have changed . Rolls hot delicious, Caesar Salad nice and creamy/crunchy, crab perfectly cooked and margaritas strong. Service was good too; Alexus was super at service. read more

We haven't been to red lobster in probably 10 years and now I know why. The service was nice but the food was so greasy/oily I could feel my face starting to break out. The shrimp scampi was sitting in oily soup, I should have taken a picture but now I shudder to remember it. Maybe that is why the push the alcohol so hard to cut all the grease or so you are too drunk to notice. Overall I am happy to never eat at another red lobster for the rest of my life. Cheers! read more

Overall, the food and service tonight were good. We almost went next door, but the reviews for over there made the decision for us. I'm not upset about the decision we made. I can say the bathrooms were clean. I didn't see an inspection report, but the restaurant looked clean enough. read more

We arrived at the restaurant lass than an hour before closing and the AC was so fierce. With a few customers dining-in there was no need to freeze the place. The server said she'd ask them to turn it down but the air never stopped blowing. My friend who is usually grateful for an efficient AC was uncomfortably cold. We changed our order to take out. So, food was cold too. read more

The last flight out of Texarkana leaves at 5:05 pm, I kid you not, and I missed it and was stuck in Texarkana for another night without a car. The only eatery within walking distance of the Marriott Courtyard was this Red Lobster. The food was rubbery, bland, and just plain not good. But it was an experience. Our waitress, who cannot pronounce "salmon" (a bad sign at a seafood restaurant, I think -- she calls it SAL-man), tells us this is a dry county. Right behind her is a full bar -- I am confused. Doesn't "dry" mean no liquor? No, she says, here a dry county means you need a drinking card, then you can go at it. She gives us a form to fill out, takes it back, does not check ID, then delivers a big margarita. Apparently as long as you are still sober enough to make up a fake name, you get to drink in this "dry" county. I am staying away from the SALman, and I think, all other fish she cannot pronounce. I am wondering if the lobster is safe, it is the place's name, after all. I land on some crab plate, which is subpar. I think this, my first Red Lobster experience, is likely to be my last. That is, unless I miss that flight again. read more

A family of 6 walked out with any kind of service or attention. The hostess tried to ignore us when asked why we they hadn't come to at least take our drink order. She could have cared less. Wish I knew her name, her name tag was tucked inside her pocket. When I got up and said this service is unacceptable, she then tried to make it better. Hope she got fired! Doubt it!!! We will never be back. We then came across the road to Outback. Many more people there and I see why. I will say the manager tried to make it better but the damage had already been done. My mother will let her friends know what horrible service she experienced. The restaurant lost a $250 bill tonight. I had to give it one star to leave my review but it is a BIG FAT ZERO STAR rating!!!!! read more

Went mid afternoon, no rush, for unlimited shrimp. As another reviewer posted, they start you out with two selections, but then they serve TWO orders of each that you've selected, or 4 servings! I ordered the shrimp scampi & shrimp & linguini alfredo to start out (not knowing about the double servings). Now don't get me wrong, I love the added quantity, but not all at once... As was stated, the food starts chilling before you can possibly eat it all. Way too much linguini for the amount of shrimp, though it was delicious, I couldn't finish all the noodles. Also tried the new TN Hot shrimp. They weren't really "hot", but there was a little tingle at the end and you could taste the honey. They were OK... I'd order them again. At that point I was too full to try the Mediterranean skewer of shrimp... all this for $18.00. Well worth it! My server was Ruth and she was great! Very happy, attentive, and a real pleasure to have as a server. Food & drink was served promptly, and she checked on me routinely to make sure I was OK and didn't need anything. read more

They are getting 2 stars because of the awesome staff that waited on me. Unfortunately their food was really bad. I ordered the grilled garlic shrimp with roasted brussel sprouts and rice. The shrimp were under cooked, the rice was crunchy, and the Brussel sprouts were dried out and hard as rocks. The portion of rice and veg were really small. Felt like I got the last bit left for the day. Sweetest waitress ever. They need a new cook. read more
