Gayan P.

Hanging by a thread. Red lobster once a attractive place for seafood has slowly fallen down the wayside. The service was great, I even like the charm of the slightly old decor... It's the food and presentation that have just not kept up the quality or the changing times. The price point doesn't match the experience and it's no longer an easy choice... It's at the bottom of the list.

Biscuits very dry and flavourless. Lots of salt

We visited the young and Dundas location where the service was great. We thought the restaurant was clean and the ambiance I think is the same as any other red lobster location. The food, we stuck to endless shrimp and tried everything offered. My favourite has to be the coconut shrimp, it came with the pina colada dip, which I thought was really creative and works so well with this dish. The garlic shrimp is unchanged since the dawn of time, a never fail recipe! We also enjoyed dessert, the chocolate cake with ice cream. The scoop I think is a little small and I wish the same was a room temperature because it was super melted and way too soft for me to enjoy... but some ppl like this I guess. I wish they would ask us next time if we wanted the cake warm. Red lobster response after contacting them as per their request: Thank you for the information. We do rely on guest feedback and will forward your comments to our internal team. Thanks Angelica for reaching out.

Biscuits

Food: 4 Stars Service: 5 Stars Ambience: 4 Stars Fill Factor: Satisfied To me, Red Lobster is like that old friend who doesn't change much and that you can rely on when you need comforting. My experiences dining at Red Lobster have been fairly consistent over the years so you usually know what you will be getting everytime you visit the restaurant. During my latest visit, I ordered the shrimp and lobster linguini Alfredo. The dish came swimming with shrimp though they were much less generous with the lobster. The linguini and Alfredo sauce were solid and overall really nothing to complain about. Of course any review of Red Lobster without mentioning the Cheddar Bay biscuits is not complete so as usual they started us off with some biscuits which are as enjoyable as ever. I do not remember his name but our server was amazing as he made sure everything was good with us from answering our questions about the menu to checking in on us regularly and topping up our drinks. The experience was that much better due to his attentiveness so thank you for that. In my recollection the restaurant looks and feels the same from my first visit years ago. There is plenty of seating, seats were comfortable and everything seemed clean. The environment overall was comfortable to be in. The best word to describe Red Lobster is consistency. The experience each time I visit is fairly consistent so if you are looking for seafood in a familiar and comfortable environment then you can't go wrong with Red Lobster.

Ultimate Endless Shrimp

Had to come for endless shrimp - the dishes were simple but very satisfying especially since you can order 3 types of shrimp at a time for the ultimate variety Service was also amazing

Came here for the Endless Shrimp ($28.99 usually for the special, but they were having a promo for $20). The way the promo works is that you first order 2 of the shrimp dishes and a side. After you finish the shrimp dishes, you can keep ordering other shrimp dishes. You are limited to 1 side however. There are 5 different shrimp dishes. Pros: - Good service - Nice ambiance, seating is spacious, and restaurant is not too loud. - Biscuits are good - Ranking the shrimp dishes: Grilled shrimp is by far the best, followed by Walt's, Garlic shrimp (but it's very oily), Shrimp Linguini, then the Coconut shrimp. Cons: - The need to hire more wait staff. Place has lots of seating but no one to serve the customers. - Food is generally very heavy and oily. - A bit on the pricier side if you're not getting the specials. - Shrimp is not the best quality.

SIGNATURE BISCUIT

The food is soooo tasty! The service super friendly and the ambient is nice and spacious! Their signature biscuit with cheese and garlic is to-die-for!

I went to red lobster about a month ago at young and dundas and had a terrible experience. The bartender gives your your food at takeout. She often pampered with my food one time she put hair and dirt in my food . I had to start ordering my takeout buy phone with a bogus name so she didn't know it was mine. I would always give a ten dollar tip but one day I felt she deserved nothing since she put hair and dirt in my food. The last time I ordered she seen me coming in off the sidewalk and she ran into the kitchen to retrieve my order. She gave me a box of 20 biscuits as a joke to substitute the garlic bread I ordered . And my food looked like it was in a hurricane and my order was not correct. She once again tampered with my food. I work hard for my money and I spend a lot at red lobster and I should not be treated like garbage. This bartender at red lobster at young and fundas should be fired. If it was my restaurant I would fire her . She would stand there thinking she deserves to be tipped for takeout food because of her poor service and receiving dirty food with hair in it I never tipped her so she retaliated and tampered with my food and gave me a box of biscuits as a joke.Red lobster also deleted my negative reviews instead of reaching out to me and apologizing for her tampering and purposely contaminating my food. I feel they should reach out to me concerning her behavior. Seafood can be contaminated very easy. One would think that her deliberately contaminating my food would Aldo be a criminal act. Red lobster should take responsibility for this idiot bartender and young and dundas location.they have lost a lot of business because of her

Garlic shrimp

Restaurant I went to Red Lobster restaurant for dinner. Red Lobster is located in a mall on Dundas St. It is a large restaurant with many tables. Food I ordered the endless shrimp special. For the endless shrimp special, I can order two initial shrimp dishes and then afterwards I can order additional shrimp dish. I started with the garlic shrimp and shrimp linguini dishes. It took a while to get my shrimp dishes so I ate the delicious biscuits. The garlic shrimp dish was tiny shrimps in garlic sauce. It was good. The shrimp linguini was okay. Afterwards I ordered the sesame ginger grilled shrimp. You get 5 shrimps on a skewer. It was not very good. Service The service was slow and took a while to get my food. It took an hour to get three shrimp dishes. The waiter was not very friendly. Value Would I go back? No. I have not eaten at Red Lobster in the last 15 years due to poor food and service.

The modern, chic decor sets a wonderful ambiance, and the service was immediate and welcoming. The food was spectacular from start to finish. We started with fresh, warm bread, followed by a flavorful seafood gumbo loaded with meat, and a generous portion of two lightly breaded crab cakes. For our mains, the 10oz ribeye and 8oz tenderloin were seasoned and cooked to absolute perfection--compliments to the chef! They came with a lovely side of baby potatoes and vegetables. We capped off a perfect meal with a warm pecan tart and ice cream. I highly recommend coming here. We noticed they have a pizza oven and plan to add pizza to the menu soon; we already can't wait for our next visit to try it out! Ps parking wise, the restaurant is just off a residential neighborhood and parking is free. No need to pay for any parking, just remember to read signs.

There are specials that change weekly. The interior is decorated with New Orleans memorabilia, medium lit, cozy (not large), with jazz music in the background. Service was attentive and friendly. They operated for 30 years at their old location. This location soft-opened on 2026-02-12. We came on 2026-02-25 for dinner. There were still some furnishings to complete (there were unforeseen delays). They kept the same menu offerings but it will be expanded within a month. We ordered the following: 1. Citra Terre D'Abruzzo Pinot Grigio - Italy (glass $14.95). 2. Coke. 3. Crab Cakes ($19.95). 4. New Orleans Shrimp Cocktail ($19.95). 5. Jambalaya Aranchini (weekly special). 6. Blackened Lamb Chops (weekly special). 7. New Orleans Fisherman's Plate ($39.95). 8. Pecan Pie warmed with Ice Cream ($14.95). 9. Bananas Foster ($14.95). 10. Beignet ($14.95). Every dish had an excellent presentation. We spent a lot of time taking photos and videos. What did you expect from me?! We loved all the dishes! The portions were large! There are more staff than in the previous location, allowing the service to be excellent. They tend to have many loyal and returning customers. Every table starts with freshly baked bread and butter. The bread was so fresh! The three appetizers tasted good. They each had a little kick due to creole cuisine. I loved the shrimp the most. The Blackened Lamb Chops was perfectly cooked. Each of the four pieces were very tender, accompanied by a delicious sauce. The dish had some very nicely cooked seasonal vegetables: roasted potatoes, a red pepper, string beans, a broccoli, and a carrot. This dish will be put into their regular menu in the near future. The New Orleans Fisherman's Plate is great if you want a little sampling of their seafood: Blackened Fish, Cajun Calamari, and Coconut Beer Shrimp. It also comes with rice and seasonal vegetables. The fish was so good! We brought some home for my mom and she really loved it. The Coconut Beer Shrimp was on top of a Orange Marmalade Sauce, which is really liked. The three desserts looked really good and tasted good. I loved the pecan pie the most. They can split dishes in half in the kitchen and serve them on two dishes for two people to share. The restaurant uses fresh seasonal ingredients and spices to create authentic Creole and Cajun tastes. Everything is made in-house except for bread and butter. In the near future, their bread will be made in-house too. Currently, there is only indoor dining but they are looking into the possibility of sidewalk outdoor dining. Mike Djurdjevic runs the front of the house while his wife, Mira Djurdjevic, operates the kitchen. Their son, Marko, also helps in the front of the house. There is a large pizza oven at the back of the restaurant. They will be introducing creole pizza in the near future. There is a separate large room for events, parties, etc. This room will be ready in the near future. They also do catering. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible, but there is no door-open button. There is one gender-neutral washroom, which is also wheelchair accessible, and one female washroom. Thrre is paid neighbourhood street parking. Review 2026-037

The restaurant is a decent size with a cozy and relaxing ambiance. We ordered some of the most popular dishes, and everything that came out was absolutely delicious. Every dish had its own unique flavour and taste. There was a small mix-up with our order when one of the staff accidentally brought us tofu shrimp instead of the fried rice we ordered. Amy, one of the servers/managers, handled the situation so professionally. Even though it was already last call and the kitchen was closing, she was able to have the correct dish remade for us. She sincerely apologized for the mistake and even gave us a complimentary plum drink along with some butter cranberry cookies. Amy provided exceptional customer service and was absolutely awesome throughout the experience. Despite the long wait, the food and service made it worth it.

The crab itself is meaty and fresh, and the bread for dipping makes the sauce the meal's most dangerous feature. Gloves provided; dignity optional. The room is casual, the service attentive and good-humoured. They get busy, so come early or on a weekday. By all accounts from fellow diners, the black pepper and salted egg yolk preparations are equally worth the trip back. I'll be taking their word for it -- soon.
