This is our favorite spot, the ambience is always nice. Service is excellent and food is always prepared to perfection and always fresh. Our server, Shay, made sure we got exactly what we wanted. She was sweet, patient (yes, I do tend to change the entrees to my liking see the photo) Well, what can I say, I know what I like and want she was very professional and hospitable, 10/10 service from our dear Shay. Will mention, their manager Peter, who was attentive, courteous and made us laugh, which put us in even better mood. Love seeing people like that. Great food and great people are the great reason to always come back to our favorite spot. Worth mentioning. Their clam chowder is just so flavorful, I love when I don't have to fish for clams and my spoon is full of it with every time I try. Great great experience every time, highly recommend this location

$5 happy hour drinks? Sign me up. I haven't been to any Red Lobsters since the major location closures but I was driving back from a trip and decided to stop in the Valencia location near Magic Mountain. Place was packed on a weeknight. Happy hour is 3-6p weeknights (my $5 Mark West Pinot wine was so needed that night while consuming my cheddar biscuits). I ordered a Lobster Shrimp/Salmon plate ($47.99) was so tasty on a huge plate that anyone would need a doggie bag. Lobster tail was so delish which was my favorite. I did like the shrimp and salmon as well. Sides I opted for potato and broccoli. Everything was buttered and seasoned well. My server Roxy was attentive and amazing. Parking lot was huge and plenty of room. It was a lovely time overall. Thank you Red Lobster for bringing me back to old memories that I miss so much. I will stop by again when driving on my trips.

Shrimp Trio
Molly R.

Red lobster is one of our favorites places to eat, went for lunch , new menu , some specials and the rolls never disappoint! I had the shrimp trio , honestly thought it was going to be small portions, like an appetizer, but no it wasn't, served on a huge dinner plate and delicious! Kimberly our server was the BEST, she was so attentive and kind, smiling always , definitely understands and applies Great work ethic!! Not that many Red Lobsters around so if you get a chance, check them out !! I love their decor and theme too so cool

I don't get to visit Red Lobster often since there aren't many locations in Los Angeles County, but I happened to be near the Valencia location during happy hour and decided to pop in. I started with a $5, 20-ounce Blue Moon. It was crisp, ice cold, and served in a chilled mug nothing beats that on a 90°+ day. For an appetizer, I asked my server Edwin, who was great, by the way for a recommendation. He mentioned the seafood dip with flatbread or the seafood stuffed mushrooms. I went with the mushrooms. They were served piping hot with melted cheese and a buttery sauce, but the imitation seafood stuffing wasn't my favorite. I'd give them 3/10 for flavor. For my main, I ordered the Mariner's Boil $50.99 and added Cajun sausage (loved the sausage since they were well done) $6.49 plus an Old Bay butter ($3.49) on the side. The boil came with lobster, crab, shrimp, 1/2 dozen red potatoes, and two corn cobs. Edwin suggested mixing the roasted garlic butter with the Cajun butter so good! The crab was sweet and easy to eat, and the shrimp was good. The lobster was decent but a touch undercooked for my taste. There were a lot of red potatoes, but they were undercooked and the corn was clearly frozen and a bit mushy but the butter helped. The atmosphere feels like the early '90s classic Red Lobster nostalgia from back when we'd go for birthdays or graduations. While a little dated, it's part of the charm. And they didn't offer me biscuits not too sure if you're supposed to ask for them either way I didn't get them :( Overall: * Appetizer: 3/10 * Mariner's Boil: 6/10 * Service: 10/10, thank you, Edwin! Total with tax was $86.11 before tip. Would I return? Possibly, but I'd make a few tweaks to my order.

Lobsterfest Boil with Old Bay and Butter seasoning
Janet M.

We were supposed to go somewhere for lunch but as we passed by Red Lobster on the 5 freeway, he started talking about it and I mentioned that I have never been to a Red Lobster. We made the immediate decision to exit to head out here. I read the reviews and saw that "smell" was an issue so I expected to smell something. As soon as we entered the restaurant, we were greeted right away and didnt have to wait to be seated since they just opened. I can immediately smell the old musky smell but it wasnt that bad. It was expected since they have a tank with lobsters by the front desk. Not long after we got seated, our server took our drink order then brought us a basket of complimentary biscuits. It was warm and good. It wasnt anything like Popeye's biscuit. We ordered the "Lobsterfest Boil" which came with 4 decent sized Maine Lobster tails, a dozen shrimp, some 2 corn on a cob and several red potatoes. For the seasoning, we got the Old Bay and Butter and opt for medium spicy. I cant tolerate super spicy and this one has a kick to it. The flavor of the seasoning was good. Our only complaint was that the shrimp could have been a little bigger. The shrimp that came with our order was really small. Service was great. Our server checked on us a few times and refilled his drink twice. The price is decent being that its seafood. We both had to use the restroom to clean our hands and face to get rid of the shrimp/seafood smell. Yes, there is a weird smell inside the bathroom which I suspect is from their sewage or pipes. Overall, my first time at a Red Lobster was great.

Dinner date
Miori I.

I couldn't even tell you when our last Red Lobster experience was. The last time we were craving, we were sadly met with a closed location. Fate brought us to the Valencia location, obvi! Sitting a traffic, a glance to our right, then immediately drawn into the big Lobsterfest signage at the roofline. See fate! The decor was exactly how I remembered it to be. Could use an update but then again, it's what you expect to see. Decent size lobster tank right in the restaurant lobby as you walk in. Several split off dining rooms and seating areas. Our waitress was friendly, attentive, and on top of everything. We order the cheddar biscuits right away, a must! Came out hot and fluffy just like we remember them. Oh the nostalgia! We also ordered: -Fried Calamari -Lobsterfest meal: Lobster & Shrimp Linguini. Garlic Butter Lobster Tail, Caribbean Rock Tail, Bacon Mac & Cheese, Crispy Brussels Sprouts Fave dishes were the biscuits, duh. Also both lobster tails, and the Crispy Brussels Sprouts. I am a sucker for brussels, will always order them if I see them on the menu. Glad we shared meals instead of ordering full plates for ourselves. The 3 item Lobsterfest meal with the 2 sides was plenty for the two of us.

Crab Your Way
Ericka G.

I haven't been to Red Lobster in almost ten years but last Friday I decided to see what the new menu was hittin on. I ordered the Crab Your Way and it did not disappoint. I order the bairdi crab with cajun butter and a side salad. The crab was so fresh and full of meat. I felt like a pig eating a pound of crab at the bar. Lol! The bartender, Kevin, was so nice and sweet. He recommended that I come back for happy hour next time because the drinks are 5 bucks. Needless to say, I went back this past Friday with a friend this time. We sat at the bar with Kevin and ordered the new Mariner's Seafood Boil. Again, the crab was fresh. The lobster was delish and those potatoes were bomb. Lol!! Big ups to the nee CEO. He did his thing with reviving Red Lobster.

My party and I decided to stop by Red Lobster after a full day at Six Flags Magic Mountain, and it really hit the spot. We were seated immediately and greeted by our server. Biscuits came out hot and fresh - cracking a little black pepper between them takes to the next level. Service was quick and efficient, both for the apps and mains. I decided to split an entree with a friend, and the portion was very generous. Food really hit the spot!

Lobster & shrimp linguini, cheddar biscuits, and crab carbonara.
Christina Y.

This was my first time dining at a Red Lobster and I have to say that the food and experience are quite underrated. I think most people tend to dine at a Chili's, Yard House, or Applebee's but Red Lobster has the potential to be as popular as its competitors. I personally think Red Lobster is the underdog because of its expertise on seafood, which can be tricky among different customers. Anyway, my husband and I had lunch at this location last Sunday and we were pleasantly surprised to see that it wasn't busy at all. We were seated very quickly and our server's name was Anya, I believe. She was kind and accommodating to our needs and requests. The food was also delicious and filling; the cheddar biscuits were fluffy and savory, and the crab carbonara I ordered exploded with flavor. My husband had the lobster & shrimp linguini, which was also delectable. We probably won't be back soon since we are actually not from the Santa Clarita area, but if we ever are, we may dine in again!

The lunch sizes are large with plenty to take home or share. I love the green and gorgonzola salad. Fresh greens, crumbled gorgonzola, candied walnuts, onions and tomatoes. The caprese sandwich was full of flavor and fresh. Wolfcreek has a nice lunch menu and well as a full menu with lots of food options. There is a reason this place has been here for over 25 years.

Food ratings: Bread plate- Our appetizers. Pretty standard bread with a crust outside and soft inside. It was accompanied with olive dip. Jambalaya- This plate was pretty good but as time went on, the spice began to really build up for me. My spice tolerance is also pretty low. The flavors and the pasta noodles were good but yeah I did feel like there was a good amount of red peppers in my plate. Had some extras for leftovers. Tri-Tip Plate- You can choose what sauce you want with your meat (which can be cooked to your liking). We didn't like how the meat was literally doused in the sweet, tangy BBQ sauce. It was tender but yeah, the sauce felt like too much and it made the plate too sweet somehow. Sundried Tomato Pesto- The linguini noodles were delicious and creamy with the sauce. Good flavored pasta. Pine nuts included!!! Be aware for any allergies. Good portion size, took some home to-go. Spicy Thai pizza- Has peanut sauce and almonds on the dough. It was enjoyed by my friends and they found it pretty tasty. The beers on tap were pretty delicious, some of us ordered another. Hmm, I dont remember if there was still a happy hour going on even though it was Monday night since I didn't see any menu for it.

Lovely spot for drinks and dinner in Santa Clarita…read more I was in the area running errands and decided to grab dinner nearby on a Thusday evening around 6:30 pm. I found this place on Yelp and dropped by for dinner. My party of 2 was seated immediately. Personally I thought the menus were hard to read. The gray lines in the background were quite dark and clashed with the actual menu items. My suggestion to the restaurant would be to reprint the menus with lighter background. They have an extensive cocktail menu with a lot of gin-based drinks. They also have good selection of wine and NA drinks as well, including some mocktails. I got the I'm Driving mocktail ($13), which I really liked. It had good passion fruit flavor without being too sour. Felt like a really nice tropical juice. My friend really liked his drink Bramblin' Man ($17), which had strong notes of bourbon and blackberry. I wasn't super hungry, but the braised short rib looked amazing so I got that for $43. It was very tender, but I personally found it bland especially on the inside. I asked for additional sauce so I could drench each bite in the sauce. My favorite part of the plate was surprisingly the potato croquette, which was perfectly crispy and well flavored. My friend got the chicken club ($23), which he enjoyed. I stole a bunch of his seasoned fries since they were so good. I would've loved to get dessert but was too stuffed. Next time!

So we settled for this American Burger chain. Pretty big store that felt modern and welcoming. The layout was great and we didn't feel lost at all from start to finish. We were in town because of a friend's play, and it was nice that it was right next door too. I got the Onion Stack Burger. The patty was well seasoned and the crispy onion strings gave it a wonderfully textured bite. Hickory sauce was tasty and the fries were crispy and well seasoned. I asked for ketchup on the side and I don't know why but cold, refrigerated ketchup always taste the best. I had to drop a star because the service was lacking a little. The worker was nice and responsive but we had to wait quite a bit as I think he was talking to a friend when we got there. He noticed we were in line but they were just having a conversation unrelated to the burger joint. She left the spot after 5-ish minutes and we were greeted pretty carefree following that. He also forgot to give us our number which we had to go back for. Anyhow, the food was great, and the ambiance was great. I'd definitely recommend a try if you can't think of what to eat while shopping/waiting at the mall.

(And maybe not again.) The first time was a lot less busy and we had no problems. This second time was different, unfortunately. It was a Friday night and, being the day before Valentine's day, it was busy. No excuses though....if you are going to offer gluten free options you MUST be able to handle that accurately when it's busy. Our server was WONDERFUL and did exactly what she should have done with all of this. I had many questions about the gluten free options and she was able to answer them, or went back to the kitchen to double check. She did not make me feel like a bother or inconvenient at all. I ordered chicken alfredo with gluten free pasta. When my meal came out, it had fettuccine noodles. I had a twinge in my stomach because this did not seem right, and from last time, I did not remember those being the gf noodles. I asked the guy that brought my meal if this was the gluten free pasta, I think there may have been a language barrier because his accent was thick and his response was, 'is this what you ordered?' I said yes and he walked away. I waited for our server to come before I took a bite by so I could TRIPLE check with her and she noticed IMMEDIATELY the dish was not right. She said, 'oh no! This is not the gluten free pasta. It should be the penne noodles!' She took the dish away. I was interested to find that the correct dish with gf penne noodles came out within 5-7 mins. The only gf pasta that I know of that cooks that quick is fresh gf pasta (8mins). And this pasta you serve is not refrigerated fresh pasta, lol. Was the wrong dish sent to the wrong table by accident? But why did the person that brought my dish not know what he was bringing? There was also very little sauce to be found on the dish. I am not a sauce person so for me to say there was no sauce....it was almost non existent. Now....price. I don't remember the original price of the dish I got, but you up charge SIX?!?!?!?!!! Dollars for the gluten free substitution pasta (most I've seen is $3-4)? And adding chicken is another $8?! My dish came out to be $32. And I will be honest, it was NOT worth that. No manager came out to make sure everything was better. Nothing was taken off the bill for a HUGE mistake, that could have cost me my health or a trip to the hospital. Not happy with this experience. Not happy paying $136 for this experience. Train yourselves with more accuracy please. Thank you.
