I was lost in the fog in Waterford trying to find a place to eat before a dance class, and out of the fog was this Red Lobster. It's not normally my first choice to go to a chain restaurant, but it was fine. The restaurant was mostly empty so we got seated immediately. Most of the items on the menu were very expensive, I found a pick 2 shrimp dinner that had one side choice so that is what I went with. My friend chose the weekday shrimp special that included popcorn shrimp, garlic shrimp in butter, and shrimp linguine Alfredo with Chesapeake fries. He really enjoyed his dinner and had plenty to take home as leftovers. I had grilled shrimp and shrimp scampi and chose a baked potato for my side. The rolls are always awesome and we got a second basket of them. The waitress was really good and very sweet. All in all a great experience. read more

Honestly, I think I have only had Red Lobster twice in my life. Once when I was little and once with a friend whose family enjoyed it, but my family was never into seafood restaurants when I was young, and it still is not today. But I wanted to come here to carry-out their famous cheddar biscuits because I have hear so much about them. I did arrive at an odd time, so there were not many customers, but I was greeted by a couple serves and they got the person in charge to take my order. A dozen biscuits are less than $8, practically cheaper than going to the grocery store and getting the ones in a can to bake. It was perfect. They were friendly and personable. I got home and make mini chicken and biscuit sandwiches for the family with them. They were pretty good, buttery and flakey. I do not taste the cheddar as much as butter, but they were a perfect accompaniment to our meal. One kid loved them so much she already craving more. I would probably come back for another carry-out of their food for dinner. Maybe one day I will also get to eat here, I have always wanted to try the shrimp and the cocktails looked good too. read more

Went there for lunch yesterday. I was thinking since they got to stay opened it would be happy. We were greeted and seated. Than time went by and then time went by. 40 minutes later we got a order in. No workers around. Food came about 20 minutes later. It horrible. The few people who they had working are nice. But there is clearly not enough staff. The food was ok. Not great. I recommend to pass it by. read more

Good service funny staff named Melanise P Took great care of us in her service please Double pay her read more

I couldn't give zero stars. We waited for 20 minutes and no one gave us water, or checked in with us at all. Our meal was going to be more than $100 so we didn't want to spend that much money for that kind of service. They don't have enough waitstaff. Disappointed because we really wanted to eat there. read more

I've had better bar food. Terrible service, very slow, kept bringing us food we didn't order (endless shrimp) and told us to take it home... which we did to be nice but threw it away promptly. Watery alfredo sauce, under cooked potatoes, was told up front NOT to get salads, which we wanted, due to the lettuce looking bad. Will never go to Red Lobster again. read more

So i came in focused - I was avoiding those garlic biscuits which I did but why is it so hard to get only meat. I was coming in to get a "TO GO" - i normally seat in but i had somewhere to be in a hour, so I decided to go with that option. Literally everything you try to buy comes with a side; I didn't want one at all - just some protein and i'm out the door. NOPE! I literally needed help - i'm glad the waitress was nice enough to assist because she did just point to the bar where you place your order. I basically paid for $12 for garlic shrimp skew (its was OK) and boiled flounder (which had NO FLAVOR AT ALL and was horrible). **where's the seasoning** I highly suggest if you going for something simple, then don't do it. Just say F@#K IT and get a full meal and make that your cheat day. Lol! Happy Eating!!! read more

We didn't get everything we ordered (no veggies, no orzo, no biscuits!) and the food was only so-so. Never again.

The service here was the worst service I have ever had! I will never bring anyone here again. We were seated promptly and that was about the only thing that went right. I ordered the lobster lovers and my girlfriend ordered the salmon orleans. We ordered mussels as our appetizer. We were told that both dishes came with salad. She only brought out my salad. My date never received hers. Our server then disappeared. We were stuck listening to the bartenders talking about patrons and who will tip and who won't. One of the bartenders talked about coming into the restaurant high on her off night. How they don't like customers that come in 5 min before they close. Next thing you know, our entrees we're out. I asked the server what happened to our mussels- she said I'll be right back but I told her never mind, since they were an appetizer and our entrees were already here. She then left, came back to tell me that the mussels just came up and do I want them...I said no. After we're we're done I requested the bill and the server came back and gave the bill to my girlfriend!!! - after about 15 min!! Really? And the mussels were still on the bill!! I would normally pay with my card but not at this shady place. I'm not giving my card to my server! We paid with cash and got out of there. I tipped about 8% because I don't believe in leaving a zero tip. But this was awful. Absolutely awful. I will never come to this particular Red Lobster again. The bartenders talking loudly about patrons??? Very unprofessional. read more

Red Lobster - Here's the receipt. - Seafood Near Me - Waterford, Michigan

I've been going to Red Lobster since the 80's. I almost always have a great experience. Twice I've been disappointed but this was not one. The Coconut shrimp I always get was excellent and the shrimp linguine was very tasty. Now as Alfredo goes it seemed more like a Mac and cheese kind of cheese, very good I'm not complaining but it's not Alfredo JS. All in all biscuits, salad everything was fresh, fast and the waitstaff did their jobs read more

Red Lobster - Shrimp Linguini Alfredo Parrot Isle Jumbo Coconut Shrimp - Seafood Near Me - Waterford, Michigan

The service at this location is great; the hostess and the waitress was very friendly. The bathroom was very clean and wheelchair accessible. They sat us at the end table in the bar; part booth and part table. It was all you can eat shrimp and I think everyone in the entire building was eating it. I decided to get it and it was great. They bring you 2 options to start and then you can choose between 6 items on a list. It was so much food I only opted to try one other option. Food was good; drinks were good and service was great. Normally when we go to a Red Lobster it is a horrible experience; like the chain has given up on keeping good employees. That was not our experience at all this time or with this location ever. If you choose to go to one in the area; choose this location. read more

Red Lobster - Seafood Near Me - Waterford, Michigan

It's called the red lobster, but no lobster in the aquarium. They might be out of the live lobsters for a Monday night. There was no host, so we had to seat and wait for a few minutes. Lee was our server. She was very friendly, and kept on feeding us with the famous biscuits. That I didn't mind. For dinner, we ordered the crab cake with salmon $24++ with mashed potato, broccoli and vegetable salad. The hollandaise sauce overpowered the taste of the salmon. For the Crab cake, you can it as is, or you may season it with salt, lemon or with the rest of the hollandaise sauce. Then, we had the 4-course feast with Caesar salad, clam chowder, shrimp linguini Alfredo and triple chocolate brownie a la mode for dessert $16++ Loved the rich creamy pasta. Food tasted ok. Dinner for two cost us $50 with tip. Pricey, without drinks. On a Monday night, a lot of parking spot available. Of all the red lobster restaurants, this is our favorite location. read more

Fool me once shame on me. I've ordered from you twice and both times you gave my shrimp in the shell. It'd be one thing if I'd just ordered shrimp, but it's a creamy pasta that I can choose to throw away or individually separate all the shrimp, de shell them and put them back or eat around the shrimp while getting mad about it. I think I'll just eat the noodles around it and never order from you again. read more

Today 3/31/24 Easter Sunday my son and I decided that this is where we wanted to go as we have not been in a very long time and we wanted some seafood. I just want to say that our server SHELLYE WAS THE BEST !!! Her attention and professional service was over the top. She was courteous, personable and made sure everything was perfect for our dinner, and it was amazing! I had to give SHELLYE a quick hug before we left because she was so personable , Bubbly and just down right good. I am one to never complain because I know the food industry is tuff work and people can be rude, but I will reach out when some one stands out. Shelly is the best ! read more

Main cuisine, sea scam. The worst item you could get on their menu is the fish and chips, it comes with a game of scavenger hunt for your fish as you're served a battered boot. Felt sick to the stomach and didn't even find my fish in the end, 0/10. read more

Red Lobster - An abomination to the fish that died for this. - Seafood Near Me - Waterford, Michigan

Seated immediately upon arrival. 15 mins later server arrives. I showed her 2 emails, one with a meal special, one with my birthday cake. We ordered drinks, food, and dessert. I told her to put my drink on a separate bill. Half an hour and a basket of biscuits later the food comes. I asked for more biscuits. 20 mins later she comes back to ask if everything is ok. I said yes except I never got the biscuits. She said she'd bring them but I declined as we were through. 20 mins later she brings biscuits and just from the refrigerator cold chocolate cake and sauce. She comes back, she needs the code to take the cake off the bill. There was no code in the email. She brings a pad to the table, asks for my phone number. I told her Red Lobster does not have my cell phone number, my account is under my email. I will give her the benefit of the doubt that she conveyed this to the manager when she got her. The manager proceeded to insult the intelligence of both her server and me by repeating the actions we already did and expecting a different result.Meanwhile, I remembered I have the Red Lobster app, opened it and got the code she needed. She brought one bill. The only reason the server got a tip is because my husband paid, I would not have tipped tonight. I always tip. 35 mins after we finished our meal we finally we through and able to leave. It was also very cold in the restaurant, I had on a hoodie and coat and was still cold. read more

I just ordered lunch for me and some co workers and the food was perfect!! I had the sirloin with broccoli and salad. The steak was cooked to perfection and they even put steak sauce in there and I didn't even ask for it. Yay!!

Took advantage of the holiday gift card special in December. Kind of disappointed that I had to spend $30 for 5 months to get the $ 50 free ($10 each month). They do have great Coconut shrimp with yummy sauce. Their rewards club is beneficial too! read more

Food was over cooked and I never receding refund they promised me. Definitely won't be going back

I'm not sure where to begin ... I can for sure say I'll never return to this red looser ever ever again. Serf N turf is by far my favorite with filet mignon mid rare more rare .... and it's completely well done the lobster tail was like rubber and my appetizer that came 30 seconds before our dinner and need up being my Boyfriends dinner since his steak was so over cooked it was burnt and we were not about to wait 30 more min for his meal and this is the 3rd time we have been her with the same service and food turn out I can't blame the waiter I blame lack of training and expectations. Management did Comp one steak and our appetizer, even if the whole bill was covered I'd still not go back . read more

The bread was excellent as always . Their new meal specials are well worth the $16.95. I had coconut shrimp, a baked potato and a garden salad for my side. It was great. It was a Sunday when first opened so slow start. The server was pleasant and attentive. I would return to this location. Wasn't real loud so was able to converse with my lunch guest. Very clean also. I would give it 5 stars read more

Terrible, food was cold, line out the door, waited long time for our food, people came in after us were eating before us and also ordered a take out and they screwed that up too. The manager needs to manage and plan for a busy valantines day. read more

Wahwahhhhh.... Terrible. My ex and I came here a couple of years ago, we were seated immediately, waited for about 10 minutes while servers milled around the nearly empty restaurant ignoring us, before we got up and left. Then, last night I decide to grab a bit to eat on my way home from work. I sit in my car and ordered to go, I submitted my order at 8:33 and it tells me my order will be ready at 8:48. So I sit in the car, listening to the radio and walk inside at 8:50. I'm told to go to the bar for pickup.... I walk to the bar and stand there for close to ten minutes before either bartender acknowledges my existence, even though they've both made eye contact with me twice. The third time the female glances up (because I'm legit staring at her) I say, "I'm just trying to pick up my food." As she's finishing making the drink she's making (still only BARELY acknowledging that I'm standing there) she drops an entire bottle of tequila, gets a broom and a mop, runs my card and then disappears. Leaving only the male bartender. At 9:15 I've noticed the couple sitting at the bar quietly complaining to each other, another couple looking quite flustered over their ordering experience and another gentleman, who smelled like a dispensary, quietly waiting for his food. At about 9:25 I ask a server about the status of my order, as it's been about an hour. His response was, "Well ma'am, you could expect to wait about 20 minutes for that type of order." To which I replied, "Well it's been an hour and I didn't tell you what I ordered." The response he gave me before he walked away was, "Well it should take about 30 minutes before your food is ready." So which is it? Because 15 seconds ago, it was 20 minutes for specific orders... now it's 30 minutes regardless of what is ordered. read more

We came in September had the endless shrimp was awesome our waitress we had that day was fabulous.
