Wow! This location is head and shoulders above the Plymouth Rd location! Not very busy when we arrived at 6:25 PM. Two workers at the hostess stand greeted us and we were promptly seated. Within 30 seconds of being seated Chris arrived with waters, warm biscuits and menus. We had heard about an unadvertised Tuesday-only special for crab legs. SWMBO ordered that w/loaded baked potato and a margarita. I opt'd for the AYCE shrimp special and margarita. Chris returned with our margaritas, more biscuits and refilled my water without asking. The food arrived after an appropriate wait. My wife loved the crab legs. I liked the garlic (parm?) shrimp and fried shrimp ... I did not care for the shrimp linguine alfredo. Chris was attentive, knowledgeable and helpful without being obsequious. The dining room was spotless, well lighted and I did not notice any damaged upholstery. Will I return? To this location? Yes! read more

I got helped by Brandon. HE WAS AMAZING, so nice and really funny 10/10 the reason I would come back

This Red Lobster has been iffy in the past, but tonight's visit was outstanding! Amazing service, delicious food and a very relaxed quiet bar area (where we sat). Everything was so tasty from the cheddar bay biscuits to the coconut shrimp. The prices were extremely reasonable as well, for the amount of food you get. We will definitely be back! read more

I haven't been to Red Lobster in years, and to be honest, it was never really my thing--even though I love seafood, especially lobster. I always found the quality to be lacking. However, after reading a lot about their new CEO and the improvements he was making, I decided to give it another shot. Lobster rolls are one of my favorite foods, so despite the steep price--$30 for takeout and $38 through Uber Eats--I was willing to try it. Big mistake. It was absolutely horrendous. No exaggeration, this was the worst lobster roll I have ever had. When I googled it, they claimed it was made with Maine lobster, but what I actually got was frozen spiny lagostino. Lagostino is NOT lobster, its cheap shrimp. The taste and texture were awful, and it was so bad that I couldn't even finish it. For that price, they should have used fresh Maine lobster--especially since they literally keep them in tanks for other dishes. This experience was beyond disappointing, and I can confidently say I will never eat at Red Lobster again. read more

Red Lobster - Horrible Lobster Roll - Seafood Near Me - Westland, Michigan

we hadn't been here in a while and we're in the mood for tilapia so we thought this would be the place to go. Unfortunately, they did not have tilapia and their selection of fish was pretty disappointing mostly just salmon. They have a lot of of shellfish which I am a fan of, but not my husband although their prices have significantly increased. I would come back on a Tuesday for their crab leg deal, but don't think I will be coming often. Our waiter was nice. I did not like the shrimp Alfredo. The Alfredo sauce was very thick. read more

I stopped coming here for a long time because the manager is always very rude and just always had an attitude but the last couple times my waitress has been nothing less than amazing. Her name is Jackie. She is a black woman. I'm not sure what her last name is, but she always goes above and beyond to make sure we're taken care of and make us feel welcome. She is definitely a people person and I am so very impressed with who you hired. I could say so much about this woman. I'm not an easy person to deal with when it comes to eating out and she made me feel so comfortable. I never felt like I was running her too much. She has more patience than I can dream of for a waitress. I will be coming back and asking for her every time. Thank you so much red lobster for having the best waitress I've ever met in my life. She definitely deserves some recognition. I will continue my visits at least once a week. Thank you again. read more

Waitress Layla was amazing. Food was tasty. Steak was cooked to order. Lobster was delicious. Beer was cold. Lobsters in the tank were snoozin'. Restaurant was clean. Staff were friendly and atmosphere was pleasant. We will be back. read more

Been going to Westland Mi red lobster as long as I can remember. Never had a bad meal. Things have changed. Pick 2 or 3 is no longer on the menu. Meals no longer come with a choice of soup or salid. Walts shrimp now come with just 10 shrimp instead of 12. Total bill was $58.72 for 2 (no adult drinks). Can't see going back as it's no longer a good value for me. read more

Overpriced. Rude staff. Long waits. If it wasn't for the cheddar biscuits I would never come

This review is for the shrimp fest. Started with the cheese/buttery biscuits. They are so good it was difficult to limit ourselves to just one so we would have more room for shrimp. There were shrimp prepared six different ways. Consensus was that the coconut shrimp was the best. Its lightly breaded with coconut flakes and comes with a coconut dip. My pet peeve manifested itself when I saw the busboy wipe a table top and then using the same cloth wipe the seat cushion. read more

The fucking food was terrible the crab legs no meat wasted $79 or 2 pounds of no meat so there's my review don't ever go to red lobster it was pathetic read more

Today my husband placed an order over the phone for some cheddar Bay biscuits, we waited 20 minutes for them to be ready and they came out cold like they had just been sitting there. I am extremely extremely disappointed in my experience at this red lobster. Maybe they can improve next time. read more

We are in the downside of Covid and wanted some good food now that we are negative. We have always liked Red Lobster, but the last time we ate there we had a not so positive experience. It was well before the pandemic started, so because the Fiancé wanted Lobster, we chose to give it a try again, albeit curbside pickup. We looked over the menu, and notice quite a few pleasant changes. Everything was done on time, and looked pretty good without opening the tubs, I chose the wagyu burger, ordered medium, she got the harborside feast. Most items were good, but the 2 we wanted to be great, the most expensive, were not. My burger was cooked medium well, extremely dry and charred on the edge, and her lobster was absolutely charred through the bottom, something you could not tell looking at the tail from the split top side. It looked really good. Unfortunately, this again had cast a doubt on wether we will ever give this establishment another go around. I gave 2 stars for the cheddar bay biscuits, her shrimp skewer and scampi, the timeliness of the order being ready and the very nice team member who brought out our food. She was very polite. read more

The service is excellent the food and drinks are delicious, and the atmosphere is very comfortable will return with friends.

My 9 friends and I went to Red Lobster in Westland, Mi on October 2, 2024. Each of us had a scrumptious meal. I ordered the Wednesday special Maine Lobster and Sirloin Steak. The steak was cooked and seasoned perfectly.The Maine Lobster was delicious. My baked potato was perfectly cooked. The other ladies really enjoyed their meals also. They ordered Shrimp Scampi, Walt's Scrimp, Salads and a few other items. Our waitress Katherine J was so attentive. She kept the Cheddar Bay Bisque coming, refilled our drinks many times, she got all the orders correct. She was so nice about taking our picture together. If you go to eat there and she is working ask for her table. I even told the Manager how much we all enjoyed our lunch and Katherine was a great waitress. read more

Not sure what this review will accomplish: this place has a wait for a table almost every night of the week. This review is a combination of a visit from last week, and a visit from 3-4 months ago. The wait time estimate was off. They estimated 25 minutes and it was more like 35 minutes. It's Red Lobster food - always pretty good, a bit overpriced. I love the biscuits, the shrimp scampi was a bit overcooked, the lobster tail was fantastic. I like the Caesar salad and the clam chowder. The seafood pasta was a bit lighter on seafood than I would have expected at the price point. We ordered chicken tenders and didn't specify and we got the grilled instead of the breaded and fried ones. Which would normally be okay, but my 5 year old wouldn't eat them. Would have been nice if they'd asked. Service was good. Frequent water refills, took our order quickly, and very engaging with us and the kids. They seated us with children in the bar area and I definitely noticed some other tables giving us the stink eye when our kids were being a bit loud or boisterous, as 3 and 5 years old tend to be in restaurants from time to time, despite by best shushing efforts. I've gotten sick to my stomach the last two times I ate there. By the time I got home from the restaurant. I think it's maybe the butter in the cheddar bay biscuits, or something in the Caesar salad, because I had different entrees (salmon/lobster combo one time, shrimp the other). read more

I'm not one to give bad review but today was the worst service i've ever had , the food took more than an hour to come out and when it did come out it was totally wrong they gave somet we didn't. even order at all . I am very considerate towards new servers but our server was beyond bad so i didn't want to make her day worse than it already was so i just packed the food we got to go . sorry to say i won't ever be going back to this location again . read more

Everything was delicious and food presentation was very nice. Sam was our server, he was very friendly and made our visit very special. Also Kim was the General Manager, she made sure to bring out the second piece of fish because the first didn't look perfect. I would recommend this location. Thank you for the delicious dinner's. read more

The customer service was really good. But the food wasn't, the biscuits were kinda dry and the mashed potatoes didn't have flavor

We only had a 15 min wait time which was really nice. We had a wonderful waitress who was very friendly and attentive to us. We ordered New England lobster bake and my husband ordered lobster and steak. The sauce for each one was amazing and the lobster tails were cooked wonderful and so was the blue crab legs. The muscles tasted so good, done perfectly. The corn tasted really good too the seasoning on the corn was really good. It was the best meal we have had there in a long time. Definitely worth every penny spent. read more

It had been about 14 years since my last visit to Red Lobster and I said then I was done. At the requests of my grandsons we scheduled Christmas Eve dinner but couldn't go because we were all sick. We went last week. If I live another 14 years I will not be back. I rolled in the front door (in wheelchair) with grandsons and husband. "Hi, how you doin" the hostess asked without even looking at us and then she turned around to chat and chuckle with the group of waitresses around her. After what was probably only a minute but seemed quite longer I finally asked, "Are we disturbing?" At this she asked how many - we were clearly four. We were seated nearly in the back near the exit door passing all of the empty booths. I asked if we could have something closer. "Oh no, you need a table", was her reply as she kept walking. (I can get it n and out of a booth - I just cannot walk) We were seated at a 6 top. My husband and I each just ordered the fish and chips. No comment. The little grandson had popcorn shrimp and ate it all - it had the same greasy look as the fish. Older grandson had the fried green beans app, the coconut shrimp and a side of crab legs. He liked the beans, took one bite of the shrimp and could not crack the crab because the shells were rubbery. Truthfully, the reason they hit the list 14 yrs ago was everything tasted as though I was pre-cooked, off a steam table or deep fried. At least the biscuits were good then. This week they were no longer. They have a frozen and microwaved taste and texture. On a good note, our waitress was nice. read more

Today I had a taste for crab legs so I placed an order...and for $30 bucks I got crab leg clusters with missing legs, a spoonful of dry mashed potatoes and a Cesar salad with iceberg lettuce and not Romain...Red Lobster should be ashamed for giving someone a meal like this...I'm giving two stars for the biscuits and honestly they're starting to lose their quality. Thanks for ruining my weekend! read more

I walked up to the bar to place my order for my free birthday dessert, then 3 other people walked up and sat down, the waitress did not acknowledge me and proceeded to help these 3 people, getting their drinks, they all ordered 2 drinks each, then she yells over her shoulder at me, saying what can get you, I told her I was there for my free birthday dessert, she goes over to where they assist the waitress and waiters and says I'll be with you a minute and starts filling more drinks then a waitress walks up she said can you go order her birthday dessert, now it's been close to 20 minutes that I'm waiting and my dessert is ready she sets it on the bar, says have a good day and walks away! This waitress was very unprofessional towards me and made me feel like I wasn't as important as the guest that were not getting a free order for their birthday, so rude!! read more

It's been several years since we came to this location because of the slow service and now it's extremely super slow. I'm only giving them one star and that's only due to the fact that I'm writing this review. We wanted to support our local restaurants and this right here just doesn't make any sense to me. I truly understand that restaurants are opening with curbside and deliveries only. When you have a parking lot full of people waiting for orders that they can only do online, especially on Mother's Day. staffing shouldn't be an issue, my husband placed our online order at 5pm for a 6pm pickup, we paid and he waited until 5:50 to go get our order. Well, he's met with a parking lot full of people waiting and a long line of people waiting to get in to pick up their orders, he goes up and ask someone what time they placed their order, and a gentleman says he placed his order at 2 pm for a 3:45 pm pick up, well guess what it's now 6 pm, so my husband comes back home and we call and they say, they're running 2 hours behind. He goes back up there at 8:20 and still no order, it's now 9:10 pm and he's still up there waiting for our dinner order.! Looks like there should have been a cut off on online orders especially if they do not have that adequate amount of staff to serve their customers, especially on a day like today, it's Mother's Day, that's a National Holiday. I can't even imagine how many people didn't get to eat their dinner! I know I'm not, it's way too late, it will be my tomorrow's dinner. read more

food was not too bad, however, Don was an extremely unprofessional server. Party of 8 arrived around 2:30 and it had been 3 hours... service is only slow for our party... multiple parties have come in and out... food got put in late and now he need to be reminded of our meals so he can split the bills properly.... completely unprofessional and needs to be addressed IMMEDIATELY! I probably won't be back due to this completely irresponsible server... this was NOT an enjoyable experience for my family. read more

I have been a loyal customer of this Red Lobster location for 20+ years, and am going to continue being one. That having been said, the quality of their cooking has declined of late. Weeks ago in the restaurant their fish (and chips) was over cooked and dry. Today was the second time when recently ordering it, the shrimp in their linguine Alfredo was undercooked. Bad enough that if you order it to go that it does not come with any sides. Because it was to go, I couldn't send it back to have it remade, (Plus, It's the same price in the restaurant and comes a choice of two sides). Disappointed! read more

Sunday family lunch when MIL takes you out and she picks the restaurant that she thinks you'd like.? That's when it goes down. LOL The service could be improved way better. The place is a bit dodgy and could use a make over! We all got sailors platter and food was not good at all. We were in a rush so we didn't bother flagging our waitress down. I don't think I'd wanna return here again. read more

Cannot emphasize how dissatisfied we were today! They served a child's meal with raw food I wasn't sure if she was overreacting so I tried it, and really wished I didn't! Poor kid was almost poisoned Please for the love of god train your staff how to correctly check if seafoods cooked especially on child's plate or go flip burgers! On top of that for my first time, nobody was very pleased w their meals! Biscuits were the only descent part of the meal! Even 1/2 my salad was wilted.... read more

Brought my mother here for her birthday dinner. I used to be a huge fan of red lobster, but just not that into it anymore. My mother's rice was cold. Her asparagus may have been as well. My coconut shrimp was soooo dry. But the scampi was delicious. Our waitress was Geri, she was a gem! Very attentive and thorough. She made the visit a lot better. The cheddar biscuits will always remain undefeated. I feel like it's Red Lobster, you pretty much know what you're in for. read more

My partner and I are both Red Lobster fanatics (we are platinum reward members) and come here all the time, but last night the food was the best we've ever had it! To start, the biscuits were soooo fresh and our server gave us 6 instead of the usual 4, and even brought out extra when we finished them. We had the mussels as an appetizer and the sauce was so good I could've drank it off the plate. The bread that came with it was grilled and tasted so good dipped in the sauce. I planned on getting the salmon Caesar salad, but it was crabfest so I had to get that of course! My snow crab legs were so big that they were actually queen crab. Lots of meat and it easily came out of the shell. The potatoes it came with were cooked perfectly too. The only thing was my broccoli was practically raw, so I took it home and cooked it further as leftovers. My partner always gets the lobster pasta and it was delicious as always she said. Overall everything was great. read more

Received carry out and it was outstanding! I had the coconut shrimp, baked potato, and salad

i went here on saturday night! the waitress AMANDA (heavier set & short reddish hair) was extremely rude, had a attitude the whole time! i called tuesday afternoon to report it and the manager tells me "she's still training she's not even serving" ..... like how are you gonna tell me she didn't serve me. whole staff is rude, arrogant and liars trying to cover their own asses. expect rude & disrespectful behavior when coming here! read more

I've been dining at this Red Lobster for years and it dawned on me that I never reviewed it. Well here goes...I have no complaints about the service or the food. I prefer this location over the many others in the greater metropolitan Detroit area. I decided to go for Lobster Fest yesterday (2/10/2019). I had more than enough. I ate what I could and brought the rest home. My lobster tails were delicious. My meal also came with shrimp and lobster linguine and a baked potato. I probably should have swapped out the potato for some broccoli, but I enjoyed the potato. It was baked perfectly! My waitperson was very attentive. Sadly I don't remember her name. I'll look on the receipt for it and do an update to add it. I see the reviews are not too high for this location, but everybody doesn't necessarily have the same experience. I've always had a good experience each time I've dined here. read more

Went to Red Lobster Friday night (3-18) to celebrate my wife's birthday... We got there at 6 and there was an 1 hr 20 minute wait. Well, we decided to wait as RL is her favorite, and ended up getting a table in 50 minutes. Our server, Brian, was prompt, and quick with drinks and bread. Needless to say, at the end, he was probably the best server we ever had. He kept the bread, drinks and whatever we needed, coming quickly. If everything was like him, it would of been a 5 star night. Unfortunately, the food did not live up to it. My wife got the steak and shrimp, ordered the steak medium and he came out like a shingle. Brian let us gnaw on the steak while he had them cook a new one, so we waited for that approx 10 minutes. My MIL had the haddock and it had quite a fishy taste, more than usual, which upset her stomach, so we sent the entire plate back and she ordered something else which was just "ok". My kids chicken tenders and fries came out fine, of course, the easiest to make. LOL I ordered the from the Lobster Fest menu, and got the Bay harbor Lobster and Shrimp Trio. The shrimp were delicious, but the lobster tail was over cooked and rubbery. The Parmesan lobster and shrimp bake was to die for however. Unfortunately, the Broccoli and Potatoes were so overdone, it tasted like they were cooked early in the day and left at the bottom of the warmer... So, outta 5 stars, my dinner got a 3... The bill came to $70 for the 5 of us, which ain't bad, but I was really hoping for more from this Big Box Seafood place. Like I said, Brian was the main bright-spot of the night, and of course, the Cheddar Bay Biscuits never disappoint... read more

Wow!!! All I have to say for this Red Lobster is "WOWOWOW!" Well, it was our 14th wedding anniversary on Valentines day this year..just last week. We got to Red Lobster a bit later than we had planned and they gave us a "wait time of 45 mins. to an hour". We decided to go home after we'd put our name on the list and put the light on for our Parrot and I had to change my shoes as silly me, or realllllllllllly sill me....had worn my goofiest slippers and never took them off or changed into my nice shoes to go out to eat! I was mortified when we got out of the car and Iooked down at my feet only to see my most comfortable, favorite, warm but really really UGLY slippers on my feet! The worst of it was the black dress pants and beautiful new shirt that I had bought to wear for our Anniversary dinner! LOL... So we used up our 45 minutes and went back and lo' and behold, they called us NEXT! The timing was exactly perfect at 45minutes pronto!! That's not ever happened before, I don't think? That was what started our "anniversary celebration dinner"out on the right foot. The "HOST" was as nice as can be and smiled and said when we came into the restaurant for the 2nd time "You are next on the list to be called !" Next, they took us to a nice area, clean table and we had the most friendly and good natured waitress "Ashley". I always ask for my soda with "light ice" so as not to get all ice and no soda! Besides that it is too watered down with all the extra ice too. She brought it to me just right and I never had to even ask her for a refill as she was right there refilling my soda as I was finishing my last sip, pretty much! I ordered the "King Crab Legs" and my husband got the "Linguini,, crab, shrimp and aspergus pasta". Oh, I almost forgot that we were spoiled in that we got cheesy bread and then got "MORE" cheesy bread! OMGOSH, their cheesy bread is "to die for"!! Mouthwatering and warm with a soft center and gooey with just the right amount of crunch on the outside! Just absolutely delectable! When our food came we were elated and feeling really good about our experience thus far! Ashley brought out the food and both of our meals were nice and hot and mouth-watering! I am disabled and my sweet husband opened my crab legs for me so my hands wouldn't be in as much pain, what a sweetheart I've got! I'm very happy and have been for the past 14 yrs! I was dipping my King cra legs into the butter all melted and yummy. I had to ask for more and Ashley didn't mind one bit. I even asked if I could have "extra french fries instead of salad" and she said "yes, of course, after checking with the boss first. I even had to ask her the difference between the "king crab" and the "snow crab"and she knew just what to say and then told us she was a bit "new" and we would never have known if she hadn't told us ..LOL. We gave her kudos and told her she was doing great! We also asked for the manager to come over to our table. The manager , Bob, Came over to us and gave us a survey number to call or go online because we were so happy, he thought it'd be great to share the good news with others at Red Lobster, I 'm sure. He knelt down at our table and spoke with us for a few minutes at the end of our meal. He told us he was really happy to hear that Ashley was doing so great because it was just about time to give her an extra table and therefore she earned it! We were so happy to help and didnt even know it at first , of course! Well, we went home full and happy..Content that we'd had the best anniversary dinner we could have had. I got online and filled out the survey for that Red Lobster and gave Ashley, the Host, the manager,Bob and the Chef (for the food taste) all "Excellents"!!!!!!!!!!!!! We will definitely go back to that Red Lobster restaurant in Westland, Michigan again. It was the best food and restaurant experience we'd had in such a long time....really!! Talk to you soon, Suzy Q read more
