During my university days, Red Lobster people viewed as high-end seafood dining. Lines were always…read morelong. Wait times ranged from 40 minutes to an hour. The food was always worth the long lines and the wait. I remember the consistency in flavour right up through the late 90's, and then it appeared as though Red Lobster tapered off. It was as if the restaurant had suddenly experienced hard times and shut their doors. Fast forward to now, you can walk in and get a seat without waiting. Now I understand. The location in Matteson is close to my home, so I will pop in on occasion when I do not want to cook at home. The restaurant is never fully empty. Unlike days long ago when large parties occupied tables, that would be no problem now. The restaurant can accommodate multiple large parties at any given time. I tend to opt for fish and chips when I go. There are times when I will switch up and order salmon or any stuffed white fish along with vegetable sides. I would not say that the flavour has fallen off. However, there is something missing that I cannot put my finger on. I know that since the late 80's when I went to Red Lobster most, I had not yet broadened my palate, so I think that cooking and eating Caribbean and West African food primarily have wired my palate for a different set of spices that are not in the recipes at Red Lobster. This is not a bad thing, but it is just that my appetite is more satisfied than wowed. Service is always good at this location. That may be the case because the crowds are so thin that the servers do not come to the table agitated when they take my orders. I usually sit in the bar area. However, because the dining area tends to be mostly empty, the bar area closes so that diners can fill up the seats in the main dining area if possible. Red Lobster may be a cautionary tale of all good things eventually ending. This one in Matteson is holding on, though.

The food at Stoney Point Grill in Homewood was honestly disappointing, and the menu was not what I…read moreexpected at all. For the pricing, I expected much better flavor, quality, and overall creativity. The shareables were overpriced, the drinks were mid-level at best, and nothing really stood out enough to justify the cost. The space itself is nice and works well as a social spot or sports bar atmosphere where you can sit, talk, watch games, and enjoy company. That part of the experience was probably the highlight. However, the service was also lacking because the restaurant seemed noticeably short-staffed. It took a long time to receive attention and proper service throughout the visit, which added to the frustration. Overall, the location and atmosphere have potential, but the menu, food quality, drink execution, pricing, and staffing experience need major improvement to match the type of establishment they appear to be aiming for.

There was no wait, so I was seated right away while I waited for the rest of my group. Our waitress was very nice and attentive, and she did a great job explaining the specials. Drinks: We ordered the giant margarita flight, which was on special for around $125, and we actually ended up getting TWO! For a group of seven, I thought it was well worth it. The drinks were fun, definitely made for sharing, and added to the whole experience. Cajun Fried Shrimp: This was my favorite thing I ordered. The shrimp were crispy, flavorful, and that sauce was GOOD. I honestly should have just stuck with the appetizer because I would absolutely order these again. Cajun Seafood Pasta: This one was just okay for me. It had plenty of seafood and a generous portion, but it also had cauliflower, broccoli, and carrots, which I personally don't like. Had I realized how much they would affect the dish for me, I would've asked to have them removed. My other issue was that the shrimp in the pasta still had the tails on. With an appetizer like the fried shrimp, that's no problem, but in pasta it made eating the dish more work than it needed to be. I kept having to stop and remove shrimp tails while trying to eat my pasta. I probably wouldn't order this particular dish again. Atmosphere: This is definitely a place to come when you want music, drinks, food, and a GOOD TIME. The music creates a lively atmosphere, so I wouldn't necessarily choose it for a quiet dinner where you're trying to have deep conversations. But for a celebration, girls' night, coworkers getting together, or just going out to have fun? Absolutely. Service was good throughout our visit, parking was easy, and our group had a great time together. Overall: 4/5 I'd definitely return, but next time I'm getting those Cajun Fried Shrimp again and exploring something different for my entrée!
