Wild-Caught Crunch-Fried Flounder
Amalex B.

I don't eat red lobster much funny enough but the company I work for I was paying for Easter. Very good. Flounder, good service. I called in and took a little longer than expected but nothing over dramatic maybe 5 or 10 minutes worth the weight would definitely stop here again!

Shrimp and broccoli. You can't go wrong with that!

Mom had just picked me up from the airport, and we decided to go to her favorite place. She absolutely LOVES Red Lobster. It was blazing outside, so it was good to get into some air conditioning. But it was SO DARK inside. My Mom sometimes has a hard time seeing, and even I was wondering WHY the place was so dark. I don't know. We sat and waited awhile to be seated. While waiting, I used the ladies room. It had a smell to it. I couldn't put my finger on it, but I'd say something like a sewer smell. I was hoping I would clear my nostrils before eating. We didn't wait long before being seated. There were a few of us waiting, but once seated the restaurant actually seemed empty. The food made up for it. Of course I couldn't wait to bite into the famous Red Lobster biscuits. They were good as always. Flaky on the outside, moist on the inside, with lots of flavor. I ordered the calamari for an appetizer and a double dose of shrimp w/broccoli. I got the garlic shrimp and crispy shrimp poppers. I like my broccoli crunchy (not mushy), and they didn't disappoint. Our server was very cordial and attentive. The garlic shrimp was good too. I washed it all down with the Lagunitas IPA (they were out of the Hazy IPA I had my eye on). Mom got shrimp as well. But that's nothing new. She got the creamy fettuccini shrimp, garlic shrimp, and crispy fried shrimp with broccoli. She loves their shrimp. We were both stuffed.

We have our holiday party here every year and they take the best care of us. We get plenty of drinks (albeit they don't taste alcoholic). The shrimp is delicious, the crab and lobster was okay but what can we expect in NM. Overall, it's always a good experience at this Red Lobster location... just about as good as their cheddar bay biscuits always are!

Was craving seafood and wanted something fancy as well but homey and decided on red lobster. We ordered the lobster pizza and it was saltier than I thought it would be. The crispy dragon shrimp is a new fav in the menu and it's a must try for those that love spicy food and want a little kick entree. The lobster tail was perfectly cooked and so was the steak. All in all it was a descent experience. Will be returning for the crispy dragon shrimp. Service was okay and the wiring was a few minutes but nothing excessive.

My salmon was so drenched in butter I didn't realize it wasn't even cooked all the way.

My boyfriend and I came here on a Friday evening to a not too busy dining area. My salmon was undercooked and gelatinous in the center, though it was so absolutely slathered in butter it took me a while to realize it wasn't cooked all the way through. My boyfriend ordered crab legs but they didn't provide the cracking tool when they presented our food. Only until he struggled enough to have to ask for one, the waiter took his time bringing it to him. I had also asked for plain steamed broccoli and again it was drenched in the aforementioned glistening, salty butter. I guess I shouldn't be so picky considering it's a Red Lobster in New Mexico. Truly a night to remember!

7oz sirloin with lobster tail, lemon and semi clarified butter
Liz A.

So I went here for a celebration dinner. Looked online and found out that they have daily specials. The one on Wednesday just happen to be lobster tail and 7 oz sirloin steak for $25.00. Just what I wanted! I get there before 5:00 and it's not busy...little early for the dinner rush & it was mid week. Went in got greeted and asked about bar seating and was told there's availability and to go around the corner and seat myself. Got seated and looked at the menu for a few minutes and was greeted by a nice bartender who got my drink order and food order right away, and was attentive, friendly. Food didn't take long to come out. I wished I would of asked to hold the main course til I finished my salad, as it came out before I was done with it. Also the salad dressing was on the bottom of the salad and I should of asked for it on the side as it was too much dressing for me. When the steak and lobster tail came out, I did get asked to cut into the steak to make sure it was done the way I asked it to be cooked, which it was med rare, taste was good, the lobster tasted a little gritty, not sure why that was. The overall plate display was pretty plain. Just the tail, steak and clarified butter (which was not all clarified) with a slice of lemon, no parsley or anything to show a nice food presentation. Ok, I get it...not a 5 star restaurant but, one of the Red Lobsters that didn't close, so have pride and show some appreciation for the food and the customers that are coming in to support to keep you open. I also ordered a drink, a Sunset piña colada. It was delicious, price seemed a little high for what it was but, I was out celebrating so I was willing to pay it. Overall, it was good for what I needed but, feel they could improve on few things. Setting was nice, bathroom was clean, lighting and noise level was good.

100th birthday celebration, Red Lobster in Albuquerque.
Antonia C.

Red Lobster is my mom's favorite restaurant. Today was her 100th birthday and of course that's where we celebrated.There were 17 of us and the food and service were stellar. We did have reservations and I explained the situation so they could be prepared. We were given a private room that was pleasant and quiet, which was nice because Mom and several of her friends are hard of hearing. The manager offered to put the cake in the refrigerator and our waitress, Danielle, brought it out when we needed it. She took such good care of us. All in all, a lovely experience.

Cheddar fricking biscuits.
Jean C.

The MAIN reason for my 5 stars is for Nick. We sat at the bar and man he was great. Attentive. Professional. Funny. The calamari and clams were cooked well. Side salad was a small upcharge but it was fresh. We got the shrimp scampi, fried shrimp and fish platter. Again. Everything was yummy. I got my free birthday dessert to go because we were so full. Nick bagged up some cheddar biscuits for us too. I'm not a big fan of chain seafood restaurants but our lunch was really great. With tip it was $50 for two people with leftovers.

My wife and I took my mother to this Red Lobster for dinner for her birthday on Tuesday, December 7, 2021. This location is near Montgomery and San Mateo. We had the seafood stuffed mushrooms as an appetizer ($9.99). There were six mushrooms, so we had 2 each and they were stuffed with Monterrey jack cheese and lots of stuffing. My wife and I had the Tuesday special, which was 2 Mariner Feasts for $41. These are usually $25.99 each and include: Atlantic salmon topped with creamy langostino and Norway lobster sauce, grilled sea scallops, Walt's favorite fried shrimp and 2 sides. My wife ordered a baked potato with the works as her side and I got a creamy langostino and Norway lobster sauce topped baked potato. My wife ordered a bowl of the clam chowder ($5.99). My mother had the half-grilled rainbow trout ($17.99) after finding out the bowl she originally ordered had sold out. Darrold, our waiter, treated my mother super nice after discovering it was her birthday. He brought us 2 free cups of clam chowder, gave her the other half of her trout for free and then at the end of the meal provided two free bowls of ice cream. All the food tasted great, and the service deserved five stars. My only complaints were a pretty dry baked potato (even with the sauce they put on top) and the cheesy biscuits weren't as good as I remembered. These were minor set-backs to an epic birthday meal thanks to Darrold. His great service with a smile really made my mother's birthday special. Thank you Darrold, we'll be back for sure. Sorry, no pictures of the food.

Luckily, we made reservations for our Christmas Day Dinner while in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Lots of people had the exact same plan, and the restaurant couldn't accommodate everyone. We had a short wait, and then we had a fabulous Christmas dinner with Steak, Shrimp and Calamari. Our server was Trevin, who did a great job considering how busy the restaurant was. Our food was delicious, and we had an amazing time. Thank you for being open on Christmas Day, Red Lobster

Two for - Tuesday
Kio C.

I came here for the 2 for 2 Tuesday for 2 lobsters, salmon and shrimp for $59.99. This is my second time at Red Lobster and while I didn't expect the food to be great, it was just ok. Nothing really felt fresh. I wish they had advertised the lobster as lobster tail only as I thought it was a whole lobster. Seasoning on the lobster was meh. Salmon tasted like frozen salmon as did the shrimp skewer. The cheesy biscuits were also not that great. Wish the steak fries were crispier. Overall would not be back for this price and quality.

This place is a cute, little oyster bar located inside of the former Yanni's bar. I came here with…read morea friend and his family for a birthday dinner. Unfortunately, they didn't ask us if we had a special occasion we were celebrating, but overall the service was great. The ambiance was pretty nice and there is a back patio that has a few tables. They have a large array of oysters from the east coast and west coast. The oysters and the way they served and prepared were good. They do have raw clams also which I thought strange, but I'm probably just not fancy enough. We ordered a few appetizers including green chili hush puppies which seemed to need a little more Smokey green chili flavor and they were a bit dry. The lobster deviled eggs are sort of tart and flavorless and I didn't get any lobster on mine. My friend said the lobster rolls were good, and I had a salmon special that was out of this world delicious and cooked to perfection!! The red curry mussels were also outstanding!! Could use a bit more spice and salt, but really good. One of the kiddos didn't want raw food, but he also couldn't find much on the menu for kids. They were out of what he ordered and when they finally did get his order, his food came out about 15 minutes after the rest of the table. They did comp out appetizers so that was nice, but in my opinion they should have comped his meal since they didn't have what he wanted and then served him so much later. Their alcoholic fancy beverages were great. I had a glass of wine that was good. I would suggest offering more wines and meals from the adjacent wine bar and restaurant to Lure as well. They have a few kinks to work out, but I think they are on the right track. There is no phone so it's very difficult to make a reservation. I recommend visiting this place and trying some of their food during off hours. I'm not sure I'd recommend their appetizers yet, but with a few tweaks they will improve. Cheers!

This place was absolutely amazing. It's a true gem for a desert like Albuquerque. I ordered a…read morelore platter which consisted of oysters, prawns, tartar, and mussels. The taste was superb. I ordered a Michelada cocktail, which was equally delicious. The lobster deviled eggs were fantastic. My wife isn't really a seafood fan so she ordered a green chile smash burger. She enjoyed hers greatly as well. Our server was very attentive and eager to ensure we had a great meal experience. Will definitely go back. The only needs improvement I see is I would've liked to have had a bloody Mary and that wasn't one of the listed items on the cocktail menu.
