Today was one of the worst experiences I've had at a Red Lobster. We were seated right away and that was the best thing of the visit. The server came to get out order and one in my party asked for water no ice and the rest ordered drinks as well. When they arrived the water was filled with ice. We next ordered food and one request was no onions. The salad arrive with a great deal of onions. The food arrived after waiting for 50 minutes the food arrived and all the plates were cold. It was clear that they had been waiting for delivery for a long time. The server came to the table a total of four times throughout the meal. I would recommend going elsewhere. read more

The food was delicious but the servers slow. In a semi empty Saturday afternoon it took about 20 minutes for drinks. 35 minutes for an appetizer and about an hour to get food. The folks were nice and the restaurant was clean but service was slow. read more

Ordered a sesame soy salmon bowl with crispy Brussel sprouts. They didn't tell the severer they were out of Brussel sprouts until the dish was ready to be served. Substituted green beans - which were over cooked. Very disappointed. The salmon was good. Husband liked his steak and lobster. Most restaurants offer something - dessert or something if the problem was their fault. But nothing! Just sorry it didn't work out. So problem with kitchen and then management and server for not trying to make it right read more

I was a little leary about coming here on father's day but I do have to say, the hostess staff was awesome. We were sat in 30 minutes and our server was really nice and attentive. The food took a little longer than normal but it was a holiday.all the food was really good. We haven't been here in a while but I'm glad we tried it again. Will definitely come back. read more

Our dinner tonight was yummy!! We were greeted and seated promptly. We haven't been here in a while but we are impressed! Our server, Ian(Zadock) was wonderful! He was professional and very friendly! Our food came out very quick and it was fresh. I ordered the coconut shrimp and they were the perfect amount of flavor and crunch! Side note- They have a super affordable 4 course meal for $16.99! It came with a cedar salad, soup, entree with a side, and a dessert! We will be back. Thank you! read more

I walked in here, place was ok looking, clean. Way too cold though which was a little bit of a turnoff. The waiter was nice but was a little weird when he kept saying that the price of something will be a little bit more like I didn't have enough money to afford an extra $1.30 on green beans. I decided to get the 4 plate feast which had a soup, salad, entree, and dessert. The clam chowder soup was very bland and had no flavor what so ever. The ceaser salad was average. The entree, Cajun linguini alfredo, was ok, nothing special. The chicken was very thin and I could barely taste it from the sauce bombarded on the plate. The ice cream cake dessert was also ok. This place definitely needs to work on their food and appearance. read more

Stopped for lunch. The waitress was attentive although she told me that the linguine for the meal I wanted was considered the "vegetable" - so no sides were offered. I consider noodles a carb. The meals were good, but the clam chowder was a Big Disappointment. It had very little clam and tasted like a canned potato cream soup. Skip the clam chowder. read more

Throughout the month of October I always enjoy using my birthday treats that I am sent by signing up for different clubs online. Somehow I deleted my Red Lobster birthday coupon but luckily this location has an awesome manager! I explained the situation to her and she was happy to oblige and honor it for me! RL appetizers are pretty darn good but when its a free BIRTHDAY appetizer somehow the flava's are that much more intense! One cant go wrong with free!! My duckies and I enjoyed everything from the fresh out of the oven biscuits, Shrimp Nachos appetizer, salad & dinner, we had the sweetest server so kudos to her even though I don't recall her name! Good Job RL for consistently serving good food and having servers with amazing personality! :C) read more

Yes! Good food. I accidentally typed in Red, and meant to get Red Robin. Typo. Thank you

small lobsters, food on time but delivered slowly ; my husband was made to wait an extra 15-20 minutes to receive it; lukewarm at best upon arrival. read more

Don't let the pictures and advertisements fool you- 1. Cokes tasted " funny" like dish water 2. Tried the lobster and waffles- HUGE mistake. They don't look like the advertisement and tasted horrible. The waitress acknowledged the coke issue and stated "this has been happening for awhile." Over priced for the selection and value of the food. Mostly disappointed because i wanted my little grandma to enjoy it. read more

I ordered the fish and chips dinner. The coleslaw came with the meal and the corner of a plastic bag. I asked for the manager who came over and just laughed it off. I am not one who looks for my meal to be comped or discounted because of human error, I feel they would like to know so the employees will be careful in the future. This manager didn't even say "I'm so sorry that this happened." He did offer to bring me out a new bowl of coleslaw which I declined. The waiter was inattentive to our table and when our friends paid in cash and a good tip he didn't say thank you, he just left. This was the first time we had visited a Red Lobster in twenty years and will be the last. A little courtesy and manners could have gone a long way. My cod fish was also tough. We will not be returning. read more

delicious food, our server made it an awesome experience. Natalia was sweetheart and took great care of us !

Haven't been to Red Lobster in a long time, and just went for a family dinner. I must say the service is great, our server David did a excellent job waiting for us. He checked up on us a fair amount, and we didn't need to ask for refills as he already had one coming our way. The only bad thing was the food, nearly everything I had was bland, there was barely any seasoning on anything. My calamari was not seasoned at all the only thing I tasted was the oil they were fried in. Then my 30 dollar entree was the worst, my fries had no salt or seasoning of any kind, the Alfredo noodles looked like there was no sauce at all, and when I did eat some it tasted like water with a hint of cheese, my fried shrimp were gross and I couldn't even finish one for how much oil was leaking off them, the only good option I liked was my small steak. read more

Memories of a Christmas Eve lunch: lobster pizza for me, a bowl of clam chowder, some popcorn shrimp, and some warm cheddar bay biscuits on a cold December day read more

Dined here for lunch today. Giving it 4 stars because our food was not that good but our server Maribel was very attentive and always came to check on how we were doing. Dined for lunch, had the lunch specials. I had the grilled tilapia tacos with rice pilaf. They were a little on the dry side. Wishing they gave more sauce with my tacos. The other dined on a bowl of clam chowder, always delicious and the ceasar salad with grilled shrimp. That salad was no good. Get the house salad instead. Like I said service was great, they get 4 stars for that. read more

Red Lobster has fallen from its glory. This place was good, used to like going there now I wont be back anymore. I ordered the crab fest trio, when it came out the waitress said oh were out of one of the crabs so I added more of the snow. The extra had to have been what was left over from yesterday. The crab legs shells were so squishy I couldn't crack them or break them I had to tear them apart and hope to get a piece. I got sick of trying to get meat I just gave up. The pieces I did get I wish I could say were good but nope! The crab tasted old, the color was just to dark. These shells were dark brown Like they were reheated. I'm pretty mad I could probably go on for a long time but I wont. Judge for yourself and see how much money your out of and still hungry. read more

Made an impromptu visit to Red Lobster with my parents on 9/14/19. Typical Red Lobster visit, you always know what to expect. We had the AYCE shrimp for 15.99. Pretty good deal! I had the scampi, teriyaki and honey sriracha. The staff was fast with shrimp reorders, which was nice! I feel like a lot of AYCE that isn't a buffet seems to involve slow service, but not this go round. read more

Do not eat there! Horrible from start to finish. Before i made this review my family and i went for dinner(kinda busy) and for lunch(only table). I could've/would've never thought seafood could be undercooked and overcooked at the same time. Greeter different both times, we were cutting into their phone time. Same server who seemed aggravated when we asked for butter and tartar sauce. Forget about drink refills..... shame on Red Lobster read more

Terrible night apparently for the staff, or at least that's what they said. Veterans Day to take care of the veterans free appetizer or dessert! Walked straight in to the hostess stand and the lady told us the hostess will be right back and to go ahead and have a seat. Then this big long line comes in after us as the hostess walks to the stand and proceeds to put people on the wait list. The lady told her to put us first but she didn't care and still put the whole crowd ahead of us. Place was a fake busy creating a waiting list for no reason. More than half the tables were empty. Getting so tired of hearing restaurants say they're "short staffed". Manage your business or go out of business. Finally got seated and took ten minutes for waiter to acknowledge us. Took our drink order but forgot to bring it to us. So we're just munching on salad and cheddar biscuits without anything to drink. Oh well, it happens. Finally bill comes and I asked for a military discount. He said oh no, you can't have both deals, the free appetizer and discount. So how is that a special for military giving up your discount for something I wouldn't have normally ordered? Oh well, looks like we'll head somewhere else next Veterans Day. read more

Ordered curbside last night and wasn't disappointed! Ordered one of the family meals which was an excellent value. Tasty and still have leftovers for today. Thank you! read more

Have come for endless shrimp each year and have to say that this year by far was the worst. Waited at least 15 minutes between orders or should I say refills. At least 15 minutes. Also the waitress was not the best at all. The food was decent but not the best as they have been on the past. When me and 2 other family members ordered the same shrimp they brought out one plate at a time. Totally unsatisfied. I fee if there is a waist of shrimp then they should charge for what is not eaten and not make the rest of us suffer. This will be the last year that me and the family come for this and come back to Red Lobster. read more

One of my usual hot spots on the west side. They have a great lunch and dinner menu to each of your preference. This is one place to have oysters even though it is NM. I still enjoy a dozen or more when making a trip. The miso covered salmon is very good its reminds me of San Diego. They have a good selection of beer, wine, and mixed drinks. they have local breweries on draft. If you're in the area stop by and see Dave he one of the best in town and he make awesome drinks. Don't forget about the cheesy biscuits oh ya. read more

I assumed 4th of July would be a good night for dinner, but service was awful. I ordered a spicy shrimp dish and didn't get a water refill until I was done and my mouth was on fire. The first glass was filthy and it took 3 minutes for a replacement, then no refills until done. There were less than 10 customers in the restaurant. I still find it odd they are one of the very few restaurants that charge to substitute a cup of soup for the complimentary salad, considering the labor difference between preparing a salad to the act of scooping a laddle of soup into a cup. The spicy shrimp, rice & broccoli dish was good, but would be better with grilled, instead of fried shrimp. read more

Had my birthday there, and the staff was incredibly helpful and accommodating. My group had brought a cake, and the waitress gladly put it in the back until it was needed. I love that their food is so consistent in taste and preparation, and even though some of my group we're not fans of seafood, they had enough non-seafood choices that everyone was happy. The only Unfortunate thing is that the price of their food has crept up to the point that they have become a special occasion place rather than an everyday place. read more

Red Lobster - Seafood Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

We had been given Red Lobster gift cards and wanted to use them. We chose this site because it was closer and newer. We were both aware that the other location has been there forever and looks/feels like it. The Yelp reviews of this locale gave us pause. Long waits and bad service were mentioned. Thankfully, our experience was exemplary. We were welcomed by a friendly hostess and seated promptly. Our waitress, Kristen D., came by quickly and cheerfully said we'd missed most of the dinner rush. She warmly gave us our menus, advised us of a Valentines Week special of any App + Dessert for $10 and explained they were in Lobster Fest mode. She even asked if we were celebrating anything in particular. The choices from our three menus took us awhile but we had the cheesy bread to nibble on as we read. I saw plenty of lobster options, fish combos and even chicken or pasta items. When I asked if the rainbow trout was local, Kristen joked it came from the Rio Grande, but came with a warning and then went and found out where it and all the fish were sourced. A nice extra step. We went back to our menu and saw some surprising items I didn't expect, like tortilla soup, a salad w/ jalapeno dressing & other food that I don't expect to see on a seafood menu. They have a pretty good $15.99 option that had soup, salad, entrée & dessert plus some other good deals which include lobster in your dish. We went a different route and chose to share an Ultimate Feast and a Rock Island Stuffed Tilapia. Our salads arrived (one raspberry vinaigrette, one blueberry vinaigrette) and we crunched away and discussed how average American veggies lack flavor and distinction. I also remembered that the stuffed mushroom appetizer is really good here, but that's for next time. Salad enjoyed - check. Our entrées came and we dug in without even a thought of snapping a pic to post. We chose garlic mashed and rice pilaf as our sides and the mashed won that by a landslide. The rest of the food was great. The tilapia was great on its own, but the stuffed part had just too many flavors to count. The crab, shrimp(s) and lobster were all cooked properly and, should they read this review, were delicious. We thank you for the flavor you gave your life for. Note: Is it the same as fresh seafood? No. Have I had amazingly wonderful seafood elsewhere? Yes, all over the world. This is not a comparison to that. This is simply a review of a red lobster location, so proceed accordingly. This being a newer venue, it has a nice clean and modern feel with flat screens over the bar and fun décor around the windows. I would pay attention to where you are seated. We were near an air duct and the place was a bit cold, plus it quickly shortens the time you have to enjoy hot/warm food. As in, hot butter begins to congeal around food and head back to solid form. There are plenty of issues with reviewing a chain restaurant, I admit. Like it or not, they are part of our world and folks will continue to patronize them. I write this to let Yelpers know that I've read the other reviews and was cautious, but my experience with this crew was a good one. The ticket says the GM is currently Eric Martinez and our waitress was Kristen D. We never saw him, but she was all you could ask for in a server. I hope the trend of good service continues for your meal too, because Abq has limited seafood options and RL is one people will frequent. One thing RL - No Wi-Fi??? Get with it. By the way, we didn't get a bib. Didn't you used to get a bib w/ a red lobster on it?? Did anyone else get a bib? Is that still a thing? read more

Hubby and I eat here pretty often. Since I'm a member of their on-line club, I get coupons via e-mail, as well as the ones that come in the Sunday papers. Hubby is a huge shrimp fan, so he usually sticks with that, but I like almost any kind of fish. Their crab cakes (on the appetizer menu) are very good. The last time Hubby and I went there, we were pleasantly surprised to have a waiter who had served us previously. I don't know how long ago it was, but he remembered us and brought our beverages to the table on his first visit--THAT is a real plus for a restaurant as busy as this one is and as many customers as he has to have served in the interim. Chris will be asked for each time we go now. All in all, a good place for decent seafood in a city far far away from the sea. Yes, it's all probably frozen, but they do make the best of what they have. read more

I "like" Red Lobster and every time I go there I leave felling the exact same way. Not "love", not "hate", I just "like" it. Ok , ok, so during all-you-can-eat shrimp season, I do almost "love" it... but I digress. In all honesty, I always get the shrimp. The lobster, the crab, the mussels, the oysters are ok but for the price I'd rather pay as much at a seafood boil pace or buffet where it's all-you-can-eat. It's a good staple place and it seems to appease the masses so I go every so often with family or friends and that's enough. read more

Wish I could give more than 5 stars. First, out waitress was more than accomodating with my allergy to dairy, her husband has one too. She made sure nothing was cooked with dairy. When my food came out, man was it delicious! The steak was cooked to perfection, the baked potato cooked how I like, and my steamed broccoli was perfect. After a 2 year absence from there, I will definitely be back! read more

Mediocre. Probably worth 3 stars, but their high prices command a scrutinous eye. Service is so-so, not bad, but kind of meh. At the front door, we are greeted with "How Many?" That is not a hello, or welcome - it's an automated greeting that sounds like a recording. Same thing with service, "are you ready to order?" is not a way to help guide someone through the menu. Server was very utilitarian, not great, but not bad. Seems like she had too many tables. Alas, not as bad as the table next to us, where a different server said the "kitchen" screwed up the order (even though the server was running around with WAY too many tables). Food was ok, I mean, it's way frozen industrial seafood that pales in comparison to Papadeux's. My wife's food was ok - my chicken pasta left a lot to be desired. Chicken breast looked like it had been chopped with a cleaver into crappy looking niblets, except they didn't cut all the way through, so it was held together by the burnt end of the breast. Pasta was dry, and sauce had that skin where it had sat in the window for a while. Bravo. And, last, why are they always on a wait? I mean, a half-empty restaurant at 2:30 in the afternoon should not be on a wait - part of the illusion to make you think they are something special when they're not, I guess. Only manager I saw was running a lot of food. Maybe they didn't think about it being a holiday when they wrote the schedule. Sure, you can say, it's Red Lobster, cut them a break, but their prices have increased, and they are no longer a bargain. Charge Wal-mart prices, I will compare you to Wal-Mart, charge Nordstrom's prices, and I will compare you to Nordstrom's. $35 for lunch for two demands a little better than what we got. read more

Food was real good but took 40 minutes to be delivered to the table. The restraunt wasn't particularly busy. Waitress had to be called to fill drinks and really didn't seem interested in actually providing good service. The hostess staff was unprofessional for a restraunt. "Playing" around on several occasions. More of a social gathering then a restraunt. I'll think long and hard before returning to this restraunt. Carissa M was our waitress read more

Service was phenomenal. Jo Ann showed so much knowledge of the menu and gave me and my family a wonderful experience. Appetizer was out in 5 minutes, Salads came out right when we finished and entrees followed quickly after. Everything was paced perfectly and the food came out top notch. read more

Red Lobster - Seafood Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

We frequent this Red Lobster because of the excellent service, great cocktail drinks, and the lobster bisque! My husband and I sit at the bar and appreciate the friendly bartenders who are attentive to customer needs and always have a smile on their face. (even when I harrass them about their football team) The bartenders have been around for quite some time, so that shows that they feel valued by management and they enjoy their jobs. (well, they act like they do anyways). I am taking the time to type this review because great service should be recognized. And this location provides excellent customer service! It surprises me to see the negative comments. We go often and we have never received bad service. Sometimes you need to be a pleasant customer. We'll continue to go here and we always recommend to others. Thank You! read more

Red Lobster is always consistent, consistently average. Don't get me wrong, I could sit and eat a dozen cheddar bay biscuits and still be looking for more. It's the main dishes themselves that are usually lackluster. Although I've never left here thinking I wanted my money back, I've also never left truly satisfied with my dining experience. It's what you would expect from a chain seafood restaurant in the desert. read more

We love going to the west side red lobster. We're closer to the Montgomery store..basically saying it's worth the drive. Good food and service have never let us down. Our favorite spot is at the bar there's generally no wait , tv ,friendly service, Food is reasonable. Dinner with tip 80 dollars and we has lobster tail and seafood feast , salads , beer and endless supply of biscuits. Doesn't have to be a special occasion to eat seafood. read more

Normally, this location has provided satisfactory service. On today's visit our server was less than attentive. Literally, our server took as long as 6 - 8 minutes to check on our needs. There was a 7 minute gap between rolls delivered and salad. It took the server 8 minutes to return with the check. read more

I do Endless Shrimp every year and while the normal standbys (scampi, breaded, etc) are always good, I do like the special varieties that they change up each year. This year they did the Nashville Hot Shrimp and the Mediterranean Shrimp. The Nashville Hot was a take on the Hand Breaded which they add honey, brown sugar, and a hot pepper (cayenne I believe). This made for a sweet and spicy mix that was very good (if not a little sticky ). I really enjoyed these. The Mediterranean Shrimp is a take on the grilled shrimp (from the secret menu, more on that in a moment) and is a skewer covered in what seems to be the scampi sauce with a touch of white wine, green onions and tiny tomatoes. I did like it, and I expect that the grilled enthusiasts will love it, I guess I'm just more fried fan as the Nashville Hot was my favorite of the two. The Secret Menu: so this is a group of selections that aren't listed on the Endless Shrimp menu. You have to know about them ahead of time basically. Why? Good question, maybe they like having the buzz about it? If you google it, there is a lot of buzz about it and maybe they like that extra publicity? Your guess is as good as mine. The secret menu changes a bit each year. This year (2017) it has Grilled Shrimp (I think that's probably every year), Popcorn Shrimp, Coconut Shrimp Bites, Cape Cod Kettle Chip-Crusted Shrimp, and Panko-Crusted Red Shrimp. I came in for lunch about 11:30pm and the restaurant wasn't busy yet. I got seated quickly, it was very clean, and the server was very pleasant and answered my questions quickly and correctly. The food was hot and delicious. I did the Endless Shrimp and recommend it very much. read more
