    Ultimate feast with fried shrimp, Garlic Shrimp Scampi, lobster tail, and crab legs
    Mike G.

    Having not been to a Red Lobster in several years, we took a drive to come visit. Showing up right at 5, they were somewhat busy already. We were seated and then waited awhile to be greeted. One waiter came by and said he'd be back. Then another waiter came by to say hi on his way to another table. He came back a bit later with biscuits and said he'd be back. By the time he showed up again, we were beyond ready to order. We got our drinks and more biscuits, so that held us over until the food showed up. My daughter and I determined we'd split the ultimate feast and the Parmesan chicken. The feast has SO much food. My daughter liked the Walt's fried shrimp the best, followed by the lobster, which we both agreed was just ok. I really enjoyed the garlic shrimp scampi. Crab legs were a lot of work without much crab, which really should be the slogan for crab legs anywhere. Chicken was good, even though you can't get the sauce without tomatoes. We did get the sauce on the side. Hush puppies were good, and the biscuits are still the best. My daughter liked her mashed potatoes. Service here was weird. They weren't slammed, and yet, everyone was running around like crazy as if they were. Nobody particularly seemed to be happy either. And yet, even though they were running like crazy, we waited a long time pretty much throughout. Not sure if they were understaffed or what. Just kind of strange. Service gets a 3, just because of the waits, and food gets a 3-3.5. Since I can't give .5 points, I'll give them extra credit for at least the effort and round up on this visit.

    Once in a blue moon I get a real craving for some red lobster. I truly have this nostalgic bond with the cheddar bay cheese biscuits & all the fried shrimp goodness. In our recent visit we got the lobster dip, it was pretty good. It was just a bit salty for my taste. For our mains we ordered the shrimp three ways. I of course ordered all my shrimp fried - Walt's, coconut, & dragon shrimp. They were piping hot & fried to perfection. I also asked for a side of their jalapeño ranch, a great addition to dip my fried shrimp in. This location is always clean & tidy. It's a bit more busier, probably given the location & one of not so many seafood options in the area. The service is great here, the wait staff are attentive & multiple check ins from the management themselves. If you're in the area grab one of many drink options & tuck into some or as many hot warm biscuits. Red lobster will always be a fun place tied to childhood memories & great fried shrimp.

    My first time ever ordering a complete lobster tail! It was my birthday present to myself...The lobster was cooked perfectly, moist and juicy and almost more than I could eat; as tough as it was I forged through! The location is great and the customer service was good.

    Went here for date night on a Monday night. We were seated quickly but the manager told us they were busier than expected. We were told that they had sent staff home because they'd been so slow but then they got busy. Our server Rihanna was very attentive but seemed stressed and was very busy. She was both waiting tables and tending bar. The food was delicious! I got the Bar Harbor Bake and my husband got a New York Strip steak that was cooked perfectly medium rare. We split the mozzarella sticks for an appetizer. And we got Meyer Lemon Cake and Brownie Overboard to take home. My frozen peach margarita was extremely disappointing but my husband's Bahama Mama was delicious. We did have several negative takeaways though. We could hear the kitchen staff arguing with the servers through the door to the kitchen and the servers were also complaining about various things and making loud annoyed noises while in the kitchen area. Also, Rihanna had two women get seated at the bar and she told them "I'll be with you when I can." After 10-15 minutes without service (not even a drink order) the women walked out frustrated. The lemon cake we took home was missing the sauces/garnish advertised on the menu and the ice cream for the brownies was one little scoop for a large serving of brownies. We also ordered the a Chocolate Wave but we're given a Brownie Overboard.

    Of the Red Lobsters in Aurora, Southlands is by far the most clean and comfortable. Mom and I enjoyed the $5 Watermelon Martini and the $20 endless shrimp. The scampi is the best in flavor and size (who wouldn't like all that lemon butter goodness?). The side of pineapple sauce is very complimentary to the coconut shrimp and super delish (tasted like a dessert). The menu specials are reasonable priced and our waiter was uber friendly! The manager was kind to stop by for a quick chat and appreciation for our patronage. Definitely a great place for fish and shrimp. And did I mention those biscuits???? Oh em gee!

    Very good. Fast service. Glad we got there at 5:15 as it got packed full about 6:00. A tiny bit pricey but worth it. Will go back again.

Service was interesting; not bad, but very relaxed as well. I did have something make me pause this visit, but I am not going to stop me from going back, in hopes it was just a fluke. Kind of worrisome though. I heated my leftovers in the microwave and there was a small explosion. I stopped it right away and found a small piece of metal tangled in my egg. I assume had there been more I would have known. No clue what it could have been from, but it looked as if it had been from the egg mix of my scramble. I would give the food 5 stars if it weren't for the metal.

The servers were very nice and friendly, but they seemed very confused as to which table they were assigned to. This makes sense as I discovered later, after leaving the restaurant, that a couple of drinks from another table were charged to our table. The Rock has a signature margarita- The Rockarita. There is a 2 drink limit on these. They were fine, lot more simple syrup than tequila. I ordered this drink as well as a side of fries. My frustration comes from when I called The Rock to ask about the drink charges that were clearly not ours, the manager did not return my call. While a very nice hostess took down my name and number, there was no call back, so the charges remained. I suppose I could call my bank and dispute the charges. Seems like a lot of work to go through for a place I will not be returning to. Very Meh. Very underwhelmed. Very frustrated.

Ted's was near one of my errands so I ducked in. There wasn't too many people in there. Happy Hour was from 4-6pm. I sat at the bar and ordered a 3oz bison burger , margarita, and their house made potato chips with onion dip. Then offered Coke products here. I met 2 other friends and they ordered similar items. We were served by Dillion , he was awesome. Very relaxed, friendly and on top of our service. The burgers that came with fries were just enough to make me full along with some of the chips and dip. The environment was quieter and we were able to catch up and watch some baseball. If you sign up to their customer emails , you get a free birthday appetizer and dessert ! I will mostly likely come back and try their HH menu again as it was a good offering.

I do want to mention that I've dined at other Ted's Montana Grill locations multiple times in the past and have always had good experiences, which made this visit even more surprising. From the start, service was very slow. It took a long time to receive both our drinks and appetizer, and our drinks sat empty for quite a while because our server was nowhere to be found. To make matters worse, our appetizers were dropped off and our entrées followed almost immediately, so there wasn't even a chance to enjoy them. The food was the biggest disappointment. Three of the four of us ordered steaks (two medium and one rare), and every single one came out well done, cold, and overcooked. I ordered the salmon with mashed potatoes, and both were ice cold. To top it off, there was a large bone in my salmon. We weren't even able to tell our server about the issues because he disappeared for most of the meal. The next time we saw him was when he came by asking, "Everything good? You're full and need boxes?" At that point we explained everything, and he brought over the manager. The manager was kind and did end up comping about a third of our bill, which we appreciated. Even so, we still spent over $250 on a meal that was cold, overcooked, and incredibly disappointing. Three of us have worked in the food industry, and it takes a lot for us to complain or leave a negative review. We understand that mistakes happen. But for a meal at this price point, we expected much better food and service. It was a really unfortunate experience and not one we'd choose to repeat.
