This Red Lobster epitomizes the idea of a chain restaurant. While I have never had a particularly bad experience here, I always leave thinking "well, that was exactly adequate." The waitstaff is always pleasant but many times it seems they are understaffed and there aren't quite enough to get the job done, though every time I have gone the restaurant is mostly empty. The food is average and meets the standard for mass chain fare. The cheddar bay biscuits are not as big, fluffy, or flavorful as I remember of days past but they keep coming when requested so I guess they're alright. I generally get something that comes with Walt's Favorite Shrimp and, as stated, they are categorically consistent here every time. Because the restaurant is slow, it's usually nice and quiet. Conversation is easy and interruptions are minimal. Clean bathrooms. Quick kitchen. Any and all issues are rectified quickly and easy. 4stars as it isn't anything amazing to write home about but it's quick, consistent, and easy seafood at normal prices. read more

Got a giftcard and was able to go here with my son. The 3 course shrimp special ($20 a person) was excellent and the waiter, think his name was Joshua and he was super friendly and attentive. read more

I usually shy away from any chain restaurants, but this particular Red Lobster is an exception. As with most chain establishments, the key to success is the management. At the Red Lobster in Bartonsville, they get it right. The ambiance is welcoming with great walking room and the lighting is solid. Even the bathrooms are clean. The host/hostess and service staff are very attentive. Food wise, it makes sense that this restaurant would be fairly solid because they cook seafood day in and day out. And they got it right with my "Ultimate Feast". Mine came with surprisingly fantastic sea scallops, perfectly cooked salmon (with the skin for those extra Omega-3 acids), skewered shrimp, and shrimp scampi. Also on the plate: broccoli -- and I loved it! The only weak parts to the meal was the coleslaw and bar drinks: weak gin and tonics and martinis. Even so, it was a great meal and I look forward to going back! read more

Red Lobster - Ultimate Feast. - Seafood Near Me - Bartonsville, Pennsylvania

The hostess by the name of Kayla was so horrible rude and used horrible words. I have been a monthly customer due to my business in the area.; I will not return if I see her again. I will also make sure my colleagues never return read more

I was in the mood for Red Lobster, so I stopped in. When I arrived I parked in their lot. I walked in and sat at the bar. Victoria was my server/bartender, and she was cool. She was the only one at the bar for the entire restaurant, so had to get her attention a couple of times, but she was nice. The bar was kind of uncomfortable, so I went over to the booth. I started with the pinot nior. For my meal, I really wanted the crab fest, so I got the sriracha honey snow crabs. When it came out, it looked delicious. I dug in, and it was luke warm, so I had to send it back to be warmed. It was pipping hot when it returned, and it was also good. The bill wasn't bad and had a decent experience. read more

Sorry to say but the food is just terrible. My lobster is as soft and mushy, either it was overcooked to just stale. My cold slaw was rancid and I almost threw up, the smell was so bad. read more

love the biscuits and want to thank Denise for her great service The location is in a perfect spot. Close to shopping and on the main strip read more

The food was very salty The service was good. There is room for improvement the men that I told the servant that the food was salty. I believe should've gave me a discount if I didn't want any more food that's what I expected. I left it all on my plate won't be going there anymore. read more

I've been here plenty of times and I never was dissatisfied. It's expensive, but the food is great. The atmosphere is also pleasant. The best part, is the service. I don't know what the negative reviews are about but this is the most consistently, pleasant dining experience that we enjoy in the Poconos. read more

Go to red lobster at least once every 2 weeks. This was the worst service I ever had. Waited 10 minutes for a server then 15 minutes for our drinks and I only ordered a seltzer water and waited to long for our meals and we were the only 2 in the restaurant. read more

Stopped in for my son's birthday and the service was fantastic. We love those cheddar biscuits and our entrees were delicious. We always enjoy coming to this location! read more

Red Lobster is one of my all time favorite Restaurant Chains and this location represents their brand decently. All that my party of four ordered, from the Cheddar Bay Biscuits up to the Cheese Cake and everything in between was served timely and consistently delicious. Considering they were busy when we arrived, the wait time was only about fifteen minutes which gave us just enough time to fully peruse their large Seafood Summerfest menu.    For starters the New England Clam Chowder was rich and creamy and chock-full of delicious hunks of clams. Equally enjoyable were the add on Signature Shrimp Cocktails which accompanied all Soups and Salads. Speaking of salad You really can't go wrong with a freshly prepared side House Salad from Red Lobster.    Notable Yummmers include, in no particular order: the Cajun Chicken Linguine Alfredo which was very delicious and filling. The [partially] Blackened Atlantic Salmon with Baked Potato was also reported to be an extremely flavorful dish. The Baja Shrimp Bowl also looked amazing but was just out of camera's reach. Sharing samples from the Bacon Mac and Cheese was a good idea because We were all able to try this new menu item which is definitely a bowl full of insane deliciousness. Also shared around the table were the ever tasty Wood Fired Shrimp Skewers over Rice. But not meant to be shared was My Lobster Tail with melted Garlic Butter which, let's face it was eventually and begrudgingly all sampled away, Lol. That's okay, I always say good food always tastes better when shared and I firmly believe that. Come And Get Your Munch On!! read more

I called to make a reservation but they don't do that, gladly we were greeted at the door and seated right away. Our server was Sara B, and she's a good server. Drinks came right out and some of those amazing biscuits. Shrimp cocktail was pretty tasty. The main course of steak and lobster was next and it was cooked perfectly. Sides were fantastic. I'll def go back and if I see Sara I'll ask to be seated at one of her tables. read more

Normally I don't like to write reviews but Nannette's service blew me away and I couldn't not express what a wonderful experience she creates for her tables! She was very attentive and what a personality she has! I wish I encountered more servers like Nannette when dining out! Thank you for such a wholesome evening! We will be back and request Nannette every time! read more

It's a chain, but it was good. It wasn't fantastic, just okay. We went because we had gift cards to use. But the service was good and the food came quickly. We had appetizers, salad, and meals. I took half of mine home; decent portions. read more

Prices have gone up. Selection is not as good as it was just a couple months ago. More fried food, little to no broiled seafood. Doesn't seem like anything is fresh. Service was good, with the waitress checking in a couple times. Typical Red Lobster decor. read more

The cheddar bay biscuits are hard as rocks. The potatoes tasted like they fell on the floor first then went on the plate. The food is not good. Growing up in NYC Red Lobster was so good. The one in Bartonsville Pa is terrible, read more

food is meh, never order take out orders are always wrong no one knows what they are doing there. foods always overcooked. over seasoned. it's terrible read more

After experiencing extremely slow service at a not busy time at bar. I ordered dinner. The meal was served after a half hour and cold. I mentioned that to the server. She then reminded me and my dinner partner that we were not the only customers in the restaurant?!?! read more

The quality of the seafood and the portion sizes are not what they used to be. The food is usually tasty but expensive for what you get.

I've not been to Red Lobster, any location, in probably 30 years. After our visit here, I'm sure it will be on our list to return! Wait on a Saturday night was not too long, and a bit shorter than the hostess advised when we arrived. Restaurant was clean. Our waitress was phenomenal. She was attentive, friendly, very knowledgeable, and worked her butt off between her tables! Food was surprisingly good. We love seafood and opted for the fresh fare. Good quality and very reasonably priced. Appreciate that there are many gluten-free options for my wife they had an extensive dietary menu plus our waitress was knowledgeable and offered options or how to substitute choices. Nice visit. We will return! read more

Went on Tuesday evening. Waited about 30 minutes. Once seated, our waitress took our drink and food order right away. She also brought out warm and fresh cheese biscuits. I ordered lobster linguine and it was delicious. Not too salty like other locations I've been to. Also had ton of lobster pieces in the pasta and tasted even better with lots of ground black peppers. We asked for another basket of cheese biscuits to dip into the linguine sauce. So good! I had no complaint this visit so perfect five stars. read more

I have ordered from this Red Lobster many times for a long time. For the most part food always good and order always right. I have to say the last 3 times I ordered I was so unhappy. I ordered a bowl of soup and it was only half full, I paid for a bowl and had only a cup. The shrimp were so overcooked that I ate 3 shrimp and the rest went in the garbage, The baked pot. was not cooked the potato was hard as a rock. terrible terrible will not go back to this location again. read more

It was not a purposely go eat place but while drive by and decide to give this Red Lobster place a try. I can said it was so much better then the last time I try "Red Lobster" at the one in Florida Orlando area. My servers was nice and fast. The foods was tasty and seasonings. read more

This has nothing to do with COVID !! I ordered for my family, what I thought was a exciting dinner! After 15 minutes, my wife wasn't feeling well ( we thought nothing much of it at first) THEN my 7 year old daughter & I had upset stomaches!! ** TMI *** I felt a sharp sharp BAD pain and could not make it to my hotel room but luckily made it to the nearby restroom. we had diarrhea for THE REST OF THE NIGHT!! I was so excited to treat my family to what i thought was a wonderful dinner especially since the resorts food didn'thave much seafood available; ended up super sick on vacation on our last night and we will be back on the road today. UGH!! I ordered Red Lobster because we trusted it but man i would think twice from now on. Such a disappointment to get sick from a prestigious establishment!! Ordered: Mussels Lobster Lover's Dream Bar Harbor Lobster Bake Creamy Lobster Alfredo Cost $$ 124 !! We had to throughout all the leftovers of crouse. My poor family still recovering. Would love to speak to management about this immediately. read more

I am giving this red lobster 5 stars for how they are taking precautions against COVID-19. First they've reduced their seating capacity to 40% They have designated many booths to have no seating. They require their customers to wear masks at all times unless they are sitting down. They have paper, disposable menus. This is also the cleanest red lobster I have seen. Our waitress was very sweet and nice. The food was delicious. I got the endless shrimp with a side of Caesar salad. Good experience at this Red Lobster. read more

*DINERS BEWARE* I used to never have problems with this establishment any other time I visited PA. However, last night was different. Although the service was nice, I started to not feel well 30 minutes after eating at this place. My stomach started cramping extremely badly and I spent most of the rest of the night in the bathroom. I have had bubble guts ever since I ate there last night at around 5 pm. Luckily, no one else in my party got sick. I guess I was the lucky one. I'm usually very cautious when eating at different restaurants and decided to let my guard down for once. Never again. I will definitely not be returning. What I ordered: - Side of plain garlic linguini alfredo (shocking for something so simple) read more

We love there daily specials and the all you can eat shrimp special is terrific and of course the cheddar bay biscuit are the bees knees

Very slow I have no idea why and they keep forgetting something from ours orders like I always say you have that one job. The appetizers was better than the meals and the drinks was good over board with the ice. read more

Had dinner at the bar and while the food was good, one of the bartenders was so rushed and frenzied in her behavior it made it a little uncomfortable.. she seemed to be acting like the roof was on fire, running back and forth and ordering people around, sweat flying... wish she would just relax and let people enjoy their evening... other than that I give this place a B+ read more

I've been here thousands of times and never had a complaint but on the day that we decide to spend the most on a decent dinner is when the food was so horrible smh very disappointing. My wood grilled scallops were cold and undercooked they also tasted horrible. I ordered mash with lobster and it arrived looking like soup so much liquid they put in it, it had a burnt taste to it which didn't make any sense. Our steaks came overcooked when we didn't ask for them that way and my asparagus which is extra to order as a side was so overcooked that it was rubbery. Sangria was straight sour juice like it came straight from a concentrated can. Never coming back. The extra star was for the waiter she was the only good thing out of this dining experience. They really need to make some changes it wasn't even busy in here so there shouldn't be an excuse. read more

We just had dinner at Red lobster in Wilmington. Our waitress Maria Sanchez was really wonderful. She got us everything we needed and was very attentive. The food we had was absolutely delicious and we will definitely be back read more

The food was absolutely disrespectfully disgusting. How do you serve customers old food? The fish was dry and burnt. Very much unacceptable. This was take out and this is the second time this happen. Never getting food from this Red lobster again.I didn't want to post any pics because it look so nasty. read more

Food was very good. Got the Ultimate feast. Shrimp, lobster tail and crab cluster was a little smaller than expected. Mia, the server ,was excellent. What really annoyed me is that at 6:00 on a Friday night I had to wait 25 minutes to be seated while there were over 20 empty tables. They can't blame it on Covid distancing because there were many full tables right next to each other. I probably won't be returning anytime soon. read more

We come here every summer and never had any bad experience ! This time I tried Door Dash and thank goodness Friendly's joined them ...it's a very quick delivery to our hotel at The Chateau Conference hotel in Camelback .... read more
