Went for the endless shrimp and it was great! Our server, D'Anthony, was super friendly and attentive. We went on a Monday evening and it wasn't busy, but the kitchen was pretty backed up and dishes took a while to come out. The endless shrimp is $30 per person, and it comes with one side. You start off with three shrimp dishes and can order two more shrimp dishes at a time. -- I didn't love the marry me shrimp. It was on the blander side and needed salt. -- The garlic shrimp scampi was my favorite. It was buttery, garlicy, and well salted. -- The shrimp linguini alfredo was pretty good. The sauce was creamy and the noodles were cooked well. -- The coconut shrimp was good. The breading is thick and full of coconut flakes, and the coconut sauce is sweet. -- Walt's favorite shrimp is lightly breaded and served with cocktail sauce. The shrimp itself is pretty bland and the sauce is crucial for flavor. -- The hush puppies were on the smaller side but had good flavor. You can make reservations ahead of time, and there is a large free parking lot. read more

$130 for Take-out Disappointment: The rating is increased to 2* ONLY because of the manager, Rose. Just taking the time to listen means SO MUCH to patrons. Your professionalism, accountability, and pleasant personality are invaluable. THANK YOU!! I was not going to review until I realized how bad the food was AFTER our phone conversation. Thank you for comping $10 for items noticed before the call .The presentation was already not up to par. I was going to let that slide until I saw my husband's face after our call. Food: Mariner's boil was incorrect with old shriveled lobster halves. Extra was paid for three additional dipping sauces. Just greasy and tasteless. Crab-topped mushrooms were salty with an taste that was interesting. There was a weird sauce instead of cheese. They were also just TOSSED in the container. VERY unappealing. Mocktail just tasted like syrup and ice. Phone rep, Trairese, the hostess made it very clear from the beginning that she WAS NOT to be bothered. I realized that she was greeting and offered to hold to give her time to show that I understood. Her lack of concern did not improve. Red Lobster has more pride in quality than we experienced at this location. read more

Welcome back RED LOBSTER!!!! The 3 course meal was yummy! You can't beat that price at $19!!! I had the LOBSTER bisque soup, a salad with sweet and sour shrimp which was topped over it, which gave it a little kick. The meal consists of biscuits galore (which were fresh and warm every time they came out to our table), shrimp luiguini and French fries and it was all amazing!!! Location: It was freezing inside with the a/c on full blast, on top of it was pouring raining outside, so I had hot tea. Moms and Auntie meals: My mom had a salad that she loves from here, and my Aunt had lobster tail and a cocktail. Service: Our waitress was friendly as we're the same for her colleagues (who came out to support me and to discuss my age which, I knew that the waitress would tell a peer or 2)... They couldn't believe it! Grateful and flattered Blessed and thankful to say the least, and the most! #Godisgreat! Parking: There's plenty of parking onsite! This was definitely a meal to remember and I'll definitely be returning to RED LOBSTER in my neck of the woods as soon as, I see another awesome special coming out soon. I'm praying that this new Ceo Damola, who came aboard, will keep RL establishments opened! So far, so good youthful fella!!! To the CEO: Keep on giving it to us, the public, the great deals and meals and Never Give Up Damola! You're doing awesome Sir!!! I love this for him! Yes guys, run on over and try the new and improved Red Lobster meals before lines are out of the door with long wait times! Thanks to this entire staff for celebrating my Harvard University graduation. ( Grounded and Thankful) read more

I'm not a fan of seafood at all. I know why go to seafood restaurant when you don't eat seafood?! I didn't pick to eat here but someone else wanted it so we went. Back in the day it used to be hard to get a table here because it was always so busy now you can pretty go whenever. My mom got the unlimited shrimp deal when it was going on and said it was good. I got a side salad and enjoyed a cheddar bay biscuit. There's not a lot to pick from as far as non seafood. They do have a Cajun chicken pasta, not a fan. The drinks are decent here as well. The staff are usually nice & attentive. read more

Red Lobster - Side Salad - Seafood Near Me - Bloomington, Minnesota

I finally got around to coming here. We were seated in a room off the bar which I liked better than the main room. It happened to be crab fest. I totally blanked out as to how to eat crab. I ordered a garlic butter sauce which I hated and always preferred drawn butter. Thomas our excellent waiter wasn't bothered by this at all. I loved the biscuits. I had a strawberry lemonade. Basil reminded me that they have the lobster bisque. I got one of those yet it's very blended, not little pieces in it. Still tasty. But the sweet crab, I don't think I lifted my head once. This has to be my favorite location. I can't stand the others that's why I haven't been in ages. I was actually in a good mood after filling up on this impromptu lunch. read more

Our server was Jessica, she was absolutely amazing and sweet, she gaves us refills as soon as we needed them, asked us how everything was TWICE and made sure we were happy and good to go with biscuits and drinks. Will absolutely be coming back. Jessica is the best!! read more

I haven't stepped foot inside of this restaurant for years and after today probably won't again. I had a craving for good quality Seafood, my waiter suggested Fish and Chips which sounded good. What I received was a large piece of heavily battered Cod and Fries, with Coleslaw and a couple of Hushpuppies. Honestly, I've enjoyed better Fish at fast food restaurants. This is no reflection on the waiter, he was better than the meal. Overall, 2 stars if only for the lousy meal. read more

Lots of parking, the inside is typically what you would expect at this type of restaurant. The portions were large and the coconut Shrimp was amazing. The biscuits were amazing. The servers were attentive. The ambiance was what you expect. I've never been a fan of this chain. read more

Red Lobster - Biscuits - Seafood Near Me - Bloomington, Minnesota

It's difficult to describe. For lunch the food is deep fried. Imagine a platter that everything is breaded and deep fried - it's all brown. The hush-puppies are also deep fried - and have a lot of sugar. For all this it's a $17 lunch - then add in the tax and tip. A horrible value. I didn't have lobster, but those in the tank looked 'under age :)' - maybe 4 oz. There were about 6 people for lunch - I know why. I will never go back. read more

Came here for lunch with family. It was pretty quiet which I liked personally. Ordered fish & chips--it was mediocre. I did love the biscuits though, of course. read more

I've never had an issues with service here! We come here every now and then for a cheap seafood meal. This is obviously not the highest quality seafood so you get what you pay for here. I always love a taste of everything so a like a plate with a little bit of everything. You can't pass up the ultimate feast. This comes with a lobster tail, crab legs, garlic shrimp, breaded shrimp AND two sides. The shrimp is pretty good. The lobster tail and crab legs were meh. Very cheap seafood but not horrible. read more

I should have just headed home when I stopped in the parking lot and felt my brakes crunch! The lobster bisque was curdled and the asparagus was over cooked and stringy. We only came for crab legs really... they were sweet and steamed well but little. You know the kind you can buy from Fresh and Easy for $10 a #. Some legs aren't big enough to have meat in more than one segment. Not the legs that cost $15 a # on the holiday sale at Festival Foods in Hugo. So we enjoyed the little crabs and our waiter was nice but maybe not nuke the bisque? read more

I had the stuffed sea food mushrooms , excellent. The Wayne's shrimp, good. The added Maine lobster tail, good but a little overcooked. The watermelon lemonade, nice flavor but too sweet for me. Of course the biscuits were fantastic. Thomas was my server, very respectful, accommodating, helpful & understanding. Nice place, cool, quiet, calming. Recommend this highly. read more

We came here for the all you can eat shrimp and it was fantastic!!!! The coconut shrimp was my favorite but they were all good. Now when I come here for the all you can eat shrimp I can eat a lot lol. I felt bad for our waiter because every time He would bring me some I would just order more lol. He did an outstanding job!!! I can't wait to come back here read more

Okay hear me out -- for what you'd expect, this place was exactly what it needed to be! My boyfriend loves Red Lobster so I finally went along with him and we had a great experience. Our server was nice and polite. The ambiance of the restaurant is nothing special, but again exactly what you would expect walking in. My boyfriend ordered the ultimate feast and loved it. I ordered the salmon. Nothing special in my opinion, but a good option to get your lobster + crab legs fix. read more

There's no arguing with a True Believer. This is an obvious destination for some people. But if you'll humor us a moment: It's never a good sign when a restaurant is dead at a normally busy time. Like dinner. For an old restaurant worker it glares. As does waiting more than 5-6 minutes to be greeted. Or to have to ask for silverware. Or realizing the crab leg meal is portioned for a dieter. Or that this seafood restaurant knows nothing about the presentation of a shrimp cocktail. That said, it was clear that the regulars knew exactly what not to order. They seemed happy. We weren't; but you may be. Best fishes. read more

Awful!!!! RUDE RUDE RUDE! I 100% understand covid makes the restaurant business jump through hoops. HOWEVER From the moment we walked in the rain to the door. Service was indignant. Manager was curt and short. Hostess ever so slowly helped us get a place to sit at the bar while we where to wait 30 minutes, that's after the manager yelled from across the we like give me a few minutes if you have to wait at the bar.... hmm ok... we go to the bar where the hostess had cleaned a spot and said sit here!!! So we did and I moved the sign down, and the bartender said rudely you can't sit there, oh I guess if you must... mm No, I do not need to sit here, but your hostess just cleaned it and told us to sit here. Done! We have had enough. Don't need to spend our money where people treat us like that. EVER! read more

An absolutely embarrassing customer service experience at curbside pickup today. As I called the number for curbside pickup, in instantly knew this wouldn't be a pleasant experience. I was rudely greeted on the phone and quickly hung up on. When my order came out 10+ minutes later, I was starred down and then experienced the most condescending "customer service" of my entire life. The middle aged male manager came up to my car and very rudely explained that I needed to come inside to pick up the order, and when I tried to kindly note what my app said, (to call the number and my order would be brought out to me) he interrupted me and said IF YOU'D let me finish. Excuse me?? Either he was having a bad day or maybe this is the way he talks to all of his customers?? I will not be dining here again, take out or dine in due to this horribly elitist attitude of this manager. I've never been treated with so much anger and with so much condescension. read more

Food was great. We also had a great waitress named Jessica. She noticed that we didn't get the garlic butter that was to come with our Crab Legs & got it for us & it was awesome! We dipped our potatoes in it because it was so good! That you Jessica! read more

We have been to this restaurant many times in the past and it seems like the service has gone downhill. According to their website there was a 30 minute wait and so I called and joined their waitlist so we would be seated around 7pm.We arrived early and were told that even though we were on the waitlist that it could be another 30 minutes (7:30pm). I asked the hostess what happened and she said it was the other hostess was the one who gave me the incorrect info. We also didn't see our server for literally 30 minutes after he initially took our order. We had to ask another server for beverage refills, a spoon and crackers for my sons soup. We would have picked a different restaurant if we knew that it would take an hour to be seated. There are better options with better service. read more

Was told the wait was going to be 20 min. Waited over an hour and kept getting lied too. Soooo many people were coming up and complaining and asking for manager. Ended up leaving. Never going back to this location. read more

Came here for my son's birthday dinner. He chose this location so that we could get out of the snow that was still falling. I'd already been in the car for two hours when I finally reached Bloomington to pick him up. Being an eastcoaster, I have no patience for Minnesota drivers on a good day. When there's precipitation, my rage is increased exponentially. We started our meal with the mussels appetizer. Big mistake. The mussels were overcooked and the sauce that covered them was so strong that you couldn't really taste anything else. We were both very disappointed. I promised my son that I'd take him somewhere that makes this dish deliciously. My son ordered crab legs, along with mashed potatoes and broccoli as his side. Because of how his food was plated, his butter for the crab spilled all over his potatoes. If you've eaten mashed potatoes at RL, you know that the last thing you need is to add more fat to them. I had a Lobsterfest dish, which was two types of lobster and the shrimp and lobster fettuccine. The Maine lobster was succulent and melted in my mouth. The rock lobster was tough and overcooked and really needed the lemon butter to make it more palatable. I didn't eat the pasta until a few days later, as I was quite full. The asparagus was very tasty, though much of it went home with the pasta. Our server kept disappearing during dinner, so we had to wait for a few things. It was just long enough to start to get annoying, then she'd show up. I don't know if she had tables at a station we couldn't see. She was nice enough and refilled our drinks. RL is not a seafood restaurant, to me. It's a place where you can get fish and seafood. It's in the same family as Olive Garden (not an Italian restaurant) and Outback Steakhouse (not a steakhouse). The food is alright, though you have to watch out for some things that aren't good at all. The biscuits do still taste delicious, though they seem to ration them a bit more than they used to. It's probably a good thing, as my son and I love to gobble them up while they're warm. Maybe it's the Welsh in me and the Scottish/Welsh in him that makes warm, toasty bread such a comfort. If my son wishes to return, then I will. Otherwise, I might have to save up some cash for the one real seafood house in The Cities. Then again, I spent $125 on dinner here, anyway. read more

The Red Lobster we ate in was definitely not the Red Lobster we've loved for years. We waited approximately 10 minutes to be seated, although there were only two other booths in our section occupied. I don't like the changes to the menu at all. For the price of a meal the small salad should be included and not a side item, especially since we could only pick one side. I chose the rice. I got maybe a half cup. It was also different than the rice we used to get. It was terrible and I did not finish it. The shrimp scampi was good, but the fried shrimp was greasy and the grilled shrimp very bland. We knew upon leaving that we would not return. read more

Dear Red Lobster- You have been a dependable restaurant for years. What happened? Well, for one thing the new menu has eliminated many of the favorites and prices have gone way up. You are a family restaurant, not a gourmet place. I ordered the lobster and crab legs dinner- big mistake. The lobster should have been thrown back in the ocean by the fisherman as it was baby- sized: two small bites at best. The crab legs were as thin as pencils. All was sent back. The biscuits are still the best. I can make them myself at home however. After 30+ years, I'm saying Farewell! read more

Red Lob Red Lobster Red Lobster Oo ooh ooh ooh ooh. OK, enough of that. My family and I went to Red Lobster for my birthday. Yeah, I know it's not anything super fancy but realistically for some shrimp it's fine. I've never had an issue with RL before, been there many times. A friend and I used to meet up there all the time. Who can beat cheddar bay biscuits? Yum. Those were good. We all got the all you can eat shrimp fest deal. For some reason we had to wait F O R E V E R for our food to come out. I thought they'd be crankin' out the shrimp for the fest but I guess they got backed up. It took so long my brother went to find someone to find out what was going on. We finally got our food. Two of the items were just bad, including one that is usually my favorite, the shrimp pasta. So we ordered different shrimp varieties. Again, took F O R E V E R. At this point we decided it wasn't worth it, and ended up leaving. Sad fest. read more

Red Lobster - Filet mignon, bacon wrapped scallops, lobster tail, snow crab legs, baked potato, bacon wagyu burger, French fries. - Seafood Near Me - Bloomington, Minnesota

We got a craving for lobster today, so we went to Red Lobster and was sat down right away, no waiting at all. The restaurant pretty empty for a Sunday night on Memorial day weekend. Kelsey, our server, is very nice and wonderful. She served us with a smile and explained very detail and gave us some good recommendations . She gave us some biscuits for a starter. I always love Red Lobster's biscuits, it's very soft and buttery. We ordered Lobster Shrimp & Salmon, but they ran out of Salmon so we got shrimp to replace Salmon. The lobster is so fresh and shrimp cooked perfectly, it was served with rice and steamed broccoli. The other dish we ordered was Filet & Lobster, we asked a 'medium rare' and it came out 'well done' and the Lobster was too dry (Because the server is so nice, we didn't bother to ask to change it), the dish came with the choice of Fried and it tasted good. Will definitely come back to this Red Lobster. read more

Let's just start out with.. I'M NORMALLY NOT A RED LOBSTER FAN. As of Friday, I may get a set of pom-pom's. LOL I was on FB or IG and an ad for Lobster fest came up... being the lobster fan that I am, I was craving lobster and it goes with my current Ketogenic lifestyle. Sooo.. my gf calls ahead and puts us on a call ahead wait list.. didn't know they did that. (I told you I'm not a normal fan. Can you slowly hear my cheer starting?) We walk in and the lobby was full. People standing on any empty area of wall they could find to lean on. In less than 5 min of checking in, our names were called and we were whisked away to our seats. FYI, Hostess was kind of enough to ASK if a table was okay vs the well coveted booth. I found that pretty nice. Ambiance: Standard Red Lobster vibe... i dont think they've had a face lift in a while, some new branding may be on the rise or may need to be on the rise. Your normal lobster freestyling in the water tank, bar adjacent was full for the 7:30pm dinner rush. Clean, despite how busy it was. Service: My server was very kind, professional and fast. She greeted, brought water and bread (which i can't have, so my gf hid it from me..pesky carbs) and one i explained to her what i had a taste for, since there was no actual meal set up like that, she was able to provide it for me. I did request olive oil for my salad, since I cannot eat dressing and she was KIND ENOUGH to be HONEST and tell me that they do not have olive oil, but only vegetable oil. [sidenote: that means in the past when i've asked for olive oil, they disgustingly served me vegetable oil for my salad! groooooooossssssssssssssssssss] So i just asked for extra butter for my 2 lobster tail and grilled shrimp and used that on my salad. Sounds gross too, but if you understood the keto diet, you would hi5 me. Food: Was great. Both my gf and I thoroughly enjoyed our meal. I had a house salad with grilled shrimp, butter vs dressing, no tomato or croutons. 2 Lobster tail and grilled shrimp skewers. Overall, it was nice and I was pleased with my experience at Red Lobster for a change. Usually i find their food salty and fast food-ish, but service and food were worth writing about. Thanks! read more

5 stars for food. The "Ultimate feast" is THE best. The shrimp scampi is buttery and garlicky. The lobster is perfect dipped in the shrimp scampi gravy. The crispy shrimp is great too. The cheddar biscuits are addicting. I give 1 Star for the service. They need to polish up their customer service a lot more. The waitress was new and wasn't familiar with the menu - I give her a pass. My empty water glass was ignored so I asked a bus boy to fill me up. He explained an unnecessary long story about how he doesn't get mad when people ask him to get something. When we paid our bill, however, the same bus boy asked if I needed a refill. I said, "yes" and I sensed he was hoping I'd say no because he rolled his eyes. My table was wondering why he reacted this way. He clearly got mad. I love red lobster so I will be back but don't expect satisfactory service when coming here. read more

I was at Red Lobster today for lunch. I ordered the lobster pizza. This lobster pizza had maybe 3 tiny pieces of lobster on it. It tasted terrible and not worth 17.99. It was very dry and tasted like it was sitting around for awhile. I would not recommend the lobster pizza. read more

We were seated immediately and waited 20 minutes. Not one person come two other couple were seated after us they were taken care of immediately we have got one person come. Mind you we are Deaf after another 5 mins we walked out. As we were leaving there were 5 or 6 workers talking at the bar area. Seriously? I havent been to Red Lobster in 10 or so years. Safe to say I wont be back read more

I love the dish called Bar Harbor. I've ordered it 5 times during the past year. Twice it was mind blowing good. The last 3 times it was like they forgot how to make it. Just awful and disappointing because my wife loves Red Lob and the only thing I like belongs in the trash not a plate. So hope someone Sortsthis out Yeah so I don't recommend RED LOBSTER restaurants for seafood, BUT if you like spending money on bad service, mediocre food and management that likes to "pop there chops" you have at it~ read more

I had a later lunch and got the Monday special all You can eat shrimp. I also LOVE the dragon broccoli with the dragon sauce on the side because the keeps the fried broccoli crisp but also that sauce packs some heat. But it is delicious! Then I dip my fried shrimp alternating between cocktail and dragon sauces. Great Red Lobster location. Eduardo B. was amazing and attentive and willing to do any special deviation I wanted. read more
