    Weekday Shrimp Trio
    Tiffany M.

    Haven't dined in probably in a couple of decades, but the experience was just as good as I remembered. They have a lot of specials these days and I wanted to get the shrimp trio. We also got the fish and chips for the Friday deal and everything was great! Wasn't busy and service was good. Would definitely come back

    Today Ethan showed what true hospitality is for me and my family, making Red Lobster and exceptional experience. Food was great. Condiments were great. Great family dinner. Appreciated. I couldn't have spent my birthday in a better place. It's a great dining experience for people of all ages and back-rounds! 10/10

    Perfectly prepared lobster. The steak also hot juicy and cooked med rare. Our server was attentive and very professional. Checked on us regularly. Clean restaurant and great music. Shout out to the cooks in the kitchen for your cooking skills. Great team work to everyone there. Thank you!

    Seaside Shrimp Trio
    Britney M.

    Better experience this time. Ordered for delivery though. They deliver through Doordash. I wanted something that I hadn't had in a while. Red Lobster was the pick. Food arrived warm still. We were missing a couple items though, missing side of broccoli and lobster bisque were not in the bag. Bummer. I did request a refund through Door dash since those items were missing. Seaside shrimp trio 10/10 This was great! Also, not a bad price for all the shrimp you get. I love popcorn shrimp, so that was my favorite. The garlic shrimps were very buttery and delicious. The shrimp with pasta was my least favorite. The sauce didn't have much flavor. It tasted just like buttery noodles lol For $22 this was a great value. Cheddar bay biscuits 10/10 Love these so much! They are cheesy and filling. Love the hint of garlic and butter. Very good biscuits. We ordered a dozen of them lol Hush puppies 10/10 The hush puppies have a special place in my heart. I love these corn bread tasting balls! So yummy. They had little pieces of corn inside them too. Stuffed mushrooms 10/10 My husband ordered these and loved them. They were stuffed with lots of filling. He said he enjoyed them. I like mushrooms, but not that much lol I didn't touch those. Overall, everything we ordered was really good. We were just missing a couple items. Could have been a 4 star, if they didn't forget the soup and broccoli lol

    I've been to this red lobster on countless occasions throughout the year and have experienced the small changes they've been doing. It had been a while since we had been here and I got the meal for the bday dessert. My bf and I decided to visit and bring our own wine. One of the best things from them was the no corkage fee since they don't really have a wine selection. This is family friendly casual restaurant with a wide variety of seafood dishes. They were pretty empty with only about 3-4 tables total. We decided to order the Brussels sprouts as a starter and one of their seafood combos to share since I wasn't too hungry. My bf also added the loaded baked potato. We waited 30 mins after ordering and NOTHING. Eventually they told us that they no longer accept wine from outside, not even for a fee because they no longer pay for that type of licence. This was disappointing since the tried telling us that the had never accepted it and we know that's a lie. Eventually the showed up to our table with a different tables food. We think our waitress mixed tables and potentially never got our order in. We waited 20 more mins from that moment to even get our food. The food tasted really good as it was really fresh off the kitchen. We have never gotten our food so freshly cooked before which just adds up to them not inputting it in the system. Sadly because the experience had already been so bad, we didn't get to enjoy the food as much. Now the reason I came in, my bday dessert. The waitress tried to tell me that I was limited as to which one I could get and that would've been fine, but I'm the type of person who reads the small print and that's not what the email said. I took the time to log into my account and I was right. It was a bit of a back and forth, but I eventually got my dessert which again was really good, but the experience wasn't. After this experience, I doubt we will be back. The only reason it is a 2 star is because after the 2.5 hrs lunch ordeal, the food actually tasted good.

    We went to celebrate my birthday and shoutout to our server Marvin who did a great job of celebrating my birthday that I have to give this place a 5 stars will be back Defoe sure

    Crab Queso
    Josh H.

    I ordered the margarita flight, crab queso, Tito's Strawberry Lemonade, Top Sirlion with Lobster plate, and Sailors Boil The Tito's Strawberry Lemonade was very very sweet and has a syrup taste to it. I wouldn't recommend this unless you don't mind super super sweet drinks. The Crab Queso was a bit salty but overall good flavor when it's nice and hot and it's a nice shareable size. The chips were very tasty as well. I would recommend to order this. The Top Sirloin was okay, the best thing about it was it being a medium rare like I requested. The flavor was okay but it was a bit chewy, I wish there was more of a sear on it, I would recommend to upgrade to the filet mignon. The Lobster tail is always very good, I've had lobster at various places and this one is always almost just as good. I would highly recommend the lobster here. The Sailors Boil was comparable in taste to most seafood boil places. I would recommend to Shake the bag when you get it so the flavor gets a better spread. The spicy sausage was the best, shrimp was okay, like most boils the flavor isn't great, mostly just bland. The only bad thing was the corn, it was very soggy. I personally wouldn't order this again, but if you're really into boils this one is good for the price. The flight of margaritas was good I would recommend to get them. The service was nice and fast with friendly staff, the ambiance is quiet and a bit outdated. I gave it a 4 star because the food has been a whole lot better ever since the CEO change, if you haven't been in a while I would definitely recommend to give it another shot.

    Strawberry Breeze
    Haley D.

    Deserved the bankruptcy and slow business. We came here for the ayce shrimps at 8:30. We were sat immediately but never had a server come by, we had to ask the host ourselves where our server was. We were served biscuits but did not give us water??? Until 20 mins later. The restaurant was NOT busy, there were roughly 2-3 other tables total. So why was the service so slow?? No apologies given by the server. Food also don't come out even though we were waiting until 9:20.. 50 minutes of waiting and not a single staff bat an eye on us. The only thing that came out the whole time was the "Strawberry Breeze" mocktail and it was HORRIBLE. It was literally brown??? Tasted watered down, literal sprite mixed with water. DISAPPOINTING. Bad service and drinks don't come out as described. 0 communication from our server/staffs. As a food service worker myself this was unacceptable and will never come back.

    I've been to red lobster countless times in my life. It's usually an enjoyable meal but in my humble opinion, I could take it or leave it. We ordered the lobster dip appetizer. It's supposed to be a mashup of cheese, spinach and artichoke dip and lobster. It's not much in this dish but I didn't taste or see any artichokes. The dip was good but I've had better. I ordered the shrimp meal where you can pick two shrimp options. I was saddened by the difference in taste of the shrimp linguini. The shrimp linguini is a red lobster staple and there was something off about the sauce. I couldn't quite pinpoint it but it wasn't as delicious as I've tried countless times before. The service and ambiance of this location is always lowkey. Our server was kind, attentive and patient. I don't think the quality has decreased I just think maybe the cooks were doing something different. U may come back but I'm not rushing.

    Trying Red Lobster newly added menu Seafood Boil. It was ok. We ordered Mariners Boil with mixed sauce ( garlic butter and Cajun ). Barely taste the Cajun. Service was good.

    Surf & Turf
    Donovan M.

    Red Lobster is a restaurant you could find almost anywhere you go. It's been around for years and has found a way to navigate tough times to keep their doors open. As a kid, this was the cream of the crop for seafood and celebrations. Today, Red Lobster continues to deliver some tasty food and nostalgic vibes! How many restaurants can you go to that displays a tank full of lobsters awaiting their impending doom? While there are many delicious options to choose from, you can never go wrong with a little bit of both so I went with the surf n' Turf which include, steak and lobster and a couple of sides! To complete the meal, our table shared a side of calamari. Our service was excellent. Our waitress was very nice and joked around with my family during our time there which really added to the joyful experience. I'm happy to see Red Lobster still doing its thing! The experience of going here today is as fun as it was when I was just a kid. If you haven't relived this experience, do yourself a favor and check it out!

    Yum!

    Great place to have dinner when you're done shopping at the mall. It was so cold outside and we needed warming with Red Lobster's clam chowder. It was so warm, tasty, soft clams... perfect for tonight! My hubby and I wanted everything so we both got the Admiral's Feast. We had the tender & tasty scallops, the yummy lobster tail, coconut shrimp and shrimp scampi. I also ordered their premium side of Brussels Sprouts and they were so delicious. Everything was cooked to perfection and I only wish I had a bigger stomach! The ambiance was nice and warm, clean and very family friendly. The service was great tonight too. Daisy, our waitress, was super friendly, extremely helpful and always checked in on us. Please clone her! I highly recommend everything!

    Ultimate feast
    Erika L.

    Things have gotten a little pricey, but quality is still good. We always enjoy their biscuits and the ultimate feast. Our server/bartender, MARVIN, was very kind, attentive, and helpful. We enjoyed every part of our meal, our favorite being their coconut shrimp and their snow crab! Lots of indoor seating available and accommodating parking.

The FOOD: 4.5/5 | Drinks: 5/5 Off the appetizers, we had the pork belly bites and dirty fries! First dish came with a long hot pepper, several mini tortillas, and 2 dipping sauces. The pork was crunchy on the outside and soft+succulent on the inside. I can see myself doubling up on this appetizer the next time I come. Dirty fries were great; it came with a generous amount of pickled onions - providing a really nice contrast to the savoriness of our meal.

The salad & especially the dressing was wonderful! The rice had a great flavor unlike any rice I've had at any other place. The tzaziki sauce with my plate was SO smooth, creamy, and not overbearing, so it made a nice little dip for the fish. (AND the cucumbers in the salad. AND the tomatoes in the salad!) My veggies were grilled and tasted VERY good. My friend ordered an app of French fries, and they were EXCELLENT! Tasty, crispy, not chewy at ALL. Bite into one, "CRUNCH!" and you have what they feel like. Dip 'em in ketchup, or tzaziki, or GARLIC SAUCE, or not at all! I ate a lot of them. I also tried my friend's garlic sauce. I am SO going to have to order some of that to go because it can go with ANYTHING! Pita brea, fish, French fries, wraps (yum!), chicken, shrimp, lobster, beef, lamb, it's too creamy and yummy! Not too garlic-y either! I took her little container home and I'm ashamed to say I got the last little bit of it with my fingers. It'd make a REALLY nice dip for raw veggies as well.

You can either get soup base or stirfry. This place definitely has more options than the places I've visited from. They also have your own sauce station. For the broth, I chose "just a kick" which was perfect for me. It was a good spice and wasn't overly spicy. Absolutely delicious. I couldn't finish my bowl so I did get pack the rest for home and had it for lunch the next day and it was still delicious. There's a good amount of seating inside and few tables outside.

Here is the breakdown of how it works: Pricing: It's $15.99/lb. Be careful when picking your ingredients because the weight adds up fast--it's very easy to hit 2 lbs before you know it! The Process: Grab a bowl, pick your ingredients and broth, weigh it, pay, and they'll give you a buzzer that goes off when your food is ready. Perks: They have a dedicated sauce bar and a simple fruit station, you get free ice cream after your meal! I tried both the Laksa broth and the Chicken soup broth. Interestingly, ordered two laksa broth, one turned out noticeably spicier than the other, so consistency might still be a work in progress. Ambience is clean and modern. The food is just okay--nothing mind-blowing, Not the best malatang I had but acceptable. If you are shopping at the mall and craving something warm and soupy, it's a convenient option.
