We came here for my aunt's bday. As usual the cheddar bay biscuits were a hit. I had the Main Deck Margarita Flight, the Caribbean Blue was my favorite. For my entree I ordered linguine with scampi sauce and it was fine. Overall the waitress and service were great. read more

We haven't dined at lobster since the, "changing of the guards", and wanted to see if they're worth the hype. There's a location minutes from us so I made a reservation this past Monday 11/10. There was no wait and we were immediately shown to a table. Our host and server were both very nice. Happy hour is available anywhere in the restaurant - meaning you don't gave to dine in the bar area. I love places that do this because you should not HAVE to sit in the bar area if a restaurant is offering happy hour. It should be available regardless if you're in the dining room or at the bar. We had their LITs which were OK. They're only $5 so I'm not complaining but they're weak sauce. Hubby had the chicken alfredo, which is a staple we used to order back in the day when we frequented RL. My kiddo had chicken tenders with broccoli. She did not like it enough to eat the entire meal and needed copious amounts of ketchup to make it palatable. My son and I shared their shrimp seafood boil and added a couple of other items to make it filling. We added the bacon-wrapped scallops and some extra sausage. The boils dome come with any sides because they're served with corn and potatoes. We started out with the cheddar bay biscuits, served warm and crumbly. These are always a hit. They've gotten a bit smaller but it looks like we received more in the basket. I also ordered some seafood-stuffed mushrooms, one of the HH appetizer items that you get $2 off the price. The mushrooms were extremely hot and smelled and tasted very fishy. We each took one to try and I had to send it back because it did not taste good at all. They left a lingering fishy taste in my mouth that I had to rinse away with alcohol. The bacon-wrapped scallops were probably the best thing I ate. The sear on the scallops could have been better but they tasted good so I'm not going to complain. The boil itself was a disappointment. The extra spicy Cajun butter was flavorful but the corn was bland (don't ask me how that happened). There were two short cobs. The sausage was OK but I got tired of eating it. The potatoes were scant, only about 4 very small baby red potatoes. The shrimp had good flavor from the butter but they are definitely the same shrimp RL had been serving. They have the same weird taste to them and I'm not keen on it. I was hopeful but my dreams were dashed. The boil was inundated with butter. It was soooo greasy. We ate it out of obligation to not waste the food. My husband was not happy with his chicken pasta, citing that it tasted better before when we used to visit years ago. One annoyance we had was my son ordering an LIT before the end of happy hour and the server accidentally put in an appetizer order instead. When he asked about the drink, she said she put in the appetizer. She was able to cancel the appetizer but said that my son could not get the LIT for happy hour since it was after 6P. We didn't press for a manager or anything. It was a stupid reason that could have easily gotten an override, especially since she made the mistake. We were feeling kind of gross with everything we ate and were ready to skedaddle. This was an experiment to see if returning to RL was a viable option. In the end we have found that it is not. Aside from the biscuits and maybe a HH seshie (drinks only), I don't forsee a future for me here. The proteins they carry are the same not-fresh items they have been offering for years. It's a shame because I used to love coming here when I was a kid and they've fallen off and cut corners to become a shell of their former glory. Those greasy seafood boils can miss me. They're terrible. Never again will I be fooled. One star for the basket of CBBs. read more

Since I've been going here for more than a decade, the cuisine has always been excellent. Although I recently went there with a friend and we had a great time, the restaurant could definitely use some updating. The lobster and steak that I had were both delicious and savory, and the meat was cooked to perfection. There is definitely something for everyone on the menu, including lobster pizza, snow crab legs, garlic shrimp scampi, and Cajun chicken linguine. It's pretty simple to travel to this place by public transportation or by car, there's tons of parking since it's near the mall. read more

I popped into red lobster tonight really to support the new ceos 's effort to revitalize red lobster. I will say we walked in and we were greeted we sat at the bar tables to have dinner. Chrissy was our server. She did her best she was fact but not as efficient as I would have liked our service to be. She was also the bartender which meant pulling double duty- first the drinks were not tasty - I would not recommend the margarita flight. We didn't love them in fact, and you will see from the second set of pictures We're leaving drinks on the table. We did however enjoy the food. The seafood boil is in fact quite delicious. It's why we came we were not disappointed The cheddar Bay biscuits were not as fresh as we are accustomed to having them, but they were not terrible overall- maybe it is their tactic because it's the first time I've ever left their location without biscuits as a take away- overall it was not a bad experience. While, I did not expect to receive a bib as this is not that type of es look establishment Or like we do at most crab places; we were served our soup pretty efficiently, and as I mentioned, they were quite delicious the lobster bisque better than the chowder. However, as we received our seafood boil, sometime later, what we were not presented with or any utensils, and so we waited, and when they did not arrive, we had to ask for them. This should be Standard at the table that there are utensils. I was surprised also that we were not offered more napkins of better quality, napkins, or wet wiper!! I'll return in about six months to see if what the new CEO has in mindl is working here. Maybe he needs to visit this location! I do think there's room for improvement here because this is a pretty popular location and the small changes will have a great impact. I'm sure. read more

Here's a photo of the workers at this RL in bay plaza,who has no sense of urgency, who sees a line building and would rather chit chat with fellow colleagues. In regards to the to go line, the woman closer to the front not sure if she's a manager decided after she was done with her convo to THEN come over and takes orders and has an attitude because I have an attitude after watching them not care how long persons are waiting and literally having a full blown personal conversation in front of customers. Food was also too salty and lacked flavor couldn't return because I had already drove home and wasn't planning on going back to deal with the attitude the way she when someone came back to complain about their to go order.

We had the most amazing host Niyel, after a coworker of his took people ahead of us he assured me I would be taken care of! He went above and beyond doing the greeting, seating, cleaning tables, all while being very cordial. Then he seated my party in Leana C section and she took the greatest care of us. Attentive, polite, patient, and very hospitable. When she was attending to other tables she had help from Joshua Torres. He brought our drinks, water and supplied us with straws, warm bread and made sure we were good. Even when he passed he also checked on us! I had the best experience this evening at Red Lobster because of these 3 people! Thank you read more

I'm going to say I always try and lean to the side of understanding when I post reviews. I try and give grace because places are understaffed and sometimes still recovering from Covid. But what was experienced on October 20, 2023 was.... Is...completely unacceptable. Now I've been coming to this place for years with family and friends. It was the spot for celebrations or just wanting seafood. This place has gone to absolute hell. Service is always slow, staff anyways seem like they hate their job, not always the cleanest. But this night during dinner.... Im done. I can't and won't comment on anything else because this one solitary moment has destroyed everything else. There was an ENTIRE NAIL IN A BISCUIT. This nail could've broke my tooth. I had a kid and nieces and nephews. This could've got lodged in one of their tiny throats. Any number of terrible things could've happened from this one thing. How the heck a nail even gets into a biscuit is beyond me and my understanding level. The waitress who was nice immediately notified a manager who was apologetic and wrote off our bill. Again I'm baffled at how this happened because I was told the biscuits are made in house. So how on earth did this not get caught. I want to give them zero stars and should and might still send this to the Heath department. read more

I came to Red Lobster during the week because I had a craving for seafood. When reading the menu my craving changed to steak. I ordered the 6oz filet mignon with broccoli and a baked potato with a non alcoholic pina colada. My partner had the crab legs and lobster. Everything was delicious, but keep in mind the filet mignon was pretty small. Let me go back to the beginning. It wasn't crowded so we were seated right away. I enjoyed the quiet ambiance. The server was pleasant and professional. I made sure she received a big tip because of her professionalism and quick service. I recommend eating at Red Lobster on non peak days. read more

Food fell off. I got takeout. Broccoli was overcooked and soggy, flounder was super salty and medium steak was overcooked. Not worth the money at all. Best thing was the biscuits. Please don't change that, it's the best thing they have. read more

This place is a long standing staple of bay plaza chain restaurants. It's been around longer than any other that I can remember. It's really great for people who are looking for a seafood experience without heading to city island. The prices have increased but they have a nice selection of meal options that you won't find anywhere else in the area. And we can't forget about those glorious cheddar bay biscuits. The drinks don't need to be had. They're infamously weak, but not cheap. Terrible combination. read more

came to Red lobster on a Wednesday at 4:25pm and there was no one there. yet when I got to the bar I wasn't greeted. There wasn't even anyone in the front to greet me. but I sat at the bar patiently while the lady with the Grey baldy had her conversation with her coworker. After she was done talking she walked away and still didn't give me a menu or anything. she came back and she had her headphones on having a conversation on the phone. pretending to do something on the register. At this point, I got a lyft and it was 6 minutes away. can you believe during that whole 6 minutes she still didn't greet me, no menu nothing. while I was leaving I asked for the manager who was wearing a blue sweater that was too small for him and I told him what happened. can you believe he just stood there unbothered. I hate to say this but having Jamaicans as employees is why that establishment will never thrive. can you imagine your own people treating you like you don't matter. never again read more

Went to this location red lobster for the first time for dining in. I was in there at approximately 11:45am. I was the only customer in there at that time. The food was okay. The identifiable bug on the floor next to the booth I was seated at stole the show for me I just kept staring at it. This is the beginning of the day and this is on the carpet nicely tucked. I was so hungry I didn't leave when another server seen me taking pictures of it that's when he came back to sweep it up. I asked him what was it ? his response was I dunno. . I said right. The server Krystal was wonderful. It wasn't her fault. Very attentive and very welcoming. I thought you spot check all these issues before opening the door to the public. knowing there are big bugs dining inside of a seafood restaurant. Yes bugs are everywhere, but this is not good. I come out so I don't have to cook and look at pest by the table. Not good vibes at all. If this is in the dining area what's in the kitchen. read more

Picture this:: What happened to me at Red Lobster in Co-op City demands attention. After a long shopping trip at Macy's, I was hungry and ready for a meal. Facing a 30-minute table wait, I chose to sit at the bar. That's when things took an unacceptable turn. Just eight minutes after ordering--before receiving even a glass of water--I was told to pay upfront. Why I asked? "People have left without paying." Think about that for a moment. Would any reputable business ask you to pay for a product before you've seen it or received it? The real issue became clear when I noticed the woman beside me, enjoying her drink, she wasn't asked to prepay. When I questioned this obvious discrepancy, I asked; to speak to manager. the woman claimed to be the manager. Again, she repeated people have left w/o paying. This wasn't about restaurant policy--this was discriminatory treatment, plain and simple. Customers deserve equal treatment and basic respect. Red Lobster needs to answer for this unacceptable practice, I was offended, insulted, got upset and left__which is why I'm reporting this to corporate and sharing my experience publicly. read more

1/1 Ambience; 1/2 Food + Beverages; 0/1 Service; 1/1 Value A group of friends and I went to this Red Lobster for Endless Shrimp, and for most of us, it was our very first time at a RL. This restaurant was clean and spacious, and generally had a quaint, family-friendly ambiance with dim-lighting and simple decor. While there were multiple families and groups eating out, it did not seem very busy for a weekday. Our waitress started us off with the iconic cheddar bay biscuits, which we all really liked-- they certainly lived up to the hype. We limited refills on these as to not fill up on too many carbs. Each Endless Shrimp Meal also comes with a side. One friend and I got the brussel sprouts (premium side with additional $3.49 charge), and we really liked it! They were perfectly caramelized, with a nice balance of sweet and savory flavors that I imagine even people who hate cruciferous vegetables would like. We tried all of the shrimp dishes that were available: garlic shrimp scampi, shrimp linguini alfredo, grilled shrimp skewer, Walt's favorite shrimp, Parrot Isle jumbo coconut shrimp, and the sea salt and vinegar shrimp. Note that the first round comes with shrimp three ways, and subsequent rounds consist of two shrimp dishes at a time. -Parrot Isle jumbo coconut shrimp: probably my least favorite because of how overly greasy and sweet it is. I heard the pina colada sauce balanced the dish, but I was not given the sauce alongside this dish. The sweetness was just overwhelming in this style, even as someone who normally enjoys coconut crusted seafood. -Walt's favorite shrimp: basically a fried, breaded, butterflied shrimp (normally served with a cocktail-like sauce, but we weren't given any), and it was overall good, but nothing special as far as fried shrimp goes. -Shrimp linguini alfredo: perhaps the densest dish (and I would recommend getting this last if you are looking to do AYCE and getting the best bang for your buck!) and rather bland. The sauce congeals within minutes of hitting the table; and the portion size itself is very large even though they give around 5-6 shrimps for a big bowl of pasta. -Sea salt and vinegar shrimp: perhaps the most polarizing amongst our groups with some people really hating the salty and acidic flavors on fried shrimp, whereas others, myself included, enjoyed such sharp flavors reminiscent of salt and vinegar potato chips in seafood form. It was definitely a pleasant kick in a sea of otherwise muted flavors between Walt's, the alfredo, and grilled shrimp. -Grilled shrimp skewer: this was one of two group favorites because of how light and refreshing it was. Although it did not have bold flavors, the natural shrimp flavor shone through, complimented well by a hint of citrus and smokiness from the grill. The skewer, if gotten in the first round, is served with wild rice, which was also really good and well cooked. -Garlic shrimp scampi: the second group favorite because of how garlicky and flavorful this dish was! Even though the shrimp is essentially swimming in olive oil, the dish does not feel dense. Unfortunately, the service was not as good. Even on a not so busy evening, service was slow, and only got slower throughout the evening. Even when we just wanted to pay for our meal, we had to wait a significant amount of time and at some point we suspect our waitress was just avoiding our raised hands and even eye contact all together. Even though it was supposed to be endless shrimp, our waitress put to-go boxes at our table as soon as she brought our third round of shrimp, which felt like a gentle "please leave." While we could have eaten more, we took it as a cue to pay and make our exit after the fourth round. Additionally, many of the dishes are supposed to be served with various sauces, but they stopped giving the accompanying condiments after the first round all together (although we do think they gave us some random sauces in the first round because even when some of us ordered the same dish, we got different sauces?). While this experience certainly had some drawbacks, what cannot be denied is that the value is very good, especially in this economy! We still went home feeling very full from a variety of dishes, all of which tasted fresh. All portions are large, even if it was not endless. Moreover, they give take-out boxes for leftovers without additional charge, unlike many AYCE places that charge menu price for any leftovers. All together, I would still recommend! read more

Red Lobster came thru on the delivery!! The flavors were familiar and just what I wanted since not being able to go to a location in over a year. It's LobsterFest and I got the 2tails with the Lobster and Shrimp Linguine Alfredo. I always find I have to add a ton of black pepper and I wish the noodles were more aldenté (did I spell it correctly?). Nonetheless a good portion and so happy the lobster was cooked perfectly. I must add the packaging was super effective! I like things wrapped up nicely to protect from possible spills or food sliding everywhere. Thanks for that RL! read more

I came here yesterday afternoon for lunch. I was going to try the seafood boil but I didn't want to get dirty The biscuits were actually fresh. They were hot and seasoned with the right amount of cheese very good! The food was actually great too. The only reason why I gave it three stars is because the hostess sat me at a dirty table, I was not offered any water and the waitress was not as friendly...maybe because she had so many tables. But overall good food. I'll be back for the seafood boil. read more

I ordered the mariner's seafood boil . The seafood was cooked all together with the shrimps and the shrimps tastes rubbery.

They took a whole hour before bringing the food, the waitress kept disappearing. When the food came it was cold, my friend ordered a medium well stake and got it well done so it was very dry. The lobster doesn't take as good, the only thing that was okay was the drinks for happy hour. read more

I went to this location excited about the new menu that I saw plenty videos about on tik tok. We arrived at this location as a party of 3. upon arrival we met with our server who I will keep anonymous for this review. Very sweet girl but she downplayed the new menu said it was simply the norm lobster fest. This made my dining experience go from the level of excitement from about a 10 to a level 3. We had to send back the stuffed mushrooms because they were cold. overall I give the experience a 4 out of 10. read more

First experience at red lobster and will most likely never return. Went to this location with my boyfriend tonight and we had such a nasty experience. When we arrived the hostess was a bit unprofessional with her approach, no greeting. When seated the waitress brought us bread and water right away which was nice. She took our orders and when the starters came it was a very disappointing looking meal. The tomato bisque was salty and the "cocktail shrimp" came with no cocktail sauce and super dirty . My boyfriends coconut shrimp also came with no sauce. she also forgot to bring us utensils. The food was not appetizing and lacked flavor. The establishment looked unorganized a bit dirty this evening. It has potential but don't recommend going. Giving it a 2 star for the amazing biscuit and our server did everything with a smile and was nice. read more

Worst service I've ever had. Hair was in my salad. They ran out of raspberry syrup for my mimosa and proceeded to bring out just the glass of champagne instead of asking if I would like another flavor. It took almost an hour just to get biscuits and something to drink. For my mimosa I asked for the orange mimosa. The waitress decided to bring me a glass of orange juice for my glass of champagne in which the glass was filthy. I asked her to just take the champagne back and add strawberry. She brought the glass back with a bunch of syrup at the bottom and did not feel as if she should've mixed it. We were missing a salad that was never brought out. Smoothie was not a smoothie, still had ice chunks in it. The mash potato was literally a rock you can pick it up with your hand. Every glass cup on the table was dirty. They don't know how to clean here. Management for the night sucked as well. The bathroom was FILTHY WITH NO TISSUES IN ANY STALLS , pee all over the toilet seats and period blood in one stall. The staff are just nonchalant like this is normal for all these things to be wrong in a food establishment. Where is the health department people to close this red lobster down.
