We decided to try Red Lobster as I've been sick for a while now. This was the best lobster dip we've ever had from here and it was Amazing. Unfortunately the drinks were watered down and not good. I ordered my favorite the chicken Alfredo. It came with enough noodles to literally fill the palm of my hand. It had plenty of chicken but the pasta was extremely dry. Our waitress advised it would cost for more sauce. I advised it's clearly dry noodles as you can see. She advised yea she see it's dry but I'll have to pay for more sauce. I sent it back. When the Manager saw it he advised her to give me the sauce and at this point I didn't want it. One of our worst experiences here. Our waitress was overwhelmed from working the bar and some tables. This has always been one of our places to enjoy and all of this was very Disappointing.

I ordered the Crab Your Way. The food was generally great. A few crab legs were too soft for me to crack, which was a bit disappointing, but overall, the crab was delicious. My potatoes were overcooked and soaked in butter, so I couldn't eat them, which was disappointing. However, the asparagus was very good. The service was excellent, and [[HIGHLIGHT]]you can hear a pin drop. It was so quiet in the restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would definitely revisit.

I have got to be honest, I have not eaten at a "Red Lobster" location in nearly two decades (as of 2026) so I figure I better pay them a visit. Located directly on Sunrise Blvd and just north of Greenback Ln in the heart of Citrus Heights, this is currently the only Red Lobster that is still operating in the greater Sacramento area. Their Howe Ave location (in the Arden area) closed in mid-2024 while there were others that have also shuttered due to rent costs and underperforming location. I had the opportunity visiting the Citrus Heights location on Friday 1/16/2026 at around 6pm. Upon entry, my lady and I were seated immediately which was a huge plus. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The overall size of this restaurant is quite spacious and actually offers more than enough ample space to accommodate a couple hundred customers.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Once we received our menus, we were pleasantly surprised how much is offered. Everything that includes all types of seafood (shrimp, salmon, scallops, crab, lobster) as well as full-on seafood boils, non-seafood items (chicken, steak), pastas, soups, and salads. They also carry a generous beer/mixed drinks menu, kids options, and desserts. Our server was absolutely attentive and welcoming as she brought us out half a dozen of their signature warm, house-made Cheddar Bay Biscuits. These were absolutely fire and it was very difficult not to eat all of them prior to the main meal. As for my entree of choice, I went with their "Surf & Turf Maine Lobster Tail & 7 oz. Sirloin". I ended up choosing seasoned broccoli and hush puppies as my sides. My lady went with their "Parrot Isle Coconut Shrimp" with a side of mashed potatoes. Her shrimp also included a side of their piña colada sauce. We complete our orders with two fountain drinks; a lemonade for myself and a Diet Coke for her. Keep in mind that we entered the restaurant at 6pm, received our biscuits at 6:10pm, and placed our orders right after that. Unfortunately, we did not get our entrees until 6:45pm. Furthermore, for a Friday evening, it was not that busy. I know our server looked a little upset that we had to wait that long. However, it doesn't get any better as my plate had mashed potatoes when I clearly wanted hush puppies. And what made this even worse was that I specifically requested my steak to be cooked medium when it was cooked well done, tough, and difficult to cut with a steak knife. The lobster was good but with the rest of the food items not being correct, this severely tarnished what I had hoped to be an amazing dinner, especially when I am spending over $40 for this entree. All in all, the Citrus Heights "Red Lobster" did not live up to its expectations. I don't know if the kitchen was understaffed and overwhelmingly busy but I have a feeling my steak was left to cook for too long. The service was definitely above average but leaving underwhelmed made my overall experience more on the mediocre side. With that said and done, this Red Lobster only gets a three-star rating from me.

Another visit to Red Lobster today, and ordered their Wednesday special Steak and Lobster meal for $29.99, and comes with one side. I chose the rice pilaf. I also ordered a child's grilled shrimp meal, of which comes with rice, and a side, and I chose double rice because the sides are pretty small, and I had vegetables at home. The server who took my order was very nice and efficient, making sure that I had lemon and butter for my seafood, and their famous cheesy biscuits. The sirloin steak was a decent size, and I opted for that instead of upgrading to a filet for an additional $7. The main lobster tail (slipper size) was good, and cooked just right. This location is tucked away behind a mall, and has plenty of parking, but is quite a distance since they closed the one on Howe Ave.

We decided to give Red Lobster another try, and we are so happy that we did. We were seated right away, and Dylan brought us waters and took our order promptly. We ordered the pound of crab, which was cooked perfectly, and the butter sauce on the side was amazing--I can't even express how good it was. The biscuits were just as delicious as I remembered. My sister wasn't a fan of the mashed potatoes, but that's OK because the crab was definitely the star of the show. Dylan was very attentive and made our visit very enjoyable.

Loved our Red Lobster experience last night. Dylan, our server was amazing. He took care of us really well considering he had a lot of tables he was assisting. For starters, we had their signature bread, calamari and complimentary something mushroom that they accidentally brought to our table. I had the grilled lobster, shrimp and salmon with a side of baked potato and broccoli which I enjoyed. My husband ordered the create your own ultimate feast with maine lobster tail, sirloin, Walt's favorite shrimp (which I did not prefer) and shrimp linguini Alfredo. He liked his meal too. We had a good time and will definitely be back.

3.5 stars for the once, great legend. The LeBron of the dining chain restaurants. Not washed up but still not performing as they once were, respectfully. Figured I'd try the crab boil as it's been touted as the thing that will bring glory back to Red Lobster. That was greatly exaggerated. 7/10 for the crab boil. Potatoes were a bit hard, corn wasn't savory. Shrimp were plentiful but the sauces and seasonings came up short in clutch time. Crab was good and full of meat once cracked open. There's better crab boils in the area. I've had them and consider myself a fan. Not a fan of the crab boils here though. This is not to overlook the cheddar biscuits being better than a game 7 tied with a minute left. Clam chowder was lacking a bit in flavor but this is less than a month after my visit to Scott's seafood in which is amazing in my opinion. Highlights were the coconut shrimp and stuffed mushroom. I'll be back to enjoy those again as I am not a Red Lobster hater. Just being real with myself and you. Servers here were nice and very attentive the entire visit. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Restaurant had a big crowd, love to see that.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Thanks to the new CEO for doing his best to keep Red Lobster alive and moving forward into the future, good luck. (He's a big fan of my reviews)

David M.

I've visited this red lobster location countless times over the years, but it's been some time since my last visit. However, a new CEO coming in and revamping the company and menu motivated me to check out how the changes had impacted this chain. I'm happy to report that the changes implemented have been a positive. The menu largely remains the same with the exception of the seafood boils. However, the seafood boils were delicious. Taking a page out of boiling crab red lobster is offering a few different flavors and the server let me know the flavors can be combined so I'll be returning to taste test that combination. My only suggestion would be to have less potatoes and maybe a few different types of seafood in the boil rather than just shrimp, crab, and lobster. Understandably this limitation might be a result of costs to the chain, but throwing in a scallop or having a make your own with the Bairdi crab could take this menu item to the next level. Still, I'm happy with the changes and I won't let as much time pass between this last visit and my next one.

It's been a LONG time since I've been to Red Lobster. Was recently in the area and swung by for dinner. They got my date and I seated pretty fast, brought us some tasty cheddar biscuits and made some recommendations when we asked. Our server Vahid was attentive to refills on drinks & biscuits, checked in on us numerous times and was so polite & courteous. His hospitality really impressed us, along with the food which was hot & tasty! We got the admirals feast which included crab legs, lobster tail, coconut shrimp, shrimp scampi, hush puppies, bacon Mac & cheese and two soups (lobster bisque and cl chowder). We enjoyed our meal and left stuffed. Will for sure be back!

Red Lobster Citrus Hight Ca We were greeted when we came through the door and we were seated immediately it around 3:00 pm Sunday quiet table. We had the best server Jacob P he took are order and brought out hot biscuits. I had all you can eat shrimp, scampi,, fried shrimp, and shrimp, fettuccine, and my side was the brussels sprouts I also tried the coconut shrimp it was all hot and delicious. Jacob kept checking on us. There was a lot of people celebrating there birthdays if you sign up and get there app you get a free dessert for your Birthday strawberry cheesecake was delicious.

First we would like to give a very special thank you to Vanessa Griffin-Thomas Executive Pastor and husband Marcel Thomas for the blessing of a Sunday dinner. The 4 Best Friends Only - Tavia, Latasha, and Tresla; missing Jennifer. Decided to dine in at the Sunrise Red Lobster in Sacramento. Number one we have not been to Red Lobster in over three years; since the closing of the Howe Ave location. Today March 16, 2025 we decided to take a chance. The food was fresh out the oven, hot to serve. The cheese bread was warm with each bite. The specialty drinks topped everything off. Delicious! The service was top tier! We were personally served by one of the store managers Abdi Akhavan and server Kasandra! They were both an incredible tag team. Every need and request was answered with ease and a great spirit!!! Smiles and laughter was what we experienced on this Sunday dinner. In this client dining out is very expensive. So, we all want to receive great customer service, and that my friends we absolutely did!!! FIVE STAR Service! We will be back

The prices are almost 2-1/2 times what they were 2 years ago. I was looking forward to my usual that used to be $18 now it's over $40. I had to settle for the cheapest thing I could find that I could afford and I still got out of there for $21 for fish and chips... which I didn't really want. I'm not sure who they are trying to cater to but it's certainly not me that used to bring my family there twice a month. Additionally I was informed that they don't offer senior discounts. WTH? Really? For those prices in Citrus Heights of all places? read more

I was Very disappointed in the quality and presentation of the entree I ordered. We have frequented Red Lobster numerous times over the years, often making this the spot to visit snd enjoy meals with friends. I ordered the two item "Shrimp Your Way", selecting grilled shrimp skewer and shrimp linguini. I was shocked that the tails were still on the shrimp linguini! Additionally, the sauce was just thrown on the linguini. I have ordered this item numerous times while dining at Red Lobster and found myself very disgusted at trying to dissect the tail in this dish (not traditional in the past). Additionally, the skewer was cooked to death, leaving the shrimp tasteless and tough! My experience was so unpleasant ... I have vowed never to return! It saddens me because this was the PLACE we have enjoyed so many memories read more

I went in with my family only a week ago and all I can say is wow. The staff puts up with a whole lot more than I thought. I witnessed our server getting scolded for not selling an appetizer by a someone who looked like her manager he was an dark older bald gentleman and he seems like he doesn't appreciate his staff which is really sad. I probably won't be back until I see a change because that whole encounter ruined my appetite.

Hello Food Lovers I live in Napa, Ca. but this Red Lobster is in located in Citrus Heights (Sacramento area). Was there for my friend's 83 birthday. She wanted crab and the Red Lobster is where we went for that to happen. There was a total of 6 of us. Right up front I'll tell you, the restaurant gets 5 stars! The subtraction was for the bar at this restaurant. Nobody was seated at the bar, yet it took the la-de-da bartender quite awhile to come over & ask my order. Vodka and soda arrived in a huge water glass. A jigger in a huge glass of club soda. It was refreshing but weird. I'm docking the restaurant for ignoring me is all. Now for our food and those lovely cheesy biscuits. EXCELLENT ALL THE WAY AROUND. 2 of us ordered the fettuccini w/shrimp and omg it was SOOOO GOOD. My friend took half of hers home. Honestly, I should have too. Huge serving and, like I said, it was so good. The Birthday Girl wanted the Snow Crab Legs. She said it was sweet and just what she wanted, although she could have eaten another serving. They were small. It's not those crab legs you see the Fishermen hauling out of the ocean up there in Alaska but they were really tasty. The other three party goers got the crab tacos and said they loved them. Two of us asked for our own checks. The waitstaff were so professional they didn't bat an eye or make it known to everyone else what was going on. When it was time for the checks, they all arrived and everything was in order. The restaurant is Red Lobster and I'm pretty sure they're all similar in style. I like the decor and the ambience in this case is what you make it. And we had ambience to spare! Relay good food, super professional service and a fun time celebrating our friend's birthday. Oh!! I forgot that our waitress brought an ice cream with a candle and 6 little spoons . Such a nice experience read more

Very clean and welcoming interior with a pleasant atmosphere inside. I had the endless shrimp. The shrimp were all cooked nicely and the shrimp Alfredo was delicious. Excellent Alfredo sauce. The coconut shrimp were tender and super tasty. The wildfire grilled shrimp were superb. I wish I could have eaten more. Our server was efficient and timed our food nicely. We started with the calamari and that also was very good. The only thing I didn't enjoy was the cheddar bay biscuit. It was bland, sort of dry and really lacking in flavor. Since I don't really care about them not a big deal. I was pleasantly surprised at the overall quality of the food. I will definitely go back. read more

So I went here this evening what a nightmare. We were seated and from the start it was the worst time I could have had. No napkins no utensils felt like leaving at that point but gave it a fair shake. Well bad mistake ordered a drink and shrimp cocktail and a soda and she brought me some bread. Took my order and it went from bad to worse waited a long time I think it was around a hour from sitting to main dish (and if you go and want to order a special make sure the Appetizer is not part of the special you order it is smaller than the regular orders) but the food came and she still didn't give us utensils or napkins and the food was COLD. I'm telling you seafood and pasta cold is terrible I left and I never do that. But I guess she wanted to argue with my wife it was not her job to give as a setting it was the person that seated us. I don't recommend going to this location anymore. I go out to be at a nice place to be served and to eat good food. Other wise I would have had food at home. So long story short be careful going to this location. read more

I ordered a meal thru GrubHub and when it arrived the fish portion was very tiny. I called Red Lobster and explained the situation. After a brief hold I was told that was the correct portion. I thought wow, that is a small piece of fish. I thanked him for looking into it and we hung up. About 10 minutes the manager called and explained that I ordered the "half portion" off of the GrubHub site. We had a good laugh and I thanked him for letting me know. He then went above and beyond by insisting on mailing me a $20 coupon. I thanked him and said he did not need to do that since it was my mistake but he was not taking no for answer. Fantastic customer service, attention to detail, and follow through! Great job! read more

On Monday, April 25, 2022, we had a great dining experience at the Red Lobster restaurant in Citrus Heights CA. Since it was Monday, we ordered the all you can eat shrimp deal. The food was delicious and perfectly cooked, and we had a great server named Ingrid. Ingrid was polite, friendly, and efficient. She listened carefully to our orders and didn't forget a thing that we requested. Our food was delivered to our table promptly and she visited our table frequently to see if we needed anything such as drink refills or more shrimp. Ingrid did a great job, and she is a wonderful server. The Stockman family read more

When I asked to speak to the manager, I had to hunt him (Steve) down and he was rude, unsympathetic and did absolutely NOTHING to resolve ANYTHING. He never smiled, never apologized (not even in a general way) & DOES NOT belong in a customer service oriented field. They were OUT OF COCONUT SHRIMP on a FRIDAY night during endless shrimp.

The food was delicious and not just because most of it was free because of my gift card. I was surprised and very pleased. The biscuits, stuffed mushrooms, filet, lobster, shrimp, and broccoli were so flavorful and cooked very well. The waitress was nice and pleasant and it was overall a nice old school atmosphere.

Okay if I could give this a no star i would. This visit was absolutely horrible. We arrived and there was no wait, not many people .. and even with there hardly any people , the waitress didn't bother seating us immediately, and upon greeting us she was in such a rush , didn't even grab 2 menus for my kids , just one so my other kids went and got himself a coloring menu . First I was disgusted- our waitress had huge nails, they were dirty and just nasty , he had dirt under his long nails, he also held his nails well into our plate . I ordered a peach iced tea -recieved what I'm sure was just regular tea . We ordered 2 bowls of lobster bisque - it was soooooo SSSOOO salty ! I couldn't eat it. I sat without a spoon , asked another server passing by for a spoon instead of a spoon for soup I recived a tiny dessert spoon . Then I ordered a trio plate for my kids , and my husband ordered his food , When the waiter brought our food his nail was so far into the plate ew, my husband had taken forks to the bathroom to handwash them since everything was so dirty . Upon starting to eat his food he pulled out some nasty huge piece of debris or something filthy from his lobster/ shrimp plate . Manager arrived acted as if we are at fault for being so disgusted with this visit . I didn't bother ordering dessert at this point . Everything about this was disgusting, nasty , dirty , filthy .

Red lobster has always been known for their quality seafood. Their servings are generous and the prices, do a bit on the steep side, or worth it if you can afford it. For that alone I dropped one star. The day I went I was waiting on by a young man named Jesse. He was prompt, efficient, professional, courteous, friendly and amenable. The roasted veggie dish I had was delivered by another server and it came without sweet potatoes. Within 5 minutes Jesse saw the dish and went back to the kitchen to find out what the problem was. He approached and apologetically told me they had run out of sweet potatoes. He also said they should not have even served it. He offered to deduct it from the bill. What a nice touch. All waiters can use him as a guide on providing great service. Jesse is a rock star in my book. read more

I never write review but this was supposed to be my boyfriends and my anniversary dinner & when he got home the steak was raw & flavorless. We ordered it "medium rare" & I'm sitting here writing this while he re-cooks his steak instead of enjoying our meal. Disclaimer to check your steaks before you leave the restaurant. This makes me scared to try the rest of my food if food can go out of the kitchen in such poor condition. read more

Well well this is the last visit here for sure. Time to find a another. We did the all you can shrimp and it should say all they can limit you too. 15-20 mins to get refills is ridiculous! Then to kinda it off and say I'll go check and see what's going on. This was her bday dinner and boy did they mess that up. No communication between the manager and the waitress at all. Once I spoke to the manager everything was now coming out in doubles. Ridiculous!! Like I said last time here. read more

My best friend and I have been here multiple times. Sure, Red Lobster is a chain restaurant, but I think this sells them a little short because every time we've come the food has been wonderful and the service phenomenal. Tonight I had the wood grilled shrimp skewers and my best friend had the rainbow trout. Both were delicious! And Liz, our server, could not have been sweeter or more attentive. If you are in a seafood mood I would highly recommend Red Lobster! read more

My husband and I went here yesterday 6-4-2021 for our 6 month anniversary. We got here around 230 ish. Service was horrible ! First .... it took 20 minutes to get 2 glasses of water...... then my husband's appetizer was forgotten about, and my order was messed up. The only thing she could keep doing was blaming the kitchen or saying she forgot. This was a huge disappointment considering this was one of the first restaurants we dined in at since everything has started opening back up. She even forgot to take off the appetizer off the Bill since we had declined it since we requested it before dinner but it was never brought. Will NOT be coming back and honestly feel sorry for anyone who gets her as a waitress . Huge waste of our $51 dollars and wish we had gotten a refund. read more

Wanted to take my mom to a classic from the past. It had to be Red Lobster. The menu continues to to be overwhelming and we settled with the Bar Harbor Lobster bake to reminisce on pure and simple seafood from Maine. It was a winner! The loser were the rolls. What happened to those famous iconic rolls? They were soggy, mushy and fell apart. Red Lobster and the rolls go hand-in-hand and it was such a huge disappointment with the roles. read more

We got to go here for my husband's grandma's birthday dinner. Surprisingly enough I had never tried red lobster in my life before. We had a really good time... the food tasted pretty good! For the price of our food, it was amazing really! When they went to seat us the booth they offered us were right under a roof leak... but they were very apologetic and accommodating.

I remembered that the person who gave it to me said "You go out to eat more than me, so here's this gc that was given to me last year" lol umm so I got regifted?? Got here around 7ish and there was a line out the door. Unfortunately, we did not wait at all. There was a spot near the bar that was opened. Let talk about Food. cheddar bay biscuits= cheesy and Salty mussels= Salty Salad= nothing special, croutons were good. Lobster Pizza= Just ok (only thing that wasn't salty) Lobster Feast( 2 lobster tails ( 1 was good 1 was overcooked so rubbery and chewy) Lobster Alfredo= I Had better. Broccoli that was the side was Salty!! Raspberry Lemonade= refreshing and good. I definitely went over my sodium intake lastly night.

Right when you walk in, everyone was friendly and welcoming. It was a busy Saturday evening, but we were seated pretty quickly. Our waitress was also so friendly, and our food came out FAST and piping hot! In our past experiences at other crab boil restaurants, it can take forever just to get a table, let alone get your food. So we really appreciated how quickly everything came out here! Now, THE FOOD! My hubby and I both got the Dungeness crab with the mild Cajun & garlic butter seasoning. It came with potatoes and corn, and we also added a side of rice and the Cajun fries. The seasoning was SO good! It had plenty of flavor without being overly salty. The crab was delicious and cooked perfectly. And those Cajun fries?! They were super crispy and seasoned to perfection! The only thing I would have changed was that we weren't given any crab crackers or tools to help us get into the crab. We actually thought they didn't have any at first. We later asked and were provided with some, but it would have been nice if they were offered or brought out with our gloves and bibs since we ordered crab. Other than that, I really enjoyed our experience! I especially loved that the restaurant has a more relaxed atmosphere compared to some other crab boil spots. The seats were comfortable, the music wasn't extremely loud, and it still had a fun vibe while being quiet enough for us to actually have a conversation. Overall, I'm giving Captain Crab a 10/10! We'll definitely be back!

I was shocked, and frankly, it's an insult in my opinion, that Rudy's is so "cheap" about the bread!

I ordered $315 dollar meal from this location on door dash. It was a nice surprise for my 80 year old mom, my sister, myself and my friend. I've ordered Red Lobster many times before but never had this experience. ( Most times we had ordered from the Arden location that closed- but also this location) I've always given a big thumbs up and love the food. I had to post this because it was a really scary experience. I never have posted before. The lobster was raw and shriveled. My mom, sister and I can't eat it.. my mom's $29 dollar side grilled lobster tail was about the size of 2 shrimps, cold and raw. My grilled lobster tail was covered in onion and tomatoes.. never seen that before.. underneath the ( grilled lobster tail? ) was pink with brown/ black color.. like it was trying to be hidden. I was worried about the fact I took a bite of it. We Just lost 300 dollars on a meal we were excited for . Hard pill to swallow when we work so hard to get some things we enjoy. . On a good note.. the dasher was really good. I tipped him $56 dollars for delivery .. at least that was nice for him. I won't order from this establishment again. I work as a grocery store manager and it's concerning from the temp and the look of the meals about the food safety measures there. Hope tomorrow's meals are cooked decent..be careful! read more

We visited Red Lobster and had a great experience. The restaurant was clean and quiet, and the service was excellent--efficient, with quick refills and fast food delivery. Our server offered my husband an allergy menu, which was very helpful since he has celiac disease. The manager was present, very helpful and kind. We also noticed they have a great happy hour with $5 mixed drinks and other specials, which is a nice bonus if you're looking for a good deal. My husband and I shared the "Create Your Own" meal, choosing a lobster tail, filet mignon (upgraded), and two shrimp scampis. For sides, we got broccoli and a loaded baked potato, and I added a lobster bisque soup. The food was delicious. The filet mignon, cooked medium rare, was perfect, as was the lobster tail. My husband loved the loaded baked potato, and the lobster bisque was yummy. The price was incredible--$57 for a filet mignon, lobster tail, sides, and two shrimp entrees. It's a fantastic deal and perfect for a date night. Highly recommend! read more

I just found out that the employees they are posing as manager goes by the name of Alex. He's an employee not a manager. He's been taking complaints saying that he would fix them and help customers and give them gift cards when they have fucked up in that motherfucker, but yet he's not even a manager he's an employee. I'm talking to him on two occasions about my complaint and now I see why it's not being entered in the computer and the stupid manager. Is there right now she doesn't even care that her employees are holding that managers when they're not managers talking about she can't give up information. Sorry checking to see when your manager will be available to speak to Is not giving out no motherfucking information. That's not their phone number. That's not their address there's nothing personal about that to know when your employee will be in the store at work on the schedule get that motherfucking place together and I will be up there to get my motherfucking money back. read more

This was from a few weeks ago--I forgot to post it! My boyfriend found out I'd never been to Red Lobster before, so we decided to give it a try. The manager was very kind and welcoming. Our waiter though! I believe his name was Dylan. He was attentive, friendly, helped me narrow down my cocktail choice, and was very enthusiastic when we ordered the lobster flatbread as our appetizer as it's his favorite. Honestly--the food was absolutely divine. I can't even remember what we ordered but it was all so delicious. Much better than I expected from a chain restaurant. BUUUT. Our waiter made the experience. I hope their management reads these reviews, because he's the reason we will be back. read more

It had been quite a while since I last visited Red Lobster, but I recently went back to celebrate my birthday with a coupon, and it was a fantastic experience! The food was incredibly fresh and delicious. I had the Cajun shrimp and coconut shrimp, and both were absolutely awesome. To top it off, the chocolate cake was divine. The quality of the food and the overall experience were so good that I will definitely be returning. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great meal! read more

My wife ordered Seaside Shrimp Trio, so she could taste "Three-in-one" shrimps, and I had the shrimp scampi with baked potato on site for dinner today and it was delicious! The biscuits are quite good. They keep it warm for you in a basket. When you are done, they fill it up with some more! Nice! The server was attentive and friendly and food was great! Definitely coming back read more

If your looking for the best clam strips then look no further. We have always had a hard time finding good fried clam strips since moving out to The west coast. Believe it or not, Red Lobster is neck in neck with the back east recipe. The rolls are on point too. read more

I know seafood is expensive. But it should at least be good. Everything is covered is sauces, butter, or fried. Nothing really seems all that fresh. And my table was sticky. Not sure I'll return. read more

Right when you walk in, everyone was friendly and welcoming. It was a busy Saturday evening, but we were seated pretty quickly. Our waitress was also so friendly, and our food came out FAST and piping hot! In our past experiences at other crab boil restaurants, it can take forever just to get a table, let alone get your food. So we really appreciated how quickly everything came out here! Now, THE FOOD! My hubby and I both got the Dungeness crab with the mild Cajun & garlic butter seasoning. It came with potatoes and corn, and we also added a side of rice and the Cajun fries. The seasoning was SO good! It had plenty of flavor without being overly salty. The crab was delicious and cooked perfectly. And those Cajun fries?! They were super crispy and seasoned to perfection! The only thing I would have changed was that we weren't given any crab crackers or tools to help us get into the crab. We actually thought they didn't have any at first. We later asked and were provided with some, but it would have been nice if they were offered or brought out with our gloves and bibs since we ordered crab. Other than that, I really enjoyed our experience! I especially loved that the restaurant has a more relaxed atmosphere compared to some other crab boil spots. The seats were comfortable, the music wasn't extremely loud, and it still had a fun vibe while being quiet enough for us to actually have a conversation. Overall, I'm giving Captain Crab a 10/10! We'll definitely be back!

Q1227 easily became one of my favorite dining experiences in Sacramento…read more We started with the lobster bites and broccolini. The lobster bites came with a lemon wedge and their house Thousand Island sauce, and that sauce was incredible. The combination of the crispy lobster, lemon, and sauce worked perfectly together. The broccolini was also seasoned really well and paired nicely with the grilled lemon. I ordered an Old Fashioned, and it was one of the smoothest I've had. One detail I loved was that they stamped the restaurant's logo into the ice cube. Small touch, but really cool. For my main course, I ordered the Grilled Huli Huli Chicken with a crispy rice cake, pineapple, greens, and a house sauce that completely made the dish. The sweet and tangy flavor paired perfectly with the chicken. Me and my girlfriend also shared the mac and cheese, and honestly, this was one of the best mac and cheeses I've had. It was rich, creamy, well-seasoned, and the breadcrumbs on top added the perfect texture. My girlfriend ordered the braised short rib with garlic mashed potatoes and carrot purée. The short rib was so tender it practically fell apart with a fork. Everything on the plate was delicious. One thing that surprised me was the portion sizes. Everything was very filling, and we ended up taking some food home. By the time dessert came around, we were already pretty full, but there was no way we were skipping it. To finish the night, we shared the Ghirardelli triple chocolate brownie with vanilla ice cream, caramel sauce, and strawberries. It was the perfect way to end the meal. The restaurant was busy and lively, but it never felt crowded. The tables were spaced out really well, so my girlfriend and I could still enjoy our conversation and watch the basketball game. I also appreciated seeing Chef Q and his wife walking around and checking on guests throughout the night. They stopped by tables to see how everyone was enjoying their food, which was a really nice touch. I even had the chance to take a picture with Chef Q before we left, which was super cool. Between the food, service, atmosphere, and attention to detail, this is easily one of the top restaurants I've been to in Sacramento. Definitely worth a visit.

It was a new place for all of them, but I've been here (and the previous location) multiple times. The food has always been good and I enjoy the creative menu. As expected, everyone enjoyed the food this night as well! I had the Beef Wellington, something I rarely see on menus... so when I DO see it, it's usually on my short list. It was excellent. The broccolini was great too (it was the veggie I chose). And... the carrot cake! Bravo! I love a great carrot cake. The unfortunate negative for us? And I hate to even mention this, but it was definitely a thing for us... the musician, whom I LOVED for his talent and music... was just too loud for us. Not sure what to suggest on that. We enjoyed the music, but we couldn't hear anything else. We couldn't hear each other... we couldn't hear the waiter more often than not... the horn (clarinet) just blasted us out. We weren't RIGHT next to him, we were a couple tables away... but the same side of the room as him. In the future, I'll try to be seated further away if I'm with a group that wants to talk. I'll be back... but maybe after I take an ASL course.

So...off we were I ordered the slider and the chicken strip combo...medium. For a fast food place, the chicken was actually fried well...m crunchy, but not dry. The chicken, at medium, had enough kick to linger, but not enough to ruin it for me. If you like it spicier, go for it, but medium was perfect for me. The cheese sticks passed the cheese pull test. I preferred the slider....the sauce and the kale slaw was actually a good temper for the spice. If I return, I will happily be satisfied with the two slider meal. The only "meh" item were the cheese fries... unimpressive fries with a liquid cheese sauce. If I return, I may get Mac and cheese. For a fast food-ish meal, or quick service restaurant version of Nashville hot chicken, I'd say Dave's passes the test
