Not overly impressive ... average servings and flavor for a seafood restaurant. Clean and neat.

Well worth the wait! My family and I went Sunday night for all you can eat shrimp, it was very busy so the wait wasn't too bad but the food and service completely made up for it. The hostess was so kind and polite helping get us a handicap friendly table , thank you for being so kind and professional Kevin! Then we had literally the worlds best waitress Liz she was prompt kind knowledgeable very proactive, even before my son could beg me for another drink she was setting one down for him, she is so thoughtful and efficient. The all you can eat shrimp is the best love love the coconut shrimp and the shrimp scampi. Amazing experience will definitely come back great great job liz and Kevin. read more

I have been saving up for about 2 months to take my family of 5 to a decent restaurant. They all chose Red lobster because they have not been there. It took a little longer than usual to get our orders placed but that part is OK. Half of us ordered endless shrimp because it was advertised for 20 bucks, when come to find out its almost 30 now. This is also OK. What is not OK, is being there for 2 hours and not getting ANY refills for the shrimp! This was the very worst service I have ever seen in my life. Thank you for steeling our money and ruining our family dinner night. I actually came home and ate chief boy ravioli out of a can. Please don't go to this restaurant!​ read more

This was my first time coming here I really enjoyed it I'm not a big fan of seafood or anything I can eat a couple shrimp thats about it, but my boyfriend does likes seafood and so we wanted to come here for dinner and try something different. The food was really good I got the half size of the shrimp linguine it was so yummy and creamy and my boyfriend got the dragon fly shrimp he loved it the biscuits are so yummy. They do have options to if you are not a big seafood person. Service was pretty good only like a 10 minute wait when we got there. Will definitely come back in the future. read more

I was at Red Lobster on a Saturday night. The food good the service was great. Great location.

Very delicious food! Our sever was an older white gentleman named Rocky J! His customer service was excellent. We are very happy & full. This is our first time eating here, and we are impressed. The biscuits were my favorite part of the meal. They are fluffy and seasoned! Dinner for two for $70 is not a bad deal! Thank you Rocky for a great service ! read more

Red Lobster - Yummy yummy - Seafood Near Me - Citrus Heights, California

Waited over an hour for our food. My husband ordered coffee, they had none made so he waited 15 minutes on coffee. Waiter was very neglectful. We waited some time for a refill. When we did get our food, it was wrong. I ask for cocktail sauce, waiter never returned with it or at all until we were almost finished. Needless to say, we will not be back. They thought if they gave us a bag of cheddar biscuits it would make our experience better. It did not!! My brother-in- law is the manager at upstate New York Red Lobster. I think he would have handled it differently! read more

Stephen made my wife and me feel truly blessed to eat here this evening. It was like we, the peasants, were being waited on by a King! The level of service we received was Top Notch!! Took his time to educate us on the menu, made sure our food order was correct and that we were happy with it after receiving it. His runner Diego was on top of the refills and several other dishes that we ordered. You simply could not ask for a better restaurant experience. Stay blessed King! Don't forget the little people when you make it... it's on the way! read more

We came here for the endless shrimp especially for the grilled shrimp skewer. The waiter told us that specifically that for the endless shrimp deal they "don't have that shrimp" (even thought it's right on the menu under endless shrimp) but you can get the grilled shrimp in a separate meal not part of the endless shrimp deal since they are low on shrimp for the next two weeks. That defeats the whole purpose of the deal and they want you to pay 50$ for a separate meal to get the grilled shrimp. I don't get how you don't stock up on shrimp when you know there's an endless shrimp deal going on. The waiter (Alicia) was also very rude and kept talking back saying they don't have the shrimp for the deal. Very disappointed in the service and selection. read more

Love the food! Our server was the best! All her suggestions did not disappoint us. She gave chocolate cake to my son to go and I think that is so sweet. My son said it was the best chocolate cake he had tried so far. We will come back for sure! read more

We ate here yesterday, and it was just ok. They refused to take reservations for dinner. They told our friends that were treating us to just "come at 4:00 if you want dinner at 5:00." The only distancing we saw was at the bar, the dinning room was full. The air conditioning seemed to be off, it was hot and the air was still in the dinning area. The staff did wear masks, and were courteous. Some menu items have changed, sadly, we couldn't get the pastas in the 1/2 order sizes. I couldn't see ordering a full order of the pasta I wanted. The price of it was up to $27.00, and I wouldn't be able to eat it all. read more

Attentive serving staff. Have affordable daily specials. Staff member manning the check-in desk, friendly but sloppily dressed.

I have been living here for 5 years and I have been to many seafood places and Red Lobster is my favorite. As I walked into the place I felt excited and ready to eat the lobster. Red lobster is my favorite because the moment I got my food I was so excited to start eating. It really was better than I expected it to be. It was well cooked, the seasoning was perfect and it was soft and delicious. The prices were really good and my meal ended up being only 9.99 dollars! The price was really good for how good the food was. It was soft and well seasoned. Boiled crab is a little expensive compared to other seafood restaurants, so I do prefer Red Lobster because it is faster and less expensive. Even though both serve really good food, there is a difference in both, such as the price and the time to get the food. read more

It's been 12 years since I was last in a Red Lobster. I remember it clearly .. I took my son and two cousins to Magic Mountain for their 16th birthdays; they wanted to eat at Red Lobster. On a cool calm evening a few evenings ago, my wife wanted pizza. She drove and apparently changed her mind on the way. I'm not thrilled with large chain restaurants (how many times have you read that in reviews?). I was thrilled, however, to get ahold of those Cheddar Bay Biscuits, at 160 calories a pop. As we walked in, she mentioned she really wanted a salad. Our waiter had a man-bun. He brought a basket of the delicious cheesy herby biscuits immediately. Caesar is the only salad option, other than a side garden salad. She went for the wood grilled shrimp skewers from the lighter menu and changed up for the roasted brussel sprouts. Side garden salad. I should have evaluated the description a little more carefully before ordering the Wood Grilled Shrimp Tacos (also with rice pilaf and a side salad). The tacos, along with 3 small shrimp each, included slaw (pretty much just cabbage), jalapeno ranch (which I think was actually a creamy chipotle dressing), pico de gallo and cilantro. Less "slaw" and less "jalapeno ranch". Both of these took away from the flavors of the shrimp, pico, and cilantro. The prominent flavor was that damn dressing on the taco. The tortillas were grilled, not fried or nuked. I tried to clean one up and swiped two shrimp from my wife's plate - much better. Order without this dressing or at least on the side. Get lime too. No complaints from the other side of the table. Sprouts a bit chewy. We both thought the rice pilaf was pretty good. Our waiter had a man-bun. Service was attentive... rehearsed, but good. read more

My boyfriend and I really enjoyed our time at Red Lobster. We were there to celebrate his birthday. We were fortunate enough to get Traci as our waitress. She went above and beyond, and was so attentive to our needs. The food was great, and we had a good time. Thank you, Traci. Happy Birthday this coming Sunday! read more

I usually don't like to bother with chain restaurants but I was really craving seafood for some strange reason . I never crave seafood nor do I often go to red lobster . My best friend who works at a chain restaurant warned me that the restaurant she serves at , doesn't serve fresh food and they microwave everything to make wait time quicker . I wonder if this goes for all chain restaurants because the food I had today here at Red Lobster not only came out super fast , but tasted like freezer burn , didn't seem fresh , and was extremely salty . Our server Elizabeth wasn't very attentive and we felt rushed and forced to order right away . It just wasn't a great experience and I don't think I'll ever be back . read more

I have always counted on Red Lobster for good food, great service and generally have felt that it was money somewhat well spent for a dining experience. Not this time. Recently took a friend out for a nice early dinner and the whole experience had changed. First off, it was as though it was closed. 2 tables besides us. After being seated we ordered and were told that they don't have any salad, just ran out and that earlier during the day they had no baked potatoes, but they do now. Ok, no salad. Food arrived very cold approximately 50-60 minutes later and the baked potato was served with the butter on top of the sour cream. My food lacked that Red Lobster quality, the breading was off and the scallops and clams, well you couldn't tell which was which. The entire experience was lacking. Employees standing around doing nothing in groups and now I can't even get enough attention to pay the check. $140.00 my oh my for what was a lousy meal. I hope the business on Sunrise as well as all Red Lobsters makes it through what ever crises that they are going through. The tough economic times force me to say no more Red Lobster for a bit because it was substandard and that is sad because they once were so dependable. read more

My first time here at Red Lobster tonight with some coworkers and we really enjoyed the experience. The hostess was friendly. Our server was efficient, friendly, and patient with how indecisive we can get. The wait was only about 15 minutes for our party of 6 at 4pm arrival. The blended drinks were delicious, pretty, and presentable. They started us off with some biscuits and butter (hot, fresh, and delish!) For appetizers, we got the jumbo coconut shrimp that everyone raves about and all the raving is true! These little bad boys were delicious with the pina colada dipping sauce. For my entree, I ordered the Trio Shrimp which came with shrimp linguini alfredo, garlic butter shrimp scampi, breaded/fried shrimp pieces, and a side of your choice (I chose broccoli). Every bit of my entree was delicious and tasty. I am now a Red Lobster fan! read more

Maybe I'm white trash. Or beige trash, anyway. But I love Red Lobster. For my birthday, I got to pick ANY restaurant I wanted for dinner. ANY. I tried to come up with a classy, fun, interesting choice. But who am I kidding? I once asked my husband to cancel a romantic 5-star gourmet Valentine's dinner at a winery because I found a Bob's Big Boy nearby. I make no attempts to cover up who I am! Screw it...I wanted Red Lobster!! Why, you ask? Here's the simple answer: cheese biscuits and cheap crab. DING DING! The FastPass to Christy's 5-star list! I am a crab fiend. I love it...and luckily for me, I actually PREFER the cheap option: snow crab. It's like candy. And RL is one of the few places you can get good snow crab all the time. It's always cooked well (not overlooked like a crab shack that shall not be named), and for a fraction of the price of most places. Plus, you get to eat unlimited cheddar biscuits, which are amazing on their own. Add in great signature cocktails, yummy appetizers like coconut shrimp (the best I've ever had) and lobster dip- and you have a happy girl. Service is always great here, and I always leave happy. Be prepared to wait most nights, but you can usually find a table in the bar to ease the pain. I'm not ashamed! I'm a cheap date and proud of it! read more

Arrived about 2:30 this afternoon seated immediately as expected during this time of day. My frail friend, an obvious cancer patient and nearly bald, and I were seated in a booth about as far away as you could get from the front door. I know certain sections are assigned according to waitstaff, but still... She ordered the huge crab fest meal, was very happy with it and took most home to enjoy for the next two days. I ordered from the lunch menu. Broiled bay scallops, shrimp scampi, baked potato, Caesar salad. I had to send the scallops back as they were pretty raw and very fishy. Sure enough, I became very ill that night and vomited my entire meal, at least four times to the bathroom. I only ate about three of the tiny scallops, but I'm sure that's the culprit. I've had food poisoning before so know what it's like. My dear friend treated me to this meal as a Thank You for helping her through her cancer journey. This dear lady lives paycheck-to-paycheck and has been through HELL all this year. The very least I expect is a full refund to her. thedemys@gmail.com read more

So I went in on Monday for endless shrimp.. what a mistake! Ordered shrimp skewer and shrimp scampi.. food runner comes out with a plate with one skewer on it..no other food. I had no other food yet. Very weird. Shrimp smelled funny but I took a bite anyway. It was mushy like mashed potatoes I spit it out scampi came out. Smelled fishy even thru the scampi sauce. Obviously old shrimp. Asked for manager. All he said was do you want another plate? Umm. I said I guess because these are definitely not fresh! More came out.. still terrible. Mashed potatoes were like paste. Terrible dining experience. Manager never came over to see if everything was okay.. never took anything off bill.. nothing!! Wait staff was nice but got sick when I got home! I used to love this location... I'll never go back!! So disappointed!! read more

First of all they took way to long to answer the phone..then after we got home we realized that they shorted our order by one whole meal.since we live bout 30 mins away .....it was a real bummer.after we ate it ....realized it probably was a good thing cause it was pretty crappy for the price.way to greasy and kinda bla ......would be a long time b4 even considering a return trip ! read more

I have been going to this same Red Lobster since I was a kid. I love the food here and it is always consistent. The service is great and I wouldn't change a thing about the atmosphere. I would of gave it a 5 but they have those annoying table top pay machines that I hate. read more

we decided to enjoy dinner at red lobster om sunrise we arrived at 8:30 knowing they close at 10pm. plenty of time to enjoy a meal and dessert and leave before closing. wrong although there were numerous diners & available booths near them - we got seated next to kitchen -not going to let it bother us. soon our hopes for an enjoyable meal were no more. barely received the menus our waitress rudely insisted we decided. everything camr out at once w/the appetizer. the lobster bake smelled rotten not her problem talk to manager - really!! ty manager for untainted lobster. we try to get dessert i even shouted i'll take it to go into the kitchen landed on deaf ears only reason 2 & not 0 was manager read more

After a mistake with the order online robot, I was helped by Emily who showed great patient in making sure my order was corrected. The food is and has always been top notch. We ordered the family feast meal and was pleasantly surprised by the quantity and quality (garlic smell) of the linguini and scampi. Staff did their best to accommodate the large impatient crowd. Thank you for the wonderful meal and look forward to seeing you again. read more

My husband and I were craving seafood really bad. We came in today around 2:30pm with our two young boys. I ordered the lobster bake and my husband ordered the steak and shrimp skewers. The food was great as always however our service was exceptional! My husband is covered head to toe with tattoos and needless to say we sometimes get treated as if we're second class citizens ready to leave without paying. Mandy not only treated us with respect but gave us such great service! My husbands steak and shrimp first came without his skewer and we could tell Mandy was genuinely apologetic and continued to make sure we had everything we needed. Our bill was 74 something and we ended up just leaving her the whole 100 bill. Will surely be back. read more

A shame this place doesn't take reservations because they really seem like they need it. Got here just after 6 on a Friday evening and the wait was about 30 minutes. Others coming in after us were told it was a 45 minute wait. Ouch! Had the Parmesan-Crusted Tilapia which was pretty good. The biscuits are exquisite! read more

I dine here about once every 2 months to meet up with my cousin for our regular affordable seafood fix. I consistently receive friendly and good service from the wait staff (shout-out to Rocky!). However, the dishes are a hit/miss. For example, on my most recent visit I ordered the Lobster Lovers Dream. Only the broccoli was slightly over-cooked, the lobster, shrimp and pasta were cooked well. My cousin ordered the Dueling Lobster Tails, and I was jealous. Overall, I enjoyed my meal. I will continue to come here, but if there are any other restaurants serving seafood at competitive prices - Red Lobster could lose some regulars....just sayin. read more

If you love lobster or shrimp you can't beat this restaurant for a great meal. Their was really not much of a wait and the waitress was very nice. We ordered two really yummy drinks and paired with their famous biscuits, our dinner began. The salad, main meal and our side came and I began wondering if more ppl were going to join us. Fabulous lobster, the shrimp scampi was great as were the sides we both ordered. Enough left over for the following nights dinner. Thank you to the Red Lobster family you do it right! read more

Overpriced poor quality. I was blown away how many people were there to eat when we were leaving but it's prob because there aren't a lot of places nearby . Rubbery seafood. Waiter was nice he asked if I wanted everything in my potato.. I said sure .. got a additional $3.00 up charge on my bill for a potato that wasn't even edible just full of bacon bits ... didn't realize I was being charged extra for it . Will never eat here again this place is dated and needs to be shut down . read more

After a fun day at Scandia, I was starved. We were seated within 15 minutes. I decided to order a raspberry lemonade which was actually quite weak and didn't have much flavor, so I replaced it with a Coke which hit the spot. To start, we shared the lobster and artichoke dip. It was served with tortilla chips and the dip was delicious. Plenty of chunks of lobster, artichokes, and spinach in a creamy sauce. it tasted even better with the chips. Next, I had a cup of the creamy potato bacon soup which I felt could have been a lot better. The soup was overly thick and all I could taste were the huge chunks of potato and no bacon. The cheddar bay biscuits were finally brought out with the soups and salads which was a little strange because I remember that the bread was usually the first thing that you get at your table. My entree was the shrimp Alfredo linguini which wasn't all that great. The noodles were sticking to each other and looked as if they were just thrown on my plate and soaked with sauce. The little shrimps looked as if they had just been tossed on top with no real presentation. I won't be back to Red Lobster for a while. The food was mediocre and our waitress was a little spotty with her service. I'll go elsewhere. read more

We went in for bottomless shrimp, and we got served by a waiter named Rocky and he was very helpful, making sure that we were constantly getting shrimp and even went above and beyond by getting us extra plates of shrimp. We ended up eating 460 between 4 of us, and it was fueled all the way by Rocky's great service. Thanks Rocky! If you go for shrimp, ask for Rocky. read more

I normally have good service at Red Lobster; however today it was HORRIBLE!! I watched my waiter walk by me twice after I was seated and never greeted me till I asked another service for a soda. I got the vibe when he finally came by my table 15 minutes later to take my order I was imposing on his time . I decided to cancel my meal and pay for the drink and take my business elsewhere. read more

Not bad everything is okay! I'm not sure why they have a lot negative reviews but for me lol it's fine Maybe just a service to slow. But other than that it's FINE. Lol ohh wait NO the Oysters I ordered Oysters and it looks not FRESH you'll see on the picture. :) read more

We're a victim of TV commercials. We saw a great deal advertised for Red Lobster and were sold. Dinner for 2 for $29.99. 2 salads, 2 entrees, your choice of an appetizer or dessert, and of course-- unlimited Cheddar Bay Biscuits. This location, you enter where Buffalo Wild Wings is. I drove past it thinking there would be an entrance where Red Lobster is and this is not true.. Buffalo Wild Wings is it. Upon entering, there's a live lobster tank across the hostess stand. They were busier than I expected for a weeknight. It's dim. We were seated within minutes. I thought our server was a little awkward but it didn't impede on service. She was nice and everything was very timely. Our food was good. A lot of it was rich, though. The cheese biscuits people rave about are fluffy and more buttery to me than cheesy. The only thing I won't have again here is the key lime pie. It's pure sugar and between the two of us eating it, we didn't finish it nor did we want to take it home. However, we did take our leftover entrees. Our server packed it up for us, in front of us and it was my lunch the next day. I didn't expect much of the Red Lobster and ended up finding it wasn't too shabby at all. read more
