Best part about red lobster anymore are the biscuits.. For some reason all red lobster seem to be kind of going downhill I remember back in the day where that was one of the best places to eat at this location is nice and clean friendly staff but it just seems like the food is so so read more

Everyone was nice from the moment you walked in the door. The wait was short and the waitress was on point. The food was delicious. The prices where not bad at all. I even got to earn points for my payment. I left there feeling very satisfied. I loved it. read more

Hadn't been to RL in awhile. We were seated quickly and server was right there to take our orders. I had butterfly shrimp with baked potato and a salad. Food was very good and their biscuits are awesome! I think they are somewhat pricey considering they are a chain. The only negative i have is the somewhat fishy smell that greets one on entry. read more

Here now. There is a 10-15 minute wait even though half of the tables are empty. All because they don't have enough servers. So, the customers have to suffer because this restaurant doesn't know how to staff their establishment. Never coming back if this is what we have to endure. RIDICULOUS read more

Very good food. Quick service. Great lunch special. Terry was an awesome server. No complaints whatsoever.

Fried scallops & shrimp made a yummy lunch. Blue cheese salad dressing excrlkent too. Cheese bisquits always great.

The food I can't complain and nevertheless the waiters service. We were a group of 12 people w/ kids, meaning we were the ones waiters avoided lol. Seating was pretty fast for a Saturday evening and the appetizer came rather quickly. I didn't like the fried calamari (salty the most). On the other hand, me and wifey got the lobster and shrimp and they were excellent. In summary, expect really nice people and really good food for a nice price. read more

Took my wife out for a congratulatory dinner as she had Red Lobster once before out of town and it was ok. The horrible appetizer should have been the forewarning that the rest of the meal would be sub-standard. But, it was the wife's dinner and too late to walk out the door. The entree wasn't horrible, but it wasn't memorable either. Tolerable. That's the word. The side dish was so dry and horrible tasting that we didn't eat it. Disgusted, we took our lumps, and left. Please take our advise and seek out better restaurants where the chefs personally care about every item that leaves the kitchen. read more

My coworkers wanted to go out for lunch & chose Red Lobster. I had not been to a Red Lobster in probably 20 years. I ordered off the lunch menu & asked for shrimp scampi. It came with cheddar rolls, mashed potatoes, & a salad. The cheddar rolls were very good. I hear that's what Red Lobster is known for. That makes sense because I can't imagine they're known for their seafood. I received a tiny little dish with 6 small shrimp swimming in melted butter. And I mean tiny shrimp! The meal cost was $9.49! The flavor of the shrimp dish was way below what I expected. Most of all, I can't get over how small the shrimp were & how few I received & how much they charged. Meanwhile the mashed potatoes were overly salted. The salad was decent, & as mentioned the cheddar biscuit tasted fine. I would have felt better about the price of the meal if I had received at least 12 of their small shrimp. Good grief...in the grocery store I can buy a pound of similar size shrimp for $5.99. Sadly the quality of the meal was way below average & the price of the meal was way overpriced. So many other seafood restaurants in the area give you much better tasting shrimp & a greater amount for the money. I doubt I'll be back again. read more

Always great customer service at this location! The waiter/waitress brings out their biscuits quickly and keeps our drinks full. They have awesome shrimp and salmon dishes. Can't say I'm a lobster fan for someone who is going to Red "Lobster", but all the dishes I've had from here have been pretty good. read more

Went there for dinner on Sat, the service was slow and impersonal. Did not get our bread until our food came. Ordered the 4 course meal, but he brought out the soup and salad at the same time. The clam chowder didn't have clams. Had to wait on getting drink refills, and more bread. read more

Save your money! Go to guppys on the beach. The food was bland and generic. None of the food had any flavor. Our utensils and glasses were dirty with dried food on them. Red lobster is kinda pricey for really cheap tasting food. For the price ,you could go somewhere nice. It tasted like Golden Corral, but instead of going through the line, they bring you the food. Save your money! read more

I am rating red lobster in clearwater based on the service. The poor service started with the greeter making many people wait when there were empty tables everywhere. Then when you are waiting at the bar they can't transfer your bar bill to the table?.. Then I get a glass with a big crack and the waitress wouldn't touch it. We waited and waited then took it to the bar to get a replacement then had to wait for the manager to come over, not with replacement just to check my story.?.. The place has a funky smell but the food is ok. Too many other good resturants to go to a place with bad service. read more

The kitchen and wait staff were so loud we couldn't hear ourselves talk. The food was ok.

Came to Red Lobster, hoping to enjoy crab fest. The crab linguine tasted like it had gravel in it. And the broccoli was not good. Very sad! First manager came didn't offer anything but a small dessert. Second manager came by and offered to make things right, which should have been done the first time. read more

Fav good food and filled me up all the way totally will come back no hair in food the serve your birthday cake and make your food right away

Shrimp is always the best and so is the bread.....Endless shrimp deal tonight and the waitress was not shy about asking if we wanted more...

Terrible on every level. Food was mediocre at best, service was terrible. Had to get up 4 times to fetch the waitress (I was nice about it, not bitchy) because she never brought out drinks, appetizers, silverware, I actually had to tap her on the shoulder while she was in the server's station adjacent to the kitchen. Every time we go there it's bad service, loud, filthy surroundings and I feel like they don't care at all. The one that was in Largo was just as bad. read more

I was seated with my boyfriend and took over an hour to get service and it was not busy at all. I work in the restaurant business and this was very poor service skills. If you can't manage your tables/ sections as a server then you should in fact not be one! I will never eat here again. Someone shouldn't have to wait over an hour to be greeted at their table. If you wanna poor service then by all means eat here. But as a customer I am paying for exceptional service and I did not receive this here. read more

I love seafood and I came here last minute for dinner. I have worked in the food industry many times. I look out for good service. We had a Waitress named Allison and she was exceptional. I never had to ask for a refill, she told me that she felt I didn't have enough crab legs that it looked bare and that she had more coming out. She was very professional and a hard worker. read more

This is sad. What has happened to this place. Your charging 28. You can't change the rice pilaph out for anythin. It comes out ice cold with crab juice. Just terrible. I have lobster and crab no butter warmer. 1 lemon . Server was OK but the food was terrible under cooked and cold. Exempt the shrimp scampi it was hot. So disappointing. Very over priced should have drove to the beach. Whoever let this plate come out should be ashamed. You left the crab poop on it. Awful and I see 2 mangers yapping at the bar. People behind me are not happy either. Get it together red lobster where are your standards. read more

Its a chain but a good one. The food is pretty fresh and the service is mediocre. The last time our server was horrible but aside from that its generally pretty good. I love the crab pasta and the rolls so we will always come back which is what Darden banks on. read more

You can really taste the corn syrup in the sprite. Not that much of a variety when it comes to desert. It took about 15 minutes for food to get here, popcorn shrimp is good. Fries are alright and the bake potato was ok. read more

It's taken me a few days of still missing the $60 wasted on the nasty dinner we had to write review. We were both so hungry and excited to get the grilled Maine lobster tail and shrimp dinner. I ordered a side salad with my dinner. The biscuits came out and of course those are delicious and that is why there is two stars. The salad and our dinners came out at the same time. I was told that corporate had been there and the kitchen is sending all the food out quickly now. I let it go because I figured I'd just eat the salad afterwards. Started to eat the Lobster and the shrimp and I looked over and my daughter was making a face also. Nothing tasted right. Lobster had a weird taste to it and the shrimp still had the shells completely on it. Neither of us ate anything. I feel like I threw $60 away. I don't know what that was or no one even came by to see if dinner was any good. Never again. And I really hate leaving bad reviews. read more

The food was very good, fresh and tasty. The service was not great, we had to wait about 10 minutes just to get our check

I enjoy eating at red lobster. My favorite is the garlic shrimp scampi. I also like how the salads come with the meal and it is not ala cart. read more

I have been dreaming about eating at Red Lobster since I heard about the Endless Shrimp promotion. I was looking forward to tasting hand breaded Shrimp and the new Habanero shrimp bites. And my wife was ready to try the Shrimp Scampi. We arrived at 4:54 pm on Sunday the 13th of September. We were promptly seated by Bob a 33 year employee at Red Lobster. At 5:22 pm, we had no interaction or acknowledgement from the wait staff. At this point, I declared this experience ruined by ENDLESS STUPIDITY!!!!!!! we attempted to find someone to help, but were completely ignored. We decided to go to Cody's (located in the same parking lot). WOW! What a great experience. We were seated and had drinks in less than five minutes. We had a very relaxing and enjoyable dinner. I will never know if Red Lobster has good food, because I will not be coming back. read more

was unhappy when went for lunch the traditional fish was replaced with pub fish,,greasy no good get the old one back 3 star,,,this store used to be in the top 3 in the country on volume sales...the new items a few are ok but people traditionally came for the old tyme fish entrees ,, I think the millennials r&d people have led the new owners astray read more

I always had a love for Red Lobsters since childhood. This location has the best food and I am always satisfied with the staff and the food portions are the best. I leave with left over food in hand every single time and lets not forget about their signature biscuits! read more

Went here once - hadn't been in years. Everything had a bland taste - I really don't believe any of the seafood was fresh. So many better choices in the area. Will not go back. read more

Service sucked we walked in and the hostesses were ignoring us to carry on with their conversation. It took over 5 minutes for the waitress to come take our drink orders and it took again over 5 minutes for me to get a water with lemon and my bf a beer. Biscuits were good but not fresh. The waitress was not very tentative. She did not ask if my bf wanted another drink when he was finished with his . and the salmon was not cooked right when we received our dinner my shrimp was also warm like it was sitting for a while. It took the waitress 10 minutes to realize the salmon plate was at the end of the table and wen the manager came to confront us about the dinner he kept making excuses. I will not be returning back to this location.... read more

Went on a Thursday night. 6:45, under 10 minute wait. Server Lisa D. was wonderful! We had seafood mushrooms and calamari to start. Delicious. We had the admirals platter, stuffed flounder with coconut shrimp, shrimp with pasta, steak and broiled shrimp. Mashed potatoes, green beans with mushrooms. Lisa kept us well stocked on cheddar biscuits which were served hot and delicious! Every single one of our dishes were cooked to perfection. The only negative was the mashed potatoes had way to much pepper...still good. We will be back for sure! read more

This location is great! They were open after hurricane Irma and served delicious, hot food to those of us without power. All the staff were friendly and ready to serve. Much appreciated after the long days leading up to the storm. Will recommend their service any time! read more

Good soup and salad. Seafood tastes frozen and swamped in butter

We had not been there in a couple of years and it was great as it always has been. I had Scallops with Rice Plaf and Broccoli and it was delicious. The salad was great as always and the biscuits were also.My wife had steak with shrimp with baked potato and all was.perfect. The service was very quick and friendly. We went about 5:00 on Sunday and they were not busy at all read more

Seat was fast, food was ok, customer service no so great!!! Many mistakes, will try a different place instead.

I love Red Lobster normally, but this past weekend it was awful. Our server pushed hard for alcohol and when we didn't order any she deprioritized us. There was also 20+ minutes between courses. When we got dessert our ice cream was melted. read more
