i asked for a sprite and it was ungodly disgusting and disgraceful to the red lobster franchise do not go here unless you want and unsweetened nasty gross horrifically horrible tasting sprite. read more

Rogue wave is an absolutely refreshing drink. Recommend it. I got the blackened wood grilled salmon from the fresh catch menu. It was cooked well and had balanced seasoning. I got the creamy lobster mashed potato as a side. It was yummy! Id definitely go back to try other items on their menu. read more

Delicious! What a wonderful experience my family had here. We went for Fathers Day and mine and my husbands food was so good. We got a couple apps, hubby got Bar Harbor Lobster Bake, I had Nashville Hot Shrimp and they were both so good. It was the first time we ever took our 2 year old and she loved the crayons to color with the tabletop tablet with games kept her entertained. The cheddar biscuits were hot and fresh. This was the first time we had ate out since the Pandemic and we were impressed how clean and organized everything was. From the hostess that greeted us outside, to our waitress, the service was great too. Thank you so much for a memorable Fathers Day meal. read more

I love Red Lobster because I know what I'm getting and they're pretty consistent. I love drawn clarified butter on everything Damnit! I dip the biscuits in it, the salmon, the lobster, the veggies and almost dipped a napkin, I'm greedy like that! I had lobster shrimp and salmon and it was fresh, hot and cooked just they way I asked. They also have good flavored cocktails but naw give me a shot.... Listen to what I said, take it in a shot because the drinks are too hit or miss but a shot is what it is, a shot!!! They took away some things from the menu but they added some new items as well. No more broccoli but the fried broccoli was never fully cooked all the way through the batter was always crispy on the outside but wet in middle. But do try the Brussels sprouts with the teriyaki sauce and fried onions they are Delicious!!!! My server was great and I have no complaints this time. So check out the Georgesville restaurant when in Columbus Ohio because I personally think it's the best! read more

Sunday evening. Seated right when we entered. Was nice not having to wait. Server was friendly and drinks were refreshing. I ordered the dragon shrimp dish. I feel like the food was good but not good for the costs they list the items for. The buns and salads were fresh. Table enjoyed that! Most of the dishes I saw I would love to get just for the actual item but the prices they list such items made them less of a want for the actual value. Good venue. Clean. Had a fruit fly problem. Always ended up in our drinks. Had to cover with napkins. read more

Food was ok kind of bland. What really upset me was I ordered a glass of white wine during happy hour. Menu listed price of $4 and I was charged $7.69!! I questioned waitress but she couldn't get it changed. I feel like I've been ripped off!! read more

Red Lobster has just lost it's touch all around. This use to be my go-to place. I am so extremely disappointed in this visit. Me and my boyfriend came here and spent nearly 100 bucks, for a pathetic date. I got crab legs and almost all of them only had half the meat in it (not a meaty crab) which I paid nearly 30 bucks for. It just disgusted me how much money I was dropping and only receiving half it's worth. Not only was it not a meaty grab, but it was overcooked. I had to SCRAPE what little crab meat I got. My sides were overcooked. We did not get any refills on our drinks the whole meal. The only thing that was half decent, was my boyfriend ordered a Sunrise Passion Colada. However, you could tell there was hardly any alcohol in it because it tasted virgin. Dropped 7 bucks on that. Our waiter was nice, but not very attentive. I recommend either going to a completely different Red Lobster and hope for the best, or go find seafood elsewhere! Overall: Food: 1/5 Atmosphere: 3/5 Service: 2/5 Alcoholic Beverage: 3/5 Prices: 1/5 (overpriced for what you get) I will not be coming back and will highly recommend others to stay away. If a manager decides to reach out to me, I will update my review (not my rating). This was just absolutely a terrible experience, and poor execution of everything! read more

Zero stars if I could... Worst experience I've ever had at a restaurant. No bartender and extremely dirty. Asked for water and got a used glass filled with seeds.. the bar was filthy and sticky. I got my food before my bar drinks. Per the comment on my review, I contacted Red Lobster Corp a week ago and heard NO response!! read more

Do not park your vehicle in the back lot. Our truck was broken into there within 15 mins of arrival. The manager started he knew there is a problem, yet; no posted signs to warn people. read more

Beth the bartender has two speeds. Slow and I don't care. She never once asked me if I needed anything wanted anything I had to tell her that I was ready. Never once did she smile. To say anything at all seemed to be a chore. I assume the people in plainclothes our managers that that's what you want to call them. Yelling and laughing and tossing water over the place in Plainview of the customers. The loud inappropriate talking amongst the servers is ridiculous. And I'm bothered by the cleanliness or lack there of. This is certainly not the same place that I visited last year. It's now completely sad and disgusting. I've never seen a bunch of people just don't care. read more

I had time to kill at 2:00 in the afternoon, I was hungry, and I received an email about a $10 lobster taco lunch deal. I actually ordered the shrimp tacos (cheaper at $7.99 and this price is good until 3:00) because I am more of a shrimp girl than lobster. They came with rice pilaf and were very good. The cheesy biscuits are so wonderful, light and I ate all 3 of them. A glass of Reisling hit the spot too. Good food, good service and at that time of day, it was quiet. What's not to like? read more

My wife and I visited this location with some friends for one of their birthdays. The wait was decent and we were stuffed into a bar booth. It took the waitress 10 minutes to get our drink orders. She said "We didn't think it would be this busy tonight." To me that is akin to saying "Your meal is gonna suck tonight, but we are short staffed so it is ok." The food was undercooked and our orders were not right. The mixed veggies were made up of hot zucchini and summer squash and cold tomatoes... yucky. I drink diet pop because of diabetes and when asking for refills I politely reminded her. Twice she brought regular. Spoke to manager. Situation was rectified. read more

The food and service were outstanding so the two star may be unfair. My issue came in being able to get seated and the hostess stand. We were given a buzzer and sat immediately outside the door to wait. After 40 minutes, I came in to check on status and was told "we buzzed you - clearly you sat in your car". Nope - immediately outside your window. "Well we buzzed TWICE and called your name. You didn't show so you don't have a seat". I again reiterated that we were outside and did NOT get buzzed and then said I would go elsewhere. Answer from hostess was "fine by me". Thanks Red Lobster. I see our business is important to you. read more

Not a big seafood fan, but stopped in here the other night for dinner with my Mom. I believe this is one of the few RL that is still within the Columbus area. The place was busy for a Thursday night. We were quickly seated when we arrived. The waitress was very attentive with everything. Mom had her shrimp plate where I had chicken (not a seafood person at all). Overall the food and service was good here. read more

I'm pretty sure our waitress forgot about us. She came by originally apologizing for our wait, and took our drink order. Then we waited for 10-15 more minutes before we finally decided to just leave. The hostess apologized and offered to get us a new waitress but we were ready to go by then. read more

Really great service. I ordered the fish and chips and unfortunately the fish was very very dry. So dry I had to use too much cocktail sauce to give it some taste and flavor. My wife ordered the Cajun chicken linguini and she loved it. Those rolls are amazing. I'll try something new next time. read more

Great service at this Red Lobster. Thanks, Brandy! Haven't been to a Red Lobater in awhile. My hubbie ordered the Bay Harbor Lobster Bake which was new to us and definitely a winner! read more

Food was prepared well and delivered in good time. Our server was very nice and there wasn't much of a wait time. The negative part of our experience is that we were sat near the servers station and there was a server named Jessica who continually was using profanity and saying "I do what I want". I understand that she probably didn't think any customers could hear her but our table certainly could. If I had children with me or my grandmother I would have been very displeased. Definitely not a professional set up at the servers station here. In the future we will try other locations. read more

Well its better than Long John Silver. But its getting typical fare... I'd suggest changing it up a little. Okay a lot. read more

Today we celebrated our 36th wedding anniversary. We decided to go to red lobster. The waitress asked if it was a special occasion and we explained. A few minutes later, the manager came over and wished us a happy anniversary. As we were finishing our dinner, the waitress notified is that dessert was on them! We had a beautiful evening there, the food was excellent and the little extra treatment was fantastic. Thank you red lobster for making our anniversary extra special!! read more

very slow slow service for a non busy night. our server was very scatter brained, acted like she didn't care, said "here's a raspberry tea, didn't know if you wanted tea or lemonade, didn't care to remember", she said, what a joke. the table behind us had a problem with her and they got a new server. besides that, the food was pretty great. the white wine mussels are always delicious and full of flavor, i created my own feast and got a lot of food for the price. snow crab legs were a very small portion for what we paid for. i would recommend having better servers for a seafood restaurant with high checks. 3 stars for the cheddar bay biscuits, crab linguine alfredo, and mussels. everything else was crap read more

Staff are really friendly. For a red lobster I thought this place was really good. Lots of smiles and hellos from staff. Food came quickly and was of high quality. My aunt asked for a few special and unique things that they happily accommodated. read more

Red Lobster - Place was packed. - Seafood Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Been there twice within a week, BOTH times the wait was 1 hour for 2 people.. with PLENTY of tables open for 2 people. Sorry, not giving you any more chances! You should staff properly, or maybe get 1 of the 3 girls standing up front to start helping with tables, just my opinion. read more

There are two places I go for seafood in Columbus. Red Lobster is definitely one of them when i take the kids with us. Ira kinda noisy but it's a happy noise so everyone is okay with it. The pricing is adequate for this establishment so I'm good with it. Easy onto the main road . So go, eat, and enjoy yourself! read more

I normally don't review chain restaurants but our experience was so great I wanted to give a shout out. This is the first time me and my husband went out after the Covid-19 pandemic. Staff was so great, best food I have ever had at any Red Lobster. Just fantastic. Thanks for making our night! read more

A friend and I have been going to this Red Lobster for several years and it's clear that they have been making efforts to give customers a better experience over the last several months. Last night was one of the best so far. The server was very attentive. A manager was visible on the floor. Food came out quickly and was cooked properly. And some corporate initiatives like a new rewards program and credit card reader tablets at the tables were also welcome additions. Props to our waiter - every time I order, I ask that try not bring the usual cup of butter, but bring cocktail sauce instead, and it never happens. I have to ask several times for the sauce. It's been a running joke with my friend because it's happened that way every single time. This time I still got the butter, but I actually got the cocktail sauce as well. I was pleasantly surprised! The food was very good, although I always wish the broccoli was a little more done but it's not a deal breaker. The crab was cooked perfectly and the sides and appetizer were good as well. A good experience all around! read more

I'm not a huge fan of red lobster but this location impressed me when we came here with a larger than average group and they were accommodating and the service was fast and spot on. It's a clean place that always seems busy and the food is as good as I've had in any other red lobster so I would return. read more

It is a busy restaurant, you do have to wait. The severs are very nice and funny. Food is always hot and very delicious! We are regulars, love the all you can eat shrimp and I wish it could be a permeant all time menu item read more

The service is non-existing. We thought we would give this location one more try. After we were seated, we ordered our drinks then the server disappeared. About the time I was going to find the manager they came to us asking how was our meal, with smell of alcohol and cigarettes on their breathe. We decided it wasn't worth staying and wasting our time and money. Will never visit this lication again. read more

Haven't been to this location in years but thought we'd stop in while waiting for our car to get worked on. Beautiful inside. Staff and service was superb. Got the sampler appetizer of shrimp cocktail, stuffed mushrooms & coconut shrimp. Excellent taste and presentation. Highly recommend. read more

My wife and I go to Red Lobster quite often and we especially go for unlimited shrimp in September this year we had a really bad experience our waiter paid no attention to us he forgot to bring drinks our order of extra shrimp those never came either and as were waiting on our meal to be brought a waitress cleared a table across from us and picked up food off of the plate and started eating it , that was pretty gross, I don't know that I'll be visiting this Georgesville location again anytime soon read more

It's always nice and the service is good. I love seafood. As you know their prices are kinda high but that's to be expected for fresh seafood in the Midwest. read more

Been there twice and both times the service was amazing! Can't say enough about the hostesses & wait staff. The kitchen staff I am gonna call into question. Both visits we ended up with a free meal because of their mistake. I'm not complaining, last night I saved $25!!! And it certainly won't keep me from going back! read more

This place is terrible the food is definitely sub par . Definitely better choices in Columbus for seafood at competitive prices . Also as a business owner I recommend looking at yelps bbb rating before paying to advertise thanks read more

I've had Red Lobster in the past and this location lacked to come to par with the Polaris location. My cheddar bay biscuits were not fresh despite it being a prime time lunch hour and my fish was not crispy despite being "hand fried". I crave a crispy, flaky, succulent fish. Is that too much to ask for? read more

My daughter and I dined during the CrabFest. Our waitress Bri was so sweet, attentive and very knowledgeable of the different types of crab offered, so of course we upgraded our snow crab. The food itself was good; consistent quality from other visits. read more

I've been sitting waiting for a table for an hour. Which is what they said it could take to then find out since I did not check in online that two large parties have been put in front of us putting us farther out from getting a table. read more

Red lobster isn't the cheap choice for lunch. I enjoy the food every time the service is hit or miss. This location had both right today. Lobster fest is great had ultimate feast. Special treat for me. read more
