Decided to stop here for a good meal at a familiar chain after a long drive. However, was thoroughly disappointed by the food we ordered for takeout. The salmon was unseasoned and not pleasant at all to eat. The fries that we ordered as a side was pretty much soggy. Pretty much everything was either way to salty or just completely unseasoned. Not eating back here again. read more

Ordered the 1/2 order of Tilapia with a side of scallops. First and most important, food was prepared perfect. Wood fired fish was super moist and scallops were on point. Now I move to the next most important part....service. You can find great food but service is an important part of the experience. Jonathan absolutely nail every part of the experience. From the time I sat down to the ordering, delivery and exit. Great young man!! Thank you Jonathan and RL. read more

Good meal, great service. The caesar salad could have definitely used more dressing and our bacon-wrapped scallop appetizer came out right before our meal but overall, we enjoyed it. read more

Big Surprise! My husband and I stopped going to Red Lobster about 8 years ago after some bad food and bad service at their Powder Springs location. We recently moved to the area and decided to try them out again. What a nice surprise! The servers were knowledgeable, friendly and the food was hot and plentiful. In fact since our first visit last month, we've been back 2 more times. read more

My, what a pleasure. Red Lobster has not changed, bringing back memories!! Haven't eaten at one in years and I must say I am pleased. Food is looking good, customer service is on the money. .. yes I am feeling like a kid again. .. thanks RL.... read more

Red Lobster - For starters. .. - Seafood Near Me - Dalton, Georgia

See all

It was terrible. I hadn't been to Red Lobster in so long (years) and had been craving it. I ordered a lobster, crab legs, and shrimp, salad, and brussel sprouts. My daughter had something with a side of asparagus. EVERYTHING was dry except the lobster. I was extremely disappointed. I will never go back. We ended up not eating most of it and I HATE wasting food. read more

When can you ever go wrong with Red Lobster? Not when it's Crab Fest and they bring you crab til to can't stand it anymore. What about Shrimp Fest? Can't go wrong there either. We head "strait" to the bar. Scott is the usual bartender, who has been with his signifigant other for like 19 years now? He doesn't mind to tell you a thing about his life partner. It just makes the Tom Collins that much better. Oh-and the massive Lobsterita's too. My son loves the Shrimp Scampi, he can eat 4 portions and nothing else...by himself. All that crab, all that shrimp and all that drawn butter, Lord take me now. The wait staff is okay, enough drinks and it won't matter. The wait time on Friday and Staurday is about an hour to an hour and a half...what do you expect, we only have one Red Lobster. Sit back, unbutton your pants (under the table) and enjoy! read more

Ate there on a recent trip to Dalton for a tennis tournament. We got excellent food and service for our large group. We will be back!

My wife and I had dinner here 6/14. We both had nice meals and had a lot of fun. I had found a $5 Red Lobster gift certificate from back in the 80's. I asked our waitress, Hannah, if I could use it. She said she hadn't seen one like it before and that her manager would love to see it. John, the manager came to our table and we had a few good laughs about the age of the certificate. He said he collects that type of memorabilia and gave us credit for the $5. He kept it to show his regional manager. We were impressed with the friendliness of the staff and will make sure to back when driving thru. Also, they had the best Caesar salad that I had in years. Tom H read more

I ate at this location yesterday, I had the crab fest, snow crab with the king crab. When I want seafood, I want seafood. The dish came out looking great! Looks can be DECEIVING!!! I'm just getting out of bed from being sick for that great looking dish of crab legs. Very disappointing. read more

I'm not very big on seafood but I've had nothing but good experiences at red lobster. The wait staff has always been great and their food is of good quality, loveeeeeee those cheesy biscuits! I've also noticed how clean its been each time that I've visited. I will definitely be visiting again in the future :]. read more

Passing through to FL, decided to stop for a bite; haven't been to Red Lobster in a long while. Wait was 45 mins (Saturday evening @ 7p), but was able to sit at the bar immediately. Service was awesome; better than most places we go .. Everyone was happy, pleasant and staff worked well together as a team. Food was very good and prompt. My BF had fried shrimp and I had the grilled trout; both very good. We were in and out within 30 minutes with full bellies. Bathrooms were clean as well.. Recommend if you are in the area. :-) read more

This evening we took our family of 7, from out of town, to your Dalton location for Dinner. Upon arrival we gave the hostess our information and was told there would be a 45 minute wait. We arrived at 4:45. We waited outside in the cold untill 5:45 before asking how much longer we would have to wait. At that time we were told we were next on the list. We waited another half hour before asking again. There was no seating available in the lobby. Seats were turned over with signs saying they were not t be used. Our family had driven different vehicles and ere going to at least be able to talk while we were waiting. And again we were good the same thing. That we were next . And again we waited in the cold. After another 15 minutes we were called in. Once inside we were taken to a "booth "with a chair at the end of the table. 2 members of our family were over 65 and one 87 who had just been given one of your gift cards for his birthday. Navigating in and out of a booth for him was all but impossible. We were told we would be given the next available table. This even though there were empty tables throughout the restaurant. So we filed back to the front of the restaurant to wait. After just a few minutes we were told (not so politely)that we were in the way and we needed to again wait outside in the cold . At that point we were all so frustrated that we all decided to take our business elsewhere. Our treatment as customers was both embarrassing and uncalled for. We fully intend to never set foot inside your restaurant again and recommend that none of our friends family or customers of our business do either. read more

Went there late at night. They were still busy but the young man waiting on us was very prompt. Green beans were shriveled up and were past the fresh stage. The rest of the meal was what I had expected. The only delay we had was when we asked for a 2go box and had to wait for what seemed like 15 minutes but probably wasn't but it was too long of a wait. read more

I eat there every time I get a change. LOVE the service and the food. Always enjoy each and every time I have been there. I can't sing their praises enough. If you love seafood, this is the place. Right off I75 Walnut Ave Exit about 100 yards. It takes us about 30 minutes or more to drive there to eat from our home, but it is worth it. read more

Stopped in Sunday just before dinner and had a short wait. Friendly staff as always and great food. I had a couple of orders of scallops (fried) and shrimp scampi it was delicious. My wife had the rock lobster which she said was excellent. The cheddar biscuits were hot a fresh. We eat here about every other week, most of the time for lunch. If eating lunch try the sailors platter for a great deal on a delicious meal. read more

Being from the Boston area I'm used to an abundant amount of fresh seafood restaurants to choose from. When I visit my family in Dalton we always go to Red Lobster and although it is not exactly the same as eating next to the boat that caught it, the fish & lobster are very good here. I would recommend them to anyone. We have eaten there a number of times & never did a yelp review-time to fix that. I had the shrimp tacos which had a great cilantro flavor plus a bit of a kick. I tasted the lobster pizza - delish! The lobster bisque had lots of lobster meat in it (better than the bisque I just had last night in a MA fish house). Fried shrimp platter really good, not overcooked. May I suggest asking for tartar sauce because for some reason they only give you cocktail sauce. The prices are reasonable, the service can be a bit iffy though but you can overlook that because the staff is friendly, polite and eager to please. And of course, who can not love those biscuits! One more suggestion-you can order a lobster tail on the side but it can apparently only be cooked grilled not steamed and they would not steam it when asked. Can steaming be an option? read more

Eh. Food was alright but definitely not worth the price. Also, the poor lobsters just chilling out near the entrance awaiting their death is a huge turn off. read more

Great service today! Our waitress Jennifer was very attentive. The food was delicious. It is the first time we have been to Red Lobster in a while. We will not be strangers for so long next time. Can not wait till pay day. read more

I have never been disappointed whenever dining at a Red Lobster restaurant until we dined at the Dalton branch. We love the cheesy rolls and I always order Calamari as an appetizer but both were so disappointing that the experience of that meal just needs telling. The rolls were far from the quality of those I've enjoyed at other Red Lobsters and when I order fried Calamari I expected Calamari-not a 70/30 mix of FRIED VEGGIES with a small portion of the Calamari. What doesn't that establishment get about offering a what customers demand and not portion controlled by substituting VEGGIES for heavens sake. To be honest that meal I describe to you, the readers visiting this page was weeks ago and I have labored over whether or not to post this scathing report because I don't like petty picking and feel that people should draw their own conclusions when they dine out. But I decided that people need to be forewarned that this Red Lobster is clearly not the same caliber you'd expect from a Red Lobster. read more
