I normally like Red Lobster but this location on the night we went was not up to their usual standards. The shrimp was like you would get out of the frozen food aisle for $3. Not sure what they served calling them scallops?!? Now, the cheese biscuits were great as always. I am giving them one star for the food on just this one night, one star for the responsive management to my complaint and one more star because they usually are pretty good. read more

Very disappointed from being seated until we left. The hostess weren't acting like hostess but children playing around & not address us the costumers. The lady who sat us was very unprofessional complaining about her day & ready to leave. Our waitress was slow but we gave her the benefit of the doubt being a Friday night. After our food came out everything was over cooked, we didn't bother sending it back since as I stated the waitress was "busy". Unfortunately we won't be going back. read more

This is what makes America great. I can get tasty lobster in Iowa. This one of the cleanest restaurants I have ever been to. The service is flawless read more

I went for lunch with my 3 co workers and I swear to God it was the worst meal and service EVER!!!! ALL you can eat shrimp was deplorable!!!! This was the worst meal ever....skewer shrimp dry and tough ...parmesan shrimp tough broccoli dry cold uneatble...took linguini shrimp home and threw it away!!!!! I used to love this place but now....it's on life support had to ask for biscuits .....WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED read more

Well my service was absolutely terrible! Never came out to refill our drinks...had to share with oTher people on our table! Food was alright! We were all missing items from our food but couldn't complain because we never saw our waitress again read more

Delicious food, but the wait is terrible, the waitress didn't seem like she had any time to devote to us at all, we waited for our check for over a half an hour. read more

I love red lobster! Best crab linguini alfredo ive ever had!!! And i love their mango mai tais!!!!! Those are the BOMB!!!!!!

What a waste of time and money. Service was slow and clumsy when present and that was not often. Our appetizer, the Lobster-Artichoke-and-Seafood Dip was not good at all, but I was so hungry I munched on it anyway and that is probably a good thing given that my entree was worse. The Caesar salad was terrific and I wish I had ordered it instead of the lackluster Garden salad that came with my entree. Our main courses were Crab Linguini Alfredo and after being disappointed in the Live Maine Lobster selection (only a couple humongous 3 pounders at six thirty on a Friday?) I ordered the Ultimate Feast which is to consist of a Maine lobster tail, steamed snow crab legs, garlic shrimp scampi and Walt's Favorite Shrimp. It was horrible. The lobster tail was so overcooked I couldn't chew through it without my teeth squeaking. The shrimp was greasy and the scampi style came over salted, the crab legs were decent and really the only thing I ate. What annoys me most besides our servers slowness was that I had to beg for attention the whole meal, which came so slowly, (can you bring more bisquits, please take away this monstronsity of an appetizer plate and these spent glasses?) and then when waiter sees a virtually untouched meal he doesn't inquire at all? The Alfredo went over much better but was still overpriced and forgettable. This place is a disaster. I do not love the chain dining experience typically but this place has serious work to do from servers to chefs. Just miserable. read more

Spicy shrimp is not spicy. Our waiter was nice, but moved like deputy dog. Small beer menu. Nothing local despite being advertised. Food tasted good. Busy. read more

The solid consistency of the food, diverse menu, and entrees rich in taste can be found at any Red Lobster restaurant; I've eaten at several throughout the Midwest, but this location has a secret weapon none others do: RHONDA. Rhonda is a server with 35 years under her belt, and it's clear how she's been able to put up with the pace, stress, and difficult personalities servers come into contact with daily: she has a heart of gold. She's like the Aunt, Mom, or Grandma that spoils you and caters to your every want and need. If you ever leave the Davenport Red Lobster dissatisfied in any way, I guarantee you did not have Rhonda as your server. It's clear she loves her job - always smiling, laughing, thanking you for your patronage, and making good conversation. My visits to Red Lobster go from good to fantastic - solely because of the work she does. read more

Red Lobster. Fish and chips were not very good. This is why I never go to Red Lobster. No matter how nice the decor is, the food is below average. read more

We were staying right next door and after a 9 hour day of driving, didn't want to go very far to get to a bar. Neither of us had ever been to a Red Lobster before so our expectations were very (I mean very) low. Especially being from Maine where getting lobster means getting it off your buddy's boat and cooking it yourself! Anyway, we were pleasantly surprised with the nice, upscale decor and wood bar. We got our first margaritas really fast and drank them equally fast. I proceeded to drink 2 bloody Mary's which were really good and my boyfriend had two bourbon and ginger ales which were nice and strong. My Caesar came with too much dressing but the shrimp were good. Boyfriend's Cobb salad was accidentally undressed but there was so much flavor that he didn't mind and ate it anyway! The only thing I can say is - give the poor bartender a barback!!! She's doing service and the bar for the whole packed restaurant? Crazy!!! That place was packed on a Wednesday night and she was outrageously busy. Needless to say, she got a big old tip from us! read more

Came here to celebrate my mother's birthday. There were 10 in our party. Since they don't do reservations they at least accommodated by me calling about an hour before to let them know of the size so by the time we got there we only had to wait 15 minutes or so. This place was busy, but it was a Saturday night also...always busy! The server and assistant on our table was great (I don't remember her name though). Almost all of us ordered the AYCE Shrimp promo...can't go wrong with $16.99 AYCE shrimp; and those delicious biscuits kept coming out hot too since we all loved them. They brought out a little ice cream dessert for my mother at the end. Server had no issue figuring out the check splits at the end. Just an amazing great evening with the family and close friends! read more

This place was very clean I go here often with my family servers and staff are polite and nice and the food is great I love the crap extremely satisfied read more

I want to shout out to my server Laura who was so informative regarding the lunch specials. Even her dressing suggestion was a thumbs up. Thanks again Laura!! I had the trout and it was moist and delicious. Did I forget to mention the Cheddar Bay Bisquits????? don't hate!!!! go get some. :) read more

We pretty much only eat here when we have a gift certificate. Food was ok, but man the 4 people at the front hostess stand need some serious training. We were not greeted, thanked or even smiled at. The bathroom was a disaster, and I mentioned this on the way out and the hostess scowled at me and said "yeah, we know. We're sending someone up". No apology. Also when I was in the bathroom, the same associate didn't smile and scowled the whole time. Not welcoming! read more

Typical Red Lobster in decor. I had shrimp scampi. My favorite is the cheddar bay biscuits. They no longer offer apple sause instead of the salad. Our server was very pleasant, and she smiled, and it seemed genuine. I think she really likes her job. That was nice to see. read more

I agree with others. Why do So So many QC residents support this huge chain restaurant? The only $$ that stay here are the minimum wage they pay with very few benefits included. The food is obviously so so. If they really served what was advertised, it might be OK but what is served is not what is on the TV. Why is the lot packed from 5:00 on??? I tried to look at the menu before joining relatives who suggested, Wrong - it was updated in 2012 wjth no prices included. If you like poor quality food - hyped through the media - go for it. You can have my parking spot!! read more

Trusty standby when we feel like fish and seafood. Very popular throughout the week so be prepared to wait, even if a little.

Good food. Very long wait for 6 (1:45). Food came out in waves. 1st person finished dinner before last person got total order.

Very dissapointed. Went here for the first time last night. It was my first time at a Red lobster in general. I ordered the crab linguine alfredo, and there were hard, sharp pieces of crab shells throughout the whole dish. I thought that maybe after the first couple of shells, they would subside, but they did not. Not only that, but the dish made me feel very sick to my stomach. I couldn't even finish the dish. My girlfriend ordered the Creamy lobster alfredo, and that also made her feel sick to her stomach while eating it and for several hours afterwards. I could have sworn there was half a stick of melted butter left in a pool on her plate once she had fished all of the pasta and lobster. I complained to the server and the manager at the end, because I didn't want to disturb my girlfriend's dinner by complaining during the meal. Neither of the staff members seemed very concerned. The manager decided to take only $10 off of our meal. In my opinion, I should have my dish for free. For the price they expect you to pay, the dishes should be next to flawless, and certainly not contain an abundance of shells. The staff was also just very rude in general. There was a whole group of them standing by the front desk, and none of them greeted us properly, they simply asked how many people we had and for a name. On our way out, there was also a large group of about 5 or 6 staff members standing by the front desk, doing nothing but talking to each other, that we walked right past and not a single one told us to "have a nice day" or "thank you." Absolutely disappointing. read more

I love the servers. I love the biscuits. I love endless shrimp. Their shrimp scampi is amazing! Honestly though, skip the rice or potatoes. I just want more shrimp!!! read more

Excellent for LUNCH, reason being, it is about the ONLY time you really have a fighting chance of getting in to eat there. Forget weeknights and weekends, too many people want to eat here, and frankly ONE Red Lobster for the Quad Cities is that it is overwhelmed with too many customers. It is VERY popular and someone needs to pick up the franchise and build a couple more so EVERYONE can enjoy the good food. This area and the fans of Red Lobster would definitely be able to support a couple more, one out West Kimberly, and another over in Moline or Rock Island. People would come. We had a terrific lunch, very, very good service, and the food came out piping hot, attentive waitress and super nice to us. I am so glad it was a weekday and went there for lunch. I'll do it again, for lunch. read more

Loved it! Took my boyfriend there for his birthday and the waitress was so sweet and professional, food was great, very clean. It's a little too dark in there but no biggy. Amazing service. read more

Pros: good service, and we enjoyed the atmosphere. Cons: food did not taste all that good given the price. I guess I expect a fresh fish dish in the mid $20 range to be perfect. The salmon was a little dry. The steamed broccoli had a funny taste, and the potato tasted starchy because it was undercooked. The salad was just iceberg lettuce with a couple of croutons. I did like the cheese biscuits, but that's not why I buy a fresh fish dish. This is the second time in a row I haven't really enjoyed the food - the price / satisfaction ratio isn't there for me, we probably won't return. read more

Thought the meal was great! I had the sirloin with bourbon grilled shrimp and my husband had the ultimate shrimp, lobster and crab. We were both full and pleased with our meal. Note: my sirloin was a bit peppery but grilled just right. Our waitress was Kirsten S. and she was excellent! We will be back. read more

Just not consistent with the food as is typical with chains. Not worth the wait. Never has been.

Delicious food, great service, classy/casual atmosphere, I highly recommend this restaurant. It's a bit pricey, but well worth it. Great for large groups or smaller, intimate ones. read more

Greatest service ever. All the wait staff were really nice. Great food, great environment.

I can't tell you how many times I have come to this Red Lobster. I never had any issues - the service was always great, food was good, atmosphere was clean and nice, and the prices are decent. I wouldn't come here to get really amazing seafood, but it's not bad if you aren't looking for anything extravagant! read more

I used to love this place, now I'm sad to say this restaurant is only a very bad decline in service and food quality. Past two times waiter forgot to bring apps out, messed up the tab, and had to ask for refills. Won't be dining here again. The price isn't worth the dining experience... read more

Excellent food, every time we go! The staff is always extremely courteous and more than helpful. The manager, J.D., is absolutely wonderful!! We will be back soon. read more

I was there yesterday and had snow crab legs. My waiter was good but my food wasn't very good. I've had better and for what I had it could have been better. It was over done and over priced. My stuffed mushrooms were delicious. read more

Worst Service Ever Mediocre food at best Terrible experience at 2 in the afternoon NO ONE THERE

Great service but the food wasn't that great at all. Fish & chips were really crispy and dry.

I am so disgusted by how my girlfriend and I were treated yesterday..we weren't like overly hungry so we were going to order an appetizer and a seafood feast and just share.. The server gave us the most annoyed look possible and said that's not going to be enough food.. Are you sure you want to order that... I have been a server and after his talk about lobster and all the expensive specials, I feel like he was upset that we didn't order $60 meals a piece... Just because I order something small doesn't mean I don't tip well.. I always tip way more than I'm supposed too..after he said that I said so what do you want me to order and I think he got the clue that I was upset.. He tried arguing with me and I just said we would look again... After we ordered, he had other people drop our stuff at our table.. I got the shrimp and scallop linguini.. With no scallops at all... I said something and I had already eaten my pasta and they came out.. I had no apology, or anything just excuses and he didn't come back to even let me know they were making more.. I got my check tipped 50% and left... I will NEVER RETURN... Ever... Worst service ever... read more

After I jammed myself into the tiniest booth ever (after waiting for the place to open its doors late) I ordered the lunch soup and salad combo. I searched in vain for the grilled shrimp which the server brought after I was done with my salad. The clam chowder was an anemic, watery concoction; canned Campbell's would have been better. I was not charged for my meal. But I was hardly satisfied with a glass of tea and a couple biscuits. Iowa City and Cedar Rapids blow these guys out of the water. read more

I am a local and eat at Red Lobster normally twice a week and have been for the past 3 years. The food has always been excellent and the manager, hostesses, and servers have always treated me like a king. I highly recommend this Red Lobster and especially ask for my favorite server Evalyn on Weds Eve, and Sunday afternoons, she always goes out of her way to please the most scrutinizing diners. read more

Took my mother there and the food and service was excellent. Very clean.

February 1st... Four of us girlfriends met up today for the first time together in years. We went there because of the good food lobsteritas and the great memories we have had there..we were there for quite sometime catching up so we asked for the back room because we didn't want to be rushed in and out. The server made it clear that he should have already been off work but they got busy late so he was stuck. We said we'd happily pay him if he wanted to leave because we didn't want to cause him to be stuck there because of us.. He said he was fine and pretty accommodating without one smile or friendly word he did his job but unhappily.. Which was sad because he made $ off our table of 4.. We had margaritas then ordered appetizers eventually our meals.. Now each of us had poorly made top shelf drinks, $12 for each one..4 appetizers and each of us order the most expensive meal on menu.. $26 for each lunch.. Ok maybe not as expensive as a whole lobster but each of our bill were between $60 cheapest the other bills were about $80 a piece.. 2 drinks a pice 3 apps and our meals.. The food was the worst..the lobster tasted old over cooked. We still tipped about 25% with barely a thank you.the food was edible but not good.. Maybe the margaritas helped choke it down plus we were just so excited to see each other and catch up we didn't. Complain.. The davenport red lobster seems to have same decor and furniture that has been there for at least 10 years or more.. I don't expect great seafood in the Midwest but cooking my own walmart frozen seafood is even better.. Very disappointing and probably won't go back for a long time..the prices for what you get on top of the over cooked lobster,scallops and shrimp and old lettuce for salads was pretty sad.. The waiter made at least$60 in tips on our table of 4 and never came back to thank us..my advice is too spend your $ elsewhere.. If anyone has a better suggestion for half decent seafood in the qc please reply to this. I wish I had kept my receipt to do the survey on the back. But just a warning for anyone else looking for decent food and atmosphere steer clear of this red lobster. read more
