Decided to stop in on a random day with family. The food was ok. Not over good not bad just ok. They use to bring bread out when the bowl was empty but we constantly had to ask for more no big deal though. read more

Red Lobster - Fried shrimp, shrimp scampi & shrimp fettuccine - Seafood Near Me - Dothan, Alabama

I am now at red lobster in Dothan, Alabama. I have been to many red lobsters first of all they did not know the difference between Pinot Grigio and Pinot. Noir the food was not hot. I could say many things about this place with the red lobster is not good. I've traveled many states and have visit red lobsters!!! It was not up to par. read more

lied to me . said my mentally disabled son would get dessert with a candle and get ssung happy birthday by the staff. was prearrangeed and confirmed on arrival by the guy id spoken to the day before to set it up. lousy service. waitress was also the bartender. had to ask for water 3 dang times before it came. after dinner no service at all. i finally went and found her to get the cake going and she saaid i don't know what you're talking about we don't do that. then the manager, head idiot, comes to our table and says we don't have birthday cake or candles and i said thanks for ruining his surprise.get our check now. waited 5 more gd minutes. ken put $10 on the table and we went up front to ask for the check again. the bitchy waitress brings it out in a sleeve and slaps it on the desk i took out the $ and slapped it down. she looks at it & f'ing walks away muttering put it in the sleeve which i did and then i slammed it down. she picks it up and says are you good.i said no hell im not. go get my $1.50 change. meanwhile i go back to the table and take back the tip. i leave and she chases me outside to say hey don't you want your change and i said trust me you'll need it worse than us. i've never been so gd angry. i'll never ever go back to a red lobster. we live on disability and social security. drove 70 miles round trip and spent our spending money for the entire month at a place that showed no respect to paying customers that prearrangeed a celebration for a mentally disabled child. disgusting. they're lucky i left the way i did. we went in at 3:30 and there were 4 other customers in the whole place. maybe if the waitress/bartender had been doing her gd job instead of yakking in the kitchen forcing 33% of the customers to wait and beg for water the place might be successful. hope they close this one down next. now i understand why red lobster is losing stores everyday. also thanks to the young man i spoke to multiple times about what i wanted. i asked do i have to bring a cake or candles he said mam everything will be taken care of don't worry about anything and confirmed it when we got there. why the f+*k did you duck behind a wall when i saw you as i was leaving? these people, the greeter, the waitress and the manager need to be fired! if you're stupid enough to go here you deserve what you get! read more

And that's for the service they're food fish fried shrimp was nasty and tasted funny we spent 91.03 for tea biscuits fries. Red lobster needs a cook and better tasting food. Just awful read more

The worst experience ever! Lisa, one of the managers was rude & unprofessional! Never will return!

Another wonderful lunch with the ladies at Red Lobster! The food was excellent according to everyone else as I personally am allergic to seafood and I'm a vegetarian on top of that, so not too many choices but my Mother and the other ladies absolutely love it. Connor was a great help with my Mother walking into the restaurant. Our waitress today was Lisa, who is absolutely wonderful, can't say enough of how great she is. It's always great being in this place, good times, good food, good ambiance and great people! read more

Went for lunch today in Dothan Alabama. I ordered Fried shrimp platter with baked potato and side of coleslaw. I received a plate with 5 fried shrimp, shrimp scampi, shrimp pasta with the baked potato. Had to ask another sever for my coleslaw received 5 minutes later. It was disappointing because I didn't want anything but fried shrimp. My friend ordered the Crab boil, it was ok not seasoned enough. For over 100 spend was a little disappointed. read more

My husband and I went to eat today at Red Lobster looking forward to Lobsterfest...our we both ordered the Sirloin and lobster tail from the menu...we had a good waitress but when the food arrived, my husband's steak was so tough he could barely cut through it and both of the lobster tails were awful...my steak was not good either....to make a long story short...87.50 was what we paid for 2 bites of steak and 2 bites of lobster tail...we had not been there in quite a few years and have absolutely NO plans to ever eat there again! read more

This was the best meal we have ever had at Red Lobster. Amazing meal. We ordered through DoorDash. Orleans Salmon amazing. Mom got four shrimp different ways. Again awesome. read more

The bottled beers were great. Stopped on the way home from a Florida vacation - about 2pm. Service was slow. Biscuits were either overcooked or had sat forever - perhaps even left over from others' meals!! (Hopefully Not-Yuck) They advertise FRESH biscuit.!! Meals were so greasy that one of us lost it - not from the nicer end of our body!! (How embarrassing and messy) NEVER AGAIN. NEVER AGAIN. To top it off they were sweeping the floor around us stirring up floor debris. We conclude with NEVER AGAIN! read more

so let me try to keep this short as possible! This establishment has been here for probably four decades. It's been years since I've been in and I thought I would give it a chance because I have the endless shrimp which I love. So I went in roughly 12 weeks ago 9/23 and it was a great value at $20 but let me tell you the service absolutely horrifying! No lie it took over 2.5?hours to complete my visit! That's sad I went back, roughly 6 weeks later, thinking maybe things would have changed and did they. The price went from $20-$22 OK Biden Economic Enforce I understand. I explained to the waitress the problem I had with the previous visit and the service was better. Food was OK The restaurant was empty, but it still took forever to get are food. still, it was a disappointing experience, who won the price to the service service on both what's terrible? So it takes me to yesterday evening 12/7/23 The price went from $22-$25 so we're talking an increase of 25% in 12 weeks nothing changed. In no way shape form or fashion is a 25% increase acceptable for any service especially fast food Service was absolutely terrible again! So this was my third and last time ever visiting this establishment called red lobster! As soon as we sat down, I was informed by the server that they were out of french fries or mashed potatoes! Wow, really a restaurant serving seafood without french fries not acceptable. Sams was less than a half a mile. They could've got all the fries they wanted, but was told by the server that corporate would not allow it.! OK, then shut the doors you're not given the customer what they deserve or are paying for. So we place the order again for Italy shrimp, and it was roughly 30 minutes food was delivered cold once again, the waiter blamed the cook. Food does not come out cold because The cook delighted it was sitting, waiting for the waiter to pick it up and deliver. That's a no-brainer. So, as soon as the food was delivered, we requested a re-order of endless shrimp. Wow, what a disappointment. Sorry sir we're out of this particular re-order that you're asking for. Omgosh shut the door once again, such a disappointment. I'm paying for a product that I'm not delivered. Well, this is no lie 40 minutes later we have not received our re-order. At this point, I requested a manager and canceled the order and ask for the bill. The manager was so apologetic, at this point this is where I intervened, and expressed my view that she or her staff we're being Wayover paid because nothing changed in 12 weeks. To top this off, I emailed corporate 12 hours later, I still have not received a response does that tell you anything. Stay out of this restaurant you will be highly disappointed I promise you!!! If you do go, please write a review. Let me know if things changed.... read more

Friendly service at the bar. Drinks were good. Thanks, Meeka!! Bottomless shrimp for the win!! read more

A bit of a wait for a table, but the staff was super friendly and explained that it was limited seating due to being short staffed. This I understand!! Service was great! Madilyn was our server and she was super attentive and took really good care of us! I got the fried seafood platter & my boyfriend got a steak. His steak was perfectly cooked & well seasoned. My food on the other hand was over fried so the fish was dried out, clam strips were hard, and shrimp was just lackluster. The Brussels sprouts were weird! They had a rather sweet syrup on them that just left them inedible! read more

Walking up to the door, there was a smell coming from the kitchen exhaust that made us think twice about even going in. Texas Roadhouse had a 30 min wait, so we decided to just go in and eat. We were seated immediately, and our server was very prompt with drinks and a starter. Our starter was calamari, and was absolutely fried in old oil, you can always tell when the oil is way old, so not a good start to our dinner. Steak was delicious, Lobster was pretty small, scallops wrapped in bacon were ok, bacon seemed like it was oven baked and sat for a little while. I'm not a good critic, but the quality of food was not on par for a $130 bill for 2 people. Save your money, go buy the stuff at the store and cook it yourself. read more

We had an excellent waitress so right off the bat she made our overall experience a pleasant one and was very attentive. But does anyone remember when Red Lobster was like THE romantic place to go for a date or a celebration dinner? Well that whole atmosphere has left and Red Lobster is just a shell of its once illustrious self. It's lighting makes it look like your inside a submarine. I also forgot how greasy and fried everything was. I liked my meal but I felt like complete crap after. I'll try to order from the healthy menu next time and see if I like it better. read more

See all

This is hands down the worst red lobster Ive ever been in. They are understaffed, the staff they have is rude and short. The wait around 3pm was said to be 20 minutes and hour later our table was ready. When I asked about the wait after about 40 minutes I was told "you just have to wait" No no I don't. We left got the text our table was ready after already seated at another local restaurant and had drinks. read more

Ordered online an hour in advance. Got to restaurant and had to wait. Order was not ready. Spoke with two managers, they were full of apologies but that's it. Had to ask for order three time. Manager finally brought order out and was missing cheese biscuits. So more than 15 minutes after order was supposed to be picked up, I walked out of restaurant! While waiting, I saw a server drop several of a customers chips on the floor and he left them on the floor and stilled served the man the chips! Another man was at the bar waiting on king crab legs, when he got them they were cold! More apologies!! If you were thinking about going there today or any other day you might want to rethink. They responded that they want to know more! What more can I say that isn't included in this list? Maybe they should just read it again, slowly this time. 2nd update: the link I was asked to click on does not work. read more

I rate this one two stars. Here's why: Pros: They have a lighter side menu (1/2 star) The cheddar biscuits were perfect (1/2 star, these need to always be right) At least one of the servers considered the lack of service from another member of their own team. (1 solid star for the save) Cons: *Overpriced food for the lack of flavor. (Nashville hot shrimp are just breaded and fried shrimp with some sugar and honey on them. No hot spice or Nashville type spicy dry seasoning were applied to the shrimp.) *garlic overload on everything else *6 oz. Sirloin cost 18.99 with a shrimp skewer. Sirloin was cooked correctly(medium rare) but was very gristle-y and had more fat than usual for a sirloin. * Steamed broccoli was less than steamed. Crunchy stalks mean that it didn't get steamed long enough. *Staff and servers consistently messed up orders, sent food to wrong table, and lacked any motivation to refill drinks (water)(20 minutes to get a refill). This happened while we were there within one hour to at least 2 tables around us. I would consider this is it were absolutely crazy hectic, but it wasn't. The restaurant was only about 60% full at the time. In closing, what I saw was a lack of proper management and coaching. These types of things happen in a restaurant that is newly opened or under new management/staff. Do not go here unless you just want a drink (maybe the bar offers better service) and a cheddar biscuit or you will leave disappointed and upset about how much you spent for a sub par meal and service. read more

We visited on Saturday, March 16, 2019. We were looking forward to eating here because it had been a while since we had the chance. I'm sad to say it was disappointing. Our waitress was just ok. I ordered the 12 oz. New York strip steak, the only way I can descirbe it is mushy, flavorless, and dry. The little advertisements on the tables gives off a cheesy casual dinning feeling. The carpet could do with a cleaning. Cloth napkins would also be a plus. The paper napkins make it feel like a quick in and out, not the sit down restaurant the prices indicate it should be. It will be a while before my next visit, if at all. read more

Biggest waiste of $80!!!!!!!!!!! I use to love coming here. Use to be best long Island ice tea you could find.... I won't be visiting this location again. Service was OK. It wasn't busy at all but it was super slow! I ordered the surf n turf and my husband ordered a shrimp trio, our son had the kids grilled chicken with orange slices. Then portions were extremely small and tasted awful! The orange slices were dried out and chicken undercooked. My lobster was so rubbery I couldn't eat it.. The shrimp tasted like freezer burn. Now all of that wouldn't have been so awful but I have been wanting a long Island for a very long time, that was the main reason for going there tonight. It was the worst long Island I've ever had. It tasted like flavored water. read more

It took forever for the bartender to come over to us. He was busy on his phone behind the bar and didnt even no we were there. We finally got drinks after 10mins and the food was not what we ordered. Try to get his attention but he be on his phone by the beers read more

I've gone three times hoping it would get better and up to par with other red Lobsters. This one is not worth the price at all. Everything, from the salad dressing to the cheddar biscuits (how do you eff up those??), to the actual entrees is so lackluster. I know we aren't next to coast but someone definitely froze and thawed out my crab wrong. It was gross. The shrimp was eh. Pilaf was gross. And every single waitress and hostess I have seen has the personality of cardboard. read more

The night started out sketchy because I called two hours before we went so I could reserve a take for 8. I arrived half an early and they told me they were getting two booths ready for us. That's a negative. Who wants to separate a party???? The eventually fixed this situation quickly. My son's 18th birthday dinner went great. All the food was perfect. No one complained. Our waiter, Kelly, was Johnny on on the spot. Highly recommend this location. read more

Birthday dinner with my Love. Katie did a great job taking care of us. My wife had the shrimp linguini alfredo & I had the shrimp scampi with cauliflower au gratin. The food was delicious, although the cauliflower was a little bland. Katie brought us a free sundae to celebrate the occasion, which was a very nice and unexpected touch. Overall it was a positive experience! Thanks! read more

Half of our food came out wrong. They remade it but by the time it came out I had already eaten all of mine. The waitress asked me if I wanted a Togo box before my boyfriends food was even out. Then when he finally got his food it was horrible! They took off his dinner he couldn't eat that was also 30 mins late however they still charged us for some soup we never got. read more

We went there last night and thought we would give them another chance as they have sucked in the past. They said it would be an hour and half wait. My wife said, "but there is no body here." They said they were having a party. We went to Olive Garden where we are always welcomed. I now see why nobody much goes there anymore. read more

Service was excellent! We had a large party and the manager, Stephen Busco was superb. Would highly recommend this restaurant if your going to Dothan. Food was great! read more

In the last 6 months of visiting with my family I have been served rotten lettuce, had to wait over 30 minutes for my drinks to even reach my table and then only got refills when I went to the bar to get them. Rude waitresses and waiters and a manager who instead of apologizing for the poor service makes excuses. I have even had them charge me for food not ordered. I highly suggest that anyone that wants good lobster goes to ihop because even they would have better quality food. Never again will I or my family be eating at red lobster. And I suggest you do not either. read more

Ask for Stella's section. You won't be disappointed. She is funny, knowledgeable and attentive. Great server. Food was good. I hadn't been to a Red Lobster in a long time. It was a bit pricey for what you get but overall a good place. read more

Food was OK only! Service was SLOW!! Once seated, it took about 20 minutes to place orders. Also turned out they were out of three items! Probably won't be returning!! read more

Arguably one of my favorite restaurants in Dothan. The staff is always super nice and the food is perfect.

Joy was awesome! Nice fast and tasty. Every thing was great so no complaints. We had the tilapia and lobster.

Had great service, meal for 1! Was their for only 35 min, lobster bisque was amazing.

Not my choice for dinner but I'm a sucker for shrimp and lobster. Service was great and the food is like all other RLs. Packed house says something. Try the Ultimate Feast, you can't go wrong during lobsterfest. read more

We were pleasantly surprised! I really didn't want to go to Red Lobster bc last time we were at this location a few years ago it wasn't good. But the food was really good this time. Definitely try the gumbo. The mixed drinks were also good, and of course those biscuits! We had a really cool waiter also. read more

We have given this place three opportunities to provide a quality experience. First, the restaurant smells (not of fresh seafood) and the floors and walls are dirty. The last time we went we had a plate with 3 rotten mussels. The bread was insanely salty. We couldn't eat it. When we mentioned it to the server we were just told,"I don't eat that so I don't know what it's supposed to taste like." The food was ok but nothing that would bring me back again to give it another go. read more

Well, where should I start. The sefood pizza was delicious, and gone without a drink, my water still had not made its way to the table. My wine came with salad, but my combo scallops and wood fire shrimp did not come together. I got the shrimp and broccoli and my water, which all of this was gone by the time the scallops came, still no rice. Which we had to ask for. Server reply was "ok I will get you some", still no refills. Not date night, I was on travel time arriving by 3:45, 1 hour and 20 minutes later I was out the door. Guess my mistake was thinking it would be a quick in and out since it was not dinner rush. Yet was expected to leave $11.00 tip. Maybe I expected too much, or maybe the staff was unorganized. read more

What the Heck! Refuses to take reservations for Friday, the 8th, because of Mother's Day on Sunday, the 10th! Okay.... Bye!

Last night I visited Dothan Red Lobster. My family and I often eat at this restaurant and we usually get decent service. However last night was an exception. Our server last night was rude and inattentive but only towards us. We could clearly see and hear her being polite and helpful to all the customers at her other tables but when it came to helping us that was not the case. She did not refill our drinks, we had to ask her to remove dirty dishes from the table, and one of our appetizers was late. She clearly seemed bothered that we were there. Carrie B. needs to be trained on how to treat ALL customers in her section. Here is a tip for her: if you treat us like humans, we tip like humans! read more

My Son took me to the Dothan, AL Red Lobster for Mother's Day. The employees were wonderful especially our waitress Red. The food was on the whole pretty good until my son got to his crab. When my son pulled his crab leggs apart most of it had no meat and the parts that did have meat came out so dry that dust like particles flew out of them when he pulled them apart. They were so dry he just put the rest on a side plate and didn't get to eat any more crabmeat. I feel that was a big waste of my Son's hard earned Military money. I had a great time because my Son took me and the Employees were great. The lamps above the tables constantly literally basically pored out dust into the air over our food. It was disgusting, I kept wantinng to cover my drink and food to no avail. read more
