Remarkably pleasant, and consistent, for a chain restaurant. This location is working very hard on quality and service. Note: the poor reviews for this location are old. I had blackened salmon tonight. Frankly, it was excellent. read more

The food here is better than some other RL's I have been to. Aside from it being cooked well and not burned or dried up. The portions seem to be bigger too!. We ordered: Appitizers: Escargots and Stuffed Mushroom. Both were good and the cheese was not burned. The stuffing on the mushrooms were filled and not dried. Entrees (shared): Shrimp Side Trio; Shrimp Luiguini, Garlic Shrimps and Butterfly Battered Shimps. All delish! Comes withh a salad so we got Ceasar. Right portion of dressing, croutons and shaved cheese. No bacon which is perfect for me and Clam chowder which was not as hot... but was ok. Our waitress was attentive making sure our food arrived quickly and our drinks is always filled. The only thing they can improve on is the tea pot they serve their tea in.... way too small and does not even full the mug it comes in. read more

The service was 5 star but the food deserves a 3 star. We orders chilli shrimp and lobster dip for appetizer. The lobster dip was extremely salty and the chips were covered in thick layers of salt. The starter salad that came before the entree was awful. Tasted very bland. The entree was delicious. It was cooked perfectly paired with the right amount of sauces. read more

One of my coworkers tried to convince me that this Red Lobster is in a different league than all the other Red Lobsters, and that this one is "actually nice!". So when my husband suggested that late last night (9:30 pm on the Thursday of Easter Weekend) I was willing to go.... but begrudgingly, because I really wanted to go somewhere fun downtown. Anyway, Red Lobster it was, and Red Lobster it will never ever be again. First, they told us it would be a 10 minute wait, which was fine.... until we realized that the place was full of empty tables!? My only guess is that maybe they were short staffed, and trying to stagger the crowd a bit. But it seemed very odd. We both ordered fish & chips, figuring you can't really go wrong. It comes with a salad - we both opted for Caesar. I couldn't get over how obscurely perfect the shredded cheese on top was; it obviously comes out of a package and probably never expires. The whole salad was also so heavily dressed that I didn't finish it - which is saying a lot coming from a girl who likes a LOT of dressing on a salad. When the fish & chips arrived, I kept getting whiffs of soap, and I still haven't figured that out. But I definitely wasn't smelling fish, and when I did smell fish, it just didn't seem appetizing. There were two pieces of very soggy, limp fish, sitting on top of a medium-sized arrangement of fries that didn't seem memorable at all. There was also a side of coleslaw that looked so wet and tired that I didn't even touch it. In fact, I didn't touch much of anything, and couldn't wait to just get home. I There wasn't so much something wrong with the experience, but there was just nothing right about it either. read more

Waitress wasn't helpful, salad was wilted, shrimp arrived plate was hotter then the shrimp. Waitress did not come back until we were almost done with her meal!! Manager offered us 20% off our meal. Will not come back! read more

Red Lobster is not all that. The Shrimp was shrimpy and under par. The food was was too greasy and garlicky for me and I love butter and garlic. The Shrimp Linguini Alfredo was delicious on its own and very heavy. The Garlic Shrimp was not at all succulent and the Hand-Breaded Shrimp was awful. I doubt these people would know a good shrimp if one hit them in the face. They were so tiny like those cheap shrimp rings you get at No Frills. The waitress was pleasant enough and the staff was polite. It was clean and well kept. We had to wait almost an hour from the time we were done eating to the time we actually walked out to pay our bill. When we finally got the debit machine we ended up settling up our bill and leaving it sitting on the table and walking out. I doubt we even had to pay and probably could have walked out with the machine. It was a spontaneous decision and I would have rathered Jack Astors but on a plus side it was quiet and we didnt have to yell over music to have a conversation. read more

Dinner with GF and she likes lobster. Red Lobster is not my fav as everything tends to be soaked in butter. She got 2 pieces of lobster with meal. One had not be cleaned - meaning it had an obvious 2 inch strip of black vein ( poop ) still on lobster. I never think of this with lobster as an issue - only shrimp. never seen it before because i guess all restaurant lobster i have seen was cleaned ! when brought to managers attention he says " oh yeah - that happens from time to time ". she got a new lobster and i am even further removed from eating at a Red Lobster again. There is just too many better options. The look of restaurant is old and dated. read more

I have to admit, I have a problem with their scones. I eat wayyyyy too many. We had a group of 7 and we were able to get seated pretty quickly on a Saturday night. Service was pretty quick through the night and tons of scones! Even got a bag of scones to go! I had the Ultimate Surf and Turf, which had this tasty maple butter on the beans and potatoes. The lobster was cooked well, but the steak was pretty awful. But that's what you get for steak at a fish place. Tasted like there was no seasoning at all. Dessert portions were big and i was given an ice cream as it was my birthday! (just celebrated a bit late haha) Again, i'm not really a fan of Red Lobster. I just really love their scones. read more

Went in last Sunday for dinner to check out the renovations. Wasn't at all what I expected, it's more "Keg Like" now. Darker colors. I think I liked the way it was decorated before better, lots of ocean and harbor charm. Menu was the same, and I got my usual, the Shrimp Trio. Love it. This is the place I go to when I'm craving seafood and want a casual and not to expensive place to go too, because lets face it, with the cheese buns and the salad to start, Red Lobster is a good bang for your buck. Also love their Mango Mai Tai's! read more

I have a fondness for Red Lobster that will never leave me. My mom used to take me there for special Friday lunches where I ate popcorn shrimp and coloured in kid menus. Thus, I still like going to Red Lobster! We've been to this location multiple times - always good service. The biscuits are really good but as any good Red Lobster fan knows, if you ask for seconds you'll never finish your main meal. My boyfriend gets different "feasts" so I can't speak them. I ALWAYS get shrimp. In fact, my favourite time of year is Endless Shrimp. It is a good time to go as there is a lot of turn over with the shrimp, so it is generally fresh and tasty. I always order the shrimp alfredo and take it home for lunch the next day. Walt's shrimp are delish and my favourite are the coconut shrimp with pina colada dipping sauce. Overall, I understand that Red Lobster is not a seafood fine dining experience BUT I can say I enjoy it for what it is and will be back for more shrimp! read more

this is not a happy story... came here with a bunch of friends for a birthday party recently. parking was an absolute nightmare for this place(Saturday evening) to the point where I had to illegally park my car, turn off the car, and hang out for about 20 minutes until a legit spot was available, still early for the reservation thankfully. the party arrives and we enter the restaurant only to find that we had to wait for our table/seating, 30 minutes later, we end up finally sitting down, with the offer that some of the apps would be free for the whole table. ended up having two servers for the evening, which was ok, between the both of them they made minimal mistakes, which was fine. ordered some seafood and we were on the way. the apps came and everything was good, hot and tasted ok. we got our main courses, but we only got the main courses in sections, two people got their food first, two minutes later, six people got their food, two minutes later a couple more got it, at this point leaving one person behind for an additional five minutes(11 minutes from the first plate arriving for those keeping tabs) we all started to eat our food when all of a sudden one of our friends discovered that a shard of glass was mixed in with the rice. we called the manager over who kept very calm and professional over the whole situation. comped the meal for the gentleman, and gave a gift card. I was impressed with how he handled the situation, but not impressed with the situation all together. our friend who experienced this was bleeding from the mouth, and couldn't finish the rest of his meal, resulting in him not eating for a couple days afterwords. the food was delicious, hot and flavorful. but because of this incident I will never be coming back. we shouldn't be paying a premium for seafood and sides only to have this company not thoroughly go through the food that they serve, doesn't show respect for the people keeping the business open. the waiters were the only redeeming factor of the whole situation. never coming back. read more

Red Lobster has one thing going for it. Consistent food quality each and every time. Service is always great and the food is fresh and tasty. The menu is extensive and the all you can eat Cheese Biscuits are a nice touch! Great place for a chain restaurant. read more

Their lobster bisque is f*****g horrendous. Ceasar salad is disgusting and all their sefood is frozen. They really do not care about the place read more

Me and my husband went here for Valentine's Day dinner. The service was prompt and our server Freddie was extremely friendly. He truly was a joy. A small mishap happened with a cup of water, in which we totally brushed off because it was not a big deal. Two minutes later the manager Joaquin came over to apologize and took care of us. Everyone there had such a pleasant attitude. I will definitely be going back! read more

To start off, I have absolutely loved Red Lobster all my life. I got take out today at the Sherway location and got the most measly crushed 3/4 of 1 crab cake. The new crab cake appetizer. Absolutely pathetic and for over $8!!!!! Definitely will not be ordering that one again. The restaurant is awesome and I've been to this location many times, but this is pathetic!!! read more

Queensway Red Lobster is always packed. front desk staff & the servers are extremely friendly & attentive. This is our family's fav Red Lobster Menu: I love love their Caesar salad with freshly baked garlic cheese biscuits to start with. For main course I love their blacken Tilapia in Cajun or if I'm in the mood for red meat, their fire-grilled peppercorn sirloin steak medium rare, It is melt in your mouth tender. Other family members would order the ultimate feast and seafood linguini. They never disappoint. Portion is excellent. I find they are getting better at using less salt in the dishes. Atmosphere: it is an extremely busy location. It is always packed. Ed always have to wait to be seated but we don't mind. Busy is a good testament to the restaurant Price point: its not the cheapest or the most expensive, good value for your dollar Would go there again read more

Wow were do I start! This was my first visit to Red Lobster in many years. First this was a Birthday dinner for one of our party . There were 11 of us. Our bill was over $500.00 with the 15% tip already included on the bill. Sorry but this in not acceptable practice in Canada. However it was paid but not deserved. The walk from our table to the washrooms would take you threw the pre- kitchen panty. Weird and the floor was wet and dirty with spilled food from the plates being returned. This was a accident waiting to happen. Our server was not new but loud and UN-courteous. Reaching across peoples faces to remove plates with out saying excuse me is unacceptable in the dinning industry. 2 Caesars were made incorrectly???? A incorrect main course dish was brought to a member of our party not once but twice. How does this happen??? A member of our party ordered a lobster dish with pasta. A piece of lobster was Grey. She questioned this to the server. The answer she got was unacceptable so the server brought the manager to the table who told her and all of us that it because its Norwegian Lobster. This is a total incorrect statement. Not one of out party said there dish was good. This was a totally bad dinning experience. Red Lobster Etobicoke The reservation was under the name of Sandra Drakes read more

This review may be biased due to the fact that I've wanted seafood forEVER but no one would take me. So obviously it was amazing. It's like peeing after you hold it in; unreal. Anyway, last night my friend and I went to Red Lobster to satisfy this hankering. So LET me tell you about it, ahem: It was pouring rain; not impressed. But that's not Red Lobster's fault. Anyway it was quite busy for a Monday night so we got our little buzzy apparatus and sat at the bar. We were promptly greeted by a nice young lady and ordered two classic margaritas. During this time I like to check out the food situation going on over at different tables. One couple was sharing seafood nachos; looked amazing. Another guy had a burger. (like, what?). About 6.5 sips into my fancy beverage our buzzy thing, well, buzzed and we were sat. FINALLY! We were handed the standard menu as well as the seasonal one. My eyes immediately connected with the seafood stuffed mushroom caps, those babies sold themselves. We ordered those with Terry, right away. The current promotion that was offered was two entrees (mix and match) for 14.99 or three for 19.99. Pretty decent deal if you ask me. My friend was feeling the linguini so she chose the scallop and shrimp linguini and paired it with cheesy ranch battered shrimp. I knew what I wanted a month prior to this moment; butter sauce, with a side of lobster. I got the fisherman's dish which included a lobster tail, shrimp skewer, garlic shrimp, rice and green beans. Personally I would've substituted extra rice for one of the shrimp choices but whatever, still delicious. Both of our meals came with a side salad, and of course those heavenly rolls. Oh, the rolls. I could sing songs about the rolls. Nicholas Sparks can't write the kind of love that the rolls and I share. Our mushroom caps came and they were delectable. Soft mushrooms stuffed with lobster, crab, shrimp and topped with cheese. My stomach was going to have a talk with me later on but that was future Barbara's problem. After we literally inhaled the mushrooms, and dipped another roll in the remainder of the cheese and butter from the appetizer, it wasn't long before the main event, the George St. Pierre of the evening showed up. Everything tasted...amazing. I took some shrimp off the skewer and mixed it with the rice and beans, (yes, I'm a mixer). One thing that I found tedious was the tail on the shrimp. I really wish the chefs could somehow take them off for me. When I'm having a nice dinner I don't want to work too hard, and this was prolonging the shrimp from entering my mouth. Miniscule roadblock in an otherwise scrumptious dining experience. I didn't want to brag but my meal choice round-house kicked my friend's dish in the face. Her linguini was good but nothing life changing. and I'm not a fan of deep fried, battered, seafood. The cheesy ranch shrimp were too battered for my liking, but the sauce was pretty good. I was finished with my lobster and shrimp but still had a little bit of butter sauce left over so I utilized it to the best of my capabilities, dipping beans, rolls, fingers, mints, spoons in it. We obviously passed on dessert to avoid a cardiac arrest. All in all it was a very satisfying experience and a great time to go due to the promotion. My name is Barbara, and I seafood differently. read more

I went to this restaurant because my family enjoys sea food. We went two months ago and the food was ok, so we decided to give it a second chance. But this time the food was terrible. I ordered a calamari and it was over cooked. My partner tried the soup and it was super salty. Nothing was edible. What a disappointment! i will try to avoid this place in the future! read more

A week ago, I got served by a waiter named Gracie (I'm pretty sure that's what her name was) and everyone was super nice, but then there was just her giving me some side glare. I found it very disrespectful, so please watch out for her. Thank you read more

Longest wait for tables, nearly 1.5 hrs and slow service and even though we came as a group of 10 (we did requested for 2 tables just incase the wait would be too long and didn't have to wait for a big table) when we came to sat down we noticed there was another empty table next to ours for a group of 5 but they gave it to a couple that came much later than us... read more

My family and I went here for my birthday. Absolutely delicious!!! My mother and I shared the bar harbour seafood bake. Huge portions!! Service was absolutely amazing. Always a great dining experience. read more

Standard Red Lobster. Went for a late lunch at 2:30 and received some of the worst service I have had in years. The food was good (well, for Red Lobster - this is not a stellar place for seafood), but the non alcoholic margarita was tasteless. 20+ minutes to get the drink service. Jin seemed somewhat distracted and overloaded. read more

My husband and I had a very disappointing meal here last night. Firstly taken to a table by the emergency exit and felt more like a cafeteria, there was a cold draught coming through the door so had to sit with my scarf on and coat around my shoulders. He ordered surf and turf and I ordered the shrimp linguine. His steak was very red in the middle and had asked for it well done, however the lobster tail was burnt! My pasta dish was Luke warm and very bland and runny. As we left I mentioned to the hostess that it was very cold at that table, I should have complained about the food but really just wanted to leave asap. Will not be returning to this establishment as it is highly overrated. read more

I regularly eat garbage, but this made me sick. In all honesty, I've eaten here 3 times and each time had minor food poisoning. Any other RL and I have been fine. read more

Very good size and service. Very tasty food. Some dish is a little bit salty to me, but I think eat very light as home. Overall, very good experience. Will come back again! read more

Bad service, we had to wait 2 hrs to get table. Waiter came over 30mins after we sit down. Bad music too.

super awesome staff. though the food was a bit heavy. Not like I remember when I was growing up in Kitchener. still a great place to go for shrimp! :) read more

Wow that was disgusting! It took until the middle of my meal to realize what I was eating was supposed to calamari. The scallops tasted fishy. I'm sure they were no good and the fish was all grease and batter. Everything was so over salted it was terrible. The waitress dropped us our crappy food on over sized plates that they didn't even try to fill and never came back. Don't waste your time on this over priced food. read more

Red Lobster - The calamari I dissected the next day to see what I was eating. ??? That's not food - Seafood Near Me - Etobicoke, Ontario

It was supposed to be a good Friday night at a good restaurant with my husband, but it was not: *we were not specified about extra charge for the menu options; *the waitress was all the time chatting with another customer and forgot our orders; *I receved the wrong side dish; *after received our meal, the waitress asked about it, but didn't stay to hear the answer; *I had to asked 2x for a fork, and even interrupted the waitress' chat after being waiting for more than 10 min; *we were confronted by the waitresses when we were trying to give our opinion... etc The main issue was the service, the waitress was really unprofessional. My husband and I even saw 2 other tables complain about her. The only positive thing that I can say from this night was that the manager were really good and nice, he came to our table and deal with the situation very professional. read more

Unfortunately the quality has gone completely downhill and service meh- bar was great but after sitting down ...Bad experience. We go to red lobster often as it is my boyfriends favourite - he loves the ultimate feast. I could take it or leave it & after last night leave it , I do not recommend -our appetizers came with toast that looked eaten - I asked for the sauce on the fish tacos on the side (twice )and they killed it I removed the taco shells from the middle to scrape off the sauce I told the waiter and he asked if he could remove i said sure thinking he would have replaced - nope - garbage gross meal read more

The real reason why I came here was to compare their cheddar bay biscuits to my own. They were just plain ol' biscuits to me. I ordered grilled shrimps and lobster tails and it was just too bland. Lack of seasoning and flavour. I'm used to eating lobster Chinese-style so dipping my lobster in butter was not gonna cut it for my taste buds. The only reason I'm giving 3 stars instead of 2 is because of the service. read more

Ordered the shrimp and they were grey and bitter tasting. They offered to recook the order but it came back still tasting bitter. Manager offered to switch for another dish but didn't comp or discount, and even charged us the extra dollar difference between the shrimp and fish and chips. The replacement dish was edible but not very good, the batter was soggy and the fish fell apart into slivers. Server was very nice though. read more

Overpriced low quality food. My husband had a haddock and he said it did not taste very fresh so we asked the waiter. He said he'd check and said it was frozen, and so it was. What a shame, advertising that their fish is 100% fresh but it turned out to be frozen. I've tried much better grade lobster elsewhere, but the lobster would've been ok, if it was not drenched in butter. Extremely salty and unhealthy food. I do not understand how this place passes 2017 health regulations. My son had crab legs, and there was little meat, and did not taste that fresh. Terrible food! The service was good, except there was one huge woman that was rude ans gave me dirty stares throughout my meal which made the stay extremely uncomfortable. read more

I ordered the lobster lover's dream and sadly, it wasn't very good. Both lobster tails were tough. So disappointed, as it's not an inexpensive meal. The service was very good though, as always. I do find the food here is hit and miss. read more

We went there last night for dinner and had Lindsey as our server. She was amazing from the beginning to end, very friendly. The kitchen staff also sent out an extra lobster tail since they thought the one they gave me was too small. Definitely coming back read more

all the dishes are not prepared properly at all compared to other red lobster locations! :( soo groooss.

Got food poisoning from eating baked stuffed sole from this location in 2005. Threw up for a week and lost 5 pounds. Haven't been back to a Red Lobster since. read more

This place is amazing, the food is veryyy good, but the best in this place is the server Nadine (is not the girl , it's the Lady) , she is the best, she is so friendly, with us, and special with our son, she is focus in the service, and in all details, she is the difference in this restaurant read more

Went to this Red Lobster with my family and had great food and great service. Definitely a fan of this location.
