I went here on my birthday last week, and had a really great time! The only reason I am giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because my food was a little over cooked. My waitress Megan went out of her way to really make my experience special, she even wrote "Happy Birthday" on my plate in chocolate syrup. I was very glad when they decided not to sing me happy birthday though, because I really hate that! My drink was delicious and of course the biscuits were divine. My meal was unfortunately a little over cooked though. As for the service and the atmosphere, it was fantastic! I will be going back here again! read more

Our family celebrated my sister's 68th birthday on last Wednesday at the Red Lobster in Fairfield. We had a party of 10. Our server was Keith. Keith was soo polite, courteous, attentive. He did not get frustrated at all. He got all of our orders correct. He was great from the beginning to the end. When we come back we want to sit in his section. Thanks Keith for making our visit wonderful. read more

I went to Red Lobster last night with my 3 kids and ordered the 17.99 four meal course that's offered from Monday-Thursday. We also ordered 2 drinks for 2.99 each. And that's all we ordered. Nothing more. Ask me how the heck did my bill end up to be over $100. I didn't realize this until I got home. Please check your receipts before you leave. I'm so over this place. The food isn't that great either. read more

Usually the food and service here is great. However, on our last visit, our party of five was squeezed into a smaller booth for 4 because we were told the larger booths didn't have wait service for another 30 min. Huh? That was unacceptable. The food was good--not great. The stuffed shrimp was gummy. The scampi was better. However, bumping elbows with others in order to eat made the experience less than satisfying. read more

Every time i come here i have a very enjoyable experience. my standards and expectations of any place i spend my money is VERY HIGH and this place never fails me. i am always seated fast, even on busy days, the servers are always friendly and knowledgable, the food is always done perfect and the prices are always decent and never expensive. But what i love most about it is the ambiance and how intimate and private each seat is. the lighting is very dim (but not too dim) and you never feel like you are eating with a bunch of strangers like other restaurants. I LOVE THIS PLACE!! read more

Visited Red Lobster today in Fairfield, CA for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic. It appeared from first observation that all the health guidelines were being followed. As we entered several signs were posted stating, "MUST WEAR A MASK", paper menus were utilized, every other seat was made unavailable for 6 feet distancing, all employees wore masks. I said to my wife, "this is really good, Red Lobster is actually adhering to the guidelines". As we sat, waiting to order and while eating our food, we began to see many, many people enter into the establishment without masks (eating in and picking up takeout). Red Lobster failed following there own "MUST WEAR A MASK" guideline. It bothered me more and more as time went on. If you go to this Red Lobster you are eating there at the risk of being infected. read more

I love crab so much and have been to multiple crab feeding locations...this is by far the worst. Came here once and assumed it was just a bad day...came once more, but was unammused. The server was great, but the portions for the cost were astonishing! Not coming back again read more

My family and I just ate here a few hours ago. i must say we were very impressed with this red lobster. i called to see if they took reservations they said no but its a 30-45 minute wait. we arrived and i told them 5 people for Adrianne and they said the wait would be 30-40 mins. 10 mins later our name was called. we were very surprised. usually at restaurants we wait longer than the wait time they give us. we sat down and the waitress was really nice to us. she got our drink orders and brought us some bread. she brought our drinks out and then took our order. the only thing is that she forgot my nephews milk a couple of times after having to remind her about it. our food came out in about 10 mins. and after a few bits we were already full from the salad and bread. the only things i didnt like was that the plates were sooooooo hot i burnt myself. overall we had a really good experience and we were only there for about an hour and fifteen minutes. definitely recommend this red lobster. read more

Our family of 4 arrived for an early dinner around 4:45. We were seated right away, took 10 minutes for server to arrive. She took our order, 10 minutes later drinks arrive. Another 10 minutes later, salad. TWENTY minutes later, entrees arrive and we have to ask for our soup. She said "oh, I didn't bring your soup? Are you sure?" UM, YES. I'M SURE. AAARRRGHH. Soup comes 10 mins later. We don't see her for another 20 minutes. We just ask for boxes and for our dessert to go, pay and leave. Food was delicious, hence the 3 stars. She was also serving a table across from us and they looked pretty unhappy too. This was our 3rd visit, 3rd server, 3rd instance of poor service. I never post about one bad experience because we can all have a bad day. Three times a charm! read more

I haven't eaten at a Red Lobster in a long time. My nephew ordered the chicken caesar salad and a bowl of clam chowder. I ordered the shrimp jambalaya and also a bowl of clam chowder. Service was good and she was very attentive. I think the clam chowder needed to be a bit more heated, but it was tasty. The shrimp jambalaya was very good too. My nephew couldn't finish his salad, and it was actually good. Those biscuits sure were good too. Would I go back? Only, if someone else is paying. Besides, lunch prices weren't that bad at all. read more

My parents were celebrating their anniversary tonight. I am not in the area, but wanted to do something special. I spoke with Wesley, the manager, who happily offered to send a dessert to their table with a "happy anniversary" note written in chocolate. My parents were stoked!!! Thanks so much, Wesley, for making it happen! read more

You get what you pay for... The lobster taste like it's been sitting in swamp water...

It was my fiancés 40th birthday. Instead of eating there, we decided to do a to go order. There were 11 meals. The manager John was very helpful. Mikaela was the waitress at the bar who helped with our order. At first, we told our order couldn't be completed over the phone, and that they could not make us lobster rolls. It was a Saturday night, and the restaurant was packed! But, Red Lobster pulled through, and out order was on point! My fiance had a great birthday, and everyone was happy. Thank you Red Lobster! read more

OMG, The food was amazing!!! Our Server, Michelle, was VERY polite, helpful, and pleasant!! The service was much quicker than usual, and even though it still was long, It was worth it!! read more

The food here is good, the prices slightly higher than what they should be, and the cleanliness and atmosphere is about average. What stands out here is the SERVICE. Everyone is very friendly and quick and attentive, particularly MICHELLE. My wife and I have had her twice now and she is simply unbelievable. She has a permanent smile on her face, she's super friendly, patient, follows up on any requests and always makes sure you have what you need and you're happy. The first time she was do awesome I requested for her manager to cone to the table and I gave her the positive feedback. This time, it's Yelp. If you go here (and you should!) request "Michelle's section". You'll be glad you did. read more

Haven't been to red lobster in a while so me and my family decided to go and service was amazing food came quick she always checked to make sure everything was good so service is good no question about it but the food was just bland didn't taste fresh but biscuits we good as usual over all this place was good! read more

The admiral's feast and peach frozen margarita are GREAT! The only irk is the higher prices for some basic dishes.

Great dinner of rainbow trout. Open fire grilled to perfection

Best lunch ever! I took a very old friend, who is extremely picky...and she was happy! :o) Their baked potatoes really are the best! I had the talapia tacos and they were amazing, too. But, the VERY best reason this visit was Evonne! What a doll. So caring, friendly, happy, precious and CUTE!! She could really get a job at any restaurant in Napa Valley and make a ton more money! I hope Red Lobster appreciates the server they have in Evonne! Thank you sooo much! I meant to fill out the online questionaire but time got away from me. I hope this helps! read more

Nice customer service. I just wish they had wild salmon instead of farm raised. And more organic options. That would get them my 5th star.

I recently came back to a newly remodeled Red Lobster and both the atmosphere and the service was much better. The place looked clean and our waiter was attentive. I'm still not a huge fan of Red Lobster's food in general but I do love their clam chowder & cheddar biscuits! read more

Food was pretty average. They had only 1 beer on tap that day!!! Lame. Also maybe my mistake was ordering a steak at a seafood place. It was overdone and kind of dry. The shrimp with crab was good. Had a good sauce over it. Cheddar biscuits always on point and our service was very good. Only came because our work took us there to eat, otherwise I go somewhere else for seafood. read more

Average food for a red lobster, nothing extraordinaire that would stand this place apart from the rest. They have the lobesteritas and other mixed drinks. The combos and specials that all other red lobsters offer. Only thing I can that stands this place out would be the people who serve you here. Anything that has gone wrong with my orders has probably gone wrong here, not by the fault of my server, but someone else dropped the ball. But typically my server, the many numerous times I've been here, has offerred more than graciously to take care of, take it off the bill, or do what ever it takes to apease me. Honestly, I don't expect much from a franchise chain restaurant near a mall. But I am pleasantly surprised by the service here, but be forewarned, the lobsters may not be the only thing in line to end their tasty lives at this place, for the lines and crowds can be stupendeously long. Food= average liquor service = below average waiter/waitress = great read more

I rarely make it out to Red Lobster, mainly because I always think of it as commercialized. This time around I had the Parmesan Crusted Tilapia which was really good! I would definitely order that again! And of course you can't go to Red Lobster without having some of their yummy cheese bread! The service could be a little better. We had to wait longer than we should have to be seated, because they somehow skipped over our name. But once we finally got seated, out waiter was very attentive, knowledgeable and fast! read more

Food, decent. Staff, VERY attentive. Came in and was warmly greeted by the front-of-the-house host. Very well-mannered. My mother and I had a hankering for some shrimp and went for the Festival of Shrimp special where you can choose two shrimp items for $12.99 or three for $17.99. I chose their new items for my two, Tequila-Lime Shrimp Tacos and Potato-Crusted Shrimp, along with a side of steamed broccoli. The tacos were simple, yet delicious. Didn't taste any tequila, but the lime part came from the lime slice that came on the side. The potato-crusted shrimp was very crispy and the crust was very light; kind of like you're eating french fries that have been stuffed with shrimp. It came with a bacon ranch dipping sauce, but the shrimp was already well seasoned that it didn't need any dip to make it better. Overall meal was just plain and simple, nothing to rave much about. However, it would be a crime miss out on their yummy Cheddar Bay Biscuits. Instead of refilling our waters with a pitcher, they actually brought out brand new glasses! read more

Everything was so perfect! Not knowing they closed at 8:30 we arrived at 8:00 had we known we would have went somewhere else. They made us feel so welcome and we didn't feel rushed at all and the food tasted so delicious! Kathleen was our server and she was very attentive and sweet read more

Menu seems to have changed for the worst with less choices since the last time i've eaten here. Drinks and appetizers are best part of the experience. The rest of the food is basic nothing better than what I can pick up in the frozen foods section of the grocery store and heat up myself. I know it's a chain but for the prices of seafood I would at least expect it to taste fresher. The service leaves a lot to be desired, especially basics like drink refills and not having to wait 5-10 minutes for a steak knife after your steak has been delivered. Overall decent place to stop for quick lunch but keep driving if you are looking for a relaxing dinner meal. Restrooms are very clean which always a plus! read more

What a disappointment! Haven't been to a Red Lobster in years. It's 100 degrees out today and my 95 year old mother-in-law wanted a shrimp salad for lunch. They had an advertised lunch special with a grilled shrimp salad and a cup of soup for $7.99. A great price but we definitely got what we paid for. The salad consisted of about a cup of nutritionally barren iceberg lettuce. That was topped with exactly 4 very small grilled shrimp, 3 far from ripe cherry tomatoes, and 4 burnt croutons. Lobster bisque was good but only about 4 ounces of soup. Come on Red Lobster! At least have a healthy greens option for the salads! read more

Our first time at this restaurant and not happy so far Came In at 525pm on a Saturday were told 15-20 mins wait for two of us so we went the the bar and ordered a drink. We finished that and checked on our table it was just coming ready as we went to our table in the far corner very back of the restaurant I noticed that most of the tables were empty. We sat ordered drinks and food since we had plenty of time to look at the menu. The biscuits came quick. The Diet Coke and water not here. Those where still at least 5mins from arriving. Salad and soup came at about 630. By now I'm ready to pack up dinner and go. Dinner arrived at 643. Hubbys salmon came grilled not blackened. Our server was very nice not sure where the service failure was. But it was a failure for us for sure! Server came to see if we were doing okay and I just asked for a box. I'm done. Was going to splurge on dessert for my husbands bday. I think we will better off getting something else. Let's see how long it takes for the box and the check. They came 5 mins in. For the 62.00 plus drinks and tips. Money and evening wasted! read more

The wait was long but it was worth the wait. Our server Rochelle was excellent and the food was spot-on! Best Red Lobster visit I've had and I've gone to several over the years. Both managers were on the floor checking on things :) read more

Very busy, sat at the bar. They changed their menu. One of our favorites was gone, the New England Sampler. That was always a good one as a meal when you weren't in the mood for one of their large meals. If their going to change something, they need to rethink their salad dressing. Taste funny. Tried something new. Was very good and there was plenty for left overs the next day. read more

Ok I have been to red lobster numerous times but today especially was very good. Each dish was cooked to perfection. I'm very impressed today. Aunty had the crab cakes and salmon, baby has his steak and lobster (steak was cooked EXACTLY how we asked), and I had the snow crabs and crab linguine. Portions were generous and nothing was dry. Good job Red Lobster in FAIRFIELD read more

Not the greatest experience! I am usually a red Lobster fan but the one in Fairfield was not great, I mean everyone comes to red lobster for those FAMOUS Cheddar Biscuits! When my Boyfriend and I decided to go there for a date night our waiter was very rude and you can tell he hated his Job lol, When we received our Biscuits they had a funny after taste as if the pan they used to bake wasn't thoroughly clean it tasted like oil, then once we ordered our food it took another hour after our food came I was so hungry and already dissatisfied with the Biscuits , I then realized their was a hair in my food. So it got sent back to the kitchen ! Long horrible story short. After our last visit I have been turned off with the quality of service and food. -get it together red Lobster- read more

Love my dish lobster,shrimp and salmon. I recommend this dish along with the calamari and spinach artichoke lobster dip. read more

Customer service is seriously lacking and the food isnt what it used to be. I wish it was as good as i remember it being in the past. Definitely not worth the money read more

I live less than 5 minutes from red lobster. I am babysitting so I used door dash. Door dash was very prompt and polite. But red lobster did not package the food with everything it was supposed to ha inside. Part of the food was hot but the claim strips and shrimp were ice cold. I called red lobster and their manager, Vahid, said they are "not responsible for their mistakes because I ordered through a third party." He would not offer a refund or a replacement or even an apology for the inedible food. He said multiple times, "we are not responsible for our mistakes unless you come in." Never again! read more

Used to really like this place until they decided to turn the lights up to BRIGHT at the bar during dinner. I felt like I was in a Chinese cafeteria during lunch hour. Save your money and go to Panda Garden if that's the atmosphere you want. I have a disability which consists of a permanently dilated eye. NO ONE CARED when I complained. It was extremely painful for me. Thanks Red Lobster for not caring... read more

Abundance of food; pretty reasonably priced. Very good service. Is it award-winning cuisine? No, but that's not what you'd expect. Some of the food was better than other but it's a solid dining experience. Reliably consistent read more
