I have LOVED Red Lobster for years! LOVED. I could never imagine being as disappointed as I was today for lunch. I simply wanted to order something quick to go and ordered the stuffed mushrooms. I was shocked when I picked them up and they were MUSHED into about a 1 cup container. They were totally awful. If anyone would have told me they received something terrible like this I wouldn't have believed it. Please, RL, EVERY dish matters!!! So extremely disappointed. read more

Can not remember waitress name, but excellent service. I used gift cards for the 4 of us. I always buy a couple of hundred dollars of gift cards to take my family there when in town. I am very happy with the way we were served. Fast and friendly. Great food, fantastic biscuits. Thank you again. Wish I would have took receipt so I could remember her name but left it with gift card for tip. read more

We came to the Red Lobster in Fargo. The service was great, food was delicious, and the waitress was nice.

one of the most favorite places. Delicious food a little expensive, but big plates. I like it : soup, Desserts and all seafood plus veggies on the grill. read more

Aright, let me preface this review by saying that our waitress was absolutely wonderful. She was so kind, and knowledgeable about their menu, which is a nice change of how the wait staff usually is. However, the food was not the best. I've definitely had better at red lobster, but it was good, enough to fill me up. But what really was poor about this visit was the wait time. Sure, I get it, you're going to wait a while for everything on at Saturday at Dinner time... but spending 2+ hours at a restaurant seems a bit excessive, especially when most of it was waiting, and we didn't even get our biscuits until 35 minutes in. No complaints to our waitress, but perhaps the kitchen should stay on top of their orders a bit better? Will return, but probably not any time soon. read more

My one star is simply based on the host station's ability to communicate and manage seating. We had a large party, arrived at 11 am on a Saturday (they open at 11) and were the first in the door. Setting up our table was simple (I've worked as a server); it involved pushing two tables together. My gripe is that it took 20 minutes to accomplish this task. Our servers were attentive, courteous and did a fine job. read more

Every couple of years I think "Hey, Red Lobster sounds good". Then I go and eat there and think "Oh yeah, it's not that great." I may be expecting too much of a seafood restaurant located near the geographical center of the continent. Most of the food tastes like it was just taken out of the sysco bag and microwaved. That being said, the prices aren't too bad and the last time I was there the service was very attentive and friendly. See you in a couple years Red Lobster! read more

Pretty good food here, took awhile to get our drinks but after that it was smooth sailing, I would recommend the coconut shrimp all of our food came our quick and it was all excellent food for a red lobster. Also was nice to see a few lobster swimming around when you first walk in read more

Service was lacking. No fault of the servers but rather management not having enough servers. We waited 15 minutes before a server finally saw us sitting with menus still. She said she didn't know who or where our server was so she took our order. Restaurant wasn't even that busy for a Monday night. read more

Slow to be greeted at the table and warm in the dining room today. My fish was cooked way too long, very poor. Wife's food was much better. Normally I think the food is ok to average but today was bad. read more

Excellent service, reliably great food. Crabfest is going on now- get Bairdi crab. Cheddar bay biscuits - need I say more!

Stopped by on Saturday night around 9 p.m. We were the only people in the bar. A group of 5-8 servers were eating, rubbing each others backs, talking about getting wasted later that night. Awkward. Had an app and left. App was good though. read more

Exceptional service by Steve even after there was confusion about what my mom had ordered. Food was top notch, too. Very good Lobster Roll! We had a great experience. I had not been to a Red Lobster in several years. read more

Red Lobster brings back memories of birthdays, family celebrations and a treat. That was in the 90s and who didn't love the 90s? Now as my culinary world has expanded and my pallet has become richer. I feel Red Lobster has been left in the dust. Abandoned on my shelf to pick up and dust off for a minute of nostalgia; only to be reminded that I'm bored with their flavors. Over all they have good food. It's consistent and served by a delightfully happy group of waiters and waitresses. Cheddar Bay Biscuits are still a savory comfort. A basic salad is lacking lettuce with the color green, but the cherry tomatoes add the color the salad greens are missing. Their new menu is expansive and has much more seafood featured than it had in the past. So overall if you enjoy a good meal and a welcoming waitstaff, this is the place to pick up your fork. read more

Red Lobster for me is all about the Cheddar Bay Biscuits, consistently delicious. The service can be pretty hit or miss in my experience at this location. The food at Red Lobster is decent although don't expect giant fresh scallops or anything. It's a decent place for a large family or group to eat though. read more

stopped in for lunch on Sunday afternoon. Tried the 2 lobster tail special. It was awesome!!! I recommend trying these. Not out for long as they are part of the lobsterfest menu. Service was great and very efficient. Waitress was very helpful and could answer all our questions. Still great food at a decent price! read more

I ordered take out. The shrimp scampi, fried shrimp and cocktail sauce all spilled and mixed together. Wrong dressing for my salad, no butter for my baked potatoe. read more

Writing a review about a huge chain restaurant seems like a mute point. But the Fargo location is always busy when we go. Takes quite awhile to get seated and the place is always packed during evening dinner hours. With that, service is pretty prompt and attentive. Food comes out quicker than expected. Definitely isn't cheap, but it's good. Don't go here often because of the price, but worth the seafood treat once in awhile, since we are in the midwest.. don't get many other options. read more

Red Lobster used to be one of my fave places to go. Unless we caught them on a bad night, I will not be returning. The wait was minima--15 mins for 6:15 arrival. Waitress took our drink and food orders, and we received our salads and biscuits right away. Caesar salads were teeny tiny, like maybe only 3/4 cup total. Then the wait for our food began. My daughter was meeting a friend for a movie at 7:45. By 7:35, we STILL didn't have our food. My husband finally got up and decided he would take her to the theater and come back and eat his food. 10 mins after he left, our food arrived. I told the waiter (not the one who took our order) that we needed her Caesar salad boxed up because she had to leave. He was all, not a prob. On his way back to the kitchen, he met our server and must have communicated this to her. She looked my way and looked very irritated. My wood grilled shrimp was rubbery, and unless my memory serves me incorrectly, it is supposed to come with melted butter. None was brought. Portions were very small and not worth the price tag. My empty glass of Diet Coke sat on the edge of our table for 15 mins with our waitress walking past and not noticing it. Finally another waitress asked me what I was drinking and brought me a refill. My husband arrived back from dropping our daughter off...I never asked him if his food was cold, but I'm guessing it was. No offer was made to keep it warm until he got back. Not once were my husband and I asked if our food was to our liking or if we needed anything. Very disappointing, Fargo Red Lobster. You lost yourself two loyal customers. read more

Ordered French dressing, got ranch. Ordered drawn butter, got cocktail sauce. Ordered from lunch menu, charged dinner menu price. Good food but poor service! read more

About as good as you would expect a Red Lobster to be. Not too long of a wait, though quite a few people did come in after us. Waitress was very upbeat and pleasant, was very prompt with our salads, bread, and drink refills. Food came out at a good pace, and was cooked perfectly. Would definitely go back if I was in the mood for seafood again. You know what to expect at a Red Lobster, and this one didn't disappoint. read more

My wife and I haven't been here in a long time. Valentine's day brought a huge crowd but were seated fairly quick. We both ordered the Lobsterfest surf and turf and it was fantastic. Our server, although very busy, took very good care of us. We won't wait so long to come back. read more

Nice atmosphere and good food. Wait time can be a problem depending on what time you plan on visiting, evening hours are the busiest so plan accordingly. Take out service is OK, our order got messed up several times but management is caring and always follows up. read more

Our visit was horrible. Server David O in the bar was our attendant. Took 15 min at least to get our drinks and longer yet to get our order taken. This man had no knowledge of the menu or items offered with each meal. He had to come back 3 times to ask questions about what we ordered. Finally another server took over and it took another 20 min to get our order submitted. I got a crab linguini that the noodles had been overcooked. Slimy. She ordered the pick your own appetizer with two stuffed mushroom orders and a garden salad with ranch. It took another half hour to get our food. I got everything I ordered but she only received one order of stuffed mushrooms. At the end of it all the guy tried to make it seem like it was a good deal since she received a normal size portion instead of the two she actually ordered? That's terrible service and he knew it. Charged full price for the entire thing and we won't be coming back any time soon. Walked in at 6, just left now at 7:50. read more

We had the lobster fest it was amazing! Food wad to die for service was great. I would highly recommend it.

My 90+ year old mom and I came here for lunch recently. If I hadn't been with her, I'd have walked out, asked for a different server, or at least left him no tip. The server's attitude was horrible. The hostess and the young man who took our plates were spot on. The food here isn't good enough, at all, to warrant such horrible "service." There are far better places to eat in Fargo with FAR better service. read more

What happened to this place! Our experience in general was just awful. First off, the service was terribly slow. We asked for bread right away for my young daughter as she was hungry, and that took forever to come. Next, we ordered salads except they were out of cheese and croutons, so it came with lettuce and onions. Not so good, and the biscuits lacked because of the missing cheese. Finally, we went during crab fest and they were out of a number of the crab fest items... which makes no sense. The crab legs my husband and father got were from the bottom of the barrel, and super cold. Our meal in general was just not warm. To make matters worse, when did they raise the prices so high? We used to go there a lot but it just gone down hill so much. It is not worth a dollar to eat there. To top things off, we had to wait over a half hour for our tab. With a 1 year old, this is not easy. Go somewhere else for a nice family dinner, I promise you it is not worth it! read more

Great location been there many times already always a good time service is top notch food quality is awesome

Lets see, where do I begin. We walked in the restaurant and it was quite empty about 4 pm on a weekday. The hostess takes our name and says have a seat and wait! So we wait about 7-8 minutes. No one is there waiting with us, just my wife and I. Hostess comes back and says Judy party of 2...is there a Judy here? We were the only 2 people in the place and she is looking for us! We are standing right in front of her! lol! We get to out table and here comes the phoney waitress bathed in very smelly overpowering perfume. She hands us the menu and starts to explain the menu to us. HECK I might not be a mensa but I can read. So we politely listen to her scripted bs. Then she has to tell us what HER fav thing on the menu is... um, like we care. As the evening progresses we notice all the other servers doing the same thing! They are all acting like scripted phoney insincere condescending robots...and they are all telling other customers what their fav menu item is! Makes me think they are all STEPFORD WAITRESSES! Are WE ready to order? Are WE enjoying our dinner? Are WE having anything to drink with that? Are WE done with that? Are WE finished here? And the infamous line HOW'S THAT TASTIN? Ugg. Shut up and leave us alone! The waitress was getting so very annoying-we just wanted a quiet dinner for 2 and she was constantly bothering us. Finally I said if we need anything we will call you just to get her out of our face. Food was typical rl quality, nothing great but ok. The cheddar biscuits were bland and not as good as they usually are. Music choice was awful for dining and too loud. Not a pleasant experience for a 120.00 tab. read more
