Overall, I'd give this visit 4 stars. The food was very tasty, arrived hot, and everything was prepared well. The Cheddar Bay Biscuits were as good as ever, and I still love their Caesar dressing. We ordered the lobster baked potato, fettuccine, and crab asparagus, then shared everything so we could sample a variety of dishes. It made for a great meal and gave us the chance to enjoy several menu items. The service is what pushed this experience from a 3-star meal to a 4-star one. Our server has been there for many years, and she always takes excellent care of us. It's nice to see familiar faces, and her attentiveness, friendliness, and experience made the meal much more enjoyable. My biggest concern is the cost. Like many restaurants, prices have increased significantly over the years, and Red Lobster has become more of a special-occasion restaurant for us than a regular stop. The portions are generous, but I honestly wish they offered smaller portion options at a lower price point. We'd likely visit much more often if there were lighter, more affordable choices available. That said, the food quality was excellent, the service was outstanding, and we left satisfied. A solid 4-star experience. read more

Red Lobster has long been one of my fav's when it comes to a pricey treat. The complimentary Cheddar Bay Biscuits get us (and most other people) in the door but the menu is full of great options, most seafood but a few not. We started with Lobster Dip which consists of lobster, spinach, and artichoke, mixed in a 3 cheese blend and served with tortilla chips. An absolutely delicious appetizer and a great start to the dinner. Of course during that we indulged in a great many of the fantastic Cheddar Bay Biscuits. For my main course I got the Admiral's Feast which included fried shrimp, clam strips, flounder, and bay scallops all fried to a golden brown and comes with 2 sides. All of the seafood elements were delicious (especially the scallops which are my favourite seafood) although with everything being fried was a little one note. I got hushpuppies and a baked potato as the sides. The hushpuppies were excellent but unfortunately the potato was very undercooked which left the majority of it largely inedible. We also split an order of bacon wrapped scallops which were fantastic. The service was mostly good which has been usual at Red Lobster. The restaurant as usual was very clean and classy and you get that awesome walk past the big crab/lobster tank in the front of the store. All in all a great meal and a fantastic treat. read more

You know what has gotten better about Red Lobster? Their rewards program. Some really cool offers if you subscribe to the emails. The food was good - the cajun pasta was okay. The calamari with dragon sauce was amazing. Our waitress was very kind and helpful. They werent super busy on a week night- the restaurant kind of felt empty. Little pricey, but its seafood so what do you expect? Good, not great. read more

Red Lobster has really stepped their game back up. I know it went downhill for a while but I recently went back and it did not disappoint. I went when happy hour was still going on so i got a Tito's strawberry lemonade for only $5 and it was tasty and my fiancé wanted to try their new seafood boil. It was sooo good! I have the shrimp three ways and it was great also! Our server was very nice, the restaurant was clean and overall had a very pleasant experience. We will be back soon!! read more

We had dinner here earlier this evening. We hadn't been to RL since before I changed my way of eating. (No butter, cream, dairy, oils of any kind) . Our server was great! His name was Angel & he went above & beyond to make sure the items I ordered for dinner were cooked the way I requested and he made sure that my salad didn't have croutons & bacon. My husband enjoyed the Endless Shrimp special. We both enjoyed our meals and again kudos to Angel for providing excellent service!!! read more

Had the most amazing crab boil i cant wait to go back. Go and get you that spicy lemon peper butter! read more

Red Lobster - Mariners Boil with Lemon Pepper Butter - Seafood Near Me - Florence, Kentucky

Service was very good. Food was average. Nothing great certainly not worth the price. I wanted plain butter flavor for my boil but was told I had to choose from their list of flavors which did not include just butter! I end up with a very peppery lemon butter that ruined my meal read more

Never order steak from a seafood place. They offer it on surf and turf but they don't know how to cook one. Also I prefer my food hot not warm. They must have a horrible cook. The waitress was very nice as was the manager. The atmosphere was nice and the restaurant was very comfortable. read more

Made reservations for 5:45 on 2-14. We knew that it would be crowded, but when we got to the restaurant there was a line waiting to check in. Strike 1 Finally checked in around 5:55 and was told that there would be an hour plus wait but shorter wait time than walk ins. Why make a reservation if you still have to wait an hour plus. Strike 2 A member of our party walked around the restaurant and counted 10 empty tables. Apparently, they were short staffed in the kitchen and were unable to fill the tables. So instead of telling the lobby filled with people or putting a quick note on the website, they let patrons wait for an hour and had the lobby filled with people not knowing why. Strike 3. We decided not to wait and received a text message at 6:55 that our table was ready. An hour and 10 min past our reservation. Completely unacceptable. We usually do eat at Red Lobster because of the cost and problems we've had in the past. We received a gift card for $100 And thought we'd give it a try one more try. Well that totally worked out for us, didn't it? We had to go somewhere else to eat. We are a family of 6 and money doesn't grow on trees. We had to eat at another restaurant and pay $140 out of pocket. We feel we should be reimbursed for the gift card we had...$100. The hostess was trying seat people and check others in at the same time. Management didn't even know what was going on. The waitresses were standing around waiting for people to be sat. Text message notifications were even working. I have 2 10 year old sons that could run the restaurant better. read more

The atmosphere is really nice and personal. I love the music. The server is super sweet. She does check in at the right intervals. The biscuits here are amazing. The Sunset Passion Colada with the mango topping is sweet at the right amount and is very tasty. The Mariner's boil is just right, perfect flavors. It's something that'll fill you up real quick and in a hurry, but worth it. read more

This is the worst restaurant that i have ever been at or even got carryout from management is rude and does not handle customer ligament complaints at all. I will never go there again and will never recommend anyone to order from there read more

Haven't been here in many years, gave it a try again and it was great! Food was delicious, and our server Karen was awesome! You won us back! Keep up the great food and service. read more

Red Lobster - Wednesday Steak and Lobster Tail special with one side for $24.99. It was delicious! - Seafood Near Me - Florence, Kentucky

Fun place a little of the highway, good food great service and fun environment better than the chains

Very disappointed in the food. We (4 adults) had a lobster dinner, all different options. Lobster was tough, old and tasteless. Even the cheddar biscuits did not have their normal flavor. Won't be going back anytime soon. Always liked red lobster. read more

Food and service was great. Management on the other hand just seemed like an absolute disaster.

I would've give zero star if I could ! I just waited for a hour for no reason. Cause they forgot to put my name on wait list !

Service was great. Food fair, haven't been to red lobster for years and the quality is declining. Portions are smaller, flounder was too thin, ratio of breading to fish wasn't good, clams and calamari rubbery. Not enough salad dressing, but the salad was crisp and fresh Clam chowder watery and very little clams Prices are still high and I see the differences in the little things hopefully they'll get back to the good ole days read more

Yeah, I don't know what's going on but baby them biscuits were not biscuiting and the food was just almost like you were at a nursing home and that's pretty much what the food was like. read more

My husband clam chowder was cold, my trio shrimp linguine was cold, my bake potatoes was cold. It was very expensive, waitress was nice.

First of all the restaurant was so cold you could hang meat in it . The hard chairs were uncomfortable . The shrimp on skewers was flavorless. They put nothing on the shrimp for seasoning and they were undercooked . No salt or pepper and no side sauce to dip the awful undercooked shrimp in .... They couldn't even make Mac and cheese with flavor . I had to add salt and pepper to bring out any flavor .. in this day and age when customers are more astute foodies - Red Lobster in Florence Alabama better get some flavor into their food- warm up their restaurant and get some better chairs .... read more

This location is a roller coaster for adequate customer service. Our last two visits we must have bee ascending to the dip. Today we hit the derp with the hostess possessing no or minimal customer service. This irritated my wife which resulted in us leaving the restaurant. There is no excuse for a restaurant just leaving bankruptcy to ensure such a low quality of customer satisfaction. read more

Good food! Only giving 3 stars because the lobster tail was super over cooked and rubbery, even the chunks in their lobster dip were the same texture. Fast seating, ok service, but took a while to bring us any bread/drinks at first which caused everything to come out at once read more

If I could give this place 100 stars I would!!! Me and my boyfriend had Paul as our server and he did a really great job by stating what kind of deals they had and made sure we got the best ones depending on what we ordered, he also was just super friendly and gave my boyfriend a lobster necklace since it was his birthday!!! Shrimp was amazing and fresh! And all in all would totally come back here again especially if Paul's our server again!!! read more

My wife and I stopped in for lunch and had very time meal and experience while there. Kamille was our server and she was very polite and attentive. She made sure our drinks were filled and stopped by a few times to make sure that we weren't lacking anything. The food was good and arrived promptly. The Restaurant was clean, just needs some updating imo. Overall it was a pleasant experience. read more

Really wanted to try the lobster roll but was very let down. The picture on the menu makes the roll look so good but the food in person looked horrible. I immediately noticed that the lobster was shredded which did not look like the picture at all. And when I opened the container we got a big whiff of something nasty smelling. The taste was very subpar with a lingering aftertaste, bordering on that it actually went bad. My friends who were with me who have more experience with lobster both told me that the smell and taste indicated bad lobster as well. And not to mention the sogging bread roll that came with it. 30 dollars for it was outrageous. read more

The hostess Kylie was great! My server Lucy was amazing as well! The service was fast and efficient.

The hostess Lilly was really nice and helpful. The waitress Sam was excellent she was checking on us often to make sure we didn't need anything very polite respectful and professional. 5 star for the server absolutely will be back and will request for her to be out waitress again read more

The service was very good. The cocktails were made very well. The food however made us violently sick for several days. Called the restaurant and manager said it was not their fault. I told them we barely made it home before becoming very sick. read more

It's not like it used to be back in the old days! We ordered the stuffed mushrooms which came out cold. The cheese was barely melted and the mushrooms tasted raw. The server was nice enough to take them off our check since we barely touched them. Our main entrees were decent but not as good as the price tag may suggest. We had to remind the server to bring two of our side dishes. He was very kind and apologetic about that and the mushrooms. He seemed a little overwhelmed with his job, but he was very pleasant during our entire meal. read more

I went to the Florence,Ky location yesterday to get $100.00 in gift cards so while I was there I decided to have a flounder sandwich. The bun, top and bottom were covered in sesame seeds of which I can't eat. The menu stated that it came with fries and slaw. There was a dab of slaw on top of the fish. Of which were 2 of the smallest pieces of fish I'd ever seen there. I understood that they didn't have a replacent bun but was very disappointed with the rest of the meal. Won't be back read more

Went for their garlic butter crab legs and it was the worst crab legs I have ever had! They tasted like they had been sitting in water forever, the garlic and butter, although plentiful was apparently just put on the crab right before serving. Lobster fest wasn't much better. Kind of rubbery and taste less. read more

My husband and I love seafood and cook at home most nights. But there are two things we just haven't perfected ourselves: crab legs and lobster tail. Whenever we are celebrating a milestone or just want to treat ourselves, we usually end up at this Red Lobster for high quality dinner without the 5 star price. We currently live closer to some of the Cincinnati locations, but opt to drive to Florence because it's less crowded and faster service. My husband usually orders the traditional Ultimate Feast which features a tender Maine lobster tail, wild-caught North American snow crab legs, Red Lobster's signature hand-crafted garlic shrimp scampi and Walt's Favorite Shrimp. I often go with either a pound and a half of snow crab legs or the Crab Linguini Alfredo. read more

Red Lobster - Loaded Mashed Potatoes, Cheddar Bay Biscuits (Half Dozen) and Ultimate Feast. - Seafood Near Me - Florence, Kentucky

Absolutely fantastic service from our waitress, Corinne, tonight. She was personable, friendly, funny and checked on us many times. Our order was correct and everything was delicious. I'd love to come back!! Thanks red lobster and thank you Corinne! read more

We were seated immediately but we did not get waited on because as we sat waiting on someone to come and take our order people around us was getting seated and waited on. There was a waitress that kept walking around but never acknowledged us. Even the hostess walked by our table and never even asked if someone had waited on us yet. We got up and took our silverware to her and told her no one never came to serve us and take our order. Red Lobster needs to be more aware of the service that there employees are not doing as we are not the only ones who had to get up and walk out because no one would wait on us. We went to Frisch's Big Boy and were taken really good care of. If I could I would give a minus instead of a one star. read more

Stephanie was our waitress and very sweet and accommodating. Food was good and we had no complaints. When I go back to this location I'm asking for a table in Stephanie's section. read more

The male manager was very nice at the front door and everyone that we came into contact with had a smile on their face and were very nice! The food was also really good we will be back for the great service and the amazing food! read more

When we went, the food was always right, but they would periodically check in to see if it was tasty or good. One time, the food was delivered incorrectly, but the rest of the family didn't seem to mind because it was still good. My wife's mother-in-law, however, was annoyed. The environment was incredibly peaceful, and the biscuits were absolutely limitless for us; thank you so much for how you managed the meal and didn't drop any of it. read more
