​ Sam made our night! Hit up Red Lobster for the all-you-can-eat shrimp. The restaurant was super clean and has a really nice, low-light chill vibe. The food was taking a little while to come out, but our waitress, Sam, was proactive and gave us a heads-up right away. Her awesome, high-energy personality completely made up for the wait! We tried a few things--the shrimp scampi was delicious, and the coconut shrimp is always my favorite. The shrimp linguini pasta was just okay, but we still had a blast. Ask for Sam if you go! read more

We tried dinner here yesterday 8/30/26 and the A/C was out, and according to staff, has been since July! How do they expect customers to enjoy their food when the interior is as hot as the temps outside- let alone having staff work under those conditions!?!?! There were four table at peak dining hours, so must be losing lots of sales so that alone should make be reason to have the A/C up and running at least within a week in AZ. We won't be back.

Disappointing experience after years of loyalty I have been coming to Red Lobster since I was a little girl and have always loved it. My brother recently took my mom and me to the Goodyear, AZ location to celebrate with Endless Shrimp, and I was especially excited since I am 5 1/2 months pregnant and had been craving shrimp for days. When we walked in, we were informed that the main A/C was out. They had portable A/C units and fans running throughout the dining room. Even though it was warm, we decided to stay and enjoy our dinner anyway. Unfortunately, the service ruined the evening. Our server never refilled our drinks once during the entire meal. Worse, she made me feel completely judged for participating in the Endless Shrimp promotion. After bringing a second round of shrimp for our table, she offered another round. I ordered one more side, and she gave me a visibly surprised look before walking away. When she came back, I politely explained that I was pregnant and just really hungry, hoping to clear the air. When I asked for a box for my remaining food, she refused, stating that Endless Shrimp isn't for take-home. I let her know I've been coming to Red Lobster for years and had never been spoken to like that. She became visibly upset, told me I shouldn't have ordered the last dish if I couldn't finish it, and made the whole situation incredibly uncomfortable. At that point, I just handed the plate back to her and told her to take it--I didn't even want it anymore. To be treated so rudely while simply trying to enjoy a special family dinner was deeply disappointing. Between the lack of basic table service and being publicly judged by the staff, this visit completely ruined my view of a restaurant I used to love. I will not be returning to this location. read more

Red Lobster - Receipt from today. - Seafood Near Me - Goodyear, Arizona

I had kind of forgotten about Red Lobster. I think the last time I went to one was years ago, when Beyoncé released "Formation" and told us ladies to take our men to Red Lobster when they do a certain thing for us--so I took my husband to dinner. At least, I think that's what she meant. Instructions unclear. Anyway, after spending the previous week crying and having panic attacks while studying for one of the most important, life-changing, career-altering exams of my life (and then passing with a high score; yay me.) my mom and her hubs decided I deserved a treat. Unfortunately, when they offered to take me out to dinner, I was running on three hours of sleep and had already shut down the decision-making portion of my brain. I gave my husband the dead-eyed stare that said, "You figure it out," and this was the place he recommended. We were not mad. We both ordered the build-your-own shrimp meal. I always get the shrimp scampi, and my husband always gets Walt's Favorite Shrimp because apparently neither of us believes in unnecessary personal growth. Everything came out hot, buttery, and exactly as good as we remembered. They also made me a killer daiquiri, which was precisely what I needed after a week of panic attacks, three hours of sleep, and one life-changing exam. I have to say, out of all the national chain restaurants, Red Lobster consistently gets it right for us. Ugh, I forgot how good this place is. I'm gonna take my man even when he doesn't do the thing that Beyoncé... never mind. read more

Went to Red Lobster for the Wednesday special and boy it did not disappoint. 7 oz cut with a lobster tail and mashed taters, YUM! I love the dark vibes to the restaurant and it also provides a romantic atmosphere for date night. Our server was amazing and always attentive. Thanks for the meal Red Lobster! read more

Red Lobster - Seafood Near Me - Goodyear, Arizona

We decided to stop in tonight after talking about how great Red Lobster used to be we hadn't been in a while. Should've turned around and left when we saw literally four tables full in an otherwise dead restaurant. Across the lot Texas Roadhouse was packed and waiting people outside.. our server didn't show up for over five minutes for even water. It was dead. When she did come she introduced herself, said she's bring bread and take drink orders then. She came back another five minutes later. Said she was waiting for the beer. That's fine I get it. She gave us three biscuits lol. We were excited to get the crab stuffed mushrooms only to find they are now seafood stuffed ... it's now five more dollars for crab stuffed. Making it $20 . No thanks.the bread was so dry. We then waited forever for the waitress to reappear to take our order. My husband's beer tasted off so he asked if she'd given him something seasonal or what he asked for. She said i dont know it comes in a bucket ummm ok ha ha what does that mean. We hurried an ordered before she vanished again. Our food came out slowly. Side salads were good. Our baked potatoes were small and dry as well. Steak was overcooked, lobster was decent, but again little overdone. My husband muttered through his meal. The waitress showed up for a minute to tell my husband he was right it was a seasonal beer. She asked if he liked it and he again said no it tasted weird. He had to again tell her he wanted a regular of the beer he asked for the first time. .We left wishing we'd just ate at home. Our waitress definitely needs more training and customer service skills. We watched her talk to another table who just arrived and she said we have no biscuits is that okay? They told her no that's part of why they came. Awkward silence then she said oh they'll make more but not for a while. They hadn't even received food by the time we left. We were there well over an hour in a dead restaurant. How was everything that slow and awful? We won't be back. For over $100 you'd think care in your job would be important. read more

If you are unhappy in your job, it should not be transferred to your guests. From the moment we walked into red lobster, our server/host, did not want to be at work that day. The servers were poor, the attitude was poor, the food came out overcooked, we did not even want to ask for anything halfway through the meal because it was obvious they were not there to help anybody. It's unfortunate, but I doubt we will be back to pay $90 to be frustrated with poor food & poor attitudes. read more

We are in town visiting my sister and niece who just turned 1. Our waitress was very attentive and sweet. She made sure everything was perfect for us! Food was good, my husband has never been to Red Lobster before so it was nice to have him try it. Love the old ship vibe the restaurant still had. One thing we noticed right when we walked in though was the sour faces, kinda nose in the air from the hostess... never seen them before in our lives and we all felt judged right when we walked in. Very weird experience with that part. read more

My family and I went to this location on Tuesday, October 31 at 7:30 PM. We noticed they were short staffed, so we knew that the service may be a little slow. Our server was very courteous but our experience with our food was very disappointing . My husband's crab legs were not hot, lukewarm, almost cold. The butter that was given for dipping was cold as well. Our mozzarella sticks were not cold like they were sitting in the back for quite some time before coming to our table and our lobsterRita drink was not good at all. With our experience this time; I'm not sure if we will be back at this location or not. We did come from the first time last week and we enjoyed our service and food but this time it was very disappointing. read more

Surprisingly very good. The biscuits could be more fresh but we shared the big seafood combo between the three of us girls and it was plenty. The coconut shrimp was way too sweet in my opinion but my friend loved it. The seafood was cooked really well! The shrimp Alfredo was delicious and service was good. Everything was clean. read more

Alex was the greatest server I have had there in a while. Always checking in on us and making sure we had refills. Even checked on us twice when the food came out to make sure everything tasted okay. Asked us how we wanted to do the bill instead of giving it and walking away. Can't wait to come back again and hoping we get her again. She is great! read more

Much, much better! Red Lobster had always been a favorite for us. In our previous visit however, the nice menu's had gone away and my crab was reheated and inedible. Everything was inedible. I had feared it was curtains for the chain. Well, I decided to check recent reviews out of curiosity and was surprised at what I found. While the average remained low, most recent reviews were pretty stellar. Well, it's been a couple of years, so we'll give them another chance. First, we were worried it would be crowded on a Friday night, but were pleased at being seated right away. Our server was Jennifer. I asked for a beer and it was literally there in three minutes flat. That is unusual for anyone. She immediately took our appetizer order. The seafood stuffed mushrooms looked good. They weren't bad, they had nice crab cake stuffing. We then ordered dinner. I have always enjoyed the Ultimate Feast and my wife likes Walt's fried Shrimp. So let's go with that. What I really liked about the Ultimate Feast menu item was that you could customize it. So I ordered a lobster tail, crab legs, Walt's fried shrimp and grilled shrimp, with a loaded baked potato and brussel sprouts on the side. The dish arrived and I was suprised at how much food was on the plate! They weren't stingy at all. Okay, let's get the worst out of the way. The brussel sprouts looked deliciously fried, but were swimming in balsamic. I could not eat them. That said, EVERYTHING else was delicious!. I started with the lobster. It was large and sweeter than I've had in a long while! The snow crab was equally as good and Walt's shrimp was as good as ever! I thoroughly enjoyed everything! Jennifer provided the best service we've had anywhere. What a pleasant evening. Good job Red Lobster, you've won us back! read more

The squad they have working on the Marine Corp birthday is below the freshman level. Customer service is non existent.

Brought my wife here for all you can eat shrimp and she had 6 different flavors and loved all but one, you have to try them to figure out which one I do not like shrimp so I had chicken fingers, the frozen kind but they were ok. The baked potato was very good and my wife's salad dressing was great. Our server Alex was fantastic, she has a great personality and fast and attentive. 1 star missing for not really having much of a selection for non fishy people like myself but I get it, it's a seafood place. read more

I was very excited to try the new lobster roll. Unfortunately, the lobster was overcooked, dry, chewy and super crispy. Definitely not worth the almost $35.00 price tag. Two other family members had two of the lobster pastas and those were delicious. Service was really good. Giving it 3 stars based on the lobster roll and I won't order it again. read more

After reading the reviews we decided to give it a go that perhaps those people were just unpleaseable And boy were we glad we did! We were seated in the bar booths (completely fine for the 2 of us) services were quick and friendly and the food was excellent!

Red Lobster - They still have endless shrimp - Seafood Near Me - Goodyear, Arizona

We went to Red Lobster on a whim one night after deciding we didn't feel like cooking. My previous experiences with Red Lobster haven't been great so I didn't have high expectations. The food was to be as expected: noticeably "chain food". I got the rainbow trout which was surprisingly good actually. My boyfriend got the stuffed flounder, he wasn't a fan. We both got fries as one of our sides. Let me tell these you, these are probably the worst fries I've had in recent memory. Absolutely not a grain of salt in sight. Very bland and small portions. Overall, the food was just okay. The service was actually the redeeming quality of the meal. Our server was great - she was super attentive and friendly. If you like Red Lobster, you'll like this location. read more

So my husband and I went to Red Lobster, we have been there hundreds of times. They sadly discontinued their crab Alfredo and so I got shrimp Alfredo instead. Everything was great, service was on par, my husbands meal was great, but my shrimp Alfredo came out and the shrimp still had the tails on them. Now I have had this similar meal at other places and not once did they leave the tails on the shrimp. I asked the server since I thought maybe it was a mistake and she informed me that is how it is made now. She also said people have also complained about the shrimp being done like that since they switched their way about a year ago. Thought it was interesting. I still ate it and it tasted fine, although the sauce did seem to be different. Our server was great, the manager was around and doing a great job, it was prom night for many schools so it was a busier night. read more

The food is good at red lobster, the shrimp and king crab legs, . I wouldn't recommend the fish and chips. The fish was saturated with oil didn't allow the fish to cook with all that batter; service was good. The waitress was friendly ambience was nice kind of dark, but romantic the fish taste better at Culver better presentation. The french fries that came with the meal was nice and hot, but the ketchup, was very cold . Good luck read more

We have been coming to this location for quite a few years. Always had an amazing experience. Well not today. As we entered the host wasn't there, waited at least 10 minutes. Other employees saw us but didn't acknowledge us. Finally the girl showed up, no greetings no apologies for making us wait. Ok cool. She asks how many people and tells me we need to wait. Although the restaurant is pretty empty. Another family comes and a gentleman from the bar grabs them and accommodates them right away to their table (he was very friendly and polite). Finally our host shows up and just ushers us to the table ( may be she was having a bad day). As we seat at the table the waitress comes at this point I am really hoping she is in a better mood, after all we are here to celebrate my daughter's birthday. Unfortunately it wasn't the case. Alexandria gave us the most hostile service ever. She seemed in a rush and was quite abrupt. Like I mentioned before we have been coming here for many years and do understand the menu changes but when my daughter asked her about salmon portions she just answered her in a very rude way. Before you had a choice to order half of portion of salmon or full. Understandably things change but there is no need to be rude. Then the family who came after us somehow got food before us, though some of our meals arrived cold and it took a good hour to get the food. On another note Alexandria served other tables water with lemon slices while we just got tap water which was barely refilled as she wasn't tending to our table. She also didn't care about taking our empty plates (every waiter we've had there has always picked our empty plates to clear the table). Atop that we asked her for some more biscuits but she brought them over ten minutes after we asked for them. When it was time for us to get our check, I asked her about it. She brought the bill and vanished, showed up after a while took my credit card and vanished again. I waited and waited. Spotted her placing order at her station and disappearing into the kitchen. May be they were short staffed, although there were not a lot of people dining at the time. Regardless, this is your job and you should have better customer service. Usually we see the restaurant manager before we leave and are always asked about our service, unfortunately no manager surfaced today. Whatever the reason is we all left with a nasty feeling. It is quite a shame. We celebrated so many special occasions here. But after today it will be super hard to convince everyone to come back here again. read more

Service was bad. Food was yummy! snow crab was great! Brussels' sprouts, potatoes and mac n cheese were nothing special but still good. I'm not sure if the biscuits were any good because they never brought us any, even though we asked for them a couple times. I would also skip on the drinks, nothing special and was brought after our food came. Normally, I'd say all of thats fine and I get stuff happens especially during busy hours but I went during a slow weekday there was barely anyone else there eating. Also, seemed well staffed so not sure why service was so slow? Also seemed like the waitress was having a bad day or something so not sure if that had anything to do with it? We had to also ask a couple times for a box, just wasn't sure if she just didn't care or was just having bad day, because I get that, it happens! but either way sadly service was bad. read more

I'm sorrry hate to leave bad reviews service was blah server would call me bro yeah ok ... I get better service from long John silvers ...food was disgusting mine was cold wife's was warm "time management" clearly an issue... bland .. food and crumbs on new dishes all around gross... took a few bites and paid my 134 bucks I'll pass... going forward have had frozen fish sticks taste better then that horrible mush get your stuff together thanks.. Oh yeah and swatting away fruit flys when your eating is super pleasant... and then the dust falling off the wall next to you when you do so... quick trip is cleaner then this place. Lastly if this " Angelleca h" customer service reps posts a visit us on Yelp copy and paste resolution I'm going to loose my crab biscuits save that for the birds I don't have Facebook Ok..:) read more

The wife and I have 5 kids, we ordered two family size meals, a chicken linguine Alfredo and a crab linguine Alfredo. I spent over $100 on dinner (an appetizer and other stuff), the kids ate first and didn't eat much...after I fed the little one I ate, the pastas tasted like cafeteria food. No wonder I still have all this food leftover, what happened to Red Lobster?! It used to be creamy, buttery, super fattening, delicious pasta. I'm super disappointed and highly regret ordering this. I'm not gonna judge all Red Lobsters from this experience, but man, my kids didn't eat! read more

Paid $10 for the worst margarita I've ever had. The first one made by male bartender was good I just wanted a flavor change and sent it back, a different person (woman)made a strawberry one and I almost threw up it was so nasty, the worst I've ever had!! I had them discard it and just take that L. I hope the food will be better. read more

I spoke to the manager Ray, I had literally the best experience after my mishap at the other location

Had the brussell sprouts very burned didn't taste that great :( Hopefully it can be better

As weird as it may sound, part of my happiness level was that I met up with my EX-mother-in-law!! LOL!! She is one of my very best friends, and she has been for decades! Honestly, the service was BAD initially. We had to adjust and accept it once we realized that they were super short staffed, and our server was waiting too many tables and she was doing her best!! She was, I give her a lot of credit, super attentive to my teen. That made ME and him happy!! LOL!! It took longer than usual to get our order placed, but part of that was OUR fault because the menu is so HUGE now that it is hard to decide what to order!!! Our server tried a couple of times, but we asked for "a couple more minutes" and then she was too busy to get back to us for a length of time. Heck, I LOVE my EX-mother-in-law, so we decided we would just eat the cheesy biscuits and enjoy our visit!! The food was PERFECTION when delivered!! I love, love, LOVE the Brussel sprouts!!! They are the BOMB!! They have a balsamic drizzle and crispy onion rings on top!! It is a much bigger portion than expected! Everything we ordered was executed perfectly by the chef!!! Red Lobster, I applaud you!! I have been eating at Red Lobster for decades. I was always happy, but in the recent past (several years ago) we have been highly disappointed!! YOU, Red Lobster, have made some amazing improvements and I can't wait to go back for another fabulous meal!!!! read more

I normally give reviews with a little humor behind them, but I want to be straightforward this time. Red lobster has never been the cream of the crop, but it has always been decent. Not this time. If I could give zero stars I would. It took an hour for us to get our food and the place was far from full. I believe there were 7 tables with people at them including us. All of our food came cold and my steak (which was supposed to be medium) was super well done. It was so done that it was hard to cut. My daughter's fries were hard as a rock and the bacon on my other daughter's Mac and cheese was like rubber. The only bright spot was that the server was good. I still tipped well because it wasn't her fault but I definitely thought about leaving without a tip. I'm not gonna tell people to go or not to go to this place. I just want to share my experience. I will say that we will never go back there. I would like to thank Angelleca (from Red Lobster) for reaching out and trying to make things better, but I have to decline. I paid $230 for 4 people, and the food wasn't edible. Even the first basket of biscuits were bad. We had to ask for a new one. To their credit, they did bring out a fresh basket. Thank you again for reaching out, but we will have to decline your offer. read more

What happened Red Lobster to your reputation of a reputable restaurant? We were there on June 12th and upon arriving for 5 people were told right off the bat was a 30-minute wait (hardly any tables were being occupied, maybe 6 tables). Called Olive Garden when advised of this but was going to be about a 20-minute wait too. We decided to go ahead and wait (my birthday luncheon) and was then seated after only after about 7 minutes or so. No paper towels in the ladies room so how then were the staff drying their hands or were they not washing them, so they didn't know it was out of paper towels, hmmm. Had to tell the manager there wasn't any, but that there were 3 rolls of toilet paper on the counter by the sink just in case. Our waitress appeared to be pretty new (had her "mask" on her chin, guess it was cold, either wear one or don't wear one honestly). She was pleasant but guessing she may be new to serving as didn't know to bring eating utensils, napkins for everyone. Didn't offer desert even though family had stated we were there for birthday luncheon. We had to ask for dessert menu, she didn't ask everyone what they wanted for dessert, took one dessert order and started to walk away from the table and had to stop her to get everyone's order that wanted something. Table was never cleared even when she brought the dessert, she was just going to place them by the dirty dishes, we had to ask her to remove the dirty dishes first. The pro the salmon bowl was very good, two others ordered coconut shrimp and got twice the amount of shrimp one would expect (made for good leftovers though). The food was good, but seriously the service was just not what you would expect. I don't blame the server honestly; this is the fault of management not making sure they are equipped to properly do their job. Managers used to walk around and ask customers how things are going, but appears they know how it is going and now just don't care. read more
