The staff and service are on par with a national chain, the atmoshere is of "corporate" clinic. The food was again just about the same, ok, but lacking in any ability to excel in variety or uniqueness, the "Admirals Feast" is a sampler plater of fried seafoods, butterfly shrimp, scallops, crab strips, and flounder fillets. The cocktail and tarter are "out of a can" lacking in real flavor. The high point was the grilled Brussel sprouts with a teriyaki glaze. It required an additional $3 fee to sample this side dish, the steamed brocoli was just MEH-- like outta a steamer bag, microwaved from the grocery, no sauce, butter, or seasonings. I remember taking Mom to Red Lobster[her favorite] and it was "special"-- maybe 50 years of corporate steerage has made it just average. Could have had fish at Dennys, same food!! Half the price!! read more

Popped in on a Saturday at dinner time and got seated right away (which is always a win.) Our waitress Hannah was really on it- one of those people who just makes the whole meal better without hovering and she went above and beyond- this wasn't the bare minimum , I always appreciate when people do things they didn't have to do. That's the difference between nice and kind. We joked at the table about taking her with us and just making her our waitress everywhere we went. The food was solid all around, and we love that they're doing seafood boils now!! Where has THAT option been all our lives! Definitely a step in the right direction especially for a place that's been around so long. read more

Best seafood in grand island...wait...it's about the only seafood in grand island. It is commercialized but they put out a respectable product. Not a lot of options like this in grand island. They have some good staff that tries. read more

Stopped for a quick dinner on our way home from a ball game. This did not disappoint! As usual, the waitstaff was quick and came back often to check on our meals and give refills. All dinners ordered came out great, and loved the Brussels sprouts. read more

Really solid esp for a RL. Service was really good and the food was really tasty. Well done

Food was good but the service was absolutely amazing! My waitress Lani was very friendly and quick she made sure everything was to our liking best experience at red lobster so far, will definitely be coming back. read more

Pretty sure today is my second time ever to Red Lobster. I am planning Lobster Flatbread and brussell sprouts side. B having a soup/salad. The Cheddar Bay Biscuits are very good. And service lady was perfect. All foods were really good and we both liked. Oh, Brussell Sprouts were amazing good. Possibly best we have had anywhere. read more

3 words. Best. Shrimp.Ever! Red lobster's service is great, although crowded with lots of people on weekends and fridays. A family friendly vibe to the place. Great restaurant to eat at visiting the Great Grand Island. The shrimp here is to die for! read more

Amazing service. Amazing food. Especially the savory biscuits that were just astounding. Also would highly recommend the extremely piquant strawberry smoothies. they hit the spot. 10/10 would recommend read more

Absolutely wonderful! Tried the crispy Brussel sprouts! They are to die for!! All of us had delicious food. Our server, Kade, was excellent! Best overall experience at Red Lobster in years! Restaurant was clean and welcoming. read more

We were spending the night at the KOA camp at Grand Island NE and stopped at the Strip Mall to eat after a very long RV drive! We pulled in to Ruby Tuesdays and saw Red Lobster and knew that chain so changed course ! What a mistake that was because no matter how Ruby Tuesdays would be it would have to be better than Red Lobster was! What a dreadful meal we had - one earlier reviewer said it best- a seafood chain in the middle of the best "beef in the world' country!!! But they could ship it in better at the prices they're charging! Our server looked like she had been baking all evening as her uniform had been through the ringer - no excuse for dirty uniforms- sorry! The lobster bake was so tasteless it was almost an insult to fishermen everywhere! My husband's platter had inedible salmon on it - the taste was absolutely awful! We both ate the lobster but how much smaller can it get....oh the good old days with this chain when you could depend on a good meal until cost cutters came along and ruined it! read more

I think I've only eaten at Red Lobsters in Nebraska. I've had plenty of great seafood in seacoast places, and of course because of that I had no reason to ever seek them out. I've eaten at this location quite a few times now though, and it's always been on the pretty-good scale (food/service/cleanliness). Actually always better than I expected (no high expectations, but then I usually play it safe by ordering a shrimp dish). In fact half the time I just order it to-go, and they do pack it up nicely. read more

Red Lobster - Seafood Near Me - Grand Island, Nebraska

The entire visit was worthwhile because of Sarah. A veteran server and a joy to be with. The menu has changed in my opinion that for the better. The biscuits are still very good. read more

I am writing this review for my parents since they are of a generation that does not Yelp. They have an incredible amount of dietary restrictions and are playing it very safe during Covid-19 season. Red Lobster has been amazingly kind and meticulous about their concerns and continues to make food that they love. They email us about it all the time, so I think it's time to recognize their hard work. Thanks! read more

My family and I decided to order take out dessert. We ordered on-line and was told the time to be there to pick up our dessert. We arrived later than the time due and still sat waiting for our desserts for another 30 minutes. There is no excuse since the cake is frozen and so is the ice cream. They had nothing to cook. When the waiter delivered our food his comment was, "Sorry it took so long, I wanted to make sure it wasn't frozen." Guess what, when we arrived home it was frozen! Then he forgot to add the ice cream so he had to go back and get some from the kitchen. Very disappointed with the service. Thank goodness the dessert is to die for! read more

Normally have great service when busy, but this is a seafood chain store in the middle of beef country, so...ya, you get what you would expect. The Grand Island store is always clean and staff has always ranged between good to outstanding. If I am going out for a sit down meal and don't want to worry about the wait staff and quality of service service, this is high on my list. If I want amazing food, I go elsewhere. Last 2 trips the seafood was overlooked and while the flavor is good, the texture was not. Chewy lobster or crab legs that don't crack don't cut it. Guess I don't expect fresh caught out here in the corn desert but that isn't an excuse not to prepare the food in the best possible manner. Oh well, if I wanted better food I would have gone someplace for steak. read more

Two stars because the waitress was nice. This was lunch on 12.22.18 when I decided to take my two teenage boys out for a lunch. I knew it would be expensive for a noon meal but it was the Holidays so we splurged. One of my sons asked if he could have the $35 lobster tail dinner, I would normally say no but decided to spoil them and said they could order whatever they wanted. Now, when we go to Red Lobster we expect the biscuits it's our favorite part of the meal and the waitress came out with just two! The boys each grabbed one immediately and the waitress said that more were in the oven. She came back later with a basket that had one, again, more were in the oven the waitress said. Then our food came out and my son stared at his lobster tail that he had been waiting years for me to say okay to and frowned, "it doesn't look like the picture." It sure didn't! It was so over cooked it was a piece of leather that wouldn't even separate from its shell. It wasn't edible so he had French fries for lunch. The biscuits never made it out of the oven. read more

Red Lobster - Seafood Near Me - Grand Island, Nebraska

I have eaten here a few times and me and my wife are locals in grand island. Last few times we have eaten here they have always been out of the salmon but that is ok. I understand you are out of food sometimes but it was the last three times not in the same week or even month. What really made me disappointed was that I made a reservation for valentines day because I had gift cards. I made my reservation in January and I checked to make sure that I had a reservation the day before valentines day. Turns out they do not do reservations on valentine's day and they did not honor my reservation. This seemed very unprofessional and I was scrambling to get a reservation at another place. Very saddened that one of the few seafood places in grand island didn't act in a professional manner. read more

Great place and wonderful Food!! Been here a few times and never had a bad or even medium experience. Recently they updated their menus and even more recent remodeled their restaurant. Not sure if this is nation wide but it basically looks brand new from top to bottom. Waiters are always friendly and it's nice to see the manager stop by to check on the the service. Overall if I could give this place 10 stars I wouldn't hesitate :) read more

Red Lobster - New menus!! :) - Seafood Near Me - Grand Island, Nebraska

My server was amazing. On point with everything. Very fast. Very polite. Excellent service tonight!! Food wise, calamari was overcooked and not edible. But that's ok because my awesome server took it off my ticket. Server was Tina. read more

We had a wonderful experience, thanks to our server! Sarah, our server, went above and beyond to ensure the children at our table had everything (including bringing some strawberries over). She then showed them a lobster and taught them about how is sees, tastes, moves, etc. Her attentiveness and engaging with our table and the other children in the area while waiting will guarantee our return! The food was good, quick and filling, but Sarah really made the experience well worth our time!! read more

Super good loved the southwest fish tacos was so amazingly good and flavored so good tried the new taste the loaded seaside fries it's a must try for sure want to the staff are great and very friendly the manager was super nice read more

I think I've finally found a restaurant that Grand Island hasn't managed to screw up. I stopped here with my wife and kids, and the food was very good. From the appetizer of Mozarella Sticks & Calamari to the main course meals, everything was fresh and had good flavors. The prices were the typical over-priced Red Lobster standard, but our waitress was very attentive and even ran my wife's debit card out to our car when she forgot it at the table. Overall, this is a really good restaurant, especially for Grand Island. read more

I always enjoy eating at Red Lobster. Great biscuits, salad, nachos, and salmon.

Had the Snow crab legs. Would not eat it again. Wasn't bad but wasn't good either. Order a pound and half. Maybe got 10oz of meat

Eaten here several times around Lent. We've received great service every time. The food has been properly cooked and served hot. The last time we ate there, I asked for a box for our left over biscuits. They brought us a bag full of hot biscuits for us to take home. read more

For this being a Red lobster it is the best one in this state. The service here is always great unlike their counterpart in Lincoln, Ne (the Lincoln one sucks @$$ btw) I have always had good experiences here, but their prices are pretty high these days.So it is not exactly cost effective to take a family of 4 here. Their strawberry drinks are really good. read more

Our group stopped at Red Lobster for dinner. All of the dishes were very good except for the lobster. It was way over cooked, making it rubbery. read more

We enjoyed our dinners, maple grilled chicken for my husband and shrimp trio for me. It was delicious and hot. The last two times we have come it's been especially good. read more

This place needs a serious makeover. When Olive Garden opens this location will probably die (thankfully). Amazing both locations are owned by the same corporation. I agree with Carolyn regarding food being overly salty and greasy. read more

For a chain restaurant the food is satisfactory. I find most of the entrée dishes very salty and would prefer less greasy food.

Quick seating on Good Friday night. Service was very good as was the meal. Decor is nicely updated.

It used to be our favorite place!!! Not any more... Biscuits arrived when we were half way through our main course!!! The excuse was that they were just coming out of the oven... Didn't believe that ... Something has changed ... Service was way below the usual...no discount offered for the delay... We won't be back soon. :( read more

I was very disappointed in the service I received last night at Red Lobster. They need to learn to wait on everyone equally! While my husband received 2 refills on his drink, I wasn't offered any refills. My drink they brought me served in a warm glass and didn't taste at all like what i ordered, they did replace that. I practically had to beg for butter when I requested a extra one at the beginning, it never came. I had to ask for one from one of the fast moving waitresses as she went by. The mashed potatoes were tasteless. While they used to ask if they could give us more biscuits they didn't offer. From the time Red Lobster first came to Grand Island Nebraska as a classy place to eat, it has gone down to the point where I'm not sure I want to go back! I want service! I'm a hard worker and I'm a paying customer, I expect to get good service when I go out. Otherwise I just as will eat at home! read more

Not nearly what you would expect if you were on the coast. I suppose for Nebraska, this is as good as seafood gets? Pretty much average all around. Nothing memorable here. read more
