I like Red Lobster but this location in Kearney Nebraska can't wait to get closed every night. My work territory stretches from Denver Colorado to the Indiana/Iowa border but even then it's 80% in Nebraska so I stay in Kearney a 30+ nights every year. They say they close at 9:00 and delivery orders stop at 8:45 but if you walk in or call after 8 it's coin flip if they'll take your order and after 8:30 their kitchen's closed so what's the point of saying you're open till 9: 00. My work requires a lot of driving and late nights so I never get to eat dinner before 7:00. I get tired of late night fast food but unfortunately Red Lobster in Kearney is not the solution to that problem. read more

Pick up shrimp dinner was okay. Trying to order via their website wasn't easy nor friendly. We ended up calling it in. They didn't have coconut shrimp, so we ordered fried. Shrimp was a bit soggy. My baked potato was good & the roasted Brussels sprouts were as well. Too big of portion but it was an up charge. Sister's shrimp dinner came with tasty bacon Mac & cheese and rice pilaf, an up charge. She loved it. I realize take out can be a challenge. Would we order again? Sure. read more

Have great fresh seafood at reasonable prices i thoroughly enjoyed every vit I've made there

Food was good. For appetizers we got the lobster dip and the new calamari they had which were a 10/10. Entrees we got one all you can eat shrimp and a surf and turf which were 8/10 lobster was bad but everything else was great. For drinks we got the espresso martini, the watermelon martini and a lobster punch, every single one of those drinks were two strong and not very tasty which I would give a 1/10. Service was awesome he was great and very kind 10/10. We will be back probably just not to drink. read more

Order online from this location, was a hotel guest in town. Food was hot, fresh and fast! I have not had a better meal from take out then here. The food was delicious, the staff very fast and friendly. They did not forget one item, had silverware and napkins. Thank you! Was delicious. Try the new stuffing!! It's amazing!! read more

Red Lobster is a nationwide chain and I finally experienced it in Kearney, Nebraska! Eat here twice during the week I was in town on a job assignment. Everything I had was delicious from the coconut shrimp, salad, and snow crab legs. great service and reasonable priced too. Why did it take me so long to dine at the Red Lobster? read more

It was all you can eat shrimp night so I had no problem choosing that. Perfect preparation! Plump & juicy. And the service was attentive. Close to I-80 so if you want to sit, relax & enjoy some seafood, here's your spot! read more

I had not been to a red lobster in years. I was pleasantly surprised by the good service and good food. I had the stuffed mushrooms and the shrimp appetizers read more

There were empty tables everywhere yet it was a 10 minute wait. Or server was excellent! The cheddar bay biscuits were delicious. We had the trout, my wife said it was fishy tasting. I had the fish fry, the coleslaw was very warm, the batter on the fish was tasteless. Not very good. read more

Satisfying lobster and shellfish dinner, great service. Nice salad and broccoli. Will come back!

this is always consistent. It's a chain so in my book 3 stars is very good. you know what you are getting. It is good and we will be back every now and again. read more

Food quality has gone down. Biscuits used to be a favorite of mine but now they are bland. Fried mozzarella sticks are skinny and fell apart in my hand. Service was fine. We ordered appetizers instead of meals and the total was still almost $100. Very cold inside. Replace it with an Olive Garden tbh read more

Always a pleasant experience. The food presentation, temperature , cleanliness is top notch. Great atmosphere. Cozy, welcoming. Wait staff is always super attentive. Always a favorite. read more

The Kearney red lobster is a pretty good store! Located right off interstate 80 you can't go wrong! The location is easy to get to, super casual, nice and prompt wait staff and surprisingly fresh seafood for being smack-dab in the middle of the country! I had their filet-lobster-tail dinner and loved it! read more

A classic Red Lobster, with dishes prepared as you would hope and expect. Servers are quite competent. Me: I'm doing the shrimp pick 2, and don't want to make a bad life choice. So to go with my scampi, do you suggest the fried or popcorn shrimp? Server: "a second scampi." Brilliant suggestion! She also made sure we knew about the seasonal fresh vegetables, which were delicious. The were also quite adaptive when a 5th person joined us at our four-top, pulling open one of the leaves without any disruption mid-meal. read more

This location was extremely clean and our server, Thien, was fabulous. The food was exactly as we had ordered it and tasted great. Definitely a wonderful place for dinner. read more

Good service and food well prepared at Kearney, NE.. We were there on a Monday - all you can eat Shrimp. Totally ate too much - but totally tasty. The steamed broccoli is always done perfectly - actually one of my favorite sides at Red Lobster. Our waitress was very nice and efficient. One of the better Red Lobsters I have visited. read more

It's such a shame, we haven't been here for a while and things taste so different! I ordered the cajun chicken linguine. Not a homemade taste at all. Tastes like it came out of a jar. And the chicken tasted preseasoned, cooked, and already sliced up. Nothing was really hot, served on cold plates, restaurant was cold. Its January. Only thing that was enjoyable was the mud slide, biscuits, and our waiter... like I said, it's really a shame. Spend $50 and taco bell would have been better. read more

Disappointing. Crab tasted watery and a little fishy. I know it is a chain, and I did go on a mid week evening, but since they still charge full price on Tuesday the food should still be good. read more

I've eaten a several Red Lobster's during my life, but I can honestly say that last night, I had my best Red Lobster meal in Kearney, NE. I had the Mixed Grill with salmon, and it was to die for. My husband got a side of asparagus with his meal. You can always tell a good cook when the asparagus comes out tender and flavorful. Our waiter, Mitch, was the best, too. read more

Amazing service and food. You must try the stuffed mushrooms, they are the best I have ever tasted. The jumbo coconut shrimp and Pina colada sauce is off the hook. This was our first visit to a Red Lobster and definitely won't be out last. I want to acknowledge Kaylee for her outstanding customer service. She made our visit joyful and was on top of everything. read more

Good service, but the food is hit-or-miss at the best. The sirloin with shrimp and lobster butter was a real treat, but the crab and lobster are very off-tasting and apparently shipped frozen. The fish, I had at one time the basil infused halibut, was off the hook good. And who can turn down the Cheddar Bay biscuits and claim to be sane? read more

This is one of the best Red Lobsters...i had Lobster pasta and asked for a little extra garlic in the sause..Oh My , so we'll cooked it melted in the mouth. perfection on the Chefs part , he knows how to cook them Right..there new Capri salad is very good..Keep up the great Job !....TLC...So Fla read more

I ordered take out online twice from this location. The quality was consistent with my expectations and the staff was friendly and quick to help. read more

Drop in to this location 2-3 times a year. Every time we're there it seem like the staff is trying to push us through like a school cafeteria! Not what I would expect for what they charge $$$. We ordered an appetizer and it came with our meal. This has happen several times before. When it was brought to the servers attention she had nothing to say and walked off. If you want your appetizer as an appetizer don't order your meal until it comes. read more

Red Lobster is open for business today at 4pm the staff is pleasant and great food so stop by. A lot of other restaurants in town are still closed after the floods earlier this week. read more

Came in an hour before closing. Service was good. Food was pretty slow for an almost empty dining room. Rice was chewy and dry, salad was wilty, and Alfredo sauce had been microwaved (cream and butter had separated so the noodles and shrimp were swimming in a butter pool) but it so tasted okay. Coconut shrimp were fantastic as was talipia. Waitress was great. read more

Visited here one night while on training in Kearney for a week. Typical red lobster taste but excellent service! I rarely see this kind of service in other restaurants these days! read more

The entire experience here was perfect! Our waitress was Liz and she's literally the epitome of a good waitress. Kuddos the stuffed mushrooms are seriously super yummy! Everything was warm and fresh tasting! Only things that bummed me was the asparagus, I like it soft and drowned in butter and it was still crunchy but it still tasted good! And the price, but worth it! read more

Great service. From the manager who seated us to Gunner our server they were excellent. Food was prompt, hot and delicious. Soup was piping hot and hit the spot even though it was 80 degrees outside. I've always loved their cheddar biscuits and they did not disappoint. The place was clean a little small but cozy. I would go back for sure if in the area again. read more

I had a very nice waitress named Elizabeth. She was great, had a smile on the whole time, & seemed friendly. I only gave 3 stars because the whole reason I came here was for salmon & they were out of it. :( read more

Restaurant has a fresh, new clean look. Love the new look. Food was excellent. Service was excellent plus. Even threw in extra biscuits. Left very happy & full. read more

Coconut shrimp, green beans, Caesar salad, and biscuits were all excellent. Calamari and vegetables are my favorite at another location but here they were somewhat soggy and the vegetables a little mushy. Our table smelled uncomfortably of cleaning solution when we arrived but the smell was gone before we finished our meal. Our waitress was great. It was a busy night with a full house of holiday travelers. read more

I haven't had a good meal here and I've been here at least 10 times. Hubby likes formula food and I have a different perspective. If you love Red Lobster you will be happy here. Arrive before 5 on weekends or you will wait. Expect issues with food temperature and quality. High priced drinks and crappy salads, but the biscuits are yummy. Tonight I had lobster walking tacos for 13.99 and they were terrible. Minimal amount of thawed frozen lobster on icky slaw on a tortilla. Nasty. Hubster loves the snow crab legs but they are never fresh and good. Typical reconstituted chain restaurant fare. read more

It still amazes me that when we eat at the Red Lobster in Kearney, Nebraska, the food and the service is excellent. This restaurant really cares about their customers. read more

The food was worth the price. The service was mediocre. Other than the fact that it is seafood place the experience, service and staff was likened to a typical chain restaurant. Not terrible, but not very memorable either. Our server was very knowledgable about the menu and was the only reason this particular Red Lobster even received 3 stars instead of 2. read more

Very nice staff. Clean bathrooms! Food was good- actually my first time at Red Lobster. I was able to get the lunch special even though it was after 3:00 pm ( about 15 minutes later). I had grilled chicken with grilled shrimp. We shared the shrimp potstickers appetizer and the shrimp Yucatán app ( both small plates). My husband had the grilled Trio with lobster, shrimp, and salmon; he said it was a bit too buttery- though pretty good. read more

Good service, Good food. Good selection of food, now the one concern I have is the selection of drinks you need more. Don't get me wrong its a good restaurant its except able but not somewhere I would like to go everyday. read more
