Service was terrible. Waited an hour for a table, and sat for half an hour waiting for somebody to get our drink order.

If you're looking for seafood drowning in butter, red lobster is your place! No review is required for most when it comes to Red Lobster. It's your run-of-the-mill chain seafood restaurant. Typical surf and turf, typical lobster, coconut shrimp, etc. the details that matter at places like this are customer care and atmosphere. The one complaint I would make about a couple of our past trips is the layout of the restaurant. In order to maximize seating they placed the hostess stand at the front door and started seating immediately around it. This means from October to March, if you're seated near the hostess, you're freezing. This isn't something they are likely to change, it's just something to keep in mind if you visit this location. The wait staff at this store is always very kind and helpful and the do a great job pacing the meal so you don't get your entree at the same time as appetizers. Red lobster has always been a favorite of ours for seafood but the price point is pretty high. For my wife and I, dinner with tip was more than $90. To be fair, that does include two-20 ounce Stella's. I'm a sucker for an import on draft! read more

My son ordered Red Lobster for his mom on Mother's Day. He choose to use door dash. What a mistake. We ordered at 5:17. Pick up time on the receipt was 5:43. The door dash driver kept texting my son saying he was still waiting at the restaurant. We got our food at 7:20. Red Lobster is only 2 miles from my house. This food was cold. I have been in the restaurant business for almost 30 years. Most of that time has been spent as a Kitchen Manager. This food had been traveling for quite a while or sitting and waiting for the driver to be cold. Now some of you say what do you expect it's Mothers Day. I would expect honesty and for my delivery person not to be so over extended that I get cold food. I will say that after being microwaved it did have a good flavor. Next time I just pick it up myself. I can drive two miles before it gets cold. read more

We came here despite having our car parked next door at TGI Friday's after disappointing service. The place was very lively and we were seated immediately despite coming in at the middle of dinner rush. Our waitress was very tentative and always checked on us. The biscuits were always fresh out of the oven and the 4 course meal special was very good. Will come back read more

It wasn't my choice to come here but I also wasn't going to complain. But after all was said and done this particular visit was suboptimal. Service was fantastic and those biscuits...mmmboy! We also had crab-stuffed Rangoon shrimp (whatever it's called) as an appetizer; also very good! The disappointment was with the clam chowder. I've had better. There even! But also I tried the new wagyu beef bacon cheeseburger. When it was presented you could see how much the brioche bun glistened with...butter? Not that it was any part of the problem but it kept me from wanting to touch my phone for fear of leaving copious amounts of glistening formula on my screen. But, really, the taste was lacking. The bacon on it was limp. What would have made it good was some sautéed onions (which aren't a part of it and I'm not sure if I could've gotten some). But I did pour the leftover Rangoon dipping sauce on there for some added flavor. Next time I won't get my burger from a seafood joint. read more

This was a very nice outing to say the least. Food was very good. The Nashville Hot Shrimp was indeed hot, but delicious nonetheless! The service was very professional and very helpful! Thank you Kylee! read more

Deep fried seafood doesn't tasted good enough to worth the price, but amount is good. Probably better idea to order a lobster. read more

The special that's crab Rangoon shrimp is to die for. Melo is worth requesting every time!! She is the bomb.com, always going the extra mile for customers. Rare kind of service. Foods always good. Waits never long. read more

We went to the red lobster on Thursday for lunch. The food was ok. I had the Cllam chowder and artichoke dip. There was not one artichoke in the dip, it didn't even taste like artichoke. A friend had the lobster bisque, she commented not an pieces of lobster in the dish either. Another friend had some prepared vegetables like Brussel sprouts she did indicate that they had good flavor but then later in the day upset her stomach. Our waitress was kind and energetic, her name was Lynn. I'm not sure I'd go back, I feel the quality of food has really gone down read more

Food was very good and our server when out of her way to see we had everything I would like to thank her so. The hostess was very nice too. .no problem . read more

Visit this location last night, have to say that it wasn't a ten, more like a 4 , place was clean , beer was not up to par, tasted old, food could of been prepared better for the cost, shrimp scampi isn't that hard to cook , traveling for work, mash potatoes wear fake tatoes , was expecting more out of a fine dining restaurant, overall food needs some work and updated your beer , will not be visiting red lobster again read more

This is a really nice red lobster. It is it busy, which is pretty unusual for a red lobster restaurant elsewhere, in my opinion. We have always had pretty good service, and the food has been consistently good. When we went there for my birthday our waiter gave me a free dessert, which was really nice. My favorite is when they have the unlimited shrimp fest - or whatever that thing is called - that is definitely the time to go to red lobster. read more

Jeff L is the man. We had him as our server and he was awesome the entire night!!!! Food was decent too

We arrived and no one came over to us until we needed to go get the waiter and they said they had to find them. Then someone finally came out and said I guess I'll take your orders. They FINALLY took our drink order 45 min later. Then brought bread. We waited 2 hours for them to bring out our food. They brought no silverware. There were waitresses just standing around counting their tips and ignoring us. Other customers who came in hours after us got their food faster. This was ridiculous. Also the water in the male bathroom was scalding hot and my grandson burned his hands. Most ridiculous experience I've had in years at any restaurant. The fish n chips were sad. One tiny fish fillet and like 4 fries. One star was too good. The food was also freezing. There were waitresses sitting at tables on their cell phones while people waited. There was one lady who jumped in to help us and tried her hardest to help us but overall this was ridiculous. Also the kid's fish and chips had more food than the adult portion. Should have just ordered off the kid menu and paid less read more

I am surprised, and very disappointed, with my experience at this establishment last night. Upon entering, one is overwhelmed by a damp, musty smell that permeates the building. The restroom, of all places, is the only place this aroma does not assail. We were greeted promptly and courteously. Our server was, at first, very eager to have our order yet when ask to be given a few minutes, 15 minutes went by. I was very anxious to try a king crab and steak dinner. I was inform I could add a steak to the generous amount of King Crab Legs that I will be receiving. I ordered the New York Strip. My mouth began to water. I was informed that it comes with a salad and one side. Though the menu clearly states two sides. I ordered long grain rice as my side and a Corona to drink while I waited...and waited...and waited. Ten minutes passed until my beer came. I had to ask for it again. When the food finally arrived my meal consisted of 7 crab legs that were half the normal size of King Crab Legs. I would call them Pauper Crab Legs. They were over steamed and rubbery. The New York Steak was appropriate in size but the cook must love peppercorn as my steak was just chalked full of it. It drowned out the flavor of the meat. The rice was the only acceptable food item served to me. I paid $62 bucks for a $3 TV dinner. I will never set foot into another Red Lobster again. Very, very disappointed. read more

This location is new and features Red Lobster's updated decor as they try to get away from the sea shanty theme. The dining area is kept clean and the wait staff are very very good. Always have had a good experience here. It's kind of tricky to get into because it is part of a large retail development, but there are access points off of both Creasy and 26. I like Red Lobster although it's not the best seafood I've ever had, it's acceptable. read more

I had an amazing experience here at this Red Lobster. Andrew, the bartender, is excellent. Awesome service and food. I had the ultimate feast and everything was perfect, and the crab legs were especially good. read more

Love this Red Lobster! We had the Ultimate feast and everything was delish! Management made sure we were taken care of and our server was super sweet. read more

Service and food were great. But the wait was long and there wasn't a lot of people here. So the food should have came a lot faster. Over all the atmosphere was good. They also could have had some more people working at that Red Lobster. read more

Ted, our waiter was pretty decent. The food was a different story. Frankly, it wasn't the worst meal we've had there but certainly not worth going back for. NY strip was overlooked and had no flavor. Broccoli was very dry and rubbery. Nashville Hot shrimp tasted reheated. Baked potato wasn't quite done. read more

Service was good. Always a fan of Red Lobster until this location. Salad had iceberg lettuce, 2 tomatoes and half a piece if red onion. Steak was overcooked to the point it was difficult to cut with a knife. Shrimp linguine is always my favorite but it was really dry : ( Sometimes thinks happen so I will give them another try but not soon. Left a bad taste in my mouth. read more

This was one of my favorite spots to eat. My husband and I went there for our anniversary dinner. My food arrived cold and needed to be sent back. His steak was cooked to a well done when requested at medium. They took the steak back and left the rest if his food. We ended up just sharing what he had, so we could eat together. I ended up just taking my ultimate feast home as he was done with his food by the time mine got there. At least the animals got to eat. Was very disappointed. We will not be returning. read more

The service was good. We waited and hour and a half to be seated, I know they do not have enough tables to seat 8. We were told no call a heads for this weekend, while waiting i heard the girl at front desk taking call ahead seating. I asked her about it and she said we only do for four people or less. The staff at door seemed unfriendly and very unhappy. Come on it was Father's Day. The food was cold, the lobster tail was stuck to inside of shell, the fried shrimp was cold. Our daughter had to send her steak back twice, at which time we were all finished eating. There was no discount on the terrible food and the 3 hours we spent there. I am not usually a complainer but this was ridiculous, as the place wasn't even full of customers. We did have two children that sustained the wait pretty well. It will be a place we will not be returning to anytime soon. read more

Server Kylie was amazing! Kylie - thank you for all your help with the biscuit situation!!

Lobster fest! Grilled lobster tail along with big red shrimp were delicious. Those fantastic biscuits, a nice salad and friendly and efficient service made for a terrific meal. I come to this Red Lobster whenever I'm in Lafayette. I wish my local Red Lobster was as good. read more

IF I COULD GIVE ZERO OR NEGATIVE STARS I WOULD. I loved red lobster but after this visit I am DONE. FOR GOOD. I have never been so disappointed by a restaurant in my life. The service was perfectly fine and so was the atmosphere but my husband and I came in for a special treat the "endless shrimp" and I'm not positive if it just this particular red lobster or the entire chain that has INCREASED PRICES and LOWERED FOOD QUANTITY AND QUALITY. IT IS SERIOUSLY RIDICULOUS! The endless shrimp used to be $15.99 and this time it was 17.99 per person but the upsetting, annoying, ridiculous part was the shrimp. The quantity was so low I had to take picture to post what was actually brought to me. At one time my "refill of endless shrimp scampi" I was given 4 little shrimps. 4. FOUR SHRIMP. It took all of 45 seconds to eat and then wait for the waiter to come back and ask if we wanted another order of shrimp and then wait for another tiny dish of shrimp. It was like the old endless shrimp plates cut in 1/2 (and that's a generous fraction.....) WASTE OF MY TIME AND MY MONEY. Red lobster has lost my families business and also anyone I can tell. I will share my photos of my dish on FB, Instagram, and Yelp. WARNING PEOPLE // red lobster is a SCAM. read more

My family and I went to this location after getting off the highway. Red Lobster is my mothers favorite place for dinner. The hostess was very friendly and accommodating to our seating needs. This was the end of our wholesome experience. Waitress Shayla M, at first seemed welcoming then her attitude changed. My daughter has some health issues and asked Shayla to help her with her meal choice. I noticed that Shayla become rude and condescending. Telling my daughter that red Lobster steamed all their vegetables; as if my daughter was stupid for not knowing. Then when she brought our salads she basically toss the bowl to my 90 year old mother. I gave her a look and she said" it's salad" in a nasty tone. At first I thought she asked if we wanted sour cream. She was like, no, I was telling you it was salad; you looked at me like you did not know what it was. At this point, I saw a look of disgust on my mothers face. My mom also noticed that another party that came in after us was being served quicker than we were. We finally got our food but could not enjoy it after the bad service. I will not go to Red Lobster again at this location. After three weeks of asking for redemption, was only given a $20 gift card. That was our worth, $20. read more

Really do like the food here but it's kinda pricy and it takes quite awhile for them to prepare the food. It will be about 100 bucks for two ppl. read more

I was there on a Sunday (Labor Day weekend) to take my daughter and her room mate for dinner. We were relieved to see that there was no wait in getting seated since the girls were very hungry. If there was a wait, we would have gone elsewhere. However, our food took a very long time and we noticed that the customers who came after us were being served! And we were still left to wait for our food..our drinks were refilled for the 3rd time already and we still had not gotten our food. I was very upset at this point. Just when I was debating whether to walk out and find another place, the manager (Mike) brought our food out himself and apologized profusely. He not only was sincerely apologetic with words but with his actions. He ended up giving us a generous discount on our food which was delicious. Our first meal in Lafayette, IN would have engraved our memory with a very bad experience. However, although they were faced with a tough situation with too many customers and not enough kitchen staff, management was able to send customers back home with a smile in the end. Food is what you expect out of a Red Lobster everywhere else. However, I was very impressed with the staff at this location. Thank you Mike and I wish I had gotten the name of our waiter who was also very attentive! read more

Overpriced seafood! Would it kill yall to turn some lights on? Call me old fashion but im not getting dressed up to eat at a big chain like Red Lobster so I wear jeans a t shirt and a hoodie get seated by a nice girl then some lady who looked like she belonged on that cheap trick album cover goes down a list of special occasions on why my ass is at Red lobster,finally i just said Ma'am im just here to eat."uh well ok let me explain the menu" ( i know im "underdressed for the fancy Red Lobster but cmon! So after all this i wait...i wait ...i wait some more..then the food arrives looks pretty good! Love me some shrimp! I close my eyes and take my first bite..the mediocrity is stunning i let out a deep sigh as the bill comes... read more

For what I paid, could have been A lot better than this. Had a water and a Coke to drink, and an order of fried mushrooms and coconut shrimp, no refills were brought for drinks or biscuits, and Casey, our server was at our table ONCE, after she dropped off the food and it wasn't even that busy. Step up your game. read more

Red Lobster - Been on our table for 20 minutes.... - Seafood Near Me - Lafayette, Indiana

This location was very pleasant and the service we had at lunch was quick and courteous. The seafood here is average. It's a chain restaurant so don't expect anything too gourmet or unique. If you don't have any other options for seafood, this place will get you by. Restaurant was very clean. read more

Interesting if you intend to order Holiday Platters. After 15+ years of ordering platters ahead of time, this year this restaurant is only taking same day orders. So, the large platters I need Christmas Eve I'm encouraged to call at 10:30 am and give them an hour before picking up. Wonder if the phone lines or someone to assist will be available? Makes me nervous about trusting this untested idea by management. I'll write back on the outcome. read more

First and foremost the service was great!!!! Now to the food. Everything and I mean everything was overcooked. Order the muscles they were like rubber pellets. They should be moist and a tad bit chewy but they were dry and rubbery. Then the crab legs again way over cooked!!!! My husband didn't care much for his lobster and steak. Now for a bill over a hundred dollars for two you should get at a minimum decent food. We took a Togo package and threw it in the trash the second we walked in. Again, the service was great. The food was way below Red Lobster standard. Will not go back. read more

Had dinner tonight at Red Lobster. The appetizer (lobster pizza) was very good. The service was also good and efficient. The entrees while they had good flavor were warm at best. The restaurants was not busy and the food didn't seem to take that long to get to the table so being just warm was inexcusable. The price you pay for an entrée there seems high for the portion sizes. I will most likely go back but if it turns out this way again it will be the last time. read more

The whole experience was ruined by a waitress that put smoke breaks before customer service. She let us sit waiting for refills and sauces while she went out to smoke and when she did return she smelled terrible ruining our appetites. Not returning to this Red Lobster any time soon. read more

Service was horrible!!! Wait 20 mins on salads and then another 20 on meal. When I ask for more of the endless shrimp another 20 mins. BS!

Went there for lunch on 10/13. Very clean. Service was good. Food was underwhelming. The stuffed mushrooms were no better than frozen from the grocery. My Cesar Salad was under dressed and they use shaved cheese rather than graded. Who does that? My Shrimp Alfredo was average. The little shrimps were clearly from a bag. I can do better at home. Wife's wild rice was very dry. Remember, this was only lunchtime. Everything should have been spot on. Her grilled chicken tacos did not have much flavor. Didn't finish them. Won't be going back. read more

Fantastic service from the bar. The short little bartender on weekend nights makes a mean drink and keep cranking out drink after drink. Typical high-end chain prices, good food. Alcohol priced a tad high, but the food and dining experience is first class. Tables in the dining rooms are large and spacious, servers are attentive and very respectful. If you want a quality seafood experience and have around $100 for two of you, you shouldn't be disappointed. There is cheaper seafood, but it isn't the same quality. Being a chain restaurant they have to meet a certain expectation of the dining experience, unlike some of the low-end chains RL meets and exceeds expectations. Sit at the bar and watch that short bartender crank out drinks like a pro (she probably is). Great place for a date with your special lady. read more
