Went to dinner add celebrate hubby's nephew birthday. Our server, Annastasia was very good, patient and has the best service. She's really the bar tender . My hubby was happy with his Long Island iced tea. Dinner was good. Gastro experience was phenomenal. I split an entry with my sister and it was still a lot. The amount of food, plenty. Ambiance was nice, not too much people at this time. read more

Went for 90th birthday celebration Our experience was long and overdrawn out. We showed up around 5pm. DINNER TIME MR. MANAGMENT!!! We were seated right away and our server Nate was very engaging. We figured out what we wanted and ordered up our meals. Unfortunately for NATE and US the restaurant got very busy. One hostess, one bartender, one waiter. That was it. AND we all suffered as a result. Understand we can't have staff standing around but it was bad. Food came out and I think it was the manager who brought it out and looked to be cooking too. My fish and chips was hot and pretty good. The fried shrimp was good and the scampi flavorful. So one server for dinner hour? Also a tell was that there was no sweetener available except from the back of house. No sweetness on each table. Only salt and pepper. can't figure it out. Temperature and cleanliness of the interior is appreciated. My silverware had baked on "stuff" on one of my forks....pretty bad. HIGHLIGHT - 'Dem damn biscuits to die for....... read more

Experience: lobster is my favorite food. So I like to treat myself to a freshly steamed lobster once a year for my birthday. So we came for lunch on a Friday around 1:00 for me to get my lobster fix. Facility: It's a nice size restaurant with plenty of room for big groups. There are booths, tables and chairs, and a bar too. There were quite a few tables that needed to be wiped down, but we still got a nice booth by the window. Service: we were seated immediately and had a good waitress that was attentive and patient with us. We requested many extra things and she never made us feel like we were annoying or bothering her. Food: YUM!!! The food was so good. The biscuits were hot and fresh, and my kid ate 4 of them. LOL! Of course we both ordered a lobster and it did not disappoint. It's such a fun thing to crack your own lobster and then enjoy the fruit of your labor dipped in melted butter. We also ordered a few appetizers: Crab dip - 4/5 good tasting ... slight crabby flavor in the cheesy dip. Mozzarella sticks- 5/5 mostly for my kid, but I ate one and it was good. Bacon wrapped scallops - 4/5 very good ... simply a scallop wrapped in bacon. How can you do wrong? You get two sides with your lobster... Roasted Brussels spouts - 5/5 you must try these... they are crispy and tender in the middle and the balsamic glaze is perfectly balanced. Salad - 5/5 can't go wrong with a side salad with their house ranch (I forgot to ask for no onions). Bacon mac and cheese - 4/5 creamy and delicious French fries - my kid ate them all. Lobster - 5/5 just perfect!! Steamed and they give it to you with the tools needed and items to clean, bib, napkins, lemon, etc. I want to go back now and eat some more after writing this. Overall: We have seen so many Red Lobsters close around the U.S. and Florida... I pray this will not be on the list. Such a great lunch... I hope people don't forget how good this place is. We WILL be back!! read more

I kinda forget that this Red Lobster location is still open. Drove by after shopping at Best Buy and those biscuits called out to me. I ordered the Crab Carbonara and it was quite tasty. Plenty of crab, tomatoes, parmesan. I was a little concerned it would be mostly pasta but it was a good ratio. The drink menu was very tempting. I'm coming back when I have a designated driver. Liz was my server and she provided friendly, competent, and attentive service. read more

Went there today for a wonderful whole boiled lobster meal. Hadstuffed mushrooms and two pound lobsters. Could not have been happier with the food quality, delivery, and follow up by the Manager Laicee H. We were there three months ago before Laicee came on board and the quality and service was terrible. The appitizer stuffed mushrooms came out about half way through the lobster meal. The meal came to us with only one nut cracker. The previouse manager said that all their nut crackers had been stolen. Some manager. Today because of the wonderful management job by Laicee H we found Red Lobster to be the wonderful place that it is suppose to be. Thank you Laicee and staff. Maurice Thibodeau read more

We went on a Sunday afternoon after seeing all the new commercials with the new CEO and the seafood boil bags. The restaurant was maybe 10% occupied. We receded ordered drinks and got our biscuits. Our waiter night was awesome and very attentive. The biscuits as always were delicious. We both ordered the seafood boil in a bag and although it's not quite as good as Louisiana seafood boils it was a good experience. The food was good. The biscuits were incredible and I got a really cool shaker cup to take home with my drink that has a lobster claw on top of it. If nothing else it was worth the 30 minute drive for the biscuits. read more

The food was good, the service was iffy because a guy here was like where I was from and how come he never seen me. And I had to explain which I didn't have too. That a lady is seen not heard and I was in school and home. Not in the streets. I found that offensive. The second or third time I went my server didn't give me all of my change. Then he told me he didn't have it. I politely instructed him to go figure out how to give me all of my money back. Just weird here. I would always typically order the same thing. The Caesar salad or the seafood mix with a blue Long Island(which was so strong I couldn't even drink 15% of it. But I do plan on ordering something new when I come back. The ambiance was nice and it always seems empty when I do come. I do hope my experience improves here. read more

The good first. Tess was our server and she was a joy. Friendly, personable and attentive despite being the only bartender at the time. The kitchen service was horrible. We were a table of 4 and an hour passed between our order being placed and our food arrival. Tess was the only reason we didn't walk out and this review being one star. There is no reasonable excuse for the kitchen as the restaurant was nearly empty at the time. read more

This place should just shutdown. Didn't see our waitress for thirty minutes after being seated. Waited almost 2 hours for our food (party of 6) When we finally got our food, one plate wasn't anything we ordered and the staff was upset at us, a seafood boil we had was barely warm and had a frozen corn cob. This is not an exaggeration, it wasn't a cold corn cob, it was straight frozen. We even had a manager come by at around an hour and a half and noticed we had been there awhile tell us she was going to check on our order, we never saw her again. Throughout this whole ordeal, we had 3 members say they would go check on our orders and none of them came back with an update. We decided to leave, paid for our drinks and left, we explained ourselves and a different manager was honest and said " I don't blame you" . This place should just stop trying and just close. read more

Not the best this time around. The service however was great! Got the 3 choices shrimp dinner, my favorite, coconut shrimp was sold out.

My boyfriend and I went to this Red Lobster on New Years Eve. We were there for two hours waiting on sub par food that wasn't even warm. The only bright sides to the meal were a Caesar salad and the biscuits. If you were lucky enough to get one, the Bud Light was good, too. The restaurant was dead, and service was beyond slow, but we did get a lovely seat next to the bathroom, which was kind of convenient since we were there so long. I don't know what's happened to this restaurant, but I wouldn't recommend it to my worst enemy. Popeyes has better shrimp, and way better prices, and service is probably comparable. Avoid like the plague. read more

The food was amazing. It was fresh and hot. The restaurant was very clean, but the walkways out front need to be renovated because some of the wood has rotted out. The service was ok, not very good, maybe it was an off day, I'm not sure. I think the service needs to be a bit happier inside. I will go back again. 3 Stars. read more

Went on a Saturday for lunch. It wasn't busy, the food came out pretty quick and tasted great. I got the salmon, and my wife got the crab legs. They weren't dry or overcooked - also crispy brussel sprouts were great too. Better than I expected! read more

If I could give zero/negative stars this would be it. First off, never going back! We had reservations and arrived only to find out that it was a 90 minute wait for a table. They continued to take reservations knowing they couldn't accommodate arriving guests. Overbooked and under staffed is the politest way to describe this location. This was the second time this has happened and they will not get another chance. I'm amazed that this location is still in business. This location is so BAD I would NOT RECOMMEND this establishment to my worst enemy. It would be no surprise to find out this location went out of business. Save your time and money because aggravated is the best you can hope for. The franchisee and corporate office should close the doors permanently to save themselves from any further disparaging remarks. read more

Took my daughter here on a Saturday night. Was surprised at how empty it was ordered appetizer and water right away after 40 minutes of waiting finally got our appetizer that tasted like it was under a heating lamp for the entire waiting time. The calamari was hard and inedible but this point. read more

The food was fine. But the server was the BEST! She made the unexpected delays in food preparation tolerable, even enjoyable. Tess was consistently considerate and professional. A real credit to her personally and an excellent representative of Red Lobster. read more

The food was ok. But the service sucked. We waited for just drinks almost 30 min. It seems they are short staffed. And the waitress was running around like crazy tried to keep up. We have been here before. But it was never like this. Don't think we will be back. Unless they get back to normal service read more

My mom and I haven't eaten at red lobster in years and decided to go yesterday because of the new menu items and whatnot to try it out again. The experience was lack luster at best and to top it all off my mom's seafood boil came out with the shrimp undercooked! When we told the server she did rectify the situation and the manager brought out a new one and the shrimp was cooked but had the wrong seasonings on it they then charged full price for everything. I don't expect a discount but man at least 10% would have shown something... as nice as the server was we will not be returning ever again. My stomach and hers couldn't handle it! read more

The waitresses take forever to seat me and my family and every waitress was slaking around and not doing there job I wonder why no one wants to eat at this red lobster they don't clean after customers read more

The meal that I ordered is usually good. Walt's shrimp were warm ( not crisp) and little greasy, the baked potato was warm. The plate was not appetizing! The chowder was warm and I had to eat it fast before it got cold. My husband had the Bowl and Hello said it was good. The waitress was pleasant and she heated my potato after I asked her. She offered refills. The biscuits were room temp and we didn't like the flavor and too salty. The worse part was that the restaurant was almost empty, dark and felt spooky. My husband asked for a window booth that was empty, but she refused to let him move saying the area we were in ( next to the. Slamming kitchen door) was where they were serving." I'm so sorry that we ate there and I hope I don't get sick because the booth was sticky and the silverware was dirty and I had to clean it with my lemon. I don't mind some inconvenience, but this was the last time for me. The waitress disappeared after she dropped off the bill. read more

I liked their daily special. They seem to be kicking up their image in West Melbourne. Nice servers.

Every staff member we encountered was attentive, courteous, professional and efficient! We were immediately greeted and kept informed about readiness for a table and seated within 5 minutes of our arrival. We did not make a reservation but learned they take reservations now. Drink order was taken right away and the Bahama Mama never disappoints! Server was excellent without intruding, food portions and quality were excellent. I created my own two shrimp selections and upgraded to clam chowder and ordered a side of snow crab legs. My husband did the same minus the crab legs and ordered a new menu item, hush puppies which were delicious. It was a superb experience which was a complete 180 from our last visit, we were afraid to return but after this recent visit we learned it's under new management determined to be successful. We will be returning! read more

Pretty much the standard Red Lobster here. Plenty of parking, busy on a Sunday night. After a long and exhausting trade show with few breaks except for yogurt and crackers we were very hungry and Red Lobster was close by. We both ordered Shrimp combos. Normally she would have ordered the Coconut Shrimp for her sweet tooth, and I the Fried Shrimp with cocktail sauce tempered with horseradish. But they were introducing a new, to us at least, Stiracha-Honey Shrimp, so we tried that with our usuals. It was excellent! Sweetness for my wife and a little fiery kick for me. Salad and biscuits were excellent, as usual. High marks for the food. Unfortunately service was lacking. It was busy so we allowed extra time but my requested horseradish came near the end of our meal. And my tea was empty for most of the meal. Server seemed a bit flustered, possibly still learning. read more

used to be my go to for fish and chips but now serving ms Paul's or Gortons frozen filets won't be back !

Me and my boyfriend went on our lunch break on Saturday, we were in no rush so it was no biggie, but our waitress, I can't remember her name but seemed to be drowning in tables and so that made the service not very good which made her stressed it seemed. We were very understanding of how it can be hard to have that many tables but at times we never saw her anywhere and she walked with no pep in her step, it took roughly 15 minutes to get our drinks (water and sweet tea), the drinks she even brought out on a tray with our food, red lobster is definitely not the cheapest so we felt like they definitely either need more servers on or just ones that have a little pep in their step and act like they want to be there. Side note: food was delicious, and we were in no rush so it was good for us, just the service could've been a little better. read more

So, the front door is dirty and needs a good cleaning as well as the booth areas. Cheryl our server was wonderful considering what she had to work with. Really no biscuits for a while when we sat. Isn't that why we all go there? The bar was out of grand manier for there signature margaritas and gave us Quervo instead of patron. Medium rare steak that was supposed to be a filet come out well done and was a ribeye. Tacos were ok but a little over fried. I guess since Dardin sold then it is all down hill in my opinion. read more

We are traveling through Florida sampling local seafood. However, today my husband was hungry for a hearty lobster meal ala Red Lobster. So I tagged along. He had the Lobster Fest and I had the coconut shrimp lunch special. Our server, Jenny, was attentive, friendly and thoughtful. My husband loved the various selections he chose. My coconut shrimp were huge and tender, the salad I ordered fresh and delicious. We ate two servings of their biscuits. And the price was the most economical we've paid on this trip. Great job read more

I don't know - maybe it's the $140 price tag...lobster sushi on one meal, fried leather nuggets on the other & fried shrimp that's not deveined. We haven't ate there in a while but they put this orange powder stuff ALL over the pastas...not sure if it's old bay, season salt or paprika but it ruins the pasta. If you get any-pasta...the mac n chez had maybe 6 noodles & was a bowl full of chez w/ample bacon. Coleslaw tasted old-definitely not fresh! But the biscuits were fresh! The gal that brought out my bag was great-hygiene appropriate & polite-but there wasn't a soul around. I'm done! read more

REFFERENCE # GM111224T 11/11 VETERANS DAY On this day a lot of restaurants in the community celebrate and honor our veterans by offering them a free meal or free item as a thank you for their service add sacrifice. As a military family we look forward to this day and we moved through the community with great pride. Most communities offer up a list of the restaurant and stores that are participating we go through and pick out the ones we'd like to go to and with almost all of our experiences they are pleasurable and the staff is welcoming and kind.However this was not the experience at the Red Lobster on 192 in Melbourne Florida. Keep in mind that this is a business that has been going under and it's barely staying afloat so you would think did their staff would be going above and beyond to make sure that all of the customers were treated well. My retired veteran went to this location as a proud Black Navy Vet but was met with disrespect! Let me set the stage the restaurant literally had 10 other customers during a lunch time hour which is when most restaurants are extremely busy, he was told by the greeter that he would have to wait 5 minutes to be seated ina basically empty restaurant. If you know anything about military people you have to know that for some of them it is very hard to get up and go out into the community because they suffer from things like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. My husband venturing out on his own is a big deal and I celebrate him even more so on those days because I know the extra effort that it's taking for him to get out into the community. On this day he went into Red Lobster thinking that he was going to be treated with respect and thanks for his service but instead he was greeted by a waitress that seemed to have a problem with serving a veteran and providing them with a free meal. She said to him "oh you're here for the free veterans meal" My husband was well dressed &neatly groomed with a pleasant attitude, but this waitress treated him as if he was a beggar off the street.She never once welcomed him in, she never once thanked him for his service and she didn't even ask him what he wanted she just tossed him a menu walked away, came back moments later took his order and brought him a filthy glass of water to drink. She eventually came back to the table sat down his meal and walked away! While sitting there he watched how she interacted with the other customers and she was not giving them the same lack of service but every time she would come back passed histable she would ignore him until she noticed that he was finished and this is where the whole situation turned on its head!!! When she saw that his plate was clear she walked up to him and said "YOU CAN GO NOW"!!!!!! She never asked him if he wanted to see the dessert menu or if you needed anything else or if he'd like to place a to go order she just assumed he was only there for a free meal. She treated my husband as if he was a beggar knocking on the back door of the restaurant begging for a meal!!! He actually wanted to place an order for other things and I plan on leaving her a generous tip but that all went out the window!!!! How dare she!!!! I personally went back to the restaurant and spoke to the manager Tammy who gave the impression that she was very appalled by the actions of her waitress and she offered an apology and gift cardbut for me that was not enough. My thought is this if you do not like working in the food industry or a customer service field then don't apply for the job. There are plenty of others out there who would love to have that job and would handle themselves accordingly! My request was that she be reprimanded by being written up and suspended from her duties. People like her need to understand that there are repercussions for your actions and that when you mistreat people Karma we'll come knocking at your door. And by the way this waitress was African American so it really Disturbed my spirit to know that a black woman would treat a black man in this manner in a public place. I plan on reaching out to the DM & CEO! I'm so disappointed and discussed ! I have and will continue to share ths expirence with my family and friends. I will be encouraging them not patronize any RL locations, when you disrespect one of us you DISRESPECT ALL OF US! read more

Server was friendly but she was very slow. When came to the food it was served to after a very long wait, the plates were hot but the food was warm but not hot enough to melt the cheese on the top of the food. Never got a beverage refill. Waited 15 minutes for a to go box and the check. When we finally got the check I tried it give her the payment but she said that she had to take an order and would be right back. Got tired of waiting and left with the payment for the check on the table. read more

Today I ordered a Whole30 bowl w/ salad greens instead of rice, w/ Steak and it was to come w/fajita veggies. I paid extra for corn salsa . 5 pcs of lettuce mix and the fajita veggies were practically uncooked . IF there was a tablespoon of corn salsa , I'm stretching the truth. A cup of guac overwhelmed the bowl. Unnecessary waste , but appreciated. Chips were stale. Kitchen mgr may need to retrain the staff. Had it delivered so I couldn't return to discuss . Very disappointing. read more

5:05 pm on a Wednesday afternoon. I walk up to the front door, and a man from behind approached. As a gentleman would, I held the door open for him, and he stepped in, not returning the favor with the 2nd set of doors. Inside, the host and hostess are struggling through what appears to be a shift change and a lack of servers. The city employee whom I allowed past me was promptly offered a table, with the caveat that it would be 5 minutes before his server would see him. All this, even though the other half of his party had not arrived. I was here to dine alone. Alone. That would be the theme for the next 40 minutes. Soon after, I was perched with the same speil, though my way time was to be 15 minutes. I was ushered to my table, right next to the scallywag, who took advantage of my generosity, accompanied by a post-it note stating my arrival time of 5:14 with a wait time of 15 minutes. Ok. 5:30 would come soon enough as I sat there with my phone. Alone. A few minutes pass. The server comes by to state she would be with us (myself and my shameless neighbor) as soon as possible. Soon thereafter, she asks my next- table nemesis for their drink order. They are ready to order food. Fantastic. She can grab my drink order, and I'll have something to sip on for the next few minutes until my time comes. 5:30 comes. 5:30 goes. Next thing I realize, the motley city workers had been delivered their food. I've yet to place a drink order or even offered a glass of water. I just sat there. Alone. Finally, at 5:45, the server returns to START my drink order. No apology. No remorse. 15 minutes after the glowing sticky note staring at her shoes how long I've sat there. Alone. I couldn't take it. I got up, went to Popeyes, and got a flounder sandwich for $5. Alone. read more
