I Love Red Lobster and have visited several different ones. Now, I'm funny about floors, especially in a restaurant. When we walked in this one near Commonwealth 20, there was trash, yes TRASH, on the floor including a piece of used straw paper. I told the hostess I'm funny about floors and she said, I'll clean the floor for you. She used some sweeper thing and guess what that straw paper is STILL on the floor. Can't tell you how many peeps have walked past it and utterly refuse to pick it up. Plus there are pieces of paper all over the floor. I'm flabbergasted!!! Also, the place is not very busy! The server was good and the food delicious but this nasty floor will be the sole reason I do not return here. read more

Food was good, but when I went to the bathroom, I heard the sounds of someone having an extremely loud bowel movement. When they were finished, they stepped from the stall and left without washing their hands. The person in question was an employee - a very tall, stocky white guy. Gross. Wash your hands, especially if you work there and have just taken an enormous poop. read more

Worst Red lobster I have ever had the misfortune of eating. The "employees" are rude and obviously do not want to be there. You are better off going to Captain D. read more

I like Red Lobster. I really do! Though for a chain restaurant, they generally have a crowd of people waiting to go in. While this can be a pain for a diner in a rush; they work hard to get people seated and fed. This is comfort food from the sea. Stuffed Flounder and Shrimp Scampi compete with Crab Legs and the Admiral's Feast on the menu. But, we know why we all go back. The Cheddar Bay Biscuits! They bring them to your table and you weigh your options on how many you can eat without ruining your dinner. The answer is, just keep asking for them. Let the biscuits flow like the spice Melange on Arrakis. While it is not marketed as such; they have been known to grant increased vitality and the ability to navigate Interstellar distances. While, it is not one of my go-to places as the prices are little more than I want to spend on an average day out, the biscuits win me over every time. read more

Went there for Date night..got seated pretty quick. Ordered our food..when they brought out my wife's food..she had a HAIR in her baked potatoe. My fish and chips consisted of 10-15 cold fries and a piece of fish that was 75% batter. No taste at all..but after the hair incident I had lost my appetite completely. read more

No the best food I had at red lobster but Brianna was amazing. Attentive and kept on bringing the cheese biscuits even gave us a carry home box with some in. She made this place so much better as we do not have red lobsters in our area. Thanks Brianna!! read more

Had Business meeting/lunch here. The service was great thanks to Stephanie and her trainee sorry but I didn't get her name. Anyway, they were great on point with coming back checking on us seeing if everything was good, bringing out more shrimp because I did order the endless shrimp and they were definitely hot and delicious. Nice! read more

This has got to be the best Red Lobster I have ever been to in my life!!!! Had lunch here with a friend. The service was EXCELLENT. His name was Greg and OMG...best customer service I've received in a long time. The cheesy bread was coming out like hot cakes and were great!!! YUMMY!!! I had the create a meal w/3 options: crab legs, walt's shrimps and shrimp scampi. I also had a baked potatoe. I always see Red Lobsters commercial but rarely go in there. It was great!! Everything was seasoned wonderfully! I started having dreams when I went to sleep. Ohhh and for apps we had the coconut shrimp and yummy!! Normally every time I eat coconut shrimp they are dried and over cooked. This was PERFECT!!! I was very satisfied :) Total damage for 2 people: $61.15 read more

Theres nothing better than a free dinner on the boss. I enjoyed a shrimp trio.. Scampi, fried, and shrimp pasta... With a baked potato.... Scampi was my fav of the three.. Very buttery and fi ger lickin' good. Lol... The service... Umm.. Not so much.. My waitress was slipping.. She didnt handle the drinks on time, she disapeared and felt like she was never coming back... My co worker had to send her rice back, it was mushy and overcooked. They brought a replacement of mashed potatoes and three different people came o er to ask what was needed... Kind of annoying... Communication is key.. They seemed scatterbrained. Overall the food was good as far as my trio.. And my rasberry lemonade.. read more

I was disappointed this afternoon. Red Lobster has never been one of my favorite Seafood restaurants, but the food quality and service has always been fine. We visited the Hull Street location on Saturday afternoon and they were not very busy around 3pm on Labor Day weekend. Helen had grilled shrimp that she said was good. I tried the pound of snow crab legs. The crab legs arrived slightly warmer than room temperature, (not hot), but I did not say anything because I was worried they might get overcooked if I sent them back. The legs taste should have been slightly salty or have the smell of salt water. The taste was actually bland. There was no taste on the legs until I dipped them in butter. I am trying to watch my weight, and thought the crab legs without butter would be great since they are a great source of protein. I was not planning on using any butter because I did not want the fat or calories. The wait staff was excellent as usual. I have never had bad service at this restaurant. The fish never seams to be as fresh as some of the "locally owned" restaurans, but they are usually consistent. We will probably go back to the restaurant, but I will definitely not order the crab legs. read more

This was my first time at a Red Lobster ever (shocking, no?) and I got the shrimp lovers plate with shrimp scampi and friend shrimp. I was truly pleasantly surprised by how much I liked my meal. Most chain restaurants are pretty mediocre, but Red Lobster definitely did a great job of retaining quality and interesting dishes. I also am obsessed with their cheesy bread that they give you as your bread basket. Om nom nom I could eat those rolls for days. read more

Well the $11.99 crab sampler was not worth it. See the picture i uploaded. Its literally the smallest crab cake ever. I mean if i was going to spend $12 on this i could have gone to The Boathouse across the street and at least it wouldn't have been bone dry and it would have been full size. read more

Red Lobster - The $11.99 crab sampler... smallest crab cake ever. - Seafood Near Me - Midlothian, Virginia

Exactly what you'd expect from a national chain restaurant. It seems that wherever you go - the quality is the same, which can be a good thing for those that love familiarity. On the negative side - it can only be so good, which is also what you'd expect. We came here when they had the all you can eat shrimp which we both loved. And the cheddar bay biscuits are a delight! Overall a good dining experience. Solid, but not out of this world. read more

Terrible service every time. Seems no matter who the server is, they act like its burden to they're job and serve the patron. For what Red Lobster charges for less of a portion you would think the service would be outstanding. The worst one there is named Africa, if they seat you and they say "Africa will be right with you" just leave, you'll be better off. Well that night I had a breach on my credit card. The only place I used it was at Red Lobster so take that as you will... read more

I have been couple times the last couple months & the last time I went I said I would never return the food & staff was just not the same. However my daughter was begging me to go so I sucked it up and went last night even though we checked in online it said 15 min wait but once we arrived they told us 30-35 mins my daughter refused to go anywhere else so we waited & IT WAS DELICIOUS EVERYTHING WAS SO FRESH EVEN MY BF TOLD THE WAITRESS PLEASE TELL THE COOK THANK YOU .. & the best waitress ever is STEPHANIE D. She's amazing this was the one on Midlothian va read more

This place has really changed. Our Waitress, Brittany, is disconnected with her Clients. Others at the bar are complaining about the wait time. It took about 30 minutes to get our meal. Another guy told her, "I've been sitting her since 7:00 and no one has come to see what I want." It was 7:20. At the time we ordered there were only 3 couples at the bar and lots of empty seats. We came here last week and saw about 10 or more empty tables but was told it would be a half-hour wait. Someone needs to get it together! read more

My husband and I went to Red Lobster on Monday 2/10/20 for their Endless Shrimp. We were amazed at the beautiful plates that were served to us. In the past when we ordered shrimp scampi, they were very small but tasty. Tonight the bowl was overfilled with very large shrimp. Excellent dish. The same with the fried shrimp, large and fried perfectly. Refills served quickly. We will definitely be going back! read more

Probably my least favorite Red Lobster experience. The waitress was rude, forgot a piece of both mine and my wife's order. Food was cold. Probably won't be coming back here anytime soon. read more

This is one of the best Red Lobsters in the Richmond area. Service is on point, they arent stingy with the handmade gourmet classy Cheddar Bay Biscuits. (You know some establishments want to ration 2 biscuits per table when its a party of four. The Devil is a liar.) and the food comes out in a timely manner. Only downside is that the restaurant is located so far away. But I recommend going here. read more

Our waitress is awesome. Food was hot drinks were cold.Brea did a great job! She was kind and kept our table movin. read more

Honestly didn't even get seated, tried to get call ahead seating sat on phone for 10 minutes gave up. When I got there was a 45 minute wait. So can't speak on the food looks to be short staffed considering the manager was working as a hostess but will try next weekend and edit review depending on the service and quality of food. read more

Red lobster overall has good food but this location did not meet the expectation. My drink was delicious and my lobster dip was great. My entree, shrimp Alfredo noodles was not tender, the sauce was thick and it was not hot along with my cold broccoli. However, the next day when I warmed my food it tasted better because I added a little water and olive oil to thin out the sauce. Pictures of food is misleading. My experience with restaurants in Richmond has been terrible except food Outback. The waitress was nice. read more

Decided to enjoy a nice meal at red lobster with my wife. We had a very nice waiter named aarin who took care of us. However our dinner has unacceptable we had ordered shrimp lobster and salmon dinner with baked potatos each , our shrimp was barely cooked and had a rubber taste, salmon was barely cooked as well as the lobster. The plate was supposed to be covered in a brown sauce, but was covered in oil to the point you could not taste the food. My baked potato was dry and undercooked as well. Our waiter got us the manager and he dismissed our concerns by arguing with us that our meal was appropiate and fine was their standards and refused to appologize. My wife and I will not be dinning with this specific red lobster several tables had problems and were verbal about there concerns right next to us. New management or retraining should be considered. read more

Okay so this is my first time at this particular location. While the Staff was pleasant and all, the biscuits here were VERY salty tasting. I don't know if they went heavy on the butter last night or what but I did not like it. The new Dragon Brocolli was surprisingly good. A unique taste but good. I'm going to just try again another day. read more

Either you're a fan of this place or not. I like Red Lobster when I'm in the mood for seafood. Of course it doesn't beat local seafood restaurants or restaurants closer to the coast but it's quick and easy when you want seafood. And don't forget the biscuits yum! read more

About 2 years ago ate here w/my now hubby and we haven't been back since. **Please don't read the following if you are eating** So we are eating, also there with my bestfriend and one of the dishes we were eating off of we noticed that it had the nastiest glob of some kind of old cheese maybe mixed with dish wash liquid and some other kind of black gook all on the bottom of the plate. Yeah and we were eating off of that same dish. Grossed out. Will never step foot in a Red Lobster ever again in life! : ) read more

I haven't eaten here in a while so decided to try it again. My mistake service is extremely slow. Waited and hour for burnt food. Not pleased. Waitress would disappear for long periods of time and we wouldn't see her on the floor at all. The place was nearly empty but service sucked. Only plus side is some of the food is good especially the biscuits. read more

Wish I could give a lower number. The waitress was awesome. But the food is not the same at all, it was awful. I have better fried fish at captain dees. The sea scallops were so small and only four on a skewer for a meal horrible.I got the meal that you chose three got salmon and two skewers of scallops for a pick three meal like I said the scallops were very small and only four on each skewered. No taste. Also you can't get a garden salad anymore only Caesar salads can you believe that. The baked potato is not the same ether it used to have a little salt on the outside but that is not the case anymore how can you mess up a baked potato but they did. I will Definitely will not be going back... read more

skip this place entirely ... puny portions that take 30 minutes to get ( you can get a steak anywhere in 20 ) , slow staff, stingy with their cheddar-bay biscuits ... AND extremely complicated payment kiosk that takes 10 minutes to do ... so ,, if you decide to go TAKE CASH and leave it on the table !!! read more

I have to say this Red Lobster has a young lady by the name of Irina who has been working the Togo orders during these crazy times who I have been so impressed by her hustle and positive attitude during these trying times for restaurants. She literally runs from car to car and from the store to the parking lot to bring orders out. She was also great handling a horrible situation totally out of her control on Mother's Day with the overload of Togo orders. She is a keeper and makes the experience at Red Lobster so much better. read more

Our waitress Amanda was awesome. The food came out nice and hot. I were very satisfied with everything.

I took my mom and daughter here for dinner. The food was great and the service was amazing. I'm very impressed. Definitely coming back

The food was mediocre. I had the lighthouse peppercorn steak with grilled shrimp. The shrimp were cooked well but not very flavorful. I would expect more from a seafood restaurant. I ordered my steak medium and it was cooked the way I ordered. However, I thought the quality of meat was not very good. I think I buy better quality at the grocery store. I will say that the service was good. The biscuits are very tasty read more

The food was etiquette but lacked passion. The waiter was well prepares and the wait time was exceptional. I forgot what i ate but it was very good and my gf favorite restaurant just happens to be red lobster. I recommend. read more

There's nothing I love more than seafood so I was glad when I found this Red Lobster location. I've heard mixed reviews here but my night there went very well. First of all I thought the prices were fairly reasonable. Anyone who goes out for seafood knows that their wallet may take a beating, especially if they order lobster but I was really impressed with their Admirals Feast. It had clam stripes, scallops, double baked shrimp, flounder, plus two sides. My plate was full of food and for once my plate actually looked as good as the picture, something that rarely happens at restaurants. The free cheddar bay biscuits we got before the meal were also delicious and I was able to get two servings of them. Overall I had a fairly good experience there and would go back if I return to that area. read more

Service sucks at the bar. Its bad when you ask for utensils and waiter tells you "its an appetizer, eat with your fingers." Once finally at a table, our waitress, Rebecca, was awesome!!! read more

Do not go to this Red Lobster with more than 4 in your party. We called ahead and all 6 of us arrived before time but had to wait because the people seated would not leave.They had finished eating and had paid their bill .Three of the six finally left after 45 minutes. I asked for the manager but she refused to move the 3 to a smaller table so our larger party could be seated. We left . I don't know the manger's name but she was working 8-21-16 at 6:00. She should be retrained as far as I am concerned. Gerald read more
