Met with friends today for lunch. I had the all you can eat salad and soup with their biscuits. I tried the clam chowder and Cesar salad for round 2 I switched it up to the lobster bisque. The biscuits were great, for me the soups were lacking flavors. I think they just showed clams and or lobster to the pot and called it clam chowder or lobster bisque. I found nothing other than broth for both. Our server was great vary attentive 3 stars from me. 5 for the server. read more

Stopped in for lunch yesterday. Our friendly server was Nate. For arriving around 12:30 on a Thursday it was relatively quiet, so comfortable. Our food was out quick and was delicious. Our meals were so filling, all three of us had to request boxes. Thanks Red Lobster for a satisfying meal. read more

Red Lobster - Ultimate Feast! - Seafood Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

We didn't get our fish. The croutons were stale. The biscuits usually the best they were hard & didn't taste the way they usually do. The price for this disaster 70.00 read more

We had a nice experience at Red Lobster. We were seated right away, which was surprising for 5pm on a Friday! The restaurant was very tidy and clean as well. They had some holiday drink options so I decided to try the Ruby Moscow Mule. It was very good, but small and pricey. We ordered the Ultimate Feast to split and it was plenty of food for two! Plus the bread rolls are always filling and so tasty!! I would recommend adding on the Brussel sprouts and the Mac and cheese, they were both so good and only a few dollars extra! Overall I would recommend going to this location! read more

We went to Red Lobster tonight only because we have $85.00 worth of gift cards that I wanted to get used up after hearing the talks of them filing bankruptcy. Things have changed at Red Lobster..... For the 2 of us we were given 3 cheddar bay biscuits, you have to now pay extra if you want more we were told. The entrees used to come with 2 sides. I ordered the 1 lb of crab legs but would have had to pay an extra $2.99 if I wanted a salad for my side, my dish came with potatoes and the sides were: baked potato, mashed potato, french fries, coleslaw or broccoli, so I chose no side but still no chance on getting extra biscuits. I heard they were going to be closing because the endless shrimp killed them. Everything tonight was just ok. so I won't be heartbroken when the closing time comes. I must say my margarita flight was super good! and it was $15.00. read more

I started taking my family there 30 years ago. Heck we ate there almost weekly. It was always good. A year or two ago, when the financial troubles started. the quality really went to shit. I ate there three days ago, sat at the bar being single, and ordered waltz shrimp and was informed, no more two sides, only one from the teenage bartender who was no more than a robot with zero personality. He brought it. shrimp was burned, and baked potato was both burned on the outside as in black, and the inside tasted like burnt smoke. I was going to complain, but since my mom got deathly sick from bad tilapia the time before I went to my car and wrote a note to myself to never go back. They got rid of every last waitress who had worked there loyally for years and replaced them all with kids in the early 20's, who honestly don't even want to be there! This place was always packed! Now there is hardly anyone in there....Glug glug glug goes the sound of a sinking ship. The admirals feast was once 26 dollars...now 48. Done! Goodbye. You should close the doors. Your restructuring is only making it worse. read more

Food 3/5 - Overall food was decent. The Crab Legs were yummy. The Salmon New Orleans had tons of oil/butter left on the bottom of plate. The Chicken Caesar Salad was ordered with double chicken and therefore lacked extra chicken in my opinion. Service / Ambiance 3/5 - It was crowded for a weeknight at 5:00pm, the wait was over an hour so we sat and ate at the bar. Service was slow. The restaurant was completely understaffed and the only bartender was overwhelmed by drink orders. read more

Andrea G was the worst waitress I've ever had, and provided the worst restaurant experience. She wasn't a rude person, but she was a horrible waitress for other reasons. We might've been waiting for over 10 minutes just for her to greet us in a restaurant that was almost empty. We asked for numerous different items and never recieved them. For example, we asked for more of the bicuits (would've been the third basket), never got them. Asked for marinara sauce, never got it. Asked for a to-go box, never got it. We even wanted to split the check, but Andrea just gave us the check unsplit without asking. When we got our seafood boils (what we ordered), they were okay. The meats were nice and juicy, but there was little to no flavor, and not as much food as you would hope for paying that price ($50). The restaurant space itself wasn't anything special, but it was still clean and sanitary. All in all, horrible service, mediocre food, and overall a really bad visit. Will not be back. read more

I have been going to this restaurant ever since it opened about 25 years ago and it has always been a good choice for a great value in seafood. It must have recently gone through a change in ownership because my most recent experience there was nothing short of a disaster! It was a radically different experience than the 25 or 30 prior experiences my family and I have had there over the past several years. The food choices were much fewer than before and the lobster tails were barely larger than jumbo shrimp or crawfish. They were about one-half to one-third the size that they used to be. I unfortunately ordered the sirloin steak and lobster combo and paid an enormously high price for this pair of my favorites that I typically always ordered in the past; however, this time the price was nearly DOUBLE what I had paid for it before and the portions were at least half or even less, SERIOUSLY! In addition, the steak was tough as shoe leather. I literally ate the lobster tail in two small bites and the steak wasn't worth eating at all so I took it home for the dog. Thankfully there were plenty of cheddar bay biscuits available and a decent sized baked potato to satisfy my hunger. I actually felt embarrassed for the new ownership as they clearly blew their attempt to reinvent it. Needless to say, one of my prior go-to restaurants near my home is no longer a choice after over 20 years of great food. It has morphed into a "hot mess" that is more focused on taking your money than providing good food at a fair price. Don't waste your time or money at this place. It's definitely turned into an expensive, lousy choice for a night out unless you want to waste your money on a terrible dining experience. read more

We asked our son where he wanted to eat before he left Minnesota and he picked Red Lobster. It was the first time we experienced this Red Lobster location and we were not disappointed. We came during the lunch hour when it's not crowded and we received excellent customer service. You can't go wrong with shrimp scampi and of course, the biscuits. We were disappointed with the high prices but this seems to be the norm nowadays. read more

will not be going back there. I went for my daughter's 16 th birthday and waited over an hour for food. the waiter didn't communicate that it will be a long wait for food nor did she stop and help us. I ended up taking the food to go. I was not satisfied read more

simply awful food. portions are tiny and quality is poor. they need to get rid if those salty terrible biscuits.

I ordered food thru their app and received it thru DoorDash . The food and service was wonderful, however I need to mention that they are having a Make a Wish promotion and nowhere in the ordering and payment I was able to participate . Perhaps it's not allowed thru delivery, but felt it maybe an option for those who find it a great cause. read more

Believe it or not, they used to have more than shrimp and lobster on their menu. no more. This is absolutely one of the worst restaurants I've been to lately. The food was overcooked and dried out. I think most any fast food restaurant would be better. read more

Went for the steak and lobster special. ALWAYS love the biscuits, although not as garlicky this time . The 3oz lobster tail was delicious. The steak however was like rubber with good flavor. read more

I'm gonna be completely honest here, I've been let down by this place twice four or five years ago so I never went back until today, I was pleasantly surprised, the food was outstanding, the service was on point. If this is a new turn around then I'll definitely be back! read more

Going to Red Lobster is a tradition with my mother. Too bad, it doesn't offer the best experience almost each time we go. We arrived here for the first time a year ago right before the state fair. Our party consisted of 2 of us. We were seated in the bar area, because my mother likes to sit in a booth. We were seated, and soon after realized there was a vent right above us, and it was very cold. We do plan for such occasions by bringing sweaters, but it was unbearable. We politely asked to move. Walking out of the bar area, it was very slippery because of how cold it was inside, and how hot it was outside, it made their tile slick. We mentioned they should put a caution sign up. After being seated in the main dining area in a booth, it was as though they had forgotten where they put us. We waited a while before we flagged someone down to order. The rest of the evening seemed to go okay. We love the Cheddar Bay Biscuits, my usually 'Shrimp Linguini Alfredo', and my mother's usual, 'Walt's Favorite Shrimp'. We paid and left. This past week my mother and I came here again because it was state fair time, and our tradition was to eat dinner at red lobster. We arrived and were seated promptly. We asked to be placed in a booth, and like the year before, it was as though they didn't mention it to the server that we were sitting in their area. After 12 minutes of waiting and both of us knowing what we wanted, our server came to the table and we ordered. We ordered 'Walt's Favorite Shrimp', and Salmon with a side of veggies. We asked for the Cheddar Bay Biscuits to be brought out right away because it was our 'cheat day' and we would like them right away. Well at least 10 minutes later we got our side salads, and biscuits. The waitress forgot to bring silverware, and when we tried to get her attention we ended up getting another waiter who assisted us. The place wasn't that busy, so it was annoying that the service was as slow as it was. We might come back here again but only because it is the red lobster closest to where we are when we plan for our state fair trip. Would we go if it wasn't the state fair season? No, 100% no. The food is good, but it is a chain so that is hard to screw up. The service would be the main reason I wouldn't go back. read more

Why did you change the shrimp linguini? The tails are now left on the shrimp in this dish. What are you thinking? Linguini is eaten with a fork. It's not finger food. So people are supposed to twirl up a bunch of linguini and shrimp, put in in their mouth, then what? Pick the tail out of their mouth with their fingers and set it aside? Gee that's classy. The quality of your food has gone down while prices have gone up. Duh, are you still wondering why you're in financial trouble? In addition to high prices with lower quality food, the employees at the restaurant near me are inept. Three orders in a row we were shorted an entire entree when using delivery services. Sadly we were celebrating with family, trying to habe a nice dinner. But that doesn't work when the order is one entree short. Then we had to wait an additional hour for the missing food to be redelivered. read more

My son turned 21 and requested Red Lobster for his birthday dinner. We were seated right away. Everyone 21 and older had a Sunset Passion Colada. My birthday son ordered the Ultimate Feast, my younger son ordered Shrimp Alfredo and my husband and I shared the Salmon New Orleans. The food was hot, delicious and cooked perfectly. I had salmon from another chain restaurant and it was tough and fishy so it was nice having a beautiful piece of fish. Our server, Kathrine was excellent. She and my son share a birthday. She brought the birthday boy an ice cream and brownie treat. I think the plate was her special touch. read more

I took my dad out to celebrate his recovery and we both had shrimp scampi lunches. They were affordable and tasty. My broccoli needed to be softer because I have dentures so they remade it.

NOT A FAMILY FRIENDLY FACILITY!!!!!!!!! My family went to their establishment tonight (2-4-22) for what was going to be dinner. My 4 year old who was tired and not had a nap and decided to show is displeasure with being expected to sit in his chair. He began throwing a fit and screaming at the table. Being considerate of the other guests I picked him up under my arm as he was kicking shoes off and getting louder and took him to the woman's restroom until he was done throwing a fit. I place him on the counter and go lean against the wall waiting for him to calm down. In the mean time here comes the manager and another employee who despite asking them to let him be REFUSE to mind their own business. After maybe 10 minutes he decides to calm down so we could return to the table. Once again I carry him to the table (remember he doesn't have shoes on because he kicked them off in his fit) and we place an order. Half way through our salad here comes a police officer. His name was Cory and a very nice guy. He informed the Red Lobster employee called the police. Hmmm interesting because when the manager came sticking her nose into my business she said it was a customer that was making a issue of me taking my screaming child into the restroom. After that experience I no longer felt safe there. Was another one of their employees going to call the police because now my 2 year old started screaming and I had to place him from a regular chair into a high chair? What about my 7 year old? He is ADHD and ODD. Is someone from your restaurant going to call the police because he has a sensory meltdown and needs to be held and calmed? This is not a place you can comfortably enjoy a meal if you have a family with small children that are not cookie cutter kids. I will never support your establishment again. I already have problems with being treated poorly by your servers when I am there with my significant other who is African American, now this? still waiting on that call!!! read more

I had come here for my grandma's birthday on this particular occasion, but have been to this location before. They have their own parking lot and is very easy to get to from the main road. The hostess sat us very quickly which was nice. Our waitress was very nice and pleasant during the dinner as well. Before I get to the actual meal, we have to talk about the biscuits. The biscuits from Red Lobster are part of the reason I even come at all! They are always perfect and taste wonderful. If you have never had one, you need to come just to say you have had the biscuits! I choose to get the shrimp your way for my entree. It is a decent amount of food and definitely filled me up. I would also recommend the Walts shrimp too. I have had the lobster and crab here before and I think that the shrimp is better and the way to go. The dessert here is also not too bad. I always get the chocolate wave cake which comes out nice and warm. It is something you will have to share after the meal for sure. Overall, not a bad meal. Decent food, great biscuits. read more

The food was cold by the time we received it. Even though we were early and told to wait for someone to come out, you know how takeout usually works... not here apparently you have to walk in, but we didn't get told that until 30 minutes of waiting. the app also indicated for us to stay in the car and call the number in the takeout spot. food and time was not worth the money spent. also the people we talked with on the phone were not nice. hung up on by a manager... read more

I love seafood. And when I crave it I can only think of Red Lobster for a variety of items. I love to dine in and take out sometimes. My servers are wonderful each time I've been to this location and the food is tasty as for what I get. I just feel like the pricing for quantity is a bit overdone. For $36+ tax I've gotten a meal I can easily eat in several bites. It wasn't necessarily only lobster I've gotten it was the shrimp, and scallops with sides. My boyfriend got the steak and that was a bit salty also. Inflation at its finest and for a quick bite it costed well over $100 as you can see in my pictures. It is very pricy nothing usually under $10... thank goodness I had a gift card otherwise as of now I would not eat here. For a rare treat maybe. Portions are smaller in my opinion for the price. Prepare to spend atleast $25 a plate at dinner. And soda being $3+ adds on. 2 of us with the "cheapest" items ended up being $90+ not including tip. read more

Excellent food, served hot! The service was outstanding! We were seated in the bar area, and it was quiet and absolutely perfect!

The food was good. The server however was not. My husband asked for the biggest live lobster he could get; which was 2 lbs. He also asked for it to be cleaned and cracked. The server brought out a 1.25 lb lobster that was literally still in its original form. My husband said on the car ride there he would get crab legs but he didn't want to get messy. So, not only did he get the completely wrong size lobster, but he also had to crack the whole thing in order to eat it. Not first world problems - but when you're spending that kind of money on something - you expect it to be perfect. The manager working was very sweet and did a wonderful job trying to fix the situation. It was just a bad experience for us, though. I wasn't going to write a review, but we just had a bad experience with our order from DoorDash last week as well. 2 strikes you're out for this couple! Just a thought - get out an old school pen and paper & write down the orders, bud! read more

For it being a holiday it wasn't very busy even though the parking lot looked like it was. We were seated right away and the waitress was very friendly. We ordered our drinks but it took awhile for the liquor to hit the table but they were delicious high buck though. Many menu items to choose from but it didn't take that long for our order to come out to us. The biscuits were heavenly. Took awhile to get a container to put the food in a to go container but the waitress was very friendly about getting the containers for us even a bag to carry it all out. The only thing that I would say that was really wrong that really got my dander was the music was to loud. I had a important phone call and I could barely hear the person on the other line. And it was important. Their was no reason why it had to be that load for a very nice restaurant. Would I go back again? Yes but I will tell them to turn the music down forsure. read more
