    Grilled Atlantic Salmon with Orzo Rice
    Dennis T.

    This was my first time here. The visit didn't start out well, because our OpenTable reservation did not get us seated until fifteen minutes after we arrived on time, and I was assured by the host that we would be seated within ten minutes. The men's restroom was somewhat messy. And the restaurant was already out of Mahi Mahi at 7:30 p.m. on a Sunday. Then things improved. Crabby Stuffed Mushrooms were hot, cheesy, and exceptional. Complimentary Cheddar Bay Biscuits were as good as ever. Diane liked her bowl of Clam Chowder. And a House Salad with Honey Mustard Dressing was a fine starter for me. My entree of Grilled Atlantic Salmon with Orzo Rice was moist and tasty. And Diane was pleased with her main of Walt's Favorite Shrimp accompanied by Mashed Potatoes. We had very good service from Marial. And seating in the cavernous dining room was comfortable. XXX-1/2 stars overall!

    This was our first time coming here, and everything was just right from the start. Our server, Paige, was the sweetest, very attentive and always on top of everything. There were also other staff members who made sure we had a great experience. Truly the best service ever! And the place was clean and has a great ambiance. We ordered two Endless Shrimp and an Endless Soup & Salad. We left so full and happy! Loved the biscuits, clam chowder, and salads, also the Scampi Garlic Shrimp was absolutely the best. We'll definitely be back next time!

    Admirals feast super bland and over priced

    Terrible food is all I have to say. It was my first time at a red lobster and my last. This was the most Bland food I could imagine and for the price tag it was just crazy. Food didn't have any flavor and there was absolutely nothing special about it. I prefer my food with flavor. The only thing that was good were the cheddar bay biscuits.

    This place is horrible... the wait was long which was expected but when we got the food it wasn't at all as described in the photo or description. Atmosphere was ok except for the crying babies in the booth behind us.. the biggest complaint was my husband got food poisoning from the food either not cooked all the way or over cooked.

    It's a Red Lobster No frills, great food. excellent service. We were sat immediately, had wonderful friendly servers who kept our glasses full, made sure the biscuits were warm, plates cleared. Great experience. Dated decor. Once this chain starts getting redesigned it's going to be unstoppable!

    Had a party of 6 and came in super hungry and ready to enjoy some cheddar bay biscuits! We were seated immediately and the whole restaurant was pretty busy for a weekday. Our server, Eileen, took care of us and she is by far one of the most delightful people I have ever met. She gave my entire party great food recommendations and was super attentive despite how busy she was, we never even had to ask for water refills! Big props to her! Foodwise, everything was very tasty and with the constant resupply of cheddar biscuits, we had a great experience. My order of the chicken parm(recommended by Eileen), was definitely a well deserved 5/5 and the appetizers came out nice, hot and crispy! All in all, the food was amazing but the true highlight of this visit was the impeccable service. If you ever visit, be sure to ask for Eileen! I'll definitely be coming back soon.

    Reception area - Sunday & it's packed

    I'm have not been to Red Lobster for years. It's know they were in decline & that a number of locations have been closed. My parents love RL & found a location that was open. The restaurant at Ontario Mills was hopping. A number of larger parties were waiting. Servers were very busy & reception was prompt. I did notice a few smaller tables open. We were a party of 3 with a 20 minute wait. Once seated and a quick glance of the menu offered many choices. Strangely I noticed a few dishes had no prices. I understand market prices but it seemed unusual. I ordered an alcoholic drink, a ruby mule. After a long wait the drink finally arrived after reminding our server. The drink was refreshing & delicious. I had the Surf & Turf. Steak ordered medium rare. Mashed potato & Brussel sprouts. The lobster was smaller but moist, sweet & delicious. The Brussel sprouts were crunchy & tasty. I do recommend them, as they are an upgrade than the usual side choices. The steak was medium. Overcooked for my taste. It was a decent size but was somewhat bland. My parent chose linguine with shrimp & shrimp/lobster. They throughly enjoyed that meals. They had Ice tea but refills were slow coming. Their famous biscuits were warm & flavorful. You need to ask if you want more during your meal. Our server was young & he tried to engage us when he was around but follow up was lacking. Decor was old school, wooden bench type booths & smaller tables. It all seems to work but hasn't been updated in years. With the number of customers in the restaurant it was not overly noisy. Our meals were satisfactory. Pretty much to my expectations for this type of establishment. The updated menu had some choices that I may try in the future. I rate my experience as a 3.5 stars.

    Stuffed flounder
    Marshay D.

    The food was just ok thought it could if had better flavor and much hotter ! However, the service was great which is the reason for the 4 star review. I ordered the stuffed flounder, which was good. Unfortunately, they will not have that anymore so I'm happy I was able to try it. The ambiance was nice and pretty clean inside! The service was phenomenal and our waiter was amazing and the manager. I may come back to this location again to try!

    Shrimp scampi, lobster baked potato, shrimp linguini, and dragon shrimp.
    Michelle A.

    Came in on Valentine's Day & the wait was 3 hours long, luckily we had a reservation & waited 30 min before being seated. The food was amazing, service was excellent & the ambiance was great. Shalyn, our server was sweet & attentive. Definitely a perfect date night spot.

    Food and family

    I went to this location on Wednesday May13th 2026 with my kids and their spouses. Service was excellent !!! Food was tasting good drinks flowing. We all had the Wednesday special steak and lobster for 29.99 minus my son and daughter they had endless shrimp. All who ate the steak and lobster fit food poisoning. Can only assume. As soon as we got home vomiting / diarrhea the whole 9. Im still recovering. I'm sorry to write a bad review but we have all been so sick since eating at this location.

    This is how yelp should let u rate a place Customer Service: 5 star (our server was Alejando B) He was very polite and super friendly we didn't have to ask for refills, He was very attentive on always asking if everything was good . Food : 5 stars Cleanliness: 5 stars Price point : 4 stars Food accuracy order : 5 stars Restrooms: N/A ( I didn't use them) Wait time to get seated : 3.5 stars ( lots of empty tables seemed they might of been short staffed that's why certain sections were empty ) Wait time to get food : 5 stars ( food was served in a good timely manner)

    I will never be eating at red lobster again. This is absolutely ridiculous. Spent between $50-$60 on such a little amount of food. This is crazy. You can go to a good crap place and get a whole bag for way less with way more food. this is absolutely unacceptable in my book in my book a tiny Claw with only 3 to 4 legs. Such a rip off, don't waste your money or time here

We were greeted and seated immediately! Service was very efficient- our waitress brought us water and took our order within 5 minutes of being seated :) Kitchen was quick too, as our "frachos" and sandwich arrived really soon after placing our order Everything was wonderful! My friend said the seasoning on the "frachos" was good, and I said it could be the gochujang sauce. We laughed at the shape of how the potatoes were cut (maybe peeled?), as it was unexpected haha. It had the perfect ratio of fries to beef to toppings (red chili peppers, red onion, cilantro)! My friend got full from half of his sandwich, as it was packed with a lot of protein! Interior is pretty, and I personally enjoyed that the lighting was dim. It was actually really quiet for being/having a bar. Though I will add that the restroom was kinda dirty, and another customer and I joked about how there was no paper towels to dry our hands LOL Overall, nice experience!

We got the tri tip with Gorgonzola butter. The meat was very tender and flavorful and the butter enhances the flavor of the meat. We got the lemon chicken. The sauce is so tasty. I did get pink in my chicken. We returned it to the person who brought out our food and notified them the chicken was still uncooked. They came back and gave us even more chicken. You get hints of lemon in the sauce and bombs of flavor from the seasoning and garlic. I like how the Caesar salad is over dressed. Some people don't like it like that. The family meal of salad was a big portion. I enjoyed it. The breadsticks are always good. Dip it in the sauce of the trip tip / chicken. So good! We also got carrot cake. The cake was delicious. Not too sweet. But when you eat it with the frosting it gets sweet. We went on a Monday evening. It was busy because I noticed there was a few big parties in line before us.so it can get loud. But the restaurant is big and you can choose your seat.
