Okay, so I went hear after all the hype. With their new CEO doing media rounds & hearing about the great new menu, happy hour and seafood boil. I was all in. Red lobster on Blanding still looks the same. Low lighting, old school carpet, lobster tank in front, bar to the side and the large wooded booths. I did notice they were quite busy with a lot of patrons. The menu has changed a lot. Even the order is different. All of the old things I remembered were gone. The menu items do look appealing but for me Red Lobster is an American Staple like MCD. I expect the same food with a little seasonal variation or sampling. The waiter was helpful enough to help me build my meal with my favorites. I was satisfied with that. read more

Jermaine was wonderful-- very accommodating and didn't press or rush when we were hesitating when choosing what to order (he even offered suggestions and different replacements). Very kind and very courteous. If I ever went back, it'd only be because of his service. read more

Red Lobster still does the Cheddar Bay biscuits right. The margarita flight is a fun addition to the menu. Food is ok. Service was good. My kids love the crab legs. Solid stop if you're wanting something simple and reliable like a chain restaurant. read more

Good afternoon all. My Wife wanted to go to Red Lobster for a lobster and was let down. Once upon a time Red Lobster was a good restaurant to eat. Waitress was polite, drinks were good, food was good and staff was on point. But now, all of that is gone! Red Lobster has fallen so far to the sideline. After this run I will never return nor will I refer anyone. At this point if I had to pick a free meal from Red Lobster or a bottle of water from Buger King, I'm going for the water. read more

The food a Red Lobster is really good, however they have taken some of my favorites off the menu. I think my server forgot l was there. I spent most of my meal looking for her for tartar sauce. I'm so glad they have a kind floating manager that was happy to serve. The atmosphere was chill. read more

Can't get much worse! Came for our granddaughter 18th bday with 8 people. The "reservation" on the app was great! The waitress started off great and by 2 hrs in we were by the last 1/2 hour and trying to get our VA discount was over it all! This particular Red Lobster took off $2 on a $280 bill. My husband asked about our son in law... acting so shocked about it and having to prove they were. We got the manager involved where both veterans were a bit exasperated by this ordeal. Most restaurants that give veterans discount take off 10-20% of entire bill. It's a thank you to veterans and their families for sacrifice. It's better in our eyes to not even give one if your going to nickel and dime. .33 off asparagus, .10 off drink etc... We won't be giving another try! read more

Starting off wit da food, I got the endless shrimp with fries, it also came with endless biscuits which were GAS. The shrimp was mediocre except for the coconut shrimp ts was so bad it ruined my high. fries were def frozen but the seasoning was ight. They were just playing Ed Sheeran and Taylor swift so if you a dad needing a good drunk cry dis da place to go. service was great ngl Mike was locked in and made sure I had everything I needed. 4/10 spot. read more

Fantastic experience at the Red Lobster in Orange Park! The food was delicious--fresh, perfectly cooked, and full of flavor--and of course the Cheddar Bay Biscuits did not disappoint. The restaurant was clean, welcoming, and had a great atmosphere. What really stood out was the excellent leadership from the manager, Keisha Allen. She was friendly, professional, and clearly cares about both the guests and her team. You can tell she runs a great operation, and it truly enhanced our dining experience. We'll definitely be back! read more

My Bill for 2 of the smallest lobster tails I have ever seen cane to over $44. Plus sweet tea, cup of clam chowder and a $1 extra charge for a baked potato. My Bill was over $70 including tip. Manager came and said the tails were 4 to 6 oz . No way. No offer to rectify situation. He could have cared less. I travelled over a half hour from the Beaches to the only Red Lobster still operating near Jacksonville.. Never again. What a disappointment. read more

Enjoyed the grilled salmon, mashed potatoes and coleslaw for main entree. The coconut shrimps are my favorite appetizer and love the garlic biscuits. No wait time during the week for dinner and Liz provided great service. The clam chowder is always a good choice like the atmosphere and watching sports read more

Food was HORRIBLE i was waiting for the waiter to come get our drink order for 30 minuets and then it took 20 to get them it took like almost an hour to get appetizers she took my order wit drinks appetizers and meals at the same time not to mention that they were barely people at the time the food took over an hour and was bad there was a horrible smell the whole time. do not come here! read more

Our group went and Kalani was an amazing server. Our food was great and we were treated great by everyone. Restaurant was very clean. Had to get light jacket because air conditioning works very well. Will definitely be back. read more

The service was great, and the food was excellent. Our waitress was there refilling our drinks and checking on us to make sure if we needed anything. We came after the lunch rush and were seated as soon as we came in. The salmon was flaky and seasoned just right. We will return again soon. read more

The food and service are great! We loved the lobster/shrimp & crab daily specials! The restaurant itself needs an inside makeover, but we drove 25 minutes out of the way because the other two Red Lobsters in Jacksonville are closed. Kendall is a great server btw. read more

Absolutely amazing meal. Folks, this is the last red lobster restaurant open in the Jacksonville area. Located on Blanding Boulevard a few miles south of 295 in Orange Park. Very close to the Orange Park Mall. Cheddar Bay Biscuits were hot and amazing as usual! Easton provided very courteous service! We enjoyed the Seafood, stuffed mushrooms and all our meals were delicious as we have come to expect with the Red Lobster name! Crispy Brussel spouts is a must upgraded side! read more

We made reservations just in case but it wasn't busy. Our family of 4 was seated quickly and our drink orders taken. We like Red Lobster yes it is a chain restaurant but they have something every one in my family likes and of course we all agree the cheddar bay biscuits are the best and worth the carbs and calories! The restaurant is cozy and dimly lit and has a well stocked bar so it's a good place for a date too. Our waiter Easton took very good care of us and our food was well prepared. We go several times a year. read more

Seafood boil was over cooked the lobster was like rubber and they forgot to get me the crab cluster, the shrimp was fair, no seasoning, the corn was sticky and the potatoes texture was off, I order cheddar biscuits, was hard and dried and Alfredo pasta it was over cooked and mushy. $59.34 it took me 45 minutes to get there to be disappointed. I order online read more

Stopped in today for a late lunch. Our server Jennifer M. was fantastic. She greeted us promptly with those delicious Red Lobster biscuits. She grabbed ys our drinks and took our food orders. You can tell she's very experienced because she didn't skip a beat. The manager also stopped by our table to check on us very professional. The food as always was delicious! We both had the salmon bowl and it was yummy. We sat at a booth in the bar area and it was cozy and comfortable. Today at our local Red Lobster was a 10 out of 10. I need to know Ms. Jennifer's schedule, she provided outstanding service. read more

Red Lobster - Orange Park, FL Rating: (2 out of 5) Reviewed by: The Travel Tribe What We Ordered: * Shrimp Trio * Ultimate Feast * Crabfest Bag (new menu item) * Cheddar Bay Biscuits * Dr. Dre & Snoop Haze cocktail * Bahama Mama cocktail What Went Wrong: This visit was a textbook example of how a once-great brand loses its reputation. * Waited nearly 50 minutes for food * Three tables seated after us were served first * Our drink orders were forgotten -- multiple times * Server only started checking in after the food arrived * The new Crab Bag was tasteless and unseasoned * Shrimp was lukewarm, underwhelming, and overpriced * Only the biscuits and cocktails were worth finishing We didn't feel like guests -- we felt like an afterthought. What Was Good: The Dr. Dre & Snoop Haze and Bahama Mama were excellent drinks. Strong, flavorful, and honestly the only thing worth coming back for. If you're just here for cocktails, maybe you'll leave happy. Final Verdict: 2 out of 5 stars -- and that's being generous. This location is a perfect example of why Red Lobster has fallen off. Bad service, bad food, and bad management. The brand doesn't feel fresh, friendly, or even functional anymore. The Red Lobster brand needs to die and be reborn into something that actually respects seafood lovers. read more

First, Congratulations to Alice who has now been promoted to manager!! She so deserves it and is a testament to the great quality of customer service she provides. My opinion of this location was rather poor for a number of years and has come a long improving that over the last 2 years. I'd say that's due to new employees like Alice and Elliot. My review about 15 months ago when we first met Alice was 5 star and that hasn't changed. This review is from dinner my wife and I had Friday 9/15. While the decor is about the same at every Red Lobster I've been to the food varies. My last review at this location was great as was the food and service and glad to say this review will be the same. We met Elliot who was our server and he did an awesome job! Knew the menu, was very helpful and super polite even though we had to have him come back three times because we couldn't make up our minds what we wanted to eat We started with stuffed mushrooms , lobster dip w/chips and calamari as appetizers. Yea I like to eat..a lot! The shooms and Lobster dip were good but the star was calamari which got kicked up a few notches over the last year. While it was just OK in the past it was wow this time! Nice and crispy with a great seasoning and delivered with dipping sauces. Devour time My wife had the scallop skewers with broccoli and I had the crispy flounder sandwich with broccoli both of which I neglected to get a picture of... My wife did try the scallops and said they were great and since we were both a bit full after three appetizers and biscuits we packed up the rest to go. So all that being said my only afterthought is the flounder sandwich was rubbery the next day warmed up in the microwave. If you order that I recommend nit ordering a lot of belly-bustibg apps and eat that when served hot. read more

Elliot was an outstanding waiter. He quickly helped us with our order, understanding our complicated desires and making suggestions. The food was delicious. We got the Sailors platter and Bairdi crab legs. We ordered a lobster tail and lobster flatbread to go. Unfortunately we found the rest rooms to need immediate cleaning. The ceiling vents in the dining room were filthy and need to be vacuumed. It looks like some of that filth could fall into your food. These dirty vents are indicative of a failure to pay attention to detail. It makes one wonder what the kitchen looks like. I don't think we will return. read more

Signature dish- Maine lobster , salmon, shrimp and 2 sides. The sides were great, however the seafood was so over cooked it ruined it for me. I sent it back but it still came out overcooked again. The Maine lobster was a shriveled up split tail So disappointed read more

Service was very slow even though there were only 4 other groups of people in the entire restaurant. Everything is very expensive for small portions. The pasta was hard on the outside and not worth $10 let alone the $33 I paid. Very unhappy with my experience, do not go here. read more

Upon landing back in my childhood home of Orange Park Florida we bolted right to where we used to go after church and for birthdays - none other than Red Lobster - that our family used to endearing call 'Red Moster' because the animal on the sign looked massive to my 6 year old self! The food was identical and every thing made so very well - thank you for that - I have the best Steak and Lobster dish - both were perfect in balanced portion and so very tender - I recoomend this 100% The best atmosphere too - very quiet and very clean - also thank you for keeping the tank of living lobsters in your lobby as I used to look at them and actually tried to take one out of its tank when I was 10 so thank you for still having the tank higher up so children like me won't do this. Saving the best for last was the amazingly fun energy server Easton - he made this extra special with the way he described each dish and with a fun best friend like ease! The cheddar bay Buscuits are ledgendary and while We took a long time to decide upon our desert which we landed on the cheesecake - so very well done thank you kitchen staff for making this meal as memorable as our time in my childhood city! We are going to call ahead next time to sit in your section Well done Easton, Well Done indeed! Love and Red Monsters! read more

My wife and I had dinner tonight and I want to say that Easton and I hope I'm spelling his name correctly but he was our server and was outstanding and took care of us with a very high level of service and wanted to say thank you again. He deserves a raise ! read more

My husband and I have been married 35 years. On our 11th anniversary, we went to the Red Lobster on Atlantic . His stake was frozen in the center and my shrimp jambalaya was undercooked and tasted like Elmer glue, we waited 30+ mins for a waitress to take our drinks order. Well, today was my birthday and my husband wanted to give Red Lobster a second chance. I really didn't want to but I did anyways ‍‍‍. Guys!!! I had the best experience EVER!!!

Red Lobster - Seafood Near Me - Orange Park, Florida

Bad food and bad service. Was told by our waitress that three quarters of the seafood arrives frozen.

The seafood taste like something you could buy from the frozen food section in a grocery store.

My 2nd visit to Red Lobster in 2 days. This was a different location in Orange Park Florida. We had a private on because it was a group of 15 of us. We had great service. It was a celebration for birthdays. The shared appetizers was very good. I was already full from another event so I a side salad and appetizers. What I really loved was unlike other restaurants we did not have to wait for the rest of our party to be seated. Drinks were very good. The restrooms were clean and there was parking available all around the building. read more
