My family visited this Red Lobster for a birthday lunch this past Saturday. When we arrived around 11:30 there was no wait and plenty of available tables. Since we were waiting for someone we waited at the entrance for a few minutes. The hostess was very friendly. She fished out a lobster from the tank so my daughters could touch it. As soon as we were all there we were seated at a large booth. We placed drink orders and appetizers right away. We ordered the coconut shrimp and the mussels. The mussels were very good, they had a garlic sauce that was amazing. They also came with slices of toasted garlic bread (great for soaking up the sauce). We were all very happy with that dish. The entrees were all pretty good. Nothing too spectacular, but it's Red Lobster. My husband ordered an entree that had lobster, sausage, corn, and potatoes. It looked pretty good. He commented that the potatoes weren't very good. I had a typical fried seafood combo. My daughter had the kids crab legs meal. It is one cluster of snow crab legs, which is a pretty good portion for a kid. They were really hard to crack though and some of the pieces of crab were really dry. Our server wasn't very attentive. He didn't come check on us after our meals were brought out so we were trading sauces around the table. He saw us passing them and then asked if we needed anything. Um, obviously. I also had to fetch utensils from another table, always fun to get seated without silverware. And then my least favorite part of the meal, waiting for the check. I so much prefer it when the server brings the check when you're almost done eating. I hate it when everyone is finished and then you are stuck at a table full of dirty dishes trying to flag someone down so you can pay. Honestly, I still had a pretty enjoyable time. Red Lobster cheese biscuits are one of the best foods ever, and our server did keep them replenished. A full basket of cheese biscuits can save even the most miserable of dining experiences. read more

Red Lobster - Trout. - Seafood Near Me - Orlando, Florida

This is a chain restaurant I used to avoid like a plague! I only came because I had received gift cards. I'm happy I gave this chain restaurant a chance. The decor was intimate and inviting. The hospitality and friendliness of our dining room assistant was pleasing. Ariel really loves what he does and it shows in his interaction with guests. As we dined we could not help but notice how he was friendly with everyone around us.. Even children. Service was immediate and friendly. I was on vacation so unfortunately I will not be able to revisit this location. I hope when I return home I'm able to get this kind of service I received at this location. Good customer service can make a beef hotdog feel like a full course lobster dinner. Thank you Ariel! read more

Well, before I left for our Florida vacation, one of my customers mentioned when I go to find seafood on our vacation, don't be surprised to find yourself back at Red Lobster for the best value, flavor and service. He was absolutely right! I refuse to name names of competitors when posting this type of review only because they will get their own review in time. Red Lobster DID NOT DISAPPOINT!!@@!! Our server Gabriel was terrific. Despite other reviewers stating names of their favorite servers, it just goes to show Red Lobster knows how to please customers, regardless of who you get. Food was top notch as usual. I just cant say enough about dependability when it comes to this organization. From Boise to Charleston, SC, to Florida, I'm just glad I can always depend on this reliable seafood restaurant. read more

This review is location specific.........ONLY for this particular Red Lobster...the ONLY one we go to.

I had a birthday feast at this Red Lobster with my uncle. We both ordered a lot of food. He had a seafood platter customized and I had seared Mahi Mahi with shrimp, mashed potatoes and scallops. Absolutely loved everything. So delicious! Had red wine as well and went great with my meal. Would love to go back there again. Mahi Mahi was unbelievably good! read more

Red lobster, the Denny's of seafood. What's more to say? Food was better than expected. Server complete moron.

We ate here for dinner this evening. While I realize that it is a franchise restaurant, at least I know what I can expect and can count on for food taste and quality. The food was hot, the rolls were soft, straight from the oven and the waitress was friendly and attentive. read more

Came here in a large group for dinner, and was given our own room in the back, with two servers to manage our gang. I hadn't eaten at a Red Lobster in easily over a decade but remembered something about cheese biscuits. Cheese biscuits: good. Blackened tilapia: great - i got the larger portion, and it came with broccoli (ok) and i chose rice pilaf (good). http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/JjfB5tGtDnmOAokBHf4FjA?select=FLK1BSxG5WtIOwOAyaXJyw#FLK1BSxG5WtIOwOAyaXJyw Dinner salad: good Breaded mozzarella: ok (good when you're hungry) Dessert Sampler Trio: great - key lime and chocolate lava are the winners here. They do have a special allergen menu for those with shellfish or other allergies, though one of our party found that the first special menu was missing a few key pages, and so we had to go get it swapped out for another copy. Our service was good, and they did start us all off on separate checks. while service wasn't super speedy, we weren't in a rush since we all just wanted to hang out together. the room was a little cramped, but nice to have our own place where we could laugh a little too loud. read more

Wow, I just had the best experience. I was not even in the mood for Red Lobster but after having this experience, I have no regrets. Charlotte my server at this location literally was so good, I will comeback whenever I'm in this area just to see if she is there. She was so polite, listened to our wants, AND even helped with the decision we made for our entree. It is so rare to find this type of polite and great service these days. Thank you Charlotte for an amazing experience. read more

I'm giving this location 5 stars because of how wonderful our waitress was. We came in 30 minutes to closing and we were just hungry but it was also my nieces 5th birthday so we wanted a nice meal to celebrate a long day at Disney. She was so nice to the kids and very helpful when we were ordering. I asked if we could do something small as a surprise and sing happy birthday to her and she said yes. She didn't have the whip cream needed for the ice cream so she went ABOVE AND BEYOND! Not only did she bring her ice cream she also brought her brother ice cream as well. Since they were out of whip cream she topped it off with all the fixings they would normally use at the bar. They loved it! Strawberries, blackberries, orange and pineapple slices and a cherry on top! As we were walking back to our car my nephew realized that he left his mickey ears. I went back to the door but it was closed of course since they were closed but instead of the other staff member telling me they were closed she came to the door and I was able to tell her what happened. She let me in to get the ears and I was so glad since we were leaving to fly back home in the am. I'm so glad they had a staff that truly cared about our dining experience. We always stay at the hotel within walking distance from this establishment so I will be back. read more

Susan did a wonderful job.. .....excellent customer service and hospitality......!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Loved it! It was a hassle at first because after a 30 minute wait, I brought the buzzer to be seated and hey forgot to seat my party after cleaning the table. They fixed it quickly after I gripes about parties that came after mine got sat before mine. Once seated, the service was great. Our waiter, Kacie, was very enthusiastic and well-composed, despite the fact the place was slammed. She was very patient and knowledgable and our appetizers, drinks and entrees came in a timely fashion. The meals were well-portioned and filled us up good. read more

I will begin my speech by saying that we were at your place today - we are not tourists - we live in Miami !!!! We were the first time in your institution! 1. We asked the waiter when ordering - 2 ice water, 1 without ice !! He brings all 3 water with ice !!! To this we ask him to bring water WITHOUT ICE! To which your waiter replies - it will still be cold! What is it like ????? I have to explain to the waiter why my mom needs no ice !!! The waiter is not friendly, maybe he had a hard day! Or he is not in the mood. But it does not give him the right to be non-service. 2. We ordered 3 alcoholic drinks when they brought them to us - one of them was impossible to drink, there was one alcohol - as if you were drinking one vodka. When he was asked to replace this disgusting bloat, the waiter was slightly unhappy. 3. After we finished eating the snack, there were 2 plates of Caesar salad on the table - we wanted to continue to eat them further. On what the reshml of them takes away - without asking whether we finished or not. Putting one plate in another - after that we said that we would continue to eat. It was outraged that he did not ask, you can take it, but most of all, he didn't even apologize. The result of my review - no matter who I am! tourist or local - the service should be the same for everyone !!! read more

Red Lobster - Seafood Near Me - Orlando, Florida

We were in town for an event and picked this location because it was in walking distance from the hotel. Plus, they were not busy at all. I already know Red Lobster is the Denny's of seafood restaurants but figured we'd give it a try. Had a party of 8, all of whom are good tippers... We started the experience with a server who took drinks, app & entree orders. He asked if checks were separate, which they were. This would be the last time we seen this guy. Someone else brought the food out and took drink refill requests. The refills never came. I ordered the surf & turf, The one with a 10oz NY Strip and Maine Lobster Tail. My entree arrived missing the lobster tail... I told the server who brought the food and she said it would be right out. I found it odd that the tail would not arrive with the entrée as a complete dish. I went ahead and started my meal. About five minutes later she came back to say it was still cooking.... A lobster tail does not take that long to cook... it finally arrived when my meal was complete. I told the person that brought it how nice it would've been to have it when I had my dinner but now I was done and no longer interested. They did take it back and remove it off the bill. I guess the server sent the manager over but the manager didn't really seem to care much about the situation. We decided to ask for our checks so we could leave, since everyone was finished with dinner. The manager came back with the check. Not separated, as requested in the beginning. And the first server literally asked if we wanted to separate checks. So we hung out for about 10 minutes more waiting for them to separate the checks and bill us so that we could leave. Imagine going to a seafood place and not getting the seafood with your order... they literally left off the lobster at a place called red LOBSTER! I knew there was a reason that I hadn't returned in the last 20 years. And I will never be going back to ANY red lobster. read more

I'm from Massachusetts. There are no Red Lobster Restaurants here that I'm aware of. I visited Orlando last week. It was my first time dining at Red Lobster. I was so impressed with the food that I went back three times for lunch. read more

This place is amazing, great food and most important Great service and servers. The place is great. I enjoyed it. The dream Lobster dish is my favorite from now on :) Thanks read more

Started the meal with with some raw oysters; which was pleasantly surprising to see because mostly red lobsters I've been too don't have them. I also had the new Caribbean Long Island ice tea, which was not all that the first two sips were strong but with the amount of ice they put in the drink it got watered down quick. After I had a salad with ranch dressing which was mediocre at best, and the best part of any red lobster the cheddar biscuits! For the main course I ordered the ultimate feast which came with a half of crab, a lobster tail, fried shrimp, shrimp scampi, broccoli, and rice. The crab was very juicy loved it. But everything else was mediocre; nothing to write home about. The service was very good the waiter was very attentive and helpful. All in all an average red lobster experience with an above average waiter. read more

Horrible, ordered the signature lobster linguine, it was so salty and the sauce was totally not right, well definitely not order from here again.

What's there to say: it's a chain restaurant. Some have steaks, some have salads. This one has fish. Broiled, poached, battered & fried. Fishy, fishy, fish. And they don't do a terribly bad job of it. Can't recommend their alcoholic beverages, though; pretty weak. But the sad fact of the matter is this: Red Lobster is your best culinary option within walking distance of Orlando's Orange County Convention Center. Hope you have a car... read more

Well this time I went to Red Lobster everything tatse good, especially the cheese biscuit fresh of the oven. Was somewhat disappointed with the the brownie dessert very dry and small. Other then that its was a good experience this time around. read more

Arrived here at around 5:00pm on a Sunday. Nice modern restaurant. Waiter Johnny was nice and accommodating. I was unexpectedly greeted by the manager after waiting for our meals. He was apologizing for my order of oysters, informing of the delay. Moments later our food arrived but not all entrees at the same time. Two other dishes came 5-10 mins later. We waited awhile for the waiter to give our tab. My tab was discounted on oysters. That was a nice gesture. The delays I assumed because of staff shortage. Food was good! read more

We were in town for a summit and decided to stop by Red Lobsters one night for dinner. Granted that this is considered a chain restaurant, the food options and quality was excellent. Our waitress was awesome, very friendly and funny. In fact, the three waitresses that kept coming by were great, so their service deserves five stars. Red Lobsters cheese biscuits are to die for, probably the best appetizer bread out there. I ended up getting the lobster mushrooms for an appetizer, which were very good. For dinner, I had the blue cheese filet with garlic mashed potatoes. When I first recieved it, I was like "this is it?" but don't be fooled, it was delicious and filling. The only drawback was that the food service was very slow from the kitchen; we probably waited a good 30-40 minutes before we got our dinners. read more

Lobster & Shrimp Paradise. Artistic? Yes. Edible? No. How to ruin lobster: take a reasonably nice sized Maine lobster tail, cut it in half, then bread the tail and deep fry it, still attached to the shell. The breading must have had around 50% salt, even after peeling all the coating off, the lobster was still pure salt. The skewer of shrimp was well done and edible. Funny how the thing I crave at Red Lobster is the biscuits, not the seafood. read more

With extra tasty, cheesy, bread type biscuits to start your night off i think Red Lobster hits the mark. Lets be honest, its not a 5 star restaurant, but as far as chains go, its pretty damn good. Lobster bisque was good, not much lobster, but the bisque was good. I had one of the new items on the massive menu, New Orleans salmon and shrimp, basically anything New Orleans will be blackened/Cajun style and this salmon was, cooked perfectly and toped with grilled shrimp and a little cuban type salsa served with you choice of sides. Shrimp features prominently throughout the menu, and from what i saw everyone seemed satisfied. Prices were reasonable and service ( I was at the bar as it was a 45 minute wait for a table, on a Wednesday no less) was ok. read more

AAAAAMAAAZING!!! My first time at Red Lobster was definitely a success. The shrimps, the mussles, the crabs, the clams were delicious!!! I had it with linguine which I barely touched because I was too interested in all the seafood. Their clam chowder is also great and has a lot of flavor. alcoholic drinks are delicious but obviously lack alcohol. Definitely would come back again. Oh and the waiter was super nice and attentive. read more

Have been to Red Lobster for about 25 years or more, each year on a Florida vacation, great service, love the food.

Paul B. is right. Red Lobster is the best place for food within walking distance of Orlando's Orange County Convention Center. However, I give Red Lobster 4 stars for being better than Chili's. It's not as good as Outback Steakhouse, but I've been pleasantly surprised each time I've eaten at Red Lobster. The service is friendly and excellent. Those biscuits are very tasty. I ordered grilled shrimp on skewers and the shrimp were a good size (no skimping) on a reasonably savory bed of rice. I also had a fried fish sandwich another day of a convention and thought it was quite good. Will it be the most thrilling meal of your life? No. Will it be somewhat fatty and bad for you? Yes. Will it be awful? No. It could be much much worse (just think of Javitts which seems to be located on a desert of concrete without any food nearby but the overpriced convention stuff). Your only options, otherwise, are McDonald's and Denny's. read more

Mannn...I'm usually happy to go to Red Lobster (I mean...cheddar biscuits), but I was super let down by this location. The biscuits were over cooked and dry, they were out of salmon (didn't help that literally half of our party wanted salmon), and the service was soooo slow. Now I'm not ready to swear off Red Lobster because I really do love their salmon, but maybe just find a different location for your biscuit fix. read more

Lunch time! So the first day of a long week away from my Chicago... Don't take me wrong, i was actually expecting less... I guess Red Lobster is a hit or miss but they totally hit it with me! I have a condition named TMD better known as TMJ and it is painful for me to chew my food since my jaw joint starts to bother me. Having that said, i need all the help i can get as far as info from waitresses on the food they serve and the way its cooked... I could not ask for a more helpful waitress, she was amazing, she made sure that the shrimp tacos were served in a steamed tortilla instead of heated on the stove top and my shrimp was nice and tender, very well cooked. I was surprised since it is very easy to overcook shrimp and make it rubbery, well they did not over cooked it. A very long time ago I stopped going to RL in general due to a few bad experiences but this location rocked! read more

We went in for lunch before our flight home. Seriously there weren't 4 tables busy that day so I'm going to say that those who work the lunch shift were totally off their game. You need to have set ups with napkins and silverware in order to eat most meals, yes even the ones we ordered! It would have been good to have had them before the meal was served. Sigh. It's a national chain and not looking for goumet, just a solid meal. Thanks. read more

Called the local restaurant to inquire about gluten free items, since I have an allergy. Asked to speak directly a manager. When he answered, he introduced himself as zack. I asked him about his fish and chips that is on the menue and he hung up on me. Called back, asked him again who he was and he said the general manager. Continued to give an attitude. Not a place I would ever go! read more

Ate here July 24th. Ordered steak and lobster tail. Lobster was over cooked and tasted like rubber. The steak, was fabulous! Who would have guessed a seafood place messes up the seafood but nailed the steak. Also had calamari (not good) stuffed mushrooms were great. Had to beg for cheese biscuits while waiting for appetizers to arrive. Hilarious that our server could not recommend any item as she hates fish and is allergic to it..lol read more
