Had dinner here 7/26/23. Me and family are all sick. Since we all shared the calamari, I'm going to guess that's the issue or the shrimp, we all ordered a meal with shrimp. Not sure I will ever return here. Stomach issues suck. read more

I don't live in the area anymore but I do come up here to do a few things and when I am in the area, I try and stop through for lunch. The last two times I have had lunch here, have been great and I need to write about it. I always order the same thing as RL is one of the places that is WW friendly and so I always order the blackened salmon, baked potato and broccoli...always comes out perfect at this location, have never had any issues. Last week when I came, it was my birthday and I got my key lime pie for my birthday...love it! Both times I had Dan as my waiter and he always nails it! Appreciate very much his customer service. It's so important to acknowledge awesome wait staff, especially in all that is going on in the world! Thanks so much Dan!!! read more

No Lobster for Steve the Manager! This review highlights why Red Lobster struggles due to poor leadership. First, kudos to three outstanding staff members: * Kebra * Modeline * Ariel They turned a bad situation around despite working under a manager with poor leadership, a bad attitude, and no sense of team management. Great service starts with exceptional leadership. On 8/5/2025, we celebrated my mom's 94th birthday at Red Lobster, her choice. We arrived at 6:20 PM. Kebra, the greeter, was kind and courteous but faced a shift change. Steve, the manager, lectured her in front of us about seating arrangements instead of allowing her to seat us promptly. Managers should not reprimand staff in front of customers. After a 20-minute wait due to the shift change, Modeline and Ariel, our servers, arrived. Modeline's warm smile and Ariel's trainee enthusiasm shone as they took our drink and food orders, delivering bread and appetizers promptly. However, a 30-40-minute delay in receiving our meals soured the experience. My mom, feeling tired, decided to take her meal to-go, and the family followed suit. Kebra, Modeline, and Ariel apologized sincerely for the delay, showing genuine care. Then Steve arrived, and things went downhill. My cousin Maurice asked if we could get cake for the birthday celebration. Steve's response: "Did you bring cake?" When Maurice asked about a complimentary slice, Steve quipped, "The cake's where you left it, and we don't give cake," before breaking into a mocking song and dance. Kebra, Modeline, and Ariel apologized for his rudeness. Steve's actions were rude, disrespectful, and insulting to our 94-year-old mom. With Red Lobster facing bankruptcy, closures, declining revenue, rising costs, and leadership instability, you'd think Steve would align with the new CEO's commitment to turn things around. Clearly, he missed the memo. Steve this is to you, At best your behavior lacked the experience and maturity needed for a manager. Instead of you simply providing excellent customer service by being open to identifying the problem vs being rude and disrespectful, you could have turned a poor night into better night. You also showed a lack of support to your staff. As a Manager you role is to always provide support and resources for your team to achieve their goals. You did none of that. Your leadership was so poor that you left them there alone to manage the situation. Steve I don't believe the restaurant industry is for you. If it is the field you choose to have a career in, my suggestion is you invest in taking a course in leadership and effective communication. This review will be sent to the Red Lobster Corporate Office. Our family spent over $400 of our hard earned money and pairs out a trip to Moddiline and Ariel as they well deserved, however Steve if Red Lobster takes it's establishments services seriously, you may end up with a reprimand or as worst termination. You failed horribly at making our family feel like a valued customer. read more

Service was amazing! I cannot thank KitKat enough! She was astounding and the food was terrific! Way to go Jess and the cooks!

Years and years ago Red Lobster was the place to go for good seafood but over the last 5 or 6 years it had gone down hill. The food was either over cooked or too salty or just plain bad. I would try them every once in a while to see if it was getting better. For a while it wasn't but I ordered yesterday and I was pleasantly surprised. The shrimp fettuccine, dragon shrimp and clam chowder that I ordered yesterday was delicious. It tasted like Red Lobster food use to taste. Hopefully it wasn't a fluke, but I'm hopeful. read more

I went to red lobster because I was craving a fish and chips, the server was very good, we both ordered the fish and chips and I also ordered the clam chowder. The fish we received one piece of fish, and it was very small. The fish was fried very hard , Both me and my companions fish was the same. My serving of clam chowder was very gritty. I have ordered fish chips hear and it was very good. The fish was just over cooked . read more

So I went here today for my mom's birthday and was really disappointed!! 1.) My moms food wasn't hot 2.) My steak was suppose to be medium rare and was basically well done! 3.) Untesils were dirty! 4.) Daughters glass was dirty inside and her drink needed to be replaced! 5.) Their strawberry alcoholic lemonade taste like water! 6.) The spoon that was given in my mom birthday ice cream was dirty. 7.) For a 29.99 steak meal there was one scoop of mash potatoes and 5 pieces of broccoli! I'm not sure when reb lobster start skimming serving sizes but it's ridiculous especially for the price you pay for the food. They are makin me not want to return,is we waited really long for our food when it was barely even anyone there! read more

I placed an ordered at 8pm for 9pm pick up. At 8:45 I knew I wouldn't be able to pick up by 9, or even 9:30 when they close. I called and spoke to Nick who said if I get here past 9:30 they'll still be here and to just call. I got here 10:05 and called, then Nick brought my order out to me. Thanks Nick! Great customer service. read more

We came to have lunch today and asked not to be sat near kids. The hottest sat us right across from a little girl who screamed non-stop. We asked to be moved, and they told us there is no place to go. The begrudgingly moved us to the bar. No one told the young lady at the bar. So she ignored us until we said something. It was a horrible experience. read more

Red Lobster - Brussels sprouts and their new calamari very good, all the food was. The service was terrible. - Seafood Near Me - Pittsburg, California

It's been a couple years since I've been to Red Lobster. I heard they filed bankruptcy and not wanting to see an eatery go out of business, I decided to give it another try. I arrived shortly after noon during the week, and as with a previous visit, I stood at the reception desk for about 15 minutes with no one coming to greet or seat me. I walked out in frustration, then sent a message to the company letting them know they were losing customers, and why. In response they sent me a gift card. That was in May. It is now August and i decided to try again. The atmosphere was completely different. Someone was at the reception desk when i entered, was extremely pleasant, and immediately seated me. A server appeared shortly and she was equally warm and professional. I ordered a cocktail and food, both of which arrived quickly. There was nothing that stood out about either of them, but they tasted good and were satisfying. In spite of this, I won't be returning. There are posters in the restaurant and placards on the table advertising drinks. I was also handed a drink menu. It listed the price of wine, beer, and non-alcohol drinks. There was a long list of cocktails, but not a single price. Not on the posters, table placards, menu inserts, or the drink menu itself. When you see the price of every item available, EXCEPT cocktails, you know instantly where they're price gouging. The cocktail I ordered was $17. If there was a group of people and they ordered a couple drinks each, it would be quite a shock when the bill arrived. The California junk fee law doesn't seem to apply here. It says advertised prices have to include fees and extra charges, so they skirt the law by not posting a price at all. My other reason for not returning is I ordered an entree that comes with two sides. I wanted a simple side salad, and my jaw dropped! The same salad included as a regular side in every restaurant in the country is a "premium" side costing an extra $3 at Red Lobster. That's outrageous!! So, a restaurant chain in bankruptcy, struggling to attract customers, employs at least two customer-repelling practices. Calling a side salad a premium side, and not listing the price of their cocktails in the menu. read more

Update:: the service was awesome! They added something new to the menu. They had poke as appetizer and it was good, tasted fresh! And dragon broccoli that tasted like it had an Asian zing type of sauce!!! Loved this visit!!! Josh was very attentive!!! Been here a few before, I love that the location is in a shopping center with a movie theatre as well. There is a lot of parking spaces which makes me really happy. The service is ok, I would say it's hit or miss. This time our service was really nice and energetic with all smiles. But towards the end she stopped coming. It took awhile to get our check and forgot to bring stuff we asked for. The food of course was good but they changed the way they make the calamari...it looked more like onion rings. So I didn't take any food pics cause I just foefotMaybe next visit will be better. read more

Very bland overpriced food. We should've went with the ramen restaurant. Limp fries saturated Brussels, old breaded fish, seasonless breaded shrimp, and they changed the biscuit recipe. The one mixed drink my son ordered was pretty but tasted virgin. We haven't been here in quite awhile. My daughter took her pasta home saying "I think I can fix it up at home" The two stars are for the server. He was wonderful. Otherwise, it would be zero. read more

This was my first and last time at Red Lobster. There really isn't anything special about this place. I ordered the Lemon Basil Mahi with a side of mashed potatoes and coleslaw. The fish itself was okay but the sides were terrible. I don't think you get great value for the prices you pay. How this place is still in business is beyond my comprehension. read more

First time trying Red Lobster at this location, the area is really nice lots of places to shop and eat around here. There is a movie theater right next to the restaurant, parking seemed a bit packed on a Saturday afternoon. The place wasn't too busy we got sat in about 5 minutes. The place is clean with lots of seating, our waitress was super nice and attentive to us. Always kept the refills for bread coming. They have a 13.99 3 course special going on which is what I did. The food was good, everything was hot and fresh so no complaints. I definitely will have to try it out again since it was my first time. read more

I was very disappointed in the flavor of the biscuits. It seems like they had a blande flavor, not what I'm used to. The biscuits didn't taste fresh. They were quite smaller, too. The flavor wasn't there. The price of my food was extremely high for what I got. Stuffed mushroom appetizer and a 7oz steak, mashed potatoes, and a side of broccoli and a raspberry lemonade I could have got the same food at Apple Bees for half the price. My bill was $42.00 and some change. Not happy.:( The service was great, though The staff was very nice., I think the food is way overpriced, is all. read more

We went to the Red Lobster a few months ago and had a very poor experience. The food was good but it was more about the service. On the first occasion we arrived just before as I can see driving at night. We ordered our food and it was almost 20 minutes before our drinks came. Then another 30 minutes before our food. At this time I asked to speak to the manager where I expressed my concerns. He was very un concerning and to him it wasn't a big deal. We were told that the bartender was doubling on duties and they were a man Down. New Years Eve you could have duplicated our last visit. Same excuses but a few more people put off as well. Sorry you lost a customer. read more

I can't remember how many years it's been since i went to a Red Lobster! Great memories with my kids and family! We ordered the Ultimate Surf & Turf which was absolutely delishes! It comes with a 6 oz. filet mignon, butter-poached Maine lobster tail and bacon-wrapped sea scallops. Served with lemon and choice of two sides. I picked the fully loaded baked potatoe and green beans! The beans were cooked perfectly as well as the full meal! I also enjoyed a bahama mama, it is totally sweet and yummy! Almost like a mango smoothie! The service was great! The wait was long as they do not take reservations and they are following all Covid protocols especially social distancing! It was totally worth the wait! read more

The other day I went in with my wife and unfortunately had a really bad experience with our server Dan. Long story short our server was horrible. First off, 0/10 service. He seemed very moody and rude for some reason throughout our visit. And on top of that after we got our food he didn't even check up on us. We had to ask another server nearby dulce, for some refills. We also wished he had better Hygiene for a server, with chest hairs popping out, and what appeared to be very dirty clothes, I don't know how anyone would want to eat food served by someone like that. But besides that the food was good, just wished I had a different server. read more

If you're craving seafood, this is the best place in the area. Yes it's a chain but they update their menu frequently to add new items but keep the classics if you crave your favorite dish. They also offer seasonal specials. The restaurant is clean and spacious, they've updated the place every few years. It's always busy on the weekends but if you go a little earlier for lunch or diner, there's not a long wait. We went on a Sunday afternoon and called ahead of time to put our name on the list. We only waited about 10 minutes. Of course the meal started with the cheddar biscuits which were divine. You can buy the mix but it's never the same. We got salads to start and ordered two entrees: the mixed grill with steak, shrimp and scallops and the admiral's feast with lobster tail, snow crab legs, breaded shrimp. It was supposed to come with scampi but I just added extra breaded shrimp instead. The server was great about letting us sub some items. I didn't want rice pilaf so got an extra salad instead. He was attentive and filled my glass before asking- huge props. Would recommend if you're in the area- not new and upcoming but a classic. read more

Oh Red Lobster, what would I do without you? All of those delicious birthday and graduation celebrations that I've had here over the years will never be forgotten. This was the family spot when I was a kid! Practically any celebration that we had would land us right here in Pittsburg at this legendary Red Lobster. For a seafood restaurant chain, you honestly can't beat it. Yes, I've had fresher seafood in my day, but that doesn't make the seafood from Red Lobster any less scrumptious. Everything always tastes amazing here! Some of my all-time favorites include: The Seaside Shrimp Trio, The Dualing Lobster Tails Special, The Ultimate Feast, The Seafarer's Feast, and them CHEDDAR BAY BISCUITS, Bae! Now you know that I couldn't forget about them biscuits! They're practically the main reason why I come here! Okay... maybe not the "main" reason, but a big reason at that. Food-wise, you can't deny that the Red Lobster has got it goin' on! Don't sleep on their drinks either! Where else can you indulge in a fancy cocktail for less than $10? Yep, right here at the big red! The drinks are always on point, especially if you like them nice and sweet. The only not so consistent part of Red Lobster for me unfortunately is the service. It's definitely hit or miss. Now don't get me wrong; the staff here constantly busts their ass to get as much done as possible. But for some reason, they never seemed to be fully staffed. Their to-go ordering counter is pretty much insane. You might as well just eat in and enjoy your meal because to-go order waits are just as long as the waits for dining in. The bartenders are nice but are constantly overwhelmed, and the servers are always over-seated. Wait times can be ridiculously long, so hopefully you aren't starving at the beginning of your wait. Besides the shaky service and long wait times, this Red Lobster is pretty much top notch in my book. Maybe I'm just a little biased because I've been coming here for so long, but there will always be a soft spot in my heart the big red. read more

The food was great. I got crab and a side of fries, super good. It was my sister birthday and they gave her a free ice cream. I'm a bit upset because we did have to wait about two hours to get our food. I do think I would come again just maybe not on a Friday night. read more

We went back to RL after not being able to visit for a while, it was nice to see the menu and great food. My wife and I took my mom to dinner and everything we ordered came out super hot and fresh.

I hadn't been to Red Lobster in years. I wanted seafood and didn't want to drive out of town so, I decided to give them another chance. Besides being cold, the food was horrible. I can only compare it to those super cheap tv dinners in the frozen food section. Hospital food is horrible. Red Lobster is worse. It all had that prepackaged taste. The vegetables were overcooked. The calamari was over-breaded and greasy. Everything in the Baja shrimp bowl was cold... refrigerator cold. Finally, EVERYTHING was too salty. The only thing that didn't get thrown out were the cheddar biscuits and I can make those at home. This was absolutely my last time ever going to Red Lobster... Disgusting. read more

The food and cleanliness of the restaurant really is good. But I went in Saturday around 11:30 and they waiter name Dan made me loose my appetite. First his outfit looked filthy like he never washed it, he also had long black and grey hair the wasn't done and all over his shit, he had long chest hair coming out his shirt. When he was taking my order for drink he was scratching his beard and had his mouth open the whole time. But either that this restaurant really good and clean. read more

I don't really have any pictures to share but we come here about 2-3x per year, usually with my grandma and it's always solid food and service. We had an especially awesome staff member with amazing energy, I don't know his name as I don't think he had a badge on, but shout out to him mentally :) Our waiter was nice & attentive. I love that when I ordered double popcorn shrimp she visibly was upset on my behalf because they were out yesterday and she went to the kitchen to check if they got a shipment in and was happy for me that they did which was great as my first choice is popcorn shrimp here, always. Loved her. Gotta love the hot fresh biscuits of course. The salad is always decent, my mashed potatoes are always hot but sometimes have an almost burnt edge to part of them but they taste fine and I eat around it, like it's not the most care given so they should definitely care a little more but I am always too full to finish their large portions so I don't really care myself. Especially since I always eat at least 3 biscuits. They have a full bar. Some bartenders are fast & some, like today, are new or something and struggle a bit. Overall it is a decent red lobster, usually very clean, well managed and nice staff. No complaints from me. read more

Been ages since I've been to a Red Lobster and at this particular location, reminds me of childhood. It feels brand new and the the staff were very friendly.
