I enjoyed my visit to this location in Pottstown. My friend was in the mood for a seafood boil in the area and red lobster came up. This is actually new to their menu(go figure), and I hope they keep it. It was absolutely delish, as well as the lobster flatbread and cheese biscuits. The service was very good. And the restaurant was clean and comfortable. I would like to go again for the seafood boil and lobster flatbread. Truly a delight. read more

Terrible. I really knew better than to try this place again after having a bad experience many many years ago, but we didn't feel like dealing with the King of Prussia traffic and holiday shoppers; it was also a Monday and things are closed so we thought what the heck... it was overpriced and terrible. I mean I could've gotten better shrimp at the grocery store and put it in the air fryer, the lobster tail was a joke and so heavily salted, which I don't know why. One tiny little ice cream scoop full of mashed potatoes for my boyfriend and a completely microwave to hell supposedly steamed broccoli for me. The pictures deceiving it was not good. read more

We went to Red Lobster in Deptford, NJ at the request of my twin granddaughters for their 19th birthday. It was expensive and a bit disappointing. My one granddaughter wanted crab cakes, but they were not in the menu. I wanted scallops but they were only an available as an $18 appetizer. The menu was rather small. We all ordered (five of us) and waited an hour for our meals. The server did not come back to ask if we wanted drink refills. When we finished there was a mistake on the bill and we had to wait for that to be resolved. Next time we will go to Cap't Cats. read more

Went here Friday for a take out lunch order. Young lady behind the bar was very friendly and helpful! Def say check them out even just for take out. They had everything in the bag including plastic cutlery and ketchup! Great job on take out and we will be back again!! read more

It had been many years since I last ate at a Red Lobster. I ordered the cheddar biscuits and coconut shrimp for takeout. The biscuits were uneven in that some of mine were not completely baked and tasted doughy. The coconut shrimp was disappointing. There was no flavor. It was like eating cardboard. I did not think it was possible to mess up coconut shrimp. This experience lines up with the recent news of the chain filling for bankruptcy protection. read more

Arrived for our reservation and was told they weren't seating any one for the rest of the night (at 6:40pm) because the kitchen was backed up. How do you not plan for a dinner rush when it is Father's Day? Staff was insincere with their apologies for the inconvenience. read more

See anything wrong with this picture?? At all, much less during COVID?!? What you don't see is the sticky table. Limited menu- fine. Covid. The waitress brings the drinks and takes the order of a 4-top that came in after the two of us. Then the fried shrimp was bland and THIIIINNNN, the hot fries undercooked and so was the replacement batch. Without an attitude, I smoosh one to show the manager what I mean and she says: I'll drop them again. I had touched them. And she just throws them back in the fryer?? And then this. How many hands have touched this? And you put it in my to go box. Never again. read more

Red Lobster - Covid anyone? - Seafood Near Me - Pottstown, Pennsylvania

Clam chowder was so thin, it was more milky juice. Maybe 1clam in it. Salad was watery, Fantail shrimp the size of a quarter and soooo salty. I decided years ago never to go back. I heard they changed things up, tried it again, yuck,!!!!! Will NEVER GO BACK. read more

Had lunch here last week, first time since COVID. While many places have raised prices and simplified their menus post COVID, Red Lobster has really done so. The menu now is just a double sided piece of paper. Prices are up, quantities are down. For example, consider this iced-tea. It was a late lunch, so we opted for the fish and chips. At $13.99 pricey considering you only get one piece of fish. It did come with two sides. We both chose the fries (yes, it counts as a side) and cole slaw. It was a generous portion of cole slaw, unfortunately it had an odd taste, so we sent it back and got rice pilaf instead. My fish was way over cooked and shredded when cut. It had no flavor. My husband's fish was a bit undercooke, but he was ok eating it. The fries looked good, but had no taste because they hadn't been salted after coming out of the fryer. The rice in the rice pilaf was way overcooked so that it was mushy. The brown bits were burnt. Neither of us ate it. The biscuits were delicious as usual. The manager agreed to comp my meal. Still $20.79 for one piece of fish and some fries and two miniature iced-teas before tip is steep. We have enjoyed many meals here over the years, but we won't be back. The food is poor and overpriced. read more

two nights ago my boyfriend ordered takeout for me (lobster tails, mussels, pasta) and they gave me spoiled lobster tails. these tails were not mildly spoiled the aroma was POTENT! I didnt think much of it while eating because I never had lobster tails before but after the sickness that followed, i definitely thought back "now the ammonia makes sense". honestly screw this red lobster location- they're unclean and are careless. this was no mistake i definitely won't be eating here again. read more

Stopped while passing through. Saturday late dinner -got seated right away. Waitress was very friendly and attentive. Wife had surf and turf which was too much for her but very good ( I had to help!). She appreciates their selection of gluten-free options. I went light and had shrimp and rice, which was delicious. Would stop back. read more

Came in around 1pm on a Wednesday. Ordered one of the $9.99 lunch classics and was pretty impressed. Food came out quickly & I would definitely return to this location. Tina B. was my server & I don't usually specify but she deserves a recognition due to her awesome service! read more

The food here was average. It is what you expect from the chain. Not sure what's going on but Red Lobsters overall seem to have fallen off a bit. The food just doesn't taste as good as it has in past years and the portions are much smaller. Although the food was mediocre, the service was good. The hostess as well as our server were both very nice. read more

This used to be one of my favorite places to eat. Hadn't been there in a while & had dinner this week. Went around 4-ish, so not crowded at all. There was no host to greet us when we came in & someone eventually wandered up. Asked for a table rather than a booth and out of all the tables in the nearly empty restaurant, we were seated right in front of the kitchen. It was really loud. Might not have mattered if it were busy, we might not have noticed the noise - loud laughing, plates breaking, etc. Our table was also being pestered by what looked like little fruit flies that I can only assume flew out of the kitchen following the food. The food was mediocre at best. Most of our entrees were over cooked to some degree. I suppose we could have sent things back, but it wasn't inedible and we didn't have the time, so we ate it. On the plus side, our waitress was very nice. I don't think I'll be trying this Red Lobster again anytime soon. Too bad, because it's conveniently close to home. read more

Way to expensive for and not enough value. I the vegetables were drenched in butter. This made the broccoli a bad choice. The shrimp scampi can floating in a pool of butter. There was no visual e sign of garlic, it herbs of any type. The waiters never refilled our drinks or requested. You have an up charge of. 1.99 for a house salad. A couple finished eating and left a mess that was not cleaned up by anyone in the restaurant. The staff I interact with was kind and we were checked in on. Seriously leaders in the establishment walked past a table with empty dishes and chips on the floor. read more

I have been going to this Red Lobster for awhile now. All good everytime. In particular....my sister and I went to celebrate our birthdays as we are twins. Our server, Cam was just wonderful, polite, attentive to our needs, ask us if all was good. I'm sure the other servers were good as well. Cudos to the chefs as the food was done as ordered and delicious ! We will definitely be going back to this Red Lobster !!!! read more

Food tasted okay service was hella slow Def wouldn't recommend had way better tasting food and service at different location read more

A few days late with the review but a little late is better than never. Came here Saturday night on a date night and just because we didn't feel like cooking lol. I haven't been to red lobster in a while and it was crab fest so I said what the heck let's go. I put my name on the wait list in hopes to be seated right away when we got there and we were, which was great. A few moments after we sat down our waiter introduced himself and took our drink order. We decided to order an appetizer and a small plate to share. We ordered the seafood and artichoke dip and the tuna small plate. The seafood dip was nothing like what it appeared to look like in the picture. It was thin, wasn't really cheesy, it was more of a soup than a dip. The tuna plate was okay, it had small flavor but nothing bold or impressive. I decided to order the crab leg plate because I love them so much. I got salad and the Chesapeake corn on the cob, and my partner got the Maine lobster bake. We both got salads with the meal. The salad was meh. Some lettuce with a few pieces of cherry tomatoes and red onion. It looked sad. We both got the Champaign vinaigrette which was the best part about the salad. My crab legs were actually cooked nicely as far as me getting them apart, I'm disappointed that they claim they don't have any type of seafood seasoning like old bay etc. The corn was cooked great I'm not sure why it was an extra charge because there is nothing spectacular about it as far as taste. I could hardly taste the seasoning that's supposed to make it stand out. The lobster bake was mediocre, she had to get another side of champagne vinaigrette to add to it so it would have more flavor. The cheddar biscuits are always good and on point so no disappointment there. Over al it was average and it was red lobster. A chain seafood restaurant. Our Waitress was good though. He did forget a thing or two but I won't hold it against him because I know he was waiting other tables and once I reminded him he went right to it. Would I go back, it depends. Lol I cook great so it depends on if I just want to spend that money to cook my own great seafood dinner or be lazy. read more

Not many options in Pottstown but I love seafood so we decided to try RL. I decided to go for it and ordered the 1.25lb whole lobster. I was concerned about how it would be served so I asked my waitress. She said you can get it " cleaned and de-shelled " with just the meat on the plate. Ok I said that's great because I can't be ripping a lobster apart with my date. Well guess what, what I was served was a whole lobster. Shell claws and legs on a plate. I asked why and she said that's how it's served. My SO prevents me from keeping it real so I gave it a try, but there wasn't anything there for $35 so I asked the server to send it back and have it served the way she explained. So 10 minutes later " after she was finished eating " it came back out cold and a small pile of lobster meat. The biggest rip off period. A JOKE. read more

This is Red Lobster. Sometimes the food is really good, sometimes it is really meh. The shrimp is usually good, tonight's endless shrimp was not up to its usual level and I stopped after only one refill of shrimp. I wanted more flavor and more substance. Even the usually fulfilling New England Clam Chowdaaahh left me unfulfilled... read more

Waited an eternity in an otherwise deserted dining area without being acknowledged by waitstaff. The server never appeared. Grabbed my coat and prepared to leave. Voiced my concern about poor service with management before exiting. As a discriminating patron, I have standards concerning what are basic rules of customer service. In the future, please don't pare waitstaff at the cost of customer experience. In this day where there are so many choices for our dining dollar, poor service and misguided management are unacceptable. read more

Ok so I've been to this location before and would say that it was just ok. But tonight my family and I went there and it was really good. By far the best Red Lobster experience. I would say the food was hot and tasted good (keep this cook/chef) and our waitress Toni was great! She was quick and polite, not overly friendly ( which I like). Great experience read more

Ordered salad that I didn't get, got it to go at that point. Green beans old and wrinkled, chewy. Shrimp scampi had hardly any butter and no garlic. Rainbow trout dry and tasteless. Second time this has happened at 2 different locations in the last 4 months. Waitress was awesome. read more

Came with my sister and had a pretty poor experience with a server "Nicolette K", not only was she aggressive towards us but to another table across. Not sure if she was "on something" but extremely odd behavior regardless. read more

The food is just fair. Vegetables tasteless. Ordering online is impossible, you try to place your order for a special that comes with a beverage, it says "you must choose a beverage", but there's no option to do that. so no online order. then tried to order over the phone, they had me on hold for almost 10 minutes, I wanted to order 4 meals, they told me they could only take an order for 2 meals at a time & would have to call back to order the other meals. I said no thanks. They lost a $50- $60 sale because they're incompetent. read more

Being from Boston, I honestly can not understand how anyone would eat frozen TV dinner fish microwaved and put on a plate ! That is what red lobster is frozen precooked packaged food to be microwaved same as Olive Garden ! read more

Have gone there for years. Recently redone inside. Need to wash windows outside! Watched spiders on elaborate webs outside windows next to booth. Lately seems that quality of food has suffered. During a recent visit when we had real issue with food & service, manager was akin to bobble-head doll while not really paying attention. It was offensive & as a result we didn't go back for extended time but upon return that offensive manager was gone. While any chain has it's limits, this does a fairly decent job but not like a really fantastic chef-owned restaurant but decent "fill an empty spot" pleasant dinner out. read more

I had an eyelash sitting on the top of my cream soup when they went to sit it in front of me in the table. I immediately said something and they took it away. I do like their coconut fried shrimp and the rolls. I also like their mixed drinks even though a little pricey. It seems more and more when I go out I first have to examine my food to make sure nothing is wrong with it. A bit disheartening... read more

Absolutely the worse bisque I have ever ingested in my body. The Lobster Bisque is horrible and after eating it, I got violently sick. The waitress acted like she was doing me a favor than welcoming me to her restaurant. Donot eat here if it was the last place on earth to eat. Acid indigestion, along with hours of vomiting. If you dont trust my word, eat thier food, you may end up in the hospital. I dont know yet , I am managing to keep saltines down . Usually you are happy after eating, well after I ate it , all this acid and bitter taste came up out of my stomach after a hour of consuming. Than I got very sick. read more

DONT EAT THE LOBSTER BISQUE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD. Wow. I can't believe it. Boyfriend ate the Lobster bisque Friday night around 8 and by 11 the next day he was VIOLENTLY ill. We had to take him to the emergency room were they confirmed it was a bacterial infection likely caused by the food. I didn't know a human could have so much diarrhea and vomit to expel. 4 IV fluid bags later and he still ends up staying the night because he developed a fever. Just wow. If you want to end up in the ER with salmonella eat here. We're never going back and it's a shame because he ADORED this place beforehand. I wish we saw the other review were the guy had mentioned that he ate the Lobster bisque and got sick. How many people have to get sick FROM THE SAME THING before the restaurant realizes something isn't right!!!!!? Now we're stuck with a nice fat hospital bill. Something isn't right there and they need to fix it... I can't imagine what food violations are going on there that would send my SO into the hospital!!!!! IF YOU'RE READING THIS RED LOBSTER THROW OUT THE LOBSTER BISQUE IT'S NO F****** GOOD. OR MAKE A NEW BATCH. OR BETTER YET DON'T MAKE IT AT ALL!!!!! SOMETHING ISN'T RIGHT!!!!! read more

FOOD POISONING!!! 1st review I have ever wrote because everyone should be warned. First time went here Friday night. I don't eat seafood but went for the biscuits because my sister's boyfriend raved about it so much and was I excited to go and eat biscuits. We went and our waitress was very nice (every one was super nice when we walked in) but it is definitely overpriced food. Biscuits were very good but left the restaurant with a $70 bill for two people who didn't even get seafood (that was very expensive compared to Texas Roadhouse or Chili's, this was like a Cheesecake Factory priced meal. I was so shocked, didn't know it would be that expensive). My sister's boyfriend who worshipped the restaurant as I said earlier, went to the hospital after eating here the next morning after. It WAS from here, hospital confirmed that saying that he had a bacterial infection from food (he only had the food from here in his stomach). THAT IN OTHER WORDS MEANS FOOD POISONING!!! He is currently staying overnight at the hospital. It made him very ill and I have had food poisoning in the past (worst sickness I've ever experience, don't wish it on anyone), but his was very bad case. I wasn't ever hospitalized for mine, he was. That's how bad it is. He didn't eat anything different else besides Red Lobster that day, we went at around 9 pm. He started feeling sick that night which happens as soon as you eat contaminated food. Disgusting, don't eat the lobster bisque!! I will never ever be back! I feel really bad for him because this was his favorite place around and he was excited to go here and show me and my boyfriend how awesome they were... Very sad. I hope they see this review and do something, other wise more people will get sick. ....I recently also saw another review were someone got very sick 27 days ago from eating the same thing LOBSTER BISQUE....so it's just not him... read more

Yes, it's true, Millenials are killing chain restaurants. Normally a chain restaurant would get 3 stars from me, but my visit fell below average. Every bit of seafood I ordered was over cooked and lukewarm. The rice pilaf that was supposed to be under my grilled shrimp, non-existent. I literally wasn't going to make a big deal out of the rice, but my husband insisted. When the manager came over to "make it right," she explained that the rice is a garnish. That's total garbage. There is usually a 1/4 to 1/2 cup under my shrimp literally anywhere else, making it more substantial as a meal. I was given an expired coupon for a free app or dessert, but why would I come back. I'm not going to pay that price for small portions of underwhelming food. read more

Just tried the "To Go" service for the first time. It was great! We got the Endless Shrimp and received plenty of the shrimp we ordered. We could not eat it all during one sitting. I probably have enough leftovers for two more meals. The lady who got her food together, Tanya, was very thorough as she checked our order over before letting us leave. It was packed well and I appreciate her taking the time to review it before we left. There's nothing worse than getting home to find something was missing. I recommend and will do this again. read more

I was there today...food was good however it is now FALL/AUTUMN!! I would like to say to the management please pay attention to the weather!! It was very uncomfortable trying to enjoy a meal while sitting in a cold dining room with the A/C blasting cold air!!! TURN THE HEAT UP!!! I started to walk out....so please make sure your restaurant is comfortable for your diners. My wife ordered a hot tea and the server doesn't bring a spoon and when we asked for one she brings a big soup spoon...please train your people it's not rocket science. read more

Single worst Red Lobster I've ever been too. We arrive and tell them there are two of us. It becomes immediately apparent to me that the pager they handed me does not work as they come into the lobby yelling your name when a table is easy as opposed to sending the page. I went to the rest room to find one of the chefs leaned against the only counter where you can wash your hands texting. We arrive at our table and place our order which they tell me they are out of crab legs, which ruins my entire dinner. It is over an hour before we receive our appetizer. The cheddar biscuits arrive AFTER our appetizer. After two hours of waiting we decided to just take our food in go boxes. My dog ate all the food as over $100 in food was no good by the time we arrived home. They got two stars because the waitress was trying really hard. read more
