Cheese and Crackers, my son has been begging me to go to Red Lobster for month due to the viral TikTok video on the Seafood Boils. This even we went and had the best time at Ted Lobster! The food was absolutely amazing!! The customer service was even better. From the time we walked in, to the time we left - it was fantastic. Noah was our server and he made our experience very special. Latty come over and check on us as well. She made wonderful conversation. Definitely made us feel special and welcome. Great job!! We started out with drinks - ice tea, smoothies, and Diet Coke. Our glasses were never empty. Then, we ordered an appetizer - crab queso dip with colorful tortilla chips. This dip had large chunks of crab mixed in with their signature queso. And let's not forget their signature biscuits - AMAZING! Next, we ordered our entrees. I ordered the crab feast. This comes with one pound of crab, your choice of sauce, crispy potatoes and my choice of a side dish. I choose asparagus with crab meat on top. This is part of the crab IFY special. The sauce I chose was roasted garlic, but I mixed it with their signature hot honey. I took two sauce and put them together -- AMAZING! Everyone at the table was reaching into get my specialty sauce to dip their crab. My sister chose the same thing, but her side dish was a baked potato fully loaded. My niece did the same thing as us, but did asparagus with no crab. My son ordered the Seafood Boil. This dish not only smelt yummy, the presentation was AMAZING! Finally, we split a dessert - The chocolate Wave. It was gone in 5 minutes. LOL I'm so impressed by Red Lobster's customer service and food. Hands down very underrated restaurant. I give our experience a 10 out of 10. I can't wait to go back. read more

Reservation 5 Star, we were seated promptly. 1 star for over all experienced. Our order was taken 7:03pm. We have to ask for straw, my suggestion is as soon as you served drinks bring straws along with you. I want to give Jillian our server 4 Stars, a little smile would be perfect. Our food was served 7:46pm, 44 minutes after. Thank you for the Manager for giving us 10% discount and I acknowledge him for apologizing to us because our order took forever to be served. I am not sure how long is Jillian working in the restaurant, but he does not have any back up help, a little compassion for someone struggling and overwhelmed server would be good too. Eating our bread, using napkin as our plate, because there are no clean plates. The food is warm not hot. We will definitely not return that soon yet. read more

I love that they offered shrimp dishes at different price point options. With lobster, endless, or with set amount. And prices were reasonable. I love the staff (Maribel, might not be spelled right) that took care of us. Attentive but no rush. Our group got everything we needed and wants were accommodated. read more

The restaurant was clean and inviting. Our server, Colin was friendly and attentive. He was very clever. That made our meal fun. He also, was very accommodating with one in our group's dietary restrictions. He checked with the chef regarding these restrictions. He is an asset to the Red Lobster organization. The manager came by to see that everything was to our satisfaction. The Crab offerings were excellent. The food was delicious. This is one of our favorite places for a Girl's Night out. read more

Fantastic Service from Sarah T! We had such a great experience tonight, and a huge part of that was our server, Sarah T. She was attentive, kind, and honestly one of the best servers we've ever had. She really knew the menu and was so helpful with everything we asked. We definitely ran her around a bit with requests, but she handled it like an absolute champion and never missed a beat. Our food was also super good! We ordered two seafood boils, the salmon balsamic bowl, the shrimp meal with coconut sauce, and kids chicken tenders, and everything came out delicious. There were a lot of birthdays happening, so the place was lively and fun, but even with the busy atmosphere Sarah made sure we felt taken care of the whole time. If you're lucky enough to get Sarah as your server, you're in for an amazing experience! read more

Red Lobster - My MIL birthday celebration.. they wrote this with chocolate sauce for her special day! Very kind - Seafood Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Kinda sad they don't have Bottomless Shrimp anymore, but the food is still good! The Cheddar Bay Biscuits will always be a favorite in my family. First time trying their seafood boil. Although not as good as another establishment's seafood boil (IYKYK,) it was good and it filled me up. I do think they need to work on their seafood boil flavor because it wasn't as flavorful as I thought it would be. I want to try the boil on our next visit to see if it's gotten better. It was nice and quiet on a Tuesday night. We were celebrating our wedding anniversary and it was nice that it wasn't too busy. Our server wasn't bad but I wished she was more attentive for it being a slow night. read more

My husband and I came in for an early dinner on a Wednesday 2026. As far back as the 80's Red Lobster was always our go to. Back then they always brought a basket full of the yummy biscuits. This time we go 2 biscuits. A wonderful salad was always included with our meal. Now salad is extra. The steak and lobster always came with a baked potato. Now the potato is one of the sides you can order. Worse of all the steak was sooo chewy. Our waiter was pleasant but not personable. Not sure why Red Lobster made the changes that they did but we were disappointed for sure. read more

Very good costumer service. It does not take long for food to be on your table. The food is very good. Birthday gifts like the chocolate cake slice are very good read more

Exceptional service!!! From the hostess to the bartender, all were so wonderful. The hostess was very friendly seating us. Our server Nicole was friendly, helpful, and attentive. The bartender made wonder drinks and an especially beautiful Mojito! We ended up leaving a wallet behind and they kept it safe until we returned. Upon our return, their power was out but they all still had such a pleasant attitude. I'd recommend this location and suggest trying their salmon bowl. It was delicious . read more

Every year we come here when my son turns another year older, he will never miss his opportunity to come to Red lobster. It's his favorite. We made our reservations. Only had to wait like 10 minutes but the weight is always worth it. The service was excellent. The food is even better. My son always orders crab, lobster and more crab. We had a party of eight and they were on top of us. We didn't want for anything. The service was excellent. Appetizers drinks were excellent and my filet mignon that I ordered was cooked to perfection My grandson also ordered the filet mignon but they didn't cook his as much as he wanted it so that was probably my only disappointment was he had to wait while they sent his plate back. At the end they came in and saying happy birthday to my son and I can't tell you how great the service was. The food was excellent. We'll see them next year read more

First time been back since the CEO change. And pleasantly surprised. The menu was simpler and more seafood specific. The family and I got a number of meals and all were great. The seafood boil was nice and worth it. The bacon wrapped scallops as usual were great and the stuffed mushrooms as well. Our server was great and very patient. The restaurant was clean and well kept. read more

I must say that the food at this particular red lobster has recently become absolutely delicious.. We had not been going there for quite a while and we had quit going,, but tried it a bit back and loved it. We went last night after I had outpatient surgery. We both had one of their lobster fest items. My husband had steak and lobster, and I had the lobster, shrimp, and salmon. I decided to get the rice orzo to go with mine. Oh my gosh, it's so delicious. The salmon was cooked perfectly and I ate all of it. I ate half my lobster and I was so thrilled that they cut the lobster so that you could just peel out the pieces instead of fighting with the darn thing. I brought half the lobster, all the shrimp, and the rice orzo home. It's so good that I actually thought about eating it for breakfast but decided to wait. My husband had the steak and lobster and he said that his steak wasn't cooked enough, but he was OK with that because he actually because he could bring most of it home. He had the fries. They had no broccoli, but they let us substitute for asparagus. I will say that the asparagus wasn't cooked well and a couple of the pieces I had were kind of woody. We did bring the asparagus home and I will cook it a bit more. Our server, Tori, was absolutely amazing and one of the sweetest servers I've ever met. The only reason I gave four stars is because of the steak and the asparagus not being cooked properly. read more

I lured in to ordering take-out from Red Lobster by the promise of a free birthday dessert through their rewards app. When I arrived at the restaurant, they weren't overly busy but there were several cars parked in the lot, a few customers trickling through the door every so often plus a couple of people for their own to-go orders. The hostess/cashier, Emma H. (according to the receipt) greeted me warmly and took my order; aside from mu complimentary birthday dessert (I chose the Chocolate Wave cake & ice cream), I also ordered a bowl of New England Clam Chowder and a medium soda to-go. The wait time was minimal; I received my food quickly. The price tag compared to the portion size was little on the steep side; my total order for the soup, soda and tip came out to $21+. When I arrived at home, my soup size was more a cup rather than a bowl, and the contents of said New England Clam Chowder consisted barely there bits of clam and the watery soup had more of potatoes rather than clam. I felt ripped off overpaying $10.99 for this concoction and $3.99 for the drink. It was pretty disappointing. The Chocolate Wave cake and ice were good; but did the complimentary dessert offset the cost of my soup? I would honestly say no; next time I get a complementary dessert or appetizer; I'f probably not pass on the offer. read more

They went absolutely above and beyond to make my birthday special for me. The service was AMAZING and the foo of course was top notch. We live in California and all the Red Lobsters where we lived closed down. So we traveled 3 1/2 hours so I could have my favorite for my birthday. It was worth the drive and we got a full bag of fresh piping hot biscuits to go without even asking. Wonderful experience and plan on returning soon!! read more

Food Service and atmosphere always great at the Local Red Lobster!! Friendly staff, reasonably priced and always Good!

We decided to have lunch here before our drive around Lake Tahoe. We sat at the bar and were the only customers in the bar area. We both ordered Lobster Bisque and salad. My husband asked for Thousand Island dressing and was told they were out of that dressing and could not get it then proceeded to tell him what was available. Then it was my turn, I ordered Blue cheese and was informed that they were also unable to get Blue Cheese dressing and that I would need to make another selection. This was really a strange situation. I would think that instead of 'being out' they could maybe make some? I mean they are a restaurant. The Lobster Bisque was tasty but the cheddar biscuits that they said had just come out of the oven were gummy. Overall the meal was ok, but that wasn't what we were expecting. I don't think we will be returning any time soon. read more

Do Beyoncé gotta name drop Red Lobster again? Because this location deserves it! We came in to celebrate my mom's birthday (also Cinco de Mayo), and our waitress Ms. Trina made it unforgettable. Her energy, attention to detail, and consistent service made the whole experience feel special. She really took care of us like family. And shoutout to Emma the hostess--fun, friendly, and had us seated fast with zero attitude. Respectful vibes all around! Food-wise, this Red Lobster franchise gets it right. They've got daily specials, so check before you go. We started with the bacon-wrapped scallops (go for the 6-piece, trust me). They were so good we didn't even get a chance to take pics. For dinner, we had lobster, shrimp scampi, and a fully loaded baked potato with all the fixings on the side. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and honestly changed how I feel about Red Lobster as a whole. If you're in Reno and craving seafood with great service, this is the one.

After not eating here for years, we came for a February birthday celebration. After our dinner, I'm left feeling indifferent. Overall, just a lackluster experience. The food wasn't bad. It just wasn't something to rave about. However, I took the untraditional route and the steak was cooked surprisingly well! One thing to note, the caesar salad comes with bacon so you may want to skip that if pork isn't your thing. Service took a little longer than expected, and we were the only people in the restaurant. If you're a seafood lover, spend the same money and head down the street to Toucan Charlie's. read more

The seasonal seafood boil is back at Red Lobster. I had the Mariner which comes with shrimp, crab legs, lobster tail, potatoes and corn. You have a choice of garlic or Cajun butter and the Cajun is the best! They had a cocktail I hadn't tried-blackberry smash-and it was very good. My husband loved his dessert, brownie overboard. Service was very good and the seafood boil was delicious. read more

This place was jam packed for Mother's Day. The staff was setting great expectations and we were seated in less than 20 minutes when they had said potentially 35-45 minutes. Our server was Sara...who is here Thursday through Sunday....so make sure you ask for her. She was bubbly, energetic, so personable and on top of every moment of our lunch. The food was everything we wanted...my mom was perfectly pleased with all of it. And most of all, Sara made this a perfect lunch. Thank you Sara and the rest of the staff for helping me treat my mom on Mother's Day! read more

Sadly, I feel this last visit to Red Lobster, was my last visit to Red Lobster. As per my previous reviews over many years, this has always been a fast favorite. I have always rated them as 5 stars. I know they are struggling, I know they revamped their menu, so decided to treat myself and go there for a special steak and lobster lunch. I was there on a Thursday so their special Wednesday price did not apply, I paid the full $39.99. I noticed many of my previous favorites no longer on the menu. I used to love enjoying the hot biscuits and the crisp salad as I waited for my main meal. The biscuits are there but the salad, not. My meal came with two sides and a salad was not an option for me unless I wanted to upgrade for $2.99. I also had options to upgrade the steak for additional $7.99. Made me now wonder about the steak I would be getting without an upgrade. I chose a baked potato and broccoli as my sides. The plate came and looked very good, the lobster tail was a nice size and the plate looked as I had hoped it might. The bad news was the steak was inundated with some spice mix, that was unpleasant and overwhelming and left a burning taste in my mouth. This lovely steak was now a total disappointment and one that I could not enjoy at all, I wrapped it up to take home to my dog after I rinsed it off. As all this was taking place and I realize I have paid $39.99 for a dry baked potato and a lobster tail, the manager on duty was doing her rounds. She asked how everything was. I explained what happened with the steak. She listened and confirmed that indeed they put a seasoning on the steaks (unannounced). I showed her I was taking mine home for the dog. She said to me, next time! I should simply tell them not to put any seasoning on the steak. She smiled as if this was a lovely solution for me. The next time? Sadly there will be no next time. Clearly this was a huge missed opportunity to turn this situation around. read more

Came to Red Lobster just for the crab and got one pound of snow crab with Cajun butter. It was delicious!

Red Lobster - One pound of Snow Crab with Cajun Butter - Seafood Near Me - Reno, Nevada

i've had some great experiences here and some poor ones. food is always solid and honestly sometimes better than what i normally expect from red lobster. huge fan of their new seafood boils and the new direction the restaurant has been going in. my main concerns with this location is service. i've come here a good handful of times and recently went for lunch, it was completely dead with only maybe one or two more tables. the service was horrendous, i asked to add extra crab to my boil and asked if i could also get a side or add the other butter flavor and was told no for both of these. never was informed about the sausage option and also wasn't give bibs, gloves, or an extra plate despite sharing the boil. the second time i came though i was told about the add ons and was able to get a side of the other butter. this visit was also significantly more busy, which made me wonder why the last time i asked for these things i was not allowed them. overall still love coming here but feel as if the lunch staff have a much worse attitude than whenever i've come for dinner. read more

Came for a pre-birthday lunch treat of my friend. Haven't been here in awhile so excited to come! We had a nice waitress Sarah serving us, she came and gave us a few minutes and helped us with the menu. She was very friendly. Service was a little slow and our salads came with our main meal. The server apologized for it and said it was on him not our waitress. I would have liked to enjoy the salad ahead of our main course. I started on the shrimp as I like my food hot and it was just a bit on the warm side already so picked at the salad then concentrated on my shrimp. I ordered coconut shrimp which came with a sweet sauce and the skewered shrimp which was on a small bed of rice. Both were very tasty as I love shrimp pretty much anyway! My friend ordered two other types of shrimp and was disappointed she didn't get rice with hers so I shared mine. They only give you one side and we both got salads. We decided to share the cheesecake which came with strawberries and cream. It was very good and a large piece. All in all we enjoyed our meal here! read more

My husband, daughter and I came here on Sat for our date night out! The wait was only about 10 mins which was amazing. We ordered the lobster dip as an appetizer and some drinks except my little one she stuck with water of course. The lobster dip was good a bit salty but that's ok it was still tasty! I ordered my daughter the grilled chicken kids meal which she didn't like at all the chicken was very very dry, But she did enjoy the fries. The bread of course is always the best part of the meal! My husband got the salmon lobster and shrimp meal with hush puppies and coleslaw which he said was a 10/10! I ordered the new mariners seafood boil with the Cajun sauce and a side of Parmesan sauce it was absolutely tasty it didn't have much of a Cajun taste more of a black pepper taste but dang it was still so Devine! We will definitely be back for some more tasty meals! The waiter was awesome he was really on top of it we waited a good 45 mins for our food but the food minus my daughters was worth it! read more
