I ordered the endless Shrimp today. You pick the type of shrimp you want & even the types of shrimp you want for seconds. So much food! Only $17.99 + tax & tip. Very good! read more

I had splurged for a whole lobster and was disappointed when I saw the lean amount of actual lobster meat. Amber Brennan came to our table after I brought this up to my server. She was professional and gracious. Brought me a new lobster that was delicious. She saved the evening and I really appreciated it. Thank you! See you again soon. read more

Wow! Went on a Wednesday night so it was kind of slow. Waitress was phenomenal. Manager came by with a friendly smile during our meal which was greatly appreciated. The food was soooo fresh! I'm extremely picky and I have a good sense of when food is fresh so this was a breath of fresh air. I've been to this location a handful of times and this time I was extremely satisfied! We got the fried rainbow trout with fries and asparagus! Highly recommended! read more

Had a great dining experience here! Jessica was my waitress and she did a wonderful job! The food was delicious, the atmosphere was relaxing and the service was exceptional. The endless shrimp was a great bargain at $17.99. I would definitely recommend this restaurant! read more

See all

The food was delicious. My server was great. I think they seated her too many tables at once. She kind of disappeared after I got my food. Another server took my payment after I'd waited at least 15 minutes to pay. It appears the restaurant doesn't have enough staff. The food was really good though. read more

I ordered the sea side shrimp trio togo one evening. When I got my order home it wasn't what I ordered at all. I was give 3 sides of mashed potatoes and never given my shrimp scampi. There were supposed to be two cheddar rolls as well but instead I got guess what?... another side of mash potatoes!!! What?! I paid over $30 for 7 shrimp total and 4 sides of mash potatoes. Never going back to this location. read more

Close your eyes and pretend you are at Joes stone crab or Shaws crab house . The drinks are great, the service top notch, the food is great with portions fit for a King. The room is warmly lit and romantic. You'd expect to pay $100 per person and feel good about it. Now open them. Holy crap I'm at a Red Lobster and my bill is about $35 each. I feel thrilled to wake from this dream and pay the bill. read more

Very low quality. I ordered Lobster Lover's Dream. Our server strongly recommended it, but I would say not worth to pay. Lobster tails were almost rotten, and lobster-and-shrimp linguini alfredo was terrible also - pasta was boiled too much but shrimp was still cold. Side order caesar salad was not fresh either - romaine lettuce was too wilted to eat. Again, not worth to pay. I would never come back. read more

I went to Red Lobster with my friend Kat for the first time tonight!! We usually go to Joe's Crab Shack for seafood but decided to give Red Lobster a try! It's so pretty inside and we got a booth by a window so we could see the SUPERMOON!!! I got the endless shrimp deal and Kat got the crab boil. we each had soup and salad for appetizers. I got the potato soup which was good but if it had cheese and bacon on it would be amazing. Our server Brittany was super nice and attentive. I felt so bad because another one of her tables kept giving her a hard time because they had paper napkins instead of linen ones. I'm a server too so I know how difficult and ignorant some people can be to us. But Brittany took time to explain the new menu and make sure my endless shrimp plate stayed full! The manger was super nice and talked to us before we left. The shrimp scampi here was the best I've ever had!! I will return! read more

Nov '17 We very much enjoyed Lobster Artichoke Dip, Seaside Shrimp Trio, and Snow Crab. The servings were very large and delicious. Only quibbles were that the dip and shrimp were somewhat saltier than need be. Also, the crab meat tended to stick inside the shell sections, which may indicate it was not fresh. read more

I would have to say that some of the food is good- the bread basket will spoil your appetite (gotta keep my hands off and refrain from asking for seconds...) Janusz and I had lobster tail that was dry and chewy once, but since it is in our hood and we both like seafood it is our default seafood place- other places do seafood a whole lot better than Red Lobster - like Dover Straits for instance. We have never had a problem with the service- but we try not to go at typically busy times read more

This is a nice place to go when you want to go eat someplace nice but not formal. The service is great, for seafood the prices are reasonable. read more

Tyler the young server with dark hair was amazing!! He was so funny and checked in on us plenty of times. He deserves some acknowledgement!! Great experience tonight read more

Went to this location for endless shrimp and our server Ricky did a great job of keeping the shrimp coming and was really nice to my mother. I would recommend this location. read more

Our server was nice but my boyfriend and I were trying to spend a nice relaxing evening together, and they shut off the music at about 10 minutes after 10pm. How rude for having over a $100 bill! I work in a Michelin star restaurant in Chicago and some nights I have to wait until 1:30 -2am for my tables to leave. This was supposed to be our new years eve because I got home at 3am on actual new years eve. I understand this place isnt Michelin but for over $100 I was not happy. It was unprofessional and rude. Will not return. Better places to spend my hard earned money...in addition, we were never given even water. Just our drinks. If they would have even waited a little bit after closing, but shutting the music off? Why don't you just shout "get out" across the dining room floor? It sends the same message. I always tell people, "take your time, everyone deserves a night out" and I mean it. I want to thank red lobster for basically telling me to "get the hell out" :) read more

Salmon was underseasoned and tasted frozen. Waiter Carlos was slow, inefficient, and unfriendly. My brother's fish and chips were bland and oily. Def disappointing. I know this place is capable of much better. read more

Those delicious biscuits!! & did you see you can buy them in a box at Walmart? But if you want seafood, this is the place to go!!! I've been eating out at Red Lobsters for years & it's always an enjoyment. Our server told us that they "work as a team" so it was nice that other servers helped out and kept an eye on us with refills or cleared dirty plates when our server was taking care of other guests. I've read a lot of previous comments about prices but it is a restaurant & you get what you pay for. If you're looking to spend less than $20, then grab a nasty fish sandwich from McDonald's or Long John Silver. Personally, I've never had a bad experience (& this is my favorite location). The servers and managers are so genuine when talking to tables (not like some places where you can see and hear the fake & bs drooling out of their mouths). Enjoy! read more

I questioned coming here just because of previous experiences and other people's reviews. However, my parents really wanted to give it a shot, so we went. I highly recommend going to this location! The atmosphere is great and the service is so good. The food came out so quickly and it was delicious. I had the lobster tacos, which I definitely recommend. My family also enjoyed all of their meals :) read more

I was very impressed with their dedication to making a good experience. For a chain restaurant, the staff are helpful and enthusiastic about their work. I came here to celebrate a graduation and to my surprise, they set up balloons with my school colors and the waitress even told me congratulations! Our server was this really sweet girl with short hair (I'm bad with names). The cheddar biscuits are addictive and my salad was crisp and crunchy, so we were off to a good start! We ordered a lot of food such as the lobster pizza and it was great! I ended up ordering another pizza to go. This is one of those places where the portions are huge (at least to my family they're huge), so we just ordered different seafood dishes to share. Unfortunately, I can't really name them, but the shrimp scampi is what I got and I really enjoyed it. There was also another option which was a baked dish with a variety of seafood that was also tasty. The only thing I found disappointing was the size of the mussels - they were tiny! Then again, the lobster portions are big, so I guess it makes up for that. Another annoyance was the amount of oil that collected at the bottom of our baked dish - it was mildly alarming because you suddenly wonder about the calories in your food. The desserts aren't too special - they're good, but plain. I got the key lime pie and it wasn't anything special, but it was a hearty helping that I could share. All in all, I think the prices are worth it for a seafood restaurant, and I'd definitely come back to celebrate. read more

I realize it's Red Lobster, but the future wife and I ate here before we met our videographer for our wedding, and got the 2 for $30. We told the server we were kind of on a time crunch, and she had us served and out in about 25 minutes. Great staff, really neat lay out. The food wasn't anything spectacular (I got the shrimp alfredo pasta and I think they used a stick of butter), but let's face it ... unending cheesy biscuits? BOOM! read more

The biscuits are the hook and when you come back they aim to please with some good service and the food you know and love at red lobster. The cleanliness here was 4/5. The service was 4/5. The biscuits are 5/5 and everybody knows what they like to eat as a main course and how they feel about it. read more

My boyfriend and I went for our 1 year anniversary. We called at 6 for 7pm reservations on a Saturday and the hostess Lexie (I think) was very nice over the phone and took out reservation. While there was a small wait we went to the bar and the bartender John was swamped but came to us rather quickly and even offered to make my drink even though it was not on the menu. We got to our table and our server Marcela was amazing and kind and never forgot anything and kept our drinks filled. Over all just a wonderful experience :) read more

My family and I decided to give red lobster a try, we decided to try this Schaumburg location. it was sat eve so we called ahead and got on the list always phone 1st, when we arrived the location looked modern, clean and well kept. the inside was also clean and well kept, the hostess greeted us right away took our names found our reservation and within 10 min had a seat on a busy sat eve during lobster fest. I found the menu to be very confusing and out of order we were very lucky to have Phil Q as our server, he new the menu inside and out even new details and origins of the seafood very knowledgeable and made our ordering process much better. phill rocked us out with the cheddar bay biscuits right out of the oven those were killer. and he kept em coming to. starter we had were the langostino spinach dip and Italian wine and garlic butter mussels both excellent and good portion. I had the wood grilled rock lobster tail and red shrimp came with 2 sides and a salad, wife had salmon and shrimp also 2 sides and a salad, my 4yr old had some shrimp and fries, my father had double tail combo also with 2 sides and a salad. all very happy with the portions and the quality of the seafood here I have to say that my rock tail and red shrimp was the best I have ever had and at a great value for 5 of us our bill was less than $100. Thanx Phil Q and your team for giving us a great dining experience we will be back for sure I would definitely recommend this location over others, I live .5miles away from the oaklawn red lobster and would definitely drive to Schaumburg red lobster to get my seafood on. Thanx read more

Overall it was a decent place. We sat down right away, and our good came out pretty quick. The waiter messed up my order. I decided not to say anything, and just eat it anyways. What he brought out was probably healthier for me anyways. Food was ok, and so was the atmosphere. read more

Do not let SAM be your waiter at this location. He would not stop reaching his arm in front of my date and I to go through the menu, with no excuse me at all. Knocked our forks off the table and would not stop touching our silverware while he was talking... then would not replace them with new ones rudely! Lastly, after 20 minutes of looking over the menu without him checking to see if we were ready, he tells us to absolutely not order the dish we wanted with no other suggestions... I could not believe what I was seeing and hearing. In addition, when we asked another waitress her opinion of a dish, she said I don't know let me ask around.. walked around the restaurant asking everyone and came back 3 times with different answers. Also would not take her hand off my shoulder while talking each time. In my opinion they are too touchy/hands on in there for a restaurant and absolutely do not show professionalism. We have never in my life had service so terrible at a restaurant and will never go back. TGI Friday's 2 minutes away saved the night! read more

My best friend and I couldn't wait to sink our teeth into the Alaskan King Crab, and here's what happened at the Schaumburg location. A single star for the MOD (manager on duty) Saturday evening, November 8th. He kind of blew it for Red Lobster, and himself. He very easily COULD HAVE kept us as happy, FREQUENT customers, who only go to Red Lobster for the Alaskan King Crab legs. The restaurant didn't have Alaskan King Crab, and they hadn't had it for three days, problems with the vendor. As a customer who came in specifically for the King Crab, I dont want to hear about problems with the vendor, especially if the quality is poor, and a manager should never, ever hint of quality issues, to a customer, just don't have the Alaskan King Crab on the menu, ESPECIALLY, the daily "SPECIAL" menu. In case you're wondering, we never even thought to ask about the King Crab, as it WAS on the "SPECIALS", and, it was very early in the evening, so we'd never think to question if they had it or not. This entire situation is the FAULT of the manager, for not taking the King Crab off the "SPECIALS" menu, or at least making sure all his servers knew of no King Crab, in the house. I'll say one more thing about the manager that evening, he never even offered to comp our drinks, or desserts, heck, I've been comped at McDonald's when they've messed up an order. All he did was apologize for not having King Crab, and told us, in detail how bad their last shipment was. As far as the service, it was five stars. Aggie, our server, also five stars, she was great! We've had her in past visits, and she was great then too! She was also very apologetic. Because of her good attitude, and lots of ribbing from me, she earned her 20% tip. Too bad she had to work under a lousy manager. As far as rating Red Lobster, no star rating, but we will continue to go back, although, I'll never order a pound and a half of snow crab again, not even if it's on a half price special. read more

Completely disappointed with the food. Service was good, but the lobster served to me was so over cooked that I could have thrown it on the ground and it would have bounced back at me. The shrimp were also severely over-done. It almost tasted like they were microwaved. Even the salad was limp and disappointing. Never returning here again. read more

Red Lobster - Couldn't even eat the lobster. So sad... - Seafood Near Me - Schaumburg, Illinois

We absolutely love Red Lobster. The cheesy biscuits are my sons favorite. The ultimate feast is worth every penny and I also love their coconut shrimp. They have a Monday-Thursday that includes your meal, soup salad and dessert for under $20. Our favorite server is Rita! read more

This is a nice place to go when you want to go eat someplace nice but not formal. They have great seafood and if you're not a fan of seafood they still have some more cajun type dishes ready for you, and your kids can get pasta etc. The service is great, for seafood the prices are reasonable. One of my favorite LITTLE things is the bread! They have really tasty rolls to snack on before you get your meal but beware, they're so addictive that if you fill up on those before you get your food you won't have any room for your actual entree. Overall I would recommend crab/lobster dishes from here, shrimp next in the line of what's really popular. read more

We arrived at the tail end of a Saturday night and often times that means we get poor service from a worn out staff. That was not the case here. Gina was fantastic and the food was exactly what you'd expect from Red Lobster. Great staff. read more

Where do I start...my mother,son and I come here occasionally, and we've never had a bad experience, until this past Tuesday. We went in for the endless shrimp. First off my mother told the waiter to bring 3 waters and he only brought one, and this had to be the day I felt like I was dying of thirst. Then we order and our waiter brings the first round of shrimp, it was delicious right. Well we ordered our second round and it was terrible,my shrimp scampi we're over cooked and rubbery. I said well maybe that was a bad bunch... I then ordered fried shrimp that taste like they seasoned it with a lot of sea salt. I was done at this point. Seemed to me I could be wrong that they were making them any kind of way so you wouldn't order more...that was my first thought. The waiter was standing around talking not paying attention at all I had to get up and bring the check to him. He stunk as a waiter honestly. We probably won't return the food and service sucked on this day,I was very dissatisfied. read more

Red Lobster - Mom and I enjoying lunch before she leaves town. - Seafood Near Me - Schaumburg, Illinois

Great food and service. Never have to wait. Best waiter in the world.........Ricky. He really knows how to make you feel special and takes good care of you. Polite, sweet, engaging and fun! Really adds to a good dining experience. Also, watched Brittney clean tables around us. She cleaned the light fixture above the table and used the flashlight on her cellphone to make sure she swept up everything from under the table. If you are looking for a great dining experience, go to Red Lobster in Schaumburg and ask to be seated in Ricky's section. Currently he works Saturday evenings only. In a few months he will be there more often. Remember the name RICKY! read more

Fast, friendly service. Went here for my birthday. Order the usual. It came out fast. Only complaint was that the melted butter seemed to be watery or less flavorful than normal. Everything else was perfect! read more
