Great Service indeed! Waiter was nice and courteous and awesome. My friend had the lobster pizza and lobster mashed potatoes. He commented that it was more portions of lobstermeat than other Red Lobster places. For me...omg. the worst burger. Meat was stale. I had to saw into the bread. Overcooked. I did not complain as my friend wanted seafood and I hate seafood. I am never setting a foot in here again. Fries portion was meager at the most maybe it was the plating but I am never coming back no matter who in my party wants to come here. My friend paid. I did not complain for his sake but if I was with another person or family I would have blew through the roof and made the manager taste a piece of it and feel how hard the bottom of the bun was when I sawed it apart. read more

Red Lobster - The worst burger ever. - Seafood Near Me - Schaumburg, Illinois

Food same and good as it's been for years. Got to this location 2 hours before close and seemed rushed as at most places you go now a days. Sweeping floors and cleaning all around my eating area. It's seems now a days no matter if you want spend $8 on a meal or $150 there's no care about giving the customer an over all good experience. Dress codes have gone to s***. Countless places I've went as late dressed in coat and tie seat me right next to poeple in flip flops. Not saying red lobster is 5 star but it's also not cheap. read more

I have been to Red Lobsters all over the place. They are typically just fine but this Red Lobster always pleases...even when they don't. I have been there over the years and when anything is messed up, they fix it and then some. Went in for dinner tonight and was greeted by a friendly manager and very nice hosts. We were served by Kristina and if you are in the area, stop by and see her. I critique my servers just as much as I critique the food put in front of me. She was great! Such a pleasure. Never had to ask for a refill, either. The manager stopped by mid-meal by us and a number of other people around us to make sure we were happy with everything. He offered to fill up my boyfriend's soda as well. I love any manager that is willing to get his hands dirty. Food was PERFECT!!! Biscuts were hot and fresh; scallops perfectly cooked, shrimp was yummy and chicken was hot and succulent, just like I like it! This is our new Red Lobster- for sure!! read more

Red Lobster - Seafood Near Me - Schaumburg, Illinois

It had been years since we ate here, so we decided to give it another go. I mean, it is Lobster season after all. Big mistake. The food that I remember being good years ago was now frozen, microwaved, and gross. I wanted fries but knew I couldn't eat a whole basket of them, so I asked if I could do half fries / half vegg for my side. "No, the fries are pre-portioned in frozen packets." Oh.... Well, that sounds appetizing. My fish had a horrible fish taste to it, and not a normal fishy-fish taste, but it tasted exactly like a dirty fish tank smells. It was awful. The only redeeming points of the entire experience were the crab cakes appetizer and, most importantly, the biscuits. Thank god those were as good as I remembered. read more

We have dined here for many years and always been pleased. Tonight was a big disappointment. Our waitress was wonderful. I ordered a white Zinfandel and was told they no longer serve it. We ordered salads with French and thousand island they no longer have either one. I ordered a lobster tail and was not happy with our waitress changed it out for a Maine tail and not the rock tail. It's going to be a long time before we go back. read more

Came here last minute for Valentines Day (classy, I know). Figured we would skip any wait and eat at the bar. Smart move. Bar staff was super attentive, prompt, and engaging. I'm not going to waste time talking about the food bc you know what you're getting when you come here, if you're upset about your food that's your fault. Will be sitting at the bar from now on here whether there is a wait for tables or not. read more

Perseverance paid off. It took some convincing that this food chain evolved. In my Boyfriend's mind, Red Lobster still had a bad rap for serving fried seafood. I thought the bar was too close to the front door. I would not feel comfortable sitting there with people hovering over me while they waited for a table. The booths, however, are incredibly comfortable with super cushions! The cheddar biscuits are served warm, flakey and delicious. Jason asked for a $22.25 full order of the Chef's Signature Maine Lobster and Shrimp Pasta. Linguini mixed with fresh asparagus and tomatoes, topped wtih white wine and lobster butter sauce. It included a Coleslaw, Garden or Caesar salad. I was not disappointed with the 1lb $18.99 Snow Crab Legs. Steamed and served with melted butter. I added the optional 1/2 pound more for $5.50. I knew Jason would want to have some. The order also included a choice of Coleslaw, Garden or Caesar and a choice of side (steamed broccoli, mashed potatoes, wild rice pilaf, baked potato or fries seasoned with sea salt). I look forward to another visit. Hopefuly, I won't have to wait so long! read more

Phil our waiter was fantastic! He was attentive and kind. Would come back just for his service. We had our son with us, and knew not to service over our small child. Always a good time at red lobster read more

I've been trying to support the restaurants in the Schaumburg/Hoffman area and let me just say...after having some very disappointing experiences this week, I was hesitant to order from Red Lobster today. I've been craving seafood, but I was worried about the quality and portions that would be given here.... We decided to order and we were EXTREMELY satisfied with how smooth the curbside pick up was. Our food was hot and he portions were GREAT for our family! I definitely recommend this for an affordable family meal. Thank you for making my week during the Covid-19 pandemic. read more

I enjoy Red Lobster, but have had better seafood. I'd recommend the salads, the salmon, lobster ans shrimp combo. The ultimate feast is good too. The walleye filet is just okay. The sides of mashed potatoes, white potatoes, and rice are good as well. The bread, biscuits they serve are amazingly good though. read more

Went for lobsterfest. There i had dueling lobster tail which was really yum. Only the wild rice was bit salty otherwise the lobster tail was cooked perfectly. It was juicy and tender. Shrimp and scallop was soft, melted in the mouth. Service was great. Unlimited cheddar biscuit was delicious. We went on valentines day so was crowdy and waited an hour to get seated. read more

Service was amazing. Shrimp was very good and grilled perfectly. Everything was amazing except for the lobster.

The restaurant has changed a lot. I opened my napkin and there was a long hair in it. My son opened his napkin and there was another long hair. That was within minutes of sitting at the table. Completely unsanitary. The food was mediocre very oily and just ok. The atmosphere was very dark and the manager didn't stop at our table to see how things were. The table was sticky and stain marks throughout. Overall, if a restaurant isn't clean that's a bad sign. It's an expensive food menu and definitely not worth the prices. Management needs to train staff to either pull their hair back or watch that hair doesn't go into utensils. Our waitress was nice and attentive that's why I have the restaurant 2 stars. read more

Went to Red Lobster for carry out Sat night 3/28. EVERYTHING that I bought was COLD, ie, two complete COLD meals and two COLD bowls of soup. ...and just to clarify, home is only minutes from the restaurant. As long as I'm complaining, might as well get it all off my chest. The soup containers were half empty, and the clam chowder was watery. Look, I know times are tough for the restaurants, but times are tough for customers, too. I didn't get what I paid for and I'm angry and I won't forget. read more

Good service, food was pretty good. The vibe was chill, our go to date spot. The drinks could be better though.

Ordered Holiday Trio, got a very disappointed plate. I wondered where Red Lobster got such tiny lobster tail, it's disgraceful humiliating. read more

Although our order time on New Years Eve got mixed up, so no meal, a refund was issued by the mgr, Chris, when we contacted him on Mon 1/5. Service was definitely overwhelmed on New Years Eve, but we will try again at a less busy time. Really missed our lobster and cheddar biscuits! Thanks to Chris for handling our problem quickly and pleasantly. Eve N. read more

My family has been coming to different Red Lobsters over the years but we have stuck with Schaumburg's Store. The food is always top of the line and service always makes you feel welcome. Especially Megan, a couple years ago I became disabled and don't move around well. She never slowed down making sure I was taken care of like family. After my surgery I'll definitely be back!

Love Red lobster. Always busy so you know the food is fresh. We celebrate every birthday here and have never had a complaint. Large portions and always tasty. Friendly staff and quick service. If you plan on going on Mother's Day I would recommend someone go early and wait because they do not take reservations. read more

I never thought I'd be leaving a 5-Star review for a chain restaurant, but here I am doing so. Before this, the last time I stepped foot into any Red Lobster was around 1995 - about 20+ years ago. The service, drinks and food were all superior. 4 of us came here on Saturday evening Mother's Day weekend and it was very busy, as expected. We were told the wait time would be around 20 minutes - which ended up being accurate. I didn't believe they would be able to seat us so quickly, but they did. Our female server (Katie V.) was excellent. She was very friendly, knew the menu and was prompt. For food, our group had the Cajun chicken pasta; crab legs (crab legs came with 2 sides, zoodles and mashed potatoes, both of which were excellent); chicken tenders & crab-stuffed mushrooms (the so-called build-your-own appetizer option); and grilled shrimp. 'Zoodles' are zucchini shredded to mimic noodles, by the way. All of the main entrees (except the appetizers) came with a salad - all ordered Caesar salads. The dressing was great - I'm guessing homemade. Very impressive. Everyone was 100% satisfied with what each person ordered. As for cocktails, I was again not expecting much for a chain restaurant - but again they exceeded my expectations. I had the Malibu hurricane and someone else ordered the 'Lobster-Rita' - basically a strawberry flavored margarita (I posted a picture). It's called a lobster-Rita because of the red color (don't worry, there's no lobster in it). Both drinks were above par when compared to bars that claim to specialize in cocktails. I would definitely come back to Red Lobster. It will be sooner than 20 years this time. read more

Red Lobster is one of my favorite restaurants, but last time food was horrible: dry rice, overcook beans, really tiny portions.

Amazing food, fast and polite service! Jazmin treated us great and we enjoyed great-tasting meals in a nice atmosphere. Overall a great dinner experience. We're happy! Forgot to add - the lobster bisque is to die for! read more

Good food, good service, a little pricier than previously. When ordering for delivery, they get it right without any issues.

Every now and again, my husband and I have a hankering for Cheddar Bay Biscuits and so we find the nearest Red Lobster and get our fill. We've been to location twice and it's just okay -- I truly don't expect much more from a chain restaurant as such. We have had two great experiences with waiters here, maybe the saving grace. I did notice that this location could use a good deep clean. My menu was disgustingly dirty and there was a pile of trash under the table next to us. Yuck. But, the Cheddar Bay Biscuits, good as always. read more

Just wanted to write this review about this red loster in Schaumburg, il. We went to dinner here today Sunday Nov4,18, and had eat our meal in a puddle of water. I ask for a manager and he didn't show up until we were ready to leave. Our waiter went over to the two mangers ( Amber and Nate)that was standing by the door talking and ask for him to come see us about the water. Mr. Nate decided to come to the table and said "I heard you had a water problem " do you want to move. Now remind you we were on our way out the door at this time. If this is how you treat your customers you dont need to be a manager. read more

Good service and good food. Not a high end seafood joint, but one of the better Red Lobsters around. The food is average, but well cooked - although not fresh (it's frozen). The prices can be high, but average lower than other chains. Service is above average and staff are attentive and friendly. For a chain restaurant, this one actually does it right! read more

People ask me, "Is that the best you can come up with in the 'burbs?" And I have to admit, it's not. I can think of plenty of places better than Red Lobster, but every once in a while you want something familiar. I know what to expect here and I love me some Cheddar Bay Biscuits. That being said, I probably won't be back for a while. I know a number of restaurants with better quality and/or better value. I've never had a negative experience here, but I'm tired of waiting in line for mediocre seafood. When they do it right then it can be pretty good, but more times than not I find myself wanting something more. read more

Will not be back for sure. Food came out missing, we had to ask for what was suppose to be given like the menu said. Wasn't even busy, like come on really. I had to ask a few times for the items that were missing. When my food came out, there was suppose to be lobster meat on my steak. The portion of lobster meat was a dam joke. Also our server tells us she charge the wrong items on the wrong card, when we were paying. This was suppose to be a nice birthday dinner, thanks for nothing. Get your shit together. read more

Red Lobster - This was my lobster meat on top of my steak. Not worth it. - Seafood Near Me - Schaumburg, Illinois

I think I may have finally learned my lesson when it comes to the difference between chain restaurants out of state. Every one of them that I have tried here in Chicago is incredibly different than the experience I had with them in Texas. Original Pancake House, IHOP, and Olive Garden I'm looking at you. The meal prices are at least $5-6 more expensive, seriously, and the food quality is awful. I don't understand how it could be so different being essentially the same place yet here we. The cheapest meal we could find on this menu was the $17 (per person) four course meal. It came with their cheddar bay biscuits, of course, along with soup, salad, entree, and a dessert. For $17 I could have gone down the street to my favorite Italian restaurant the Rosebud and been at least happy with my food. The biscuits were the only thing I liked. For the soup I had chicken tortilla which was watered down and flavorless at best. The salad was limp and nothing special, mostly iceberg lettuce and chunks of tomato. I ordered the garlic grilled shrimp which were rubbery and came on a bed of wild rice pilaf (good) and roasted seasonal vegetables (also good). My dessert was caramel cheesecake that was so tiny it could fit nicely in the palm of my hand and tasted like the cheap variety pack cheesecakes you can get from any grocery stores freezer section. For what we spent it was not worth it. I do not see us dining again here anytime soon, if ever. We will stick to mom and pop places, or at least were the menu price is accurate for the quality of food you are getting. read more

I'm no fan of seafood, but hubby loves it... we were headed out to Hoffman Estates to do some stuff and when we drove by Red Lobster I told him we'd go back to grab dinner. So, we walk in with our brood of three kids and the hostess right away offers to let the kids pet a lobster, that was awesome for them! At the table, after only a 5 minute wait, we had a good server, although he was very soft spoken so it was a little difficult to hear him at times. Ordered, kids had popcorn shrimp and snow crab legs; hubby had shrimp, lobster tail and scallops and I had a steak. Honestly, I think the only thing that wasn't really good was the steak. Hubby totally enjoyed his dinner and my little girl who'd been dying to try crab legs LOVED her snow crab legs; my son was indifferent about his shrimp, but I think it was because it was a late dinner. The service was actually very good, not only by our server but by the whole staff that seemed attentive to all their tables and they actually appeared to enjoy working there, which is always a plus. We'll definitely stop in again to quench my family's hunger for shellfish! read more

Me & my sis went to Red Lobster last night because she had a craving for sea food. I can't remember the last time I have been to a Red Lobster, it's been years. I have to say the service was excellent thanks to our server Tony. He was really great. He cracked jokes with us & even helped us make our drink selections. The Sunset Passion Colada was fabulous. We started with stuffed mushrooms & for dinner I had the Admiral's Feast & Jen had the Seaside Shrimp Trio. Our portions where ginormous. With dinner you get bread, salad, and the big entree with your choice of of side, I had the baked potato & Jen had the fries. We will have enough leftovers for 2 more meals. My only complaint is that I remember the bread being a lot bigger years ago and my baked potato, though it was quite tasty, was very small. I was super excited about ordering my potato and when it came I was a little disappointed. Overall it was a great experience & would def go again. read more

Red Lobster has been one of my favorite restaurants for a long time. I think we can all agree that the cheddar biscuits are literally one of the greatest food items ever conjured. The service, quality, and speed have never been issues. The food is always delicious. I had the Lobster today (what a shock - Lobster from Red Lobster). Other dishes included the wood fire grill steak, shrimp and crab. Over time, I've sampled various platters and combos - each of which is delicious. I think the only problem I have is that there's so much food that I eat myself into oblivion. That's obviously my fault though. The chocolate lava cookie looks amazing but I've never had room for it. Always recommended - one of my favorite restaurants of all time read more

One word: biscuits. Warmth, comfort, flavor. A few of the words I associate with these dollops of deliciousness. I try not to imagine the calories contained within or the resulting garlic breath, as I indulge in consuming these cheddar biscuits. Nevertheless, I look forward to eating them whenever I go to Red Lobster. You can get them at any of the locations, why write a review about this location? - Good service. The waitstaff is always extremely friendly and accommodating to various requests ("Water with lemon, please." "Can you take a picture of us?") - Large sitting area. Not that I go here all of the time, but I don't think I've sat in the same section once. I believe the size is due to more than the fact that it matches the suburban quality of "big." This characteristic is good for diners, leaving less wait time. - Convenient location. Speaking of suburbs, this restaurant lies near the heart of a Schaumburg. Nestled between Woodfield Mall and Roselle Rd (where one can get off the 90), at a large intersection, I find this location a good meeting place. Bonus: emailed coupons (to use at any location). I get made fun of my membership from another friend, so please refrain. If you join the Fresh Catch Club online, you'll get birthday as well as random coupons for free menu items. read more

I hate to be hard on this place because the staff was pretty good. Our server Casey was helpful, timely and enthusiastic. The host staff got my mom and I seated promptly. That was all good and the positive side of the visit. But the food just isn't good, plain and simple. The cheddar biscuits were fine and the salad had a good taste as well. But my mom ordered a Seaport special - shrimp scampi, skewered shrimp and a lobster tail. Maybe it's the way they prepare it, but off of these items will slide out of their shells when it's cooked properly. Not one shrimp came away from the tail without the meat remaining intact with the shell. At finer seafood restaurants, the server can take a fork and cleanly separate the lobster tail meat from its shell. Here it takes two hands wearing rubber gloves to pull it apart. I ordered cod as I used to enjoy scrod at a restaurant I worked at in the 80's. It was broiled, topped with a little paprika and served with lemon butter sauce that was light and flavorful. Well, this cod showed little sign of broiling, probably because there was a thick lemon butter sauce all over it. Had I realized it would have been that much, I would have ordered it SOS. Instead, the meal itself was more of an "SOS"! I had two Darden gift cards and it was between this place and Season's 52. The latter was truly my first choice, but Mom (who's 86) and I had been out for awhile and I really didn't want her to be in a restaurant too long, so I thought we'd be in and out of RL faster than Season's, which was probably a good call. Mom also used to enjoy RL so I thought for her to go there after a 15 year absence and me, probably 25 was a good thing. But it wasn't - the seafood is simply sub par. Rarely do I give a place with good staff a rating of less than 3 stars, but this was an exception - "meh, I've experienced better" is truly my outlook on the food we had there. read more

Had dinner here today after a volleyball tournament so we came super hungry. Our server Esteban was AWESOME along with the rest of the staff and manager. Very kind and attendant.

Well it's been a while since I've been here now I know why. Let me start by saying that service was great. What happened to prices at this place at these prices I could have eaten at a real sea food restaurant. Let's see mussel appetizer sauce mussels overlooked and dry. Clam chowder, watery, bland! Yuk. Main course, $29.00, for miniature shrimp, scallops ok, lobster ok but everything taste the same. $120.00 for two people, should have gone to Shaw's. read more
