Exceptional Service, Great Meal. My wife and I stopped in for lunch. Our waitress was Extremely Kind and Courteous. The quality of our meal was top notch, this area (Shenandoah / the Woodlands) is heavy with restaurants, of which we go to often. The price for this meal was a lot lower than what we usually spend at the neighboring restaurants and the food quality was equal if not better. read more

This was my first time visiting Red Lobster, and overall, it was a pretty disappointing experience. We were part of a larger group (8), so we expected service to be a little slower than normal, but it felt excessively slow throughout the meal. We were seated immediately, which was great, but it took about 15 minutes before our waitress first came by. We placed our food order right away, yet it took around 45 minutes to receive water and drinks. The food itself arrived a little over an hour after we ordered. I ordered the Endless Shrimp and got to try several of the options. The Garlic Shrimp Scampi was easily the best of the bunch. It was buttery, flavorful, and the shrimp were cooked much better than the other varieties. I also tried the Shrimp Linguini Alfredo, Coconut Shrimp, and Marry Me Shrimp. While some of the toppings and sauces were enjoyable, I found many of the shrimp to be overcooked. The Coconut Shrimp had a nice sweetness but was dry, and the Alfredo was noticeably salty. The coleslaw tasted off and wasn't something I could finish. I was also surprised by the famous Cheddar Bay Biscuits. I'd heard people rave about them, but they were just okay in my opinion and didn't live up to the hype. One disappointment was that they ran out of Walt's Famous Shrimp at around 6:30 PM, which seemed odd considering it's one of their signature items. Unfortunately, we were unable to try it. Overall, there were a few bright spots, particularly the Garlic Shrimp Scampi, but between the long wait times, inconsistent food quality, and running out of a popular menu item, this wasn't a meal that left much of an impression. read more

Awful! Server would disappear. No refills on ice tea or cheddar bay biscuits. Our empty salad bowls remained on our table until we left. She has NO business being a server!! Coconut shrimp and hush puppies totally overcooked!! read more

Food was not as good as before. The golden point is we had a great server. Don't know if I would come back to this location, maybe try another one read more

Coconut shrimp tasted like it was from the HEB frizen food dept. I haven't been here in years and decided to hive it a try again. Quality just not there and it took 25 minutes to get our food. The server was very attentive, but that was the only high point of the visit. Give this one a miss. read more

Me and my husband went on a Wednesday night and the restaurant only had 2 other tables besides us and the staff still managed to mess up my order. The waitress initially got my order wrong so I had to wait for them to remake it and when it came out again, the chicken was undercooked so I sent it back and opted to not order anything else since my husband was finished eating by then. The manager and server apologized and told me they would accommodate us by taking my plate off the bill. I didn't see this as an accommodation as I already expected it to be taken off since it was undercooked and sent back. I wouldn't go back to this location. read more

Ate there brought roll that were not cooked all the way tougher so bad then ask for unsweetened tea without lemon had lemon had to dig it out then the tea tasted like lemon this right here is the poor service and management I will tell friends that it suck even the crab sucked I don't think I will be back read more

I know some may have their doubts about RL but I 100% feel this was a 5 star experience from the food to the service. I also want to note the value. Each day they have a special. Mondays are Lobster Tail and Shrimp Scampi with sides and their famous biscuits for $20. Ambiance was clean and well kept. read more

Red Lobster - Amazing deal on Mondays - Seafood Near Me - Shenandoah, Texas

Food was not up to par with the amount you pay. I tried the lobster fest boil but two small tails cut in half were not fulfilling. I tried other items from their menu and they were also sub par. The biscuits are the only redeeming part of the meal! Also the place looks "traditional" on the inside and old wood accents throughout the building. read more

I was crazing some cheddar biscuits, so off to Red Lobster we went. Unfortunately, with all of the recent closings, the closest one to us is in The Woodlands. To get there, we had to brave a wreck on 99 and Friday evening traffic on 45. But it was well worth it. We were greeted warmly by the hostesses and were a ke to be seated right away. As for the food, the biscuits were fresh out of the oven, the stuffed mushrooms were as delicious as I remember, and the Ultimate Feast we shared was quite tasty with plenty of food for two people. Our server, Barb C., was awesome! We had a bit of a hiccup with our baked potato, which she resolved quickly so we could continue with our meal. She was attentive, kind, and I loved her East Coast accent. We will definitely be back to this location! read more

After 32 minutes, we finally got our water but nothing else. We left after 36 minutes. Terrible service and the place needs cleaning and a remodel! read more

Viva la "Secret Menu"! I have grown increasingly fond of red lobster since it was purchased by a conglomerate from thailand. They really know seafood and they've turned the place around completely. Please ignore any reviews of the past under previous ownership because this is really are an entirely new restaurant. Today, we ordered from the secret menu during their shrimp and lobster fes and we got a beautiful lobster tail, a bowl of sauteed shrimp and a side for 20 dollars. And it was really just exceptionally well done. I've paid twice as much for less. I do recommend you join their frequent diner club and get their emails because these specials are sent to you that way along with things like 10 percent off your bill or other perks. read more

Red Lobster - $20 shrimp and lobster! - Seafood Near Me - Shenandoah, Texas

Probably one of the worst experiences at Red Lobster, and I can credit it to the waitress we had, Barbara. Spent about 40 minutes waiting for a shrimp seaside trio and a plate of linguini alfredo. My wife asked if she could have the plate of linguini alfredo with shrimp on the side, Barbara had no interest in going to the kitchen and asking if it's doable. We spent 40 minutes waiting on food and she had no interest in refilling our waters once or another round of biscuits the entire time. Not even a simple update on our food is coming out. The woman clearly has no interest in working there and while Red Lobster's quality has also gone down, she certainly isnt helping improve the customer experience what so ever. I would not return to this Red Lobster with 90% of the reason being- I dont want to deal with a waitress like this ever again. read more

The food was great; it didn't take long and tasted yummy! Our server Savannah was awesome. She was super charismatic and helpful. We loved the crab legs special, the ultimate feast and the grand patron margarita. read more

Ordered a dozen biscuits and they send me some overcooked garbage. Don't eat at this trash place. Their employees are clearly too stupid to bake a premade biscuit. Hard Pass, Angelleca. Maybe when y'all hire someone with an appropriate level of intelligence. Out here talking about raising minimum wage. It needs to be lowered based on post COVID customer service. read more

Red Lobster - Overcooked biscuits - Seafood Near Me - Shenandoah, Texas

This place needs a remodel ASAP. It almost feels like going into a a time capsule in the 80's. Those biscuits felt way too greasy for me, I remember loving them, today you could see through them, they looked fried in butter. I ordered the Salmon bowl, it came with Brussel sprouts, rice and lettuce. Salmon was good, Brussel sprouts were interesting. I honestly don't think our meals were tasty enough to go back any time soon. I really hope they come up with something because this place looks and feels forgotten in time! read more

The food is what you'd expect from a chain restaurant. Is it the best food? No. Is it the worst? No, but it's something that you'd find yourself craving from time to time regardless of the fact. Unfortunately, we were sat at a dirty table. The table and seats had leftover crumbs and some liquid was on the seat. I asked the hostess for a towel for the table/seat. She grabbed a wad of napkins to brush off the crumbs and gestured for me to sit. I declined and asked for the napkins, wet them using my water bottle, and wiped down the seat myself as she walked away. Rough start. Fortunately, Barbara ended up being our server. Miss Ma'am here is full of jokes and ensured we had a good time throughout our meal. The rolls were delicious, and of course we ordered some to take home with us. The rest of the food was decent. Some dishes were wayyy overdone with salt and others were lacking. Overall, it was okay. read more

Let me start off by saying Ms.Irene that was our waiter was amazing times ten! One of the kindest waiters I have had in so long. I decided to visit this location after having a bad experience at the location on 1960. The restaurant was very clean. Advertisement was displayed very well for specials they were having. The server also mentioned up deals that were happening. We started off with appetizers the biscuits were smoking hot like super fresh! So delicious! The wait time was quick! Soon as we finished the biscuits our " ultimate endless shrimp" deal had arrived at the table! Every dish was completely hot and fresh! We didn't even have enough room for dessert. The layout of the restaurant was huge to me and very clean. I also notice they had large booths for large parties! The bar area looked nice also. I really liked this LED sign that was at the door displaying the deals also. Definitely will be returning! read more

As a little kid I've always seen commercials of red lobster and never been. Not a bucket list item but thought it should be done. We went in on Friday. Hostess was SUPER RUDE. That alone discourages us to go back. Food was okay. Our server was nice though. Restaurant and bathroom were clean. Had the surf and turf, kids had the shrimp and grits and shrimp fettuccine. It was good but nothing to brag home about read more

I honestly wish I could leave zero stars. I came here with my family and ended up waiting over an hour and a half for food that ended up cold and unseasoned. Then when we told the manager, he was less than accommodating. If you were planning to come to this Red Lobster, think again. This will definitely be my last time coming here. Eat here at your own risk. read more

It's been a minute since I last went to Red Lobster and I don't know why because their Ultimate Endless Shrimp deal is AMAZING!!! The hubby and I had an early dinner during the week so there really wasn't a wait before we were seated. The booths were very spacious and comfortable. Our waitress, Christina, greeted us right away. She mentioned the specials. Btw-they have great drink specials for happy hour. She took our drink and appetizer orders and brought us the complimentary cheddar biscuits. They are delicious. Try not to fill up on them and save room for the appetizers and entrees. It's hard not to but try. Our drinks and appetizer came out in a timely manner. We then placed our order for the Ultimate Endless Shrimp. You start with choosing 2 kinds from the 5 options. You also get a side & they have plenty to choose from. Our shrimps came out just as we finished the delicious appetizer-Seafood stuffed mushrooms. Perfect timing. Christina was so attentive. She checked on us frequently, kept our drinks filled and made sure we had plenty to eat. We tried 4 out of the 5 different shrimp options. They were all delicious but if we had to rate them the jumbo coconut shrimp was the top choice. Followed by garlic shrimp scampi, grilled shrimp skewer, & Walt's favorite shrimp. But guess what? You can try them all yourself and see which one is your favorite. That's the beauty of the ultimate endless shrimp deal. So if you love shrimp like I do, this is the place for you. The restaurant is clean, the service is excellent, & the food is delicious. Thank you Christina for the your excellent customer service. read more

Patricia, the manager, should not be in a role of leadership due to her horrible customer service. My boyfriend and I walked in and was about to be shown our table by the hostess. Patricia came up and acted completely unprofessional and immediately questioning the hostess why we were being seated where we were. She then gave us to someone who was not supposed to take anymore tables according to the hostess. Patricia should've remained professional and had this conversation not directly in front of customers. It already left a bad taste in our mouths due to being new comers. I ordered the snow crabs which were not fresh and came out extremely fishy. This was my first time at a Red Lobster while I've had crab at Crafty Crab, and Crawfish Boil and the crab had never tasted like the one at this Red Lobster location. I spoke to my server that it did not taste right after having one leg. Patricia came over after and asked what was wrong with it and she gave a disgusted, judgmental tone and attitude, and then walked off without saying anything. She approached the table with annoyance and clearly was upset that her crab was fishy and it didn't meet my standards. She never came back to the table to apologize for her poor food and seems like she felt comfortable treating my table this way due to our age. This completely ruined the night due to her unprofessionalism and bad attitude. Candace was the sweetest server and tried very hard to make up for our night despite her managers rudeness. I should not be brought to tears over food. I was excited because of all the good things i heard about Red Lobsters changes. Do not allow Patricia to keep her position and give bad experiences to more first timers. read more

Red Lobster - Maine Lobster Tail & 7 oz. Sirloin* - Seafood Near Me - Shenandoah, Texas

Service was great. Like top notch. The food was decent but we were seated by the bar and I don't know how to explain it but there was a sour smell in the bar. I've smelled it before at other bars but not when I'm trying to eat. I don't know if it's a mixture of stuff behind the bar, old carpet, or the wood on the bar. I didn't notice it until we were almost finished eating but then I was put off. I do love the biscuits though and the Brussels sprouts were really well done. The Kung pao was ok but with I think Kung pao I don't think Red Lobster. I should have stuck to my usual Walt's Favorite. read more

Red Lobster - Kung Pao Crispy Shrimp - Seafood Near Me - Shenandoah, Texas

Stopped by along the highway for some lunch at 2:30pm. The place was pretty empty at the time (around 5 other tables seated) so we were seated and placed our orders in a very timely manner. To start, we got complimentary biscuits. A good little quick carb to snack on that has great flavor but definitely leans on the salty side. After about 15 minutes, we got our plates - one was the Baja Shrimp Bowl and the other was the Lobster, Shrimp & Salmon. Overall, both dishes were great. All the seafood tasted pretty fresh and were plated very nicely. I especially enjoyed the lobster and salmon - both were cooked to a nice tenderness and in my opinion make the dish worth the price. The bowl had a nice assortment of fresh vegetable-based sides (avocado, pico de gallo, etc) and complimented the shrimp well. My only bone to pick with both dishes was the shrimp - a little on the bland side. Yes they were seasoned with pepper but I couldn't really make out the shrimp flavor...so perhaps those could be a bit improved. But still, great food overall! Lastly, our server (didn't catch his name) was fantastic from start to finish! Very friendly and prompt in checking on us if we needed anything. Good service always makes the experience better and we loved the service here! PROS: - lots of open seating available (booths and regular tables) - complimentary biscuits provided with meal - very friendly and timely service - fresh tasting seafood & sides - good portion sizes for the price CONS: - shrimp was a little on the bland side read more

The service was awesome! I had a craving for coconut shrimp. So we went to Red Lobster. The current special is Endless Shrimp. Our server Grant was awesome. Very prompt. The broccoli was cooked perfect and actually seasoned. The coconut shrimp and shrimp scampi were hot and actually had flavor. I took a star away because the husband shrimp Alfredo lacked flavor and we had to add salt and pepper. Overall I was satisfied. read more

All hail the return of endless shrimp! Very busy Monday night, but was still greeted by manager on arrival and seated promptly. Server was very attentive and gave us realistic times for "refills" (ex: Garlic Shrimp Scampi would take 10 minutes to fulfill, while others would be faster) Order came out exactly as specified, and relatively quickly given the crowd size. Coconut shrimp, Walt's favorite and Scampi were our choices. All were fresh, none were overcooked, and all tasted above average. Drink refills were asked about and kept filled. All in all, probably my best experience here. Good service and getting my picky eater son to try something different...and finding out he LOVES it! read more

I was staying in the hotel next door so this was the closest place. I haven't been to a Red Lobster in years. The cheddar biscuits are still good, but the menu was a bit overwhelming and everything was a bit pricer than I remember. I ordered the gumbo and a side salad, which tasted good. My waiter was also running the bar so he was a bit frazzled, but very nice and still attentive. The restaurant in general didn't seem clean. Not sure if I would ever return to this location. read more

came here for the first time for my BILs birthday and the food was surprisingly good! the biscuits i've been hearing are so famous are pretty good, though I don't really taste much of the cheese part. but still real good.

We have really been on lockdown during this entire pandemic but took a chance to go to a restaurant that was practicing social distancing and servers and hostesses wearing PPG. Unfortunately, our server believes that just having it hanging around her chin works. Mother ordered the seafood gumbo, picture below, and even though we spooned through it 20 times there was absolutely no seafood in it. We also ordered a full portion of salmon, picture below, and a baked potato fully loaded, also see picture below. In this new era, restaurants are going to have to step it up if they intend to stay open. That means not only over the top service but also over the top food. read more

I got the Create Your Own: Clam Strips & Walt's Favorite Shrimp with baked potato with salt, sour cream, butter and cheese. You should get 2 sides. I didn't realize I was missing one, though I did mention coleslaw too. The clam strips were plump. I expected more chewiness in the clams, but they tasted fine. The shrimp was crispy and hot. I really liked the cocktail sauce in comparison to the tartar, which is unusual. The baked potato was cooked perfectly: hot and not a dry spot. It was National Lobster Day, so I got the Langostino Lobster-Artichoke-&-Seafood Dip for $5 when you buy an entree. I expected more artichoke flavor even though there were large chunks of artichoke in it. It was like a soupy queso with decent sized meat. The tortillas were crispy. The accompanying pico de Gallo was good. We also tried the Lobster & Langostino Pizza, which I thought would be less flat bread and more bread. It tasted okay, but the chopped tomatoes kind of overwhelmed the flavor. There didn't seem to be much of a cheese flavor and it arrived kind of lukewarm. The meat was cooked okay on it. The cheddar biscuits were soft and hot. The service was nice, though towards the end when we tried to get the bill, we encountered a few issues. While paying at the table, the bill didn't have the correct discounts applied, and we were being charged for an alcoholic drink (from the table nearby). After asking for service, the manager was able to fix the discount, but the message about the extra drink wasn't relayed to the manager. I mentioned to the server the other person had paid already, but I needed my portion fixed. It slipped his mind I guess, so we waited a while as they were wondering what had happed to the cost of the other meal. It was a bit of an ordeal. Good thing it was at the end of the dinner hour because it could have taken even longer. The water was refilled promptly enough. We got hot biscuits. Our server tried to be helpful by bringing over extra to-go containers, even though I asked only for a soup bowl. Everyone was nice and attentive once you got their attention. read more
