First time trying Red Lobster and it was fine. I ordered the lobster bisque and shrimp with Cajun butter. I was very excited to try lobster bisque and it was kind of disappointing, not sure if that's on them or if that's the normal taste. However, the shrimp with Cajun butter was amazing. The butter was very good. The service was alright, they were friendly but our waitress was standing a long ways back from our table while helping us. read more

We have always loved going here, but they have a server, Adrian. He's top tier. Will be requesting him next time!

Silverware and glasses were so water spotted that they looked dirty. Bad first impression. Waitress was ok but not friendly. Service was slow, waited over an hour from time we ordered until food arrived. Food was ok but not worth waiting for. Ceiling tiles missing. Just not a good experience. Won't be back. read more

Went there for all you can eat shrimp. Started out with the coconut shrimp and pasta. It was so so good. The server told me to try the sauce that went with the coconut shrimp and it was amazing. Great food and we had a great server read more

The service was greatgreat. The food horrible. My iced tea was incredibly salty. The food was overcooked as well as poorly seasoned and was just bad in general. For the price this food was horrible. read more

Seafood in the Midwest is never very impressive and a Red Lobster in Iowa is no exception, but it is probably the best option available for those of us who can't make it to the ocean often enough to sate a shrimp craving. The salmon dishes from their fresh fish menu are well spiced and tasty. Their fried shrimp is golden and crispy, though I wish the cocktail sauce tasted a bit stronger, and their scampi is a garlic-y alternative to breaded shrimp. They keep a tank of live lobster if you really want to splurge on some fresh seafood, but I'll never have the heart to order one. Prices can range anywhere from under $10 on the lunch menu to $30+ for the big seafood platters (though at least those platters will provide plenty of leftovers for the average diner). Their sides are a disappointing affair. The salads are full of pale lettuce and the crunchy center pieces. The clam chowder is better than canned, but still bland enough that I have to add pepper to it. The french fries are generic, the coleslaw tastes like they just dumped some mayo on cabbage, and the steamed broccoli has barely any flavor beyond "wet broccoli." It's tempting sometimes just to get the pasta to avoid choosing a side. Their appetizers, on the other hand, are far more appealing. Red Lobster has hands down my favorite cheesesticks -- they're smaller than average, but you get a ton of them. And, of course, the complimentary basket of cheddar bay biscuits is hard to resist despite the calorie count, so long as they're hot and fresh. The waitstaff keeps the table well stocked on those biscuits, if you let them, as well as bringing drink refills so quickly that I can barely keep up with it. The service is friendly and very attentive, making this a smooth dining experience. When it comes to seafood, I'd rather be in New Orleans, but while I'm stuck in Sioux City, Red Lobster will do. read more

Red Lobster - Strawberry Mojito and a tall Bud Light - Seafood Near Me - Sioux City, Iowa

Hubby and I walked in for lunch. We only saw one employee. We asked her if she was the only employee. She said yes. She was literally the hostess, waitress, bartender and busboy for the entire restaurant. There's no way one person can run an entire restaurant all by themselves. As pricey as Red Lobster is you'd think they'd be able to pay more than one employee besides the safety factor of only one person running the entire restaurant. She seemed very nice but needless to say we walked out. read more

Thought we were just going to have a nice family meal and got a nice surprise our waitresses name was Denise and she was wonderful. Thanks for the great service and amusing banter. read more

As always, this restaurant has phenomenal customer service and high-quality food, and always a fancy ambience. The biscuits from the appetizer are always an irresistible favorite and always oven fresh. Today, I had fried Wild-Caught Flounder with a side of Wild Rice Pilaf, and they were delicious. And for dessert, I had Brownie Overboard, and it was mighty delicious. My server and waitress Claudia was attentive and super-friendly, and the food came out faster than I was expecting. Five stars for the food, service, and atmosphere altogether. I know these restaurants can be pricey, but otherwise the food and service are always what you expect in a highly fancy restaurant like this one. read more

My boyfriend and another couple ate here on our way to the newly built Hard Rock Casino. They wanted lobster so it was here or Kahill's which was a little more than we were looking to spend. Service here is attentive and the building is very clean with a pleasant atmosphere. Lobsters turned out to be almost as expensive as Kahill's so my boyfriend and his friend got the lobster "bakes". They had lobster tails and all entrees come with salad and limitless cheddar biscuits. The biscuits are sooooo good and we ordered several rounds. I had the tilapia fish tacos which were an inexpensive but tasty option. Overall it's what you expect from a red lobster. Higher end, fast casual dining. The biscuits never disappoint and the food is always decent as is the atmosphere. read more

Would like to give this Red Lobster 5 stars. No can do! Here's why. Service was excellent. Place was very clean even the restroom. Server was polite, friendly although she had no suggestions. I ordered the seaman's platter. My food came quickly so no problem with that. I have eaten in Red Lobster's in 4 different states and this is the only one that i give 4 stars to. Have ordered the sailors/seaman's platter in all 4 and always had to ask for a box because couldn't eat it all. At this place the portions were very small so no take home box. The price was higher than any other Red Lobster i've been to. I have been here several times to stop at the end of my working day to have a glass of wine. This was the first time to eat here. The food was very good, well prepared but it left me going home hungry. And their wine selection left a lot to be desired. I do plan on going back to try their lobster pizza. read more

I had placed in order for pick up over the phone. I was in a hurry so i placed it ahead of time. It took me 20-25 minutes to get to red lobster and the food was supposed to be ready by then. When I got there they did not even have more order or name at all. It was going to take them another 15-20 to make my food. read more

What a rip off. Food was marginally ok, and EXTREMELY OVERPRICED. Service was good. Didn't have 2 brands of beer that the menu said they had, appetizer was horrible. Complined to the manager and he didn't adjust the bill. NEVER GO THERE. Cost over $100 for my wife and I to eat. Should have gone to Hardee's read more

Good food, I've been coming to this location for years. The only reason for such a low score is the poor service we received there from our waitress. Hardly attentive during our stay, and when we were ready to go, we were waiting for her to bring out a glass we had ordered with dinner. For 20 minutes we sat there with her running back and forth in front of us, ignoring us the entire time. We just got up and left. read more

Don't order the steak, it tastes like it's been frozen way too many times. Mealy. Biscuits are always good, that's a given. Food though... if you want to appease others who want to eat seafood, let them go alone. Even the chicken fingers that my son ordered had a fishy taste to them. Not returning, ever. read more

I have always love to Red Lobster ever since I was a kid although now and then it can feel a little dirty but the food is absolutely amazing

Started off good. Everything came just as we finished the previous course which was good. Lobster was severely over cooked. Daughter ordered bacon potato soup and didn't eat any. Tasted watery, previously frozen, and off. Come to find out it was claim chowder. They barely escaped paying an E. R. Bill. Entire meal was comped, but that could have been disastrous. Dine with care. read more

The hostess, Sydney N.-I have her last name but won't post it, was easily one of the worst, most unprofessional, and disrespectful person I have come across. An older man and woman were making comments about my 11 year old daughter having acne and her braid coming undone. My sister asked them to stop but they just made the same insults about my daughter's hair and skin louder and louder. I went over to them to ask them to stop and told them they should be ashamed for making fun of acne that my 11 year old is already self conscious of. Their comments got worse after that.I asked Sydney to please have a manager come speak with me-she didn't get the manager. My husband confronted them when he arrived. The hostess, Sydney N., was laughing at the comments made about my daughter and proceeded to tell me that taking the couple's picture was illegal. I asked her to please show me the law that says that is illegal. She laughed then said "I just work here." I told her to not offer legal advice then. She responded in a sarcastic tone and said she will give legal advice. The manager finally came to speak with us when we were seated. She was nice but made a lot of excuses for the hostesses behavior. The only reason we stayed was because it was my sisters birthday and that is where she chose to go. We will never go back. read more

Upon arriving at Red Lobster we were immediately seated by our waitress. She took our drink orders & suggested some appetizers. When she came back with our water, she informed us that they had No fresh fish of any kind. What kind seafood restaurant runs out of seafood?? Our group felt that management should of informed us immediately upon arriving rather than the waiting until we had been seated and ready to order. Needless to say, we did not stay and probably will not return any time soon. read more

I and a friend went for all you can eat shrimp, they sat us in a back corner where 2 employees seemed to be on break...they watched us like hawks, like we were going to fill our purses,,,,very uncomfortable! I will never go there again! Red Lobster is a zero star !!!! read more

I haven't had a positive experience at a RL in a long time. Hard biscuits, microwaved seafood, bad service, but this place was different. Everyone was casual, but friendly and very attentive. Glasses were spotless and food was more delicious than I remember when I was young. Great experience and excellent food. I was pleasantly surprised. read more

My mother likes to give us Darden gift certificates for anniversaries and birthdays so we found ourselves using one today at this Red Lobster. Normally I am not a fan of chain restaurants, but we had the gift certificates so decided to give this place a try. As soon as we walked in we were greeted by a super nice hostess who promptly sat us and didn't even get offended when I asked for a less traffic area after she had gone to the trouble to ready a table for the five of us. Immediately upon being seated we had the great pleasure of having Troy as our server and he was ready to roll. He brought us some yummy biscuits (which was appreciated as my 3 kids of course thought they were starving to death) straight away. Soon after we ordered, our salads (simple but delicious) were delivered and in perfect timing our main courses arrived. They were hot, very generously portioned and super fresh and great tasting. After we had had several bites the manager stopped by to make sure all was well. He was extremely nice and personable and mentioned how we must try the chocolate wave cake (more about that later). During our whole meal Troy was super attentive (without being annoying) and brought us what we needed without us having to ask for every little thing. He was very kind to my children who as per normal for kids were not always on their best behavior. You could tell he was/is a super hard worker cuz he always hustled to get our stuff in a timely manner. Lastly, my kids talked (ok they didn't have to try too hard) me into dessert. We did in fact have the chocolate wave cake and we also had the chocolate chip cookie lava thing. Both were very good...my daughter and my son both asked me if I would be offended if they said this was the best chocolate cake they've ever had (I bake a lot)! For those of you who may wonder if I know what good-quality food is....I do. I've been to some of the best restaurants throughout the entire United States. This rating is based on this being a chain restaurant and the type of food that you would expect from these establishments. read more

I ordered online with a 15% discount code. They over cooked all the seafood. Overdone lobster tail isn't a delight! No only this they forget an item on my order. We live all the way across town so no way was I going back for that item. After 3 attempts to get in touch with a manager and being transferred to a bar that didn't answer and the system hanging up on me each time. The young girl there finally gets a manager to get on the phone. Or so he says. He takes down all my info and says he will mail out a gift card to compensate. I'm fine with that. That was on a friday. By Thursday of next week I call back because the gift card wasn't received. The guy who answers the phone says he couldn't get ahold of the managers because they were ''really busy'' so he takes down my info and says he'll have them personally call me. They don't. I'm only upset because they lied! I don't go there to give them free money. That's stealing. And if they say they are going to do something then do it. The managers there are a bunch of DOPES! An its apparent by the horrible customer service I received that's how that run that place! I would avoid this place at all costs! The shrimp was mushy, the seafood over done, they forget items you order, and not only that the ''managers'' will lie to you and steal your money without giving you what you ordered unfortunately! read more

this review is long overdue, but people should get credit for a job well done. not only is the food SPECTACULAR but when I mentioned that I have an allergy to certain spices, the chef immediately came out to talk to me personally about the ingredients in the seasonings. i was very impressed! and the food was delicious. well done read more
