We went for lobster fest. It was very slow which worked out well because the service was great and the food was too. Our server was in training but he did a great job. He was very attentive to our needs without being annoying. The food came out hot and fresh and we had no complaints or issues at all. These days that is rare. It's hard to find consistency. read more

The food was amazing! Ordered all you can eat shrimp and the lobster dip! Both incredible, and the rolls were extremely fresh and so tasty. Our server lance was great he was very accommodating. We will definitely be back! read more

We waited 15 minutes without being acknowledged. Waitstaff went by us several times. Eventually we left due to no one offering a drink or seeing if we were ready to order. Very sad for a restaurant that is trying to come back. Will not come back to this location. read more

At the beginning my service was great! Jade A. was so sweet and on it! Her hospitality alone made me feel so welcomed. I had a very stressful day and little does she know, she helped. I got the lobster lovers dream with shrimp Alfredo. The Alfredo was a bit bland for me. I always enjoy red lobster's meat and butter. As they use REAL butter. So it's sweet and salty and amaze balls. My bread was fresh and my baked potato as good too. If you're here, I hope you get Jade A.! Now the bad part... A bit insensitive eh. The hostess and a few older women were making a funny about being immigrants and coming over on a boat. During black history month? When I'm the only person of color besides Jade my wonderful waitress? Yeah, nah that ruffled my feathers read more

We gave this place plenty of chances, every time we've eaten there for curb side pick up, the food was always old, cold and disgusting, you complain to the managers, you don't get a response back from them at all, and, if you order in, some of their wait staff is very rushed, rude, and, the drink you order, is the drink you'll wear, no apologies, just laughter from the mouths of clowns. Do yourself a favor by definitely skipping this place, overpriced food for garbage quality. It's pretty sad and also says a lot about the business when the so called restaurant manager trolls, and attempts to intimidate in hopes that the bad review will be removed, do your job properly and maybe your patrons wouldn't be so displeased with your service. read more

On 7/28/2025 I met a friend for lunch at the Rochester Hills location. The crab legs were tasteless and horrible, especially for the price! She ordered lobster and shrimp and said the lobster was rubbery. Do NOT waste your money at this restaurant! Your money would be better spent at a McDonald's. read more

Carl our server was the bomb! He was attentive and very friendly! The food was AMAZING and the ambiance was quiet because it was early in the day. I definitely will go back. read more

Their prices are too darn high. I'm sure the food is good. But the seafood is too expensive.

Overall good food. The bread is always amazing. I tried the new Dragon chilli calamari and it was wow, very flavourful. The inside is nice and perfect for a family gathering. Our server was Orgetta, and she was so so sweet. She was very compassionate, and patient. She treated my parents like her parents and made sure we were well taken care of. read more

Ya know. It's Red Lobster. It's corporate seafood for an (unfortunately increasing) middling price. My daughter and I were going to go next door at the fellow Darden restaurant Olive Garden. It was clear we weren't searching for anything extraordinary. Just hungry after shopping in the mostly desolate mall next door. OG was a 45 minute wait and we were headed for hangry. So, we crossed the parking lot to Red Lobster. We were seated quickly, our waiter was kind, and we had the yummy Cheese Biscuits in short order. We had to find something to accommodate her vegetarian desires. We opened with the fried beans with jalapeño ranch. They were quite tasty and we gobbled them up. She settled on the Baja bowl with shrimp on the side (which would go home with me). She reported it was good and satisfying. I had Walt's shrimp trio with shrimp Alfredo (which wasn't wonderful), shrimp scampi (which was good) and Walt's shrimp (which was quite good). I had the side salad with blue cheese and the loaded potato. My only disappointment really came when I realized I could have gotten the same or better with their Endless Shrimp for about the same price. Still we took about half of the food home, so I couldn't complain about not having enough by any means. The bill was heftier than expected but post-pandemic I suppose this is the new normal. All in all it was just another average meal at Red Lobster. A straightforward 3. read more

I'll never eat here again. I will start off by saying our server was very kind and sweet. The food was terrible for my partner and I. I ordered a medium well steak and it was a chewy mess. I really don't like writing reviews like this but I wouldn't even serve that to ANYONE. The snow crab legs were old maybe I don't know but they tasted horrible. The fries were the only good thing we ordered. I don't recommend the calamari either. I really wanted to like this place but I think it's time for them to shut down. read more

We had very good food and a great waiter. I believe his name was Jeff. Very attentive and we could tell he was very experienced and took pride in his service to us. I had the Asian salmon with roasted Brussel sprouts. Very good! I also ordered a sangria. Best sangria I've had in a long time. My friend had a shrimp pasta dish and said it was very good also! All in all, a great atmosphere and great food! read more

I joined the waitlist through the app, but when I arrived they did not have my name in their system. I even showed the hostess my text I received when I joined the waitlist. We're staying to eat, but we won't ever be back. EDIT - Also showed the hostess the email I received when I joined the waitlist verifying that I had joined the waitlist at their location. I was upset with the situation and ended up leaving without eating. read more

Soso restaurant . I. Thought it was slightly better than average for a chain. Place was clean and service above average

I don't get all the 1 star reviews in here. I think it's just a bunch of people who like to complain. My cousin and I eat at this location quite often, and we have never had a bad experience with the food or service! Very nice atmosphere as well. They haven't changed too much in a while, so I guess it has that feeling of going back home! Highly recommended! read more

I couldn't afford Lobsterfest, so I created my own meal and loved it! I ordered the Mussels Appetizer (good sized serving) which came with a crusty toasted garlic roll. Knowing that the mussels were cooked in a Butter-fresh Tomato liquid, I ordered a side of plain Linguine (no sauce) as a base. That made the best Entree, half of which went home for dinner. I also ordered a side of Broccoli to round out my meal. Three of us shared the warm Lobster-Artichoke dip, which was good. read more

I've noticed that bottomless shrimp tends to be delivered slowly to the point of spending longer at the restaurant waiting than you may like. HOWEVER it's not always that bad and the prices are fair. So this is an update after a better experience! Ending on a positive note, everything on the menu that I've tried has been more than tasty read more

It's fairly decent for a chain. Management cares, and that makes a difference in their quality of food and presentation. I happened to be staying in the area in a local hotel so I ended up patronizing this place most because they were consistent, friendly and on point with the food. Don't expect gourmet, it's all Sysco delivered food but they do a great job! read more

There to-go is a joke. I went there for a dozen biscuits, and arrived when they told me to. Order was for curbside so I called them to let them know I arrived. They said they would be right out. 5minutes go by...10 minutes go by...15 minutes go by. I call again. They say they forgot about me and are coming out now. 5minutes go by...10 minutes go by...15 minutes go by. I call again. They hang up. I go inside to retrieve my curbside pickup. There is maybe 5 tables with at least 10 servers to wait on them. I waited at the to go counter and watched as waiters would avoid making eye contact and run right past the window. It took ANOTHER 15 minutes before some came to the window to get my order. If this was an isolated incident I wouldn't worry about it cause shit happens, but every time I order from this location it's the same song and dance. read more

I know Red Lobster has a ton of reviews, but I thought I'd add one. Went to the Hall Rd in Sterling Heights location on a Saturday evening. Expected to wait & was told 20 minutes. Waited 30 minutes, which was more like I thought. The hostess led us to a table & while we were getting seated, she came back & asked us to move to another table, due to a large group coming in. We obliged, no problem. When we were seated, the waiter, Jakob B, came over & informed us they would give us an appetizer at no charge since we changed our seats! Nice, especially since it was not an inconvenience to us. I had the create your own feast & my husband had the Bar Harbor bake. Both were excellent. Jakob, our waiter, was attentive without being overbearing. The food came out quick & hot. As usual, the rolls were good too. Our experience was great mostly due to our waiter. He was excellent. People at tables around us were complaining about the long wait for food, but ours came out quickly, thanks to Jakob! Overall, a great dinner. read more

My mom Loves Red Lobster so we took her here for Mother's Day. They were super busy so luckily I had made a reservation and we were seated immediately which was great. Honestly I haven't been to a red lobster in a long time and the food this time was way better! I ordered the ultimate feast. The lobster tail was a good size and the way they butterfly it makes it super easy to eat. The shrimp was very tasty also. Crab legs were not bad. And of coarse the unlimited cheddar bay biscuits! They were served fresh and hot! They were busy so they ran out and we had to wait for the new batch to come out but they were delicious. Our server was nice. He kept up on refills despite being a busy day. Our food came out pretty quickly. My sons order took a bit longer to make its way out I think the food runner missed it because as soon as the server noticed it was brought out. Good service, good food. I,d recommend making a reservation because it got busy quick. read more

2018-05-20. So the last time I ate here they had made to order pastas. Well, it didn't last... We came because I was actually craving their shrimp scampi. I was hoping they had the AYCE shrimp deal going, but nothing doing. The current special was a Create Your Own (CYO) seafood trio for 16 bucks. Our server was pleasant and took our drink order and then left us to peruse the menu. When she came back she had a basket of Cheddar Bay biscuits with her, a great start. We ordered a Lobster Pizza, the Kids Shrimp Skewer, and two of the CYO trios. The trios allowed you to select a dish from each of three categories. The 1st category was your pasta specialties; the 2nd category was your classic flavors; and the third was a twist on the classics. Of course, we had to try everything that was new, so our 1st trio consisted of the Shrimp & Lobster Pasta, the Crab Topped Shrimp Skewer, and the Parmesan Truffle Scampi; the 2nd trio had the Shrimp Linguini Alfredo, the Garlic Shrimp Scampi, and the last of the new dishes, the Spring Roll Crusted Shrimp. Lobster Pizza. Not a new item, we had this before and it was decent to the best of my recollection. It was not different this time around. Same thin crust, a standard portion of lobster meat (mostly claw, but some tail to), tomatoes, basil, and cheese. The crust was cooked nicely and was not soggy despite the tomatoes. Still 4 stars. Kids Shrimp Skewer. Essentially the same as the adult skewer, six decent sized shrimps (30-40 ct) grilled and served with orange wedges. The grill was light and it's only flavoring salt. More of an appetizer than a meal, 3 stars. Shrimp & Lobster Pasta. Linguini cooked in what looked to be a buttery wine cream sauce. The shrimp was your tiny 51-60 ct, but was OK since they used a fair amount. Again the lobster was a mix of tail and claw meat. The pasta was cooked fully, but not overcooked. The sauce was fantastic! Firing many senses of the palate with the first bite. The sauce was not thick nor runny. It did not contain wine, nor was it too acidic. At the same time the sauce was not creamy, but I'm sure it started out that way. To be honest, I not sure what they did to thin it out, but in doing so they also added lots of flavor. 4,5 stars. Crab Topped Shrimp Skewer. Essentially the same kids skewer, but topped with crab meat and butter... and that made a world of difference. 4 stars. Parmesan Truffle Scampi. I was very curious on this take of land and sea as truffle is a very powerful flavor. As it turned out, I was pleasantly surprised. They wisely used truffle rather than top the dish off with the oil which greatly toned down the earthly shrooms. The buttery scampi was still the star of the show and the parmesan was baked to a nice crisp to give it a new texture. The Shrimps are bigger than when I had it with the bottomless shrimp deal (30-40 ct from 50-60 ct), and so is the dish it's cooked in, but to offset, you get fewer. Still an improvement in my opinion, and even better than the classic! 5 stars. Spring Roll Crusted Shrimp. The concept of tempura shrimp, but with spring roll wrapper. The wrapper was cooked to a nice crisp and they provided a sweet, sour, and spicy sauce to go with it. The sauce was interesting, sweet at first, a little plummy, then a small kick in the end. Not great, but not bad either. They stuck with the 31-40 ct shrimp for this dish and I think it's where they fell short. I think they should have went with a bigger shrimp and fewer pieces to better balance out the wrapper to shrimp ratio. 2,5 stars. Shrimp Linguini Alfredo. The alfredo was as good as I remember it, nice and creamy, and the pasta was again cooked thoroughly without overcooking it. The shrimps were the smaller 50-60 ct and they used the same amount as with the shrimp and lobster pasta. The difference here is that there was no lobster, so they should have doubled up on the shrimp IMO. No doubt, the sauce carried this dish, and sadly the protein just went along for the ride. 4 stars for the sauce less 1 for the shrimps, 3 stars overall. The Garlic Shrimp Scampi was the reason why I came as I stated from the onset, and here it didn't disappoint. There were fewer shrimps in the dish, but they were bigger than I remember them. A trade I'd make any day. I'd normally give this dish 5 stars, but after tasting their new Parmesan Truffle Scampi, I'd say we have a new King! Sadly, I have to knock this one down half a notch to give the new King the recognition it deserves. I hope they give the Parmesan Truffle Scampi a permanent spot on their menu. Overall, their new dishes continue to surprise me; they fared better this time around than they did with their made-to-order pastas, so I'll be rounding them up rather than down. 4 stars.
