I've always liked this restaurant but took a chance here today. The menu is changed and not fit the better. Many long time favorites are gone. Upon entering the restaurant had a bad odor. Maybe 2 tables seated and us. Lobster tank is empty. The place look dirty and needs a massive re-do. We stayed and ate anyway. It was ok. My husband did not eat his shrimp pasta he said it tasted bad. It was ok but I won't be coming back sadly. Shame read more

Food was great the server Gabby' was very helpful and great service .We enjoyed our dinner and our food

Always a fan of red lobster for dinner. I ordered the paperdella lobster with garlic sauce which was really tasty. My husband got the margarita flight which was interesting- all tropical flavors and kinda sweet. He wished it had more alcohol. The drinks came out slow, and service was a little on the slow side. I think we were there for 2 hours and we came in at 5 when it wasn't busy. The waiter was friendly and great with the kids. My husband got a mix of lobster, crab and shrimp and it was very delicious. I tried the crab which I liked. The free biscuits are also a bonus. Will be back, but hope service is faster. read more

Red Lobster - Yum! - Seafood Near Me - Talleyville, Delaware

Disgusting. I had crab legs there and wound up in the emergency room. Seafood poisoning. An entire week I wasn't able to eat anything hardly even water. It was the worst experience. Had to fight tooth and nail to get a refund and they didn't even care. I used to love crab legs and now I can't even think about them. Avoid! read more

Placed an order on line and paid for it. They couldn't find it when I got there. When they did find it and got home everything was cold even the biscuits. The broccoli was soggy and spoiled. Called to complain and they never answered the phone. read more

My granddaughter was visiting from Ft Meade and wanted Red Lobster, always her fav. We drove out of our way only to be disappointed. It was around 3-4 pm, not really busy, on a weekday. We stood waiting to be seated while observing staff visiting with one another - almost like we didn't exist. No acknowledgement we were even present despite their seeing us. We were seated in a section apart from other customers; with only one wait staff in the area, we were soon forgotten. After a period of time, she took our order. The caesar salad came out with so much dressing that it was not edible. Clearly seeing I'd tried to wipe off most of the dressing with napkins (didn't help) the waitress saw I couldn't eat it - yet never inquired what was wrong. She returned with the entrees and that was the last we saw her until we asked for more biscuits, then later for boxes and the check. There was not one time she came on her own free will to ask how we were doing or if we wanted refills. She paid attention to the other diners and talked quite frequently among staff. It was a special occasion that went by the wayside due to whatever attitude she was having. (And we didn't give her any reason to act this way.) Rest assured, I will not return to this establishment. read more

The Customer service is great. The server was so nice. Unfortunately, it took forever to get our food which makes the unlimited shrimp not worth it. I only visited for the unlimited shrimp because I thought it was a good deal. It took them at least 40 minutes in between order to make the order. I was only able to order 3 times in total which equates to a total of 7 portions. After the first 3 portions they're super small, so I don't understand why it took so long. It took them 40 minutes to grill 8 shrimps, 4 on each skewer. That's literally crazy. The best things in this deal is the grilled shrimp skewers, followed by the crispy dragon shrimp. Nonetheless, only get the endless shrimp if you have hours on end to spare to wait for your food. read more

Red Lobster - Unlimited shrimp - Seafood Near Me - Talleyville, Delaware

I got the pappardelle pasta is the picture that shows up on Yelp when you click on the reviews I forgot to take a picture of it if I had known how bad it was going to be I definitely would have took a picture of it never get Pappardelle pasta with crab from Rocky run Red lobster. I have some left over next morning and it made me sick just to open the refrigerator and smell it so I guess I'm going to throw it out. It was very overpriced so it's unfortunate that I wasted all that money was the most expensive thing on the menu I was treating myself for my birthday. I guess I have to click on a Star to get this posted unfortunately. read more

Bourgeois people like to hate on the Lob, but I almost always enjoy myself. This last time I learned a valuable hack: There was a half hour wait so we went to sit at the bar and the bartender asked if we wanted menus. Funk yeah, my dude. Eating at the bar, the drinks were fast and ice cold and then the food was the hottest and freshest I've ever had at the Lob. My dinner companion was also hella enthused about her meal. I'm sure lots of people know this hack, but I was today years old when I tried it. read more

Tried the seafood boil today and it wasn't bad at all. Kisha was amazing and provided 10/10 service. She's the type of person who makes the food taste better with her kindness and personality. She maintained great communication, humility and patience the entire time... We will visit again soon and hope to have her again! read more

I frequent this Red Lobster with my grandchildren. I recently went there with my granddaughter and she raved about her salmon and broccoli meal. I enjoyed the shrimp special. Our server was Jennifer and she was great. We order things a certain way and she got everything perfect. She then checked back periodically to make sure all was OK and to see if we needed any refills, etc. She was very friendly, prompt, and accurate. We felt welcome and couldn't ask for more. The restaurant was quiet and clean and everyone was friendly from the host to our server. read more

I visited Red Lobster - Talleyville very recently w/family to celebrate a birthday. The long & short of this review is that: A. The restaurant was clean. B. The space provided was sufficient, as I would assume that most parties w/9+ guests are typically seated in the private dining room of the restaurant. C. Our server, who I will refer to as "Dee" for the purpose of this review, went over, above and beyond to accommodate us! She had personality, engaged w/each of us, offered choice menu options, visited our table periodically to ensure we were taken care of & she rounded up a few other staff to assist w/singing "Happy Birthday" w/us. Honestly, "Dee" was an amazing server who truly seems to love what she does while making guests feel comfortable during their visit. * If you're ever in the area or looking to host a dinner there & you're expecting a larger party, BE SURE to request "Dee" for your visit! You WON'T be disappointed. * D. The food & beverages were great, prepared well & flavorful, served hot and arrived in a timely manner. Compliments to the chef; to the manager (I believe her name is "Stephanie" -- earnest apologies if I'm incorrect); to the host(s) who greeted us; and a nod to Mr. Damola Adamolekun, newly-minted CEO. It was an overall awesome & enjoyable dining experience. We'd absolutely return & hope to in the near future. Thank you all for reading & thank you, Red Lobster! read more

today I order this trash of seafood bag with lobster. At this location, the Indian guy the suppose to be manager was rude and did not want to fixed our order. the food was nasty and the seafood was not boiled and seasoned. I a place order over the phone and he claimed it wasn't them that placed the order it's was the call center. I paid for a shrimp scampede and they gave me shrimp offsprings ewwwwww for 9.00 as a meal no side. I also order the seafood bag nastyyyyyyyyyyyyy. please save your money and let this company burn the new owner did not do a come back what he did is another rerun of a massive close out ASAP. read more

Service was good. Food came in big portions. Lots of flavors and very tasteful! What more could you ask for from a Red Lobster? Didnt like the ambiance though. We sat right next to the kitchen. It was so loud. Why even have a table there? read more

The citrusy offspring of a lemon tree was more exquisite and sour than its predecessor which was frankly atrocious. This one had a hint of sweetness that kept me begging for more, but I had to remind myself that I am looking for a sour and citrusy flavor, this therefore shall justify my 3 star rating. read more

Red Lobster always has classic and delicious seafood choices. Had a meal with my boyfriend after shopping. We ordered a bottle of the sweet red wine. Priced affordable especially for 2 for 2 drinks each plus left over. I got the 1lb snow crab clusters as an entree. Snow crab is always delicious but it seemed they may have sat in water for too long and was harder to crack. My boyfriend for the lobster alfredo linguine. Portions were excellent with great lobster amount. Broccoli was seasoned and cooked perfectly. The lobster bisque disappoints always so we steered toward the clam chowder. delicious and filling. Service was slow. Took a while to seat in definitely not a full restaurant. Waitress kinda slammed down our bottle of wine and forgot my caesar salad. After being sat with a large table our service picked up. Overall the food was good. Service was satisfactory read more

What an interesting time I had here this evening. First of all my date and I bickered endlessly so neither of us was in a particularly good mood and apparently we weren't the only ones because maybe within ten minutes of us sitting down a woman was up at the front requesting a manager. A withered older man came out of the kitchen and the woman began voicing her complaint. In between the argument at my own table and the one a few feet away, I could hear the lady say something about the portion size being small and not how she remembered it. I don't know what kind of accommodation she was looking for but the manager wasn't giving it to her. The lady then complained about the unprofessionalism of the man and her server. She went back to her table and the manager went back to his kitchen. But that would not be the end of the matter. Not by a long shot. I don't know how much time passed by, I did have my cheesy biscuits by now, but the lady was back on her feet and clearly agitated with her server. Then she got loud, real loud. What ensued was a verbal assault on the young server who was trying to defend herself. There was an accusation about food being tampered with, food being taken away and what wasn't going to be paid for. The lady wanted the manager again and again he came out. The young server was dispatched to the kitchen where she began to pound on the wall loudly at least five times then she came back and went outside. This whole scene went on and on, by then we had our two seafarers feasts, and escalated to the point where I was sure police would be called. Even our own server who was attentive and comical remarked loudly to the dining room that the disgruntled diner was making this an unpleasant event for everyone involved. I almost burst out laughing but instead kept nibbling and bickering at my own table. I don't know how the matter was resolved but the manager ended the disruption with a parting shot saying "I'm not the one" and if you have no idea what that means colloquially check the Urban dictionary lol. read more

Always yummy! I've been going to red lobster since I was I was a child. It never disappoints. The food is always delicious. My only complaint is that the server brought us fried green beans which we thought was complimentary for our wait but they billed us. I was appalled because we never ordered the green beans so I'm not sure why the were added to our bill. So now I have to take take out of my day to get reimbursed. Unfortunately read more

My family went there today at 3:40 pm and we wait for a server to seat us, 2 walk by didn't address us and went to the kitchen, I look around and see two other seating at the bar, one looks at me and still no one would address us, not one person said we will be with you , nothing! waited a few more minutes then we walk out . won't go back!! they need to retrain them proper etiquette or put a sign up saying sit where you want? they definitely ignore you when you walk in. there should definitely be a manager there at all times not in a office to keep an eye on the front of the house because their servers are horrible!!!! read more

Arrived around 2:30-3 pm on a Saturday. There were about 6-8 parties within the whole restaurant. Person at the front seemed timid and advised our wait would be 20-25 minutes. Again, no one really in the restaurant. We were seated after 5 minutes. Waitress came after about 5 minutes and we put in drinks. Drinks took about 20 Minutes to come to table. Appetizers were delivered with food and we asked for extra Cajun seasoning on pasta. Unfortunately we were not given that. Boxes were given but as bad to track someone down for bags. Better off ordering curbside and taking food home like we normally do. Seemed like it was hard for them to do the basics. read more

Food was great. Service was poor. I just walked in on a weeknight and it seemed slow. However, my takeout wasn't out yet so I sat at the bar. The servers were friendly and food was good BUT it took 40 minutes to be ready. Why? Maybe it would've been sooner if I was dining in. Unfortunately I will likely not find out. read more

Nice family restaurant...ambiance, food & service was good ! Our waitress was very customer focused. I'd return for future dining.

We haven't been to RL in a while but were very pleased with our experience at lunch today, around 2 pm on a Friday. The place was not very busy. An attentive and friendly server and some nice specials for food and drinks. My salmon bowl with Brussel sprouts was delicious and my wife got coconut shrimp. The service was fast and the server checked back frequently. We will definitely be back to this location in future! read more

Normally, I love Red Lobster but my last experience not so much . I decided to go for my birthday this particular night . I'm not sure if it was a new cook or just a bad night but the food was disgusting! No flavor whatsoever . I asked for seasoning and it still wasn't satisfying. I didn't even eat my food I sent it back . The waiter seemed so uninterested as well and I felt rushed. read more

Our waitress was very sweet and friendly, but the lag time between walking in, ordering, and getting our food was very long -they were not busy. It took over 30 minutes for us to get our food -and we only saw one other table of people. Further, the food was not cooked correctly. I ordered the shrimp pasta and it was literally soup. The flavor profile for this particular pasta was there, but the sauce was soup-like and did not stick to the noodles. I only ate 2 bites. At the end of our meal, I mentioned it to the waitress and she did offer to get me something else after acknowledging that the dish was not like it was supposed to be. I told her I was hopeful it would thicken overnight -it unfortunately did not. Perhaps the sauce was not fresh and they added milk to stretch it? I'm not sure -but it was obviously incorrectly executed. For a $20 dish, I would have expected more from the chef. The sauce was as thin as milk and obviously botched. The biscuits were delicious. Fresh and hot. read more

This was my first time at red lobster and wow!! I'm so mad nobody told me how GREAT these biscuits were. They're CRACK. I couldn't stop eating them. Then the coconut fried shrimp, to die for. Everything was absolutely amazing. I pigged out and need to return to red lobster atleast once a month from now on because I can't get over how good the food was. Would recommend. The biscuits gave me so much life. And they're unlimited! I'm sold. read more

We couldn't wait for lunch! Christmas gift card in hand, we decided to go to red lobster, 1pm on a workday Wednesday, the place was empty, we were greeted at the door, very friendly staff, almost too friendly. We were sat immediately, and drinks were ordered almost at the same time, HOWEVER it took forever for our drinks to come, our waitress was too interested in talking with a friend who was at a nerby booth, in an almost empty restaurant there conversation overtook the whole restaurant and me and my fiance just sat there...waiting....and more waiting...food took too long to come for an empty restaurant. While we just watch our waitress joke and talk to her friend about out of work adventures. Upon getting our food which was fantastic, as it always is at any red lobster location....we ate and wanted dessert, the cheesecake was phenomenal, when again it finally showed up in a "to go" container so we felt rushed and pressed to leave. I asked for the bill immediately and paid instantly the waitress asked if I wanted my change? Of course I do. We then waited 15mins for her to return in an empty restaurant to bring back my change, and was informed the manager had to run somewhere for change...Being rushed, but being held in, it wasn't a pleasent experience, the food awesome, the staff not so much! I will eat at red lobster again but never at this location. read more

Red Lobster - Empty Red Lobster - Seafood Near Me - Talleyville, Delaware

I visited Red Lobster only because i got gift cards for my birthday. I am not a fan of chain restaurants, simply because of the food quality and service. We had 5 people in our party and the hostess informed us of a 20 minute wait. As we walked to the bar we noticed empty tables all throughout the restaurant. I got so mad i questioned their rationale of a 20 minute wait. Their response was our serves are too busy to take any other tables, that does not that even sound right. Now on to the dinner. My food was prepared well and my wife love the lobster tacos. we were all pleasantly surprised with our food. But i unfortunately became allergic to something inside my dinner. i needed to take benadryl to counteract my reaction. It ruined our dinner and i would never eat their again i gave RL 2 stars because the waitress was attentive and alert, thus making our dinner pleasant. read more

I think this is location is par for the course with other Red Lobsters that I've been too. Really busy but not special at all and kinda a mess. I wouldn't have picked here by my bf was obsessed with the crabfest promotion they currently have. Our server John was nice and I felt for him because he said tonight was the fourth double shift in a row he had to work but he lagged on EVERYTHING. I ordered a strawberry margarita and it wasn't until after our salads came out that he brought it. Also, my boyfriend spilled his beer and we needed more napkins which we asked about and never got. Finally my dad just asked the greeter if we could get more and she gave us a huge stack. The biscuits are amazing as I remembered and John did great in bringing us more when we needed it. The margarita was pretty tasty too. The food was kinda bland, but then again I love seafood restaurants that do fresh seafood and have spoiled myself. read more

This Red Lobster is in a strip mall that is basically a row of restaurants, so parking is abundant. One major problem with this Red Lobster is they don't take reservations. That guarantees you'll have to wait if you have a large group. Even so, how was it reasonable that our group of 10 had to wait *2 hours* to be seated? That was terrible. Once seated though, I thought service was okay. The server did bring out more biscuits when we finished them and asked for more. I thought the food was good enough. Not great, but good. We were there during the endless shrimp promotion. I have to say though that "endless shrimp" comes with pretty significant limitations. You're served the salad first and the first round of shrimp only after you're done with that. Then each refill of shrimp takes a while to prepare and is only about 10 shrimp or so. Since it took so long for our group to be seated, I couldn't get very many shrimp refills before the restaurant closed for the night. So it is probably not worth going to Red Lobster just for that. Food and speed of service issues aside, the restaurant dining area and restroom looked clean. Facilities appear to be in good condition. There is wi-fi internet, although I have no idea where it was coming from. read more

Haven't been to red lobster in years so I'm not sure what I was expecting. I'll list the positives first, the cheddar biscuits were good of course and our drinks, (the high tide, and sunset passion colada) were pretty good. The cons, food was extremely over priced in my opinion for the quality. The half portion of crab Alfredo was $15...which would have been understandable were it not pieces of salty claw crab meat as opposed to actual chunks of meat as was described in the menu. The drinks were pretty good until I realized they were pretty overpriced considering I couldn't taste an ounce of liquor in either drink. We also ordered the coconut shrimp Appetizer which tasted like everything else that was in the fryer that day. All in all it was worth the $70 spent and I won't be going back without reason. read more

Come to this particular Red Lobster location if you want to be treated like filth! After coming here regularly for around 2 years I came in recently and had a less-than-stellar experience. I decided to write in via the website to express my discontent and got a voicemail message the next day from the general manager named Drew. He said he would be in today after 3 so I stopped by at 3:20 with the intention of speaking to him briefly and then enjoying an early dinner. When I came inside I told the hostess I was there to see Drew and gave her my name. She disappeared for a few minutes and then came back and started taking me to an area where people were interviewing for jobs. I clarify for her that I was not there for a job interview but was in fact coming to speak to Drew regarding a voicemail. She disappeared again and then came back to get me and said he was in the middle of an interview and started taking me back to a desolate section of the restaurant where no one else was at. I then asked her whether I would be able to order food there and she said "Oh you wanna eat?!" At this point it was clear I was dealing with a half wit who doesn't know how to do her job, so I said perhaps it would be best if I went and waited in the front area until Drew was available to speak with me and then I could be seated to have a meal after. This seemed to distress her for some reason and as she was walking me back to the front we encountered an elderly man with a name tag that said "Ed." She said I could talk to him, and he said "Come over here" and started walking. So I followed like a lap dog as he sat down with an application in his hand, so I said "Again to clarify, I'm not here for a job interview, as I mentioned to her." He looks down his nose at me and in this condescending tone he goes "Then why ARE you HERE?" I said "I'm here to follow up with a complaint but this is kind of a mess." He goes "Its not a mess." As if he has any idea what's going on. So I just said "Clearly it's better if I just leave," and he goes "Byeeee" in a mocking tone. So again, if you want to deal with inept condescending people who have no interest in the value of customers, this is the place for you! read more

The first time I visited a Red Lobster was probably back in 2009. And this year I returned because of those commercials for the lobster fest that's happening. I love seafood and lobsters so when I was in Delaware and happened to be nearby the location, my boyfriend and I went in. The food was very good and service as well. Surprisingly, it was my boyfriend's first time here. We are total foodies but we do prefer local restaurants over franchise places. Red Lobster is rather pricey and if I could, I would probably choose to head to Maine for cheaper selections. But it is one of those days where I will end up at a franchise because of convenience. read more

Red Lobster - Seafood Near Me - Talleyville, Delaware

Service here is atrocious and the food subpar. Came into the restaurant at the same time as another couple. They were seated first. We put in an order for drinks and appetizers . One half of the drink order and biscuits arrived. After 15 min, Tried to get the attention of the server, who is taking the order of the first couple. After having been in the store for 20 minutes I went to the bar to try to find the missing drink. After 30 minutes and still no action I asked for the manager. He came over and tried to appease us with discount cards only good for April and May 2024. We finally got the appetizer after having been in the place 50 minutes. The first couple got their food before we did. Finally after having been in the place an hour the rest of the food arrived. Lobster was overcooked and rubbery and the lobster Pizza had way too much oregano such that it dominated the flavor. Only the broccoli was appropriately cooked. It took us only about 10 minutes to eat and then another 20 minutes to get the check and be able to leave. I've been here before won't return. read more
