I haven't been back to a Red Lobster since the whole 'AYCE Shrimp' fiasco, bankruptcy, and changing of CEO occurred. But the brand used to be THE fancy place to go while growing up for me, and was sometimes a family dinner stop for my wife's family...so it has fond memories But the ones close by have closed down, and my last visit wasn't good. But this location being so close to a store that we needed to go to, made me want to try it again for a weekend lunch. So I didn't do any searching for online menus and prices; my wife, mother-in-law, and I just went. And it turned out great. It's a large dining space, and it was empty when we came in the early afternoon on a Thursday, with nobody manning the front. It gave me time to examine the sad lobster tank. But soon, the hostess noticed us and guided us to a choice of booth (chosen) or bar seating. Many different pages of menus were given, and our server came over to give us ice water, a basket of cheddar bay biscuits and take our drink order. We munched on the good cheddar bay biscuits while perusing the menu (the biscuits have changed in appearance...whereas before, the tops looked like Guy Fieri's head, now it is more similar to Telly Savalas). All of us focused on the lunch menu, knowing we could share. Weekday Shrimp Trio ($17.99) - not available on the weekend, and with no substitutions, the trio consisting of shrimp scampi, shrimp linguine Alfredo, Popcorn Shrimp with french fries as a side. To my surprise, the best thing by far was the popcorn shrimp. Red Lobster debuted this in 1974, copying the idea of Cajun popcorn (crawfish), and I now believe I've never had it here before. I'm used to popcorn shrimp being tiny salad shrimp, with a thick batter: more deep fried batter than actual shrimp. This was very different: this was chopped up pieces of a much larger shrimp, lightly battered and deep fried. It was really good, and shows off the deep frying capabilities of Red Lobster. The fries were also very good: plentiful, lightly battered and expertly deep fried. Including the shrimp scampi (just OK) and the alfredo (very rich so the small portion was just right) made this dish a bargain and a good choice for someone who loves shrimp. Endless Soup, Salad, Biscuits ($11.99) - chose House Salad with a green salad mix, chopped tomatos. Very ordinary. But the lobster Bisque was enjoyed by my wife, especially with the never-ending supply of biscuits. She only needed one bowl, and gave the salad to her mom (Thousand Island not available so chose Citrus Lime Vinaigrette instead). Walt's Favorite Shrimp ($17.99) - eight pieces of lightly battered, tail-on, butterflied shrimp, with choice of side (mashed potato in this case). The shrimp was really good, and the mashed potatoes being enjoyed by Mom. Payment is taken at the table. It still was pretty empty when we left, but the news is that Red Lobster is doing better. Glad to hear it, with the food quality and value menu leading the way. read more

So, I haven't been to Red Lobster in AGES! Probably close to a decade. But recently I was craving lobster; something I wouldn't call a "favorite" food of mine, but nonetheless a food for which I do get a once-in-a-blue-moon craving. Because it's a chain restaurant, people often assume and expect the worst. And I'll freely admit that I didn't have terribly high expectations myself. Which was unfortunate because the meal I received was not only good, it was in fact fantastic! Precisely because Red Lobster is a rare visit for me I decided to splurge. They have a combo platter where you can choose between - if I recall correctly - two, three, or four entrees. Because it was "Lobsterfest" I ordered the combo platter with a Maine lobster tail, shrimp scampi, Walt's shrimp (fried), and a sirloin steak. Yes dear reader, I decided to pig out! Which is especially funny since I usually tend to be a light eater. The lobster was perfect. Absolutely perfect. Likewise, both shrimp dishes were tasty and properly cooked. The biggest surprise however was the sirloin steak. I love a good filet, and sometimes a New York strip. But sirloin generally isn't my favorite. It's tough to cook it such that the steak is tender enough and flavorful enough. So I was very pleasantly surprised that this was the best sirloin steak I've had in a long, long time. Really tasty, not at all tough, and I got the sense it was actually pretty good quality beef (which I wouldn't have expected). Service was a little slow at times, especially when we were done and wanted to pay the bill and leave. Took what seemed like forever to get the waiter's attention. But I think he was also covering more tables than normal; a difficult spot for a waiter. Given how delicious the meal was I can let it slide. Overall, the meal was significantly better than I expected. Anyone who would casually write-off Red Lobster simply because it's a chain should maybe reconsider. I would absolutely go again and in fact will likely do so this summer. I have attached a picture of my actual platter. Of course, I did enhance the picture in a manner I thought fitting given how great the meal was. LOL! read more

Red Lobster - My "Lobsterfest" meal at Red Lobster was...heavenly! - Seafood Near Me - Tigard, Oregon

Got the endless shrimp and was very impressed with the quality of food, speed of service, and overall experience. I wish I caught our server's name because she was so delightful and had to deal with THE WORST customers across from us. She handled these customers who had a nearly $200 bill and only tipped $5 with grace, patience, and kindness. I'll likely be back! read more

I had a great experience. I showed up knowing what I would get, and I didn't get food poisoning. So that's a huge plus. Haaaaay!!!! Cheddar bay all day!!!!! read more

Came in excited for the seafood boils but they didn't have them yet - no biggie! I'd just heard about it and wasn't even sure if it was happening yet. We got our usual and tried out the margarita flight. Our waitress was super friendly, super eager to help and get stuff out without hovering which was nice. The place was quiet, it was lunch time on a weekday so that feels pretty standard. Everything was clean and well taken care of. I'm glad this spot is still here, we came as a treat when I was a kid and so treating my parents to it as an adult has been nice. read more

So i admit, when i think of seafood, RL isn't first or honestly 6th on my list. However last night i was taking my daughter out for dinner and she absolutely loves their Garlic Shrimp Scampi, so when she made her request i said "Ok" without any hesitation. We got there pretty early after she finished ice skating...probably about 4:45. It was pretty empty and we were seated immediately. We ordered the fried mozzarella sticks first and they were really fresh and hot with a very good cheese pull. She got the GSS as i mentioned earlier and I went with the lobster flatbread. I had never had before and it sounded like a good option. I was very pleased with it. It was a lighter option but still had a seafood aspect. It reminded me a little of a thin crust pizza with lobster. The flat bread was a little saltier than I expected but it still worked. My daughter loved her shrimp and dunked the cheddar bay biscuits and cheese sticks in the garlic sauce too. For dessert she got the strawberry cheesecake (the picture does not do it justice) she had most of it, but she donated the last 10% to me...it was pretty darn tasty. In closing, this visit was much better than my previous...in the future we will try to go Mon-Fri because there is unlimited GSS, and she would really like that. read more

You ruined our Father's Day we had reservation at 7pm your hoes keep saying no table, no table no table and then eventually they did find a table then our waiter waitress told us that there will be a two hour wait for the food. Total of everything including you did not see us on time when we have a reservation you were supposed to see us you made us wait. Wait wait past 7 o'clock and we were not seated until like seven 7:45pn and manager was rude we will give us free appetite, but she will not do anything else even for the free appetite. She still says it will be a two hour wait and he made our whole family upset, including you made my parents. Upset and cry made I blood pressure thx a lot read more

Went there 6/20/26 3:30 pm for early Father's Day dinner. The waiter had such ADHD she was all over the place dropped her order sheet on floor, couldn't remember our orders then once we got our margaritas they were disgusting strawberry was a low budget mix, regular margarita had no alcohol! Our meals were disgusting I about gaged on my ceaser salad it was so drenched in dressing I couldn't eat any of the only thing was edible was the biscuits. Waste of $170 & I WILL never go back Only way to improve it shut down lock doors read more

I had soup and salad luncheon special. The clam chowder and ceaser salad was excellent. My friend ordered the brussel sprouts and they were some of the best I ever tasted. The service was friendly and efficient. It was very quiet since we were there at lunch time. We were very happy we went there. read more

Katherine F was absolutely wonderful! She was incredibly pleasant and so upbeat and friendly. We weren't having the best day and she was so cheerful and seemed to enjoy her job. She was extremely accommodating and so helpful. She checked on us regularly. Exemplary service!!!!! We were in town for a medical procedure... I wish we lived here so we could patron more often. Truly one of the best customer service experiences. read more

My rating of 2 stars is actually for the start of the experience, but the end is 5 stars. Ordered take out online last night. Two dinners, total with tip, $56.62. Husband brought home the food and we opened the bag. Huh? Is that all? My dinner was there, coconut shrimp with broccoli, but there was a small container with garlic shrimp a small container with fried shrimp, and a salad. Missing the shrimp linguine and NO BISCUITS! Called up the store and talked to Sergei the manager. He apologized for the missing items and asked if we could come back and get the rest of the meal. I said no, that's not convenient and that I would at least like a portion of the amount I paid for the one meal refunded. He countered with refunding me the entire amount which was very generous, and said he would talk to his to go order team. I just checked and find the entire amount had been refunded to my credit card. For that, I'm giving Sergei 5 stars for doing the right thing. Thank you, Sergei. read more

My wife and I recently dined in to celebrate our anniversary. We come to this location pretty often so we were expecting the usual nice experience....but unfortunately that was not the case this time. Our server named Garrette was mainly the reason for our experience. His attitude was very clearly artificial and quite pretentious. We also had to wait a pretty long time for not only refills, but for the food as well. Maybe the restaurant was just not on their A-game that day, but we hope next time we come in we have a different server... read more

We got the curb side meals from a nice guy who gave us our food. It was all there. We ordered a ton of food. My fish and chips were good. The Cole slaw was pretty good. The food was pretty hot when I got it and when I ate it 10 mins later. The lobster cheese dip with tortilla chips were really good. It had decent amount of lobster in it. Everyone else enjoyed their food. We would get curb side again. read more

Talk about a shit show! I was in Red Lobster on Greenburg Road, Tigard for my daughter's birthday in early January, I asked our waitress and a host who both told me that they still don't take reservations. The hubby and I attempted to go for an early Valentine's dinner only to find that they're only serving people who have reservations tonight! WTF?!?! We've had other unfavorable experiences at this location but for some reason we keep trying. I think I've run out of patience for good this time. They'll be closed within a year. read more

You have no idea the physical toll that 42 shrimp have on you!!! (Its good) (and Andrew was great)

Went to have dinner with my family, luckily we had Antonio take care of us. Excellent attitude! came to check on us frequently, the food was great! Had a great experience! read more

This time the service was fast, the music wasn't loud, and the restaurant wasn't cold. The waitress we got this time wasn't too friendly; I think I detected some annoyance. Our food was good and presented well. Some shrimp dishes come with the tails on, and some with the tails off. I wish that they'd remove the tails from all of their shrimp dishes. Or at least the ones where the shrimp are submerged in pasta or salad. Because who wants to get their fingers dirty picking out shrimps to de-tail them? The only time it makes sense to leave the tails on is when the shrimps are intended to be finger food, such as when the shrimps come fried and are supposed to be dipped into a sauce. read more

We met our sisters for lunch. The service was great, "Steve" was our waiter and was attentive and courteous. My wife and I each had the fish and chips, which were excellent. An appetizer of bacon wrapped sea scallops also did not disappoint. Our only "room for improvement " comment is on the Lobster bisque. It should be called lobster FLAVORED? bisque. There was absolutely NO LOBSTER meat in it. But it tasted good Overall still giving it 4 stars, mainly because of STEVE. read more

Food was excellent. Services was terrible. One hour to get water and drink after ordering. Another half hour a least to get food. My potatoe was cold. They only had one other table with people in the whole restaurant They said staff didn't show up. We arrived at one and it was 3 before we were able to leave. Didn't order dessert because we had rides picking us up Sad that another good restaurant will probable close down because of lack of service Plus we made a reservation for 6 so they knew we were coming read more

Manager and service staff has poor customer service as they physically put their hands on a customer that was pregnant and pushed them and then lied about it. Yes, you could improve by providing more training to your staff on knowing how to treat people and not feel entitled to physically put your hands on someone who is vulnerable. I don't recommend going to this Red Lobster in Tigard. read more

Best Red Lobster ever....great food, great service, beautiful folks. Thanks to Violet, and assistant manager Mr. Keenan what a great guy.. THANK YOU SIR read more

We finally got our endless shrimp special! We called ahead this time to confirm they were not only having the deal but also had the items available to serve it. (Last year when we came the special was running but this location ended it early because they didn't have the products.) We were seated next to the bar. We had a really great server, who was also the bartender. We order 3 of the endless shrimp specials and a daily special of steak and lobster. Everything was served hot and prepared nicely. It all tasted great and was an enjoyable meal. Our drinks were refilled quickly and we received 2nd & 3rd helpings of the shrimp. A few of the bar patrons, sitting at the bar, were starting to get a loud and a little rowdy so we took that as our cue to finish up and leave. Reviews seem to be on the upswing for this location. Fingers crossed we get the same great service and food on our next visit. read more

We eat here once a month on Wed. and always get the steak and lobster special. It was my wife's birthday, so the staff made her feel special. Manager was active and involved, and solved a minor issue with ease. I questioned why my baked potato came without the extras. An upgrade for $2.95, just like a green salad is an upgrade for $3.95. Also, are the Blue Cheese and Thousand Islands Dressings gone for a reason? We enjoyed the Honey Mustard instead. read more

We visited from CA and were impressed with the ambiance, food selection and service. Matthew was our server on a Friday night and he was great about paying close attention to detail, including my son's severe allergy, and our many requests. Definitely service with a smile and sincerity! The menu selections were tasty and the Crab Fest (Snow Crab) was enjoyed by all; we especially loved the garlic butter seasoning. The Stuffed Flounder and the Shrimp Bowl were amazing and proportioned well! The Classic Margarita was a bit heavy on the ice but otherwise delicious. Parking was horrendous. read more

Good grief. What happened to Red Lobster? This used to be the place to go. I should have read the reviews before I took my daughter (who loves seafood) for her 21st birthday! One and almost a half hour later.. (mind you there was no line out the door and many tables were empty) The snow crab was skinny and most shells half full- steak was over cooked and other veggies and apps were cold. Don't go!! Waitress didn't clear any dishes- so strange even when we had dessert! Not worth the money hands down! read more

The service was excellent, the food was delicious. The premium side of brussels sprouts were good but tasted a bit burnt & some were dry.

Haven't been in a while would come here with my family as a kid. And unfortunately it was such a sad visit, greeted and seated right away so that was nice our waiter came by once took our order and we saw him 40 min later with our (half cold) food too busy talking to everyone else but us, we didn't even get water finally paid attention when our bill came and to get our boxes (only got bread once after he didn't come by after he asked if we wanted more.) definitely won't be coming back for a while /: read more

Red Lobster - Endless COLD shrimp - Seafood Near Me - Tigard, Oregon

After a bad experience with a canceled delivery order, the General Manager provided us with a gift certificate for "Guest Recovery." We went this evening and expected a wait considering it was a Friday evening during Lent. After more than an hour wait for food, our server told us 2 of the 3 ovens were out of service and had been for the last two weeks. We learned the have been routinely canceling delivery ordes when their kitchen gets backed up. So we now learned our initial delivery order, which they blamed on the DoorDash driver for stealing, was canceled because their ovens are broken and they can't keep up with the customers they still choose to seat, without informing them of the kitchen delay. The Service Staff is doing their best to work through impossible times. We tipped our waiter even though our bill wound up being comped. The management and Corp Franchise need to step in to ensure guests are informed of delays related to equipment issues. We watched no less than 4 large parties walk out waiting for food this evening. According to the three staff, on duty manager included, they only have 1 working ovens which operates at the lowest of the 3 temperatures their ovens operate at and there is currently no ETA for when the ovens will be fixed. My suggestion, unless you want to kill a LOT of time, avoid them for the next few weeks until they get their ovens sorted out. read more

Last night (Thursday night), I ordered from Red Lobster through Doordash and I have some feelings about the experience. While the cajun chicken alfredo pasta dish left much to be desired, falling short of expectations both in terms of presentation and value for its price point, the redeeming quality was the dozen cheesy biscuits, which were fluffy and delightful! However, the overall experience was marred by several factors, including an extended two-hour wait for delivery through DoorDash, likely caused by apparent staffing shortages leading to prolonged wait times. My review concludes with a three-star rating, acknowledging both the positives/areas where improvement is needed for a better customer experience and a warning for those would plan to Doordash in the next couple weeks. read more

Ordered a big order on their website which was delivered by DoorDash. I ordered a chocolate cake which came with ice cream. I have no idea why they gave me my ice cream with NO cake. As a former server myself, I fail to see how such an obvious combination was not placed in a bag together. I called the restaurant to explain the situation and the replies I got were "umm, wow, umm" This person had no idea how to handle this. He said he'd inform the manager of this red lobster and I left my phone number. Now I realize it's a piece of cake but it is a learning experience for this store on how to handle a situation that had something to do with THEIR website. But, the manager and the restaurant did nothing to rectify or learn how to handle this situation. Boo on your customer service skills manager you of red lobster. I recommend you learn your website. read more

We came to celebrate my birthday. It had been a long time since I came to RL. I ordered the tiger shrimp cocktail with Samu and cocktail sauce. The samu tastes like lime cilantro and hot sauce. Burned my lips but had a great taste. My husband had the special; steak and lobster. The steak (a sirloin) tends to be a more tough meat. Lobster was good but overcooked. I ordered the stuffed flounder. I'd had sand dabs and wondered how this would compare. I loved it. The sauce gave it a nice buttery flavor. Adding a squeeze of lemon enhanced the flavor. I'd order it again. We shared the birthday chocolate sundae Our server, Danelle gave us good service. She was pleasant and mostly attentive. read more

Red Lobster - Stuffed Flounder - Seafood Near Me - Tigard, Oregon

Dark and stormy day and was craving shrimp so we pulled into Red Lobster. I haven't been here for quite some time in the parking lot was not that full. I went in and proceeded to the bar where they were open tables and sat down. I usually always eat in the bar when dining alone. All of a sudden, I hear this woman's voice yelling across the restaurant... " you can't sit there unless you check in at the hostess station". Everybody in the bar turned around and looked at her... she was that loud. Yikes! I've been coming here for years and it has never been like that before. :( So, instead of just bringing me a menu, she literally made me get up and walk to the hostess station then she escorted me to the table with the menu. Wow! This of course put a damper on my visit. She could of walked over to me and said that instead of yelling across the restaurant. The waitress Ariel was good. I had the Walt's shrimp so yummy with mashed potatoes and salad. Cant forget the cheddar bay biscuits. Yum! Smaller portions now days but still delicious. I think Fred Lester needs to have a little chat with their hostess and give her some manners. Shes rude and lacks customer service. read more

This was my first time ever going to Red Lobster, and I had a great experience! The servers were super friendly, the restaurant was clean and well-kept, and I loved the cozy booth we sat in. I went specifically to try the Seafood Boil Mariner's Style, and omg, it did not disappoint! It was full of flavor without being overly seasoned, which I really appreciated--especially since some places go overboard and leave my stomach upset. Not here! I even drenched it in lemon, and it was so good. Highly recommend if you're craving a well-balanced, tasty seafood boil in a clean and welcoming spot! read more

Haven't been here in years- had a craving for seafood and was in the area and decided to stop in. Was weird to see how empty it was compared to the old days. Used to be just packed all the time. Hoping this was just a slow night. The cheddar biscuits were light and flaky like we remembered. The Ceasar salad was also like we remembered- crisp with the right amount of dressing and parmeson. We ordered the Crab Rangoon as an appetizer. So good. The sauce has some heat surprisingly. I loved it. My wife ordered the cocktail shrimp appetizer and a side of broccoli. I ended up finishing her shrimp and they were fantastic! The Pina Colada dipping sauce is the perfect compliment. I ordered the New Orleans salmon. Basically a blackened Salmon with a creole cream sauce with shrimp on top. Absolutely outstanding. Phenomenal flavor- not to much heat. Just a great balance. I got a half order and got a side of shrimp scampi too. The price for that was about the same as a whole order. The scampi was great too. Overall we left full and satisfied. The receipt doesn't have out servers name, so I can't give her credit. She and the staff were efficient, friendly, and helpful. Great job! read more

Firstly, for being a "higher end" restaurant, you'd think the bathrooms would be getting cleaned regularly. No. There was urine on every single seat in the women's restroom. Absolutely grotesque. Yes women should be cleaning up after themselves if they're going to squat and make a filthy mess, but the restaurant should also be cleaning regularly when busy. Secondly, our service was less then par. Having to wait excessively for food while numerous folks around us were getting their food before we did. We had to wait an excessively long time for our refills as well. Basically being ignored the entire time. Lastly, the food. Everything was semi decent, however they forgot to bring us numerous items and due to the less than par service, we couldn't even ask until the end of the meal. When they put it with out to go bags, and I opened the missing item at home. Lobster loaded potato..... they pretty much said f u on the toppings. Needless to say, for a $300 bill and the issues we had, we will never be returning. Ever again. read more
