We had a reservation and were seated promptly. The restaurant is tastefully decorated in a nice ambiance that is more mid-scale with nothing crazy or fancy. It's pretty typical of the RL chain. Since we had reservations, I was a little surprised that we were seated in a bar booth but no big deal. We were fortunate enough to have Takia as our server and she was phenomenal! Right now, RL is running its Endless Shrimp Promotion and I must say that it's a great value. You initially select three shrimp options with one side and then have the choice of two additional shrimp dishes (without an additional side). Honestly, it's way more food than I think most people can eat, though I will note that it's not actually unlimited for someone with a large appetite. The restaurant policy is that food is to be eaten on the premises and not taken home... so you might want to skip breakfast and lunch and spend hours there, Since pictures speak louder than words, I'll post pictures of our entrees. I will comment, however, that the Shrimp Fettuccine Alfredo seemed pre-made and wasn't hot. The noodles were stuck together and it lacked the freshly made creamy experience I expected. I can imagine that the kitchen planned on this as being a top seller and was prepared for the orders. The marry me shrimp dish was okay but tasted better with the lukewarm Fettuccine Alfredo.. To my taste, the grilled shrimp were the best. Again, our server Takia was absolutely fabulous! Overall, it was a good value, though it think it was quantity over quality. read more

Basic. Friendly service. Fish and Chips was hearty and delicious. The tarter is very good the coleslaw seemed like it was a day over. The bisque was okay. Better with the biscuit. Glad they are still around but this one could use a deep clean and overhaul. read more

Red Lobster is average at best. We both ordered the Friday fish and chips. The fish was ok, but the coleslaw is horrible. Our waitress was friendly and polite. However, the manager delivered our food and asked if we needed anything. I asked for extra tartar, but she never brought it. The interior is slightly dated and needs a remodel. read more

Red Lobster - Fish & Chips - Friday - Seafood Near Me - Toledo, Ohio

As a regular at Red Lobster's happy hour, I've always enjoyed the welcoming atmosphere and excellent service. The $5 margaritas are a fantastic value, and today, my stepmother ordered the crab legs, which were delicious. We've consistently had fast and friendly service, and it's always a pleasure to visit every Monday. This week, however, we came on Tuesday instead. I typically sit in the bar area, which often has sports on the screens. A nice touch is that, with your margarita, you can request a slice of orange, lime, or even pineapple. Just a little tip for anyone interested in customizing their drink! read more

Because the service is consistently good, this Red Lobster is on our list to frequent. We like the Wednesday steak and lobster special,paired with a $5 happy hour Ecco Domani. Our wait staff Cadance has been so especially accommodating and efficient on today's visit and others, that I think she really deserves a shout out, read more

My sister received a crab boil that was DoorDash to her home. The boil came with little to no sauce, small shrimp, and a ton of minced garlic. Potatoes were also hard. She was so unhappy and to make matters worse, it cost $50 which went down the drain. She will not be reordering! read more

We ate dinner after a day of Christmas shopping and the service was fantastic, the food was delicious and came out fast and the snow globe sangria and the under the mistletoe were fantastic holiday drinks. It has been awhile since we ate at Red Lobster and it was an excellent experience. Definitely recommend and will be back. read more

We arrived for an early dinner and it seems as if everyone was being seated in the bar area. Not very busy. There was a table of women who were partying as they were rather loud and obnoxious yelling at the server from across the room because they wanted attention now! Felt sorry for the server as they had her running for this, that, and everything. Once the check was left at the table, all but one got up and left the table to go their separate ways outdoors and they returned one by one after some time and discussed how they were going to pay. Sadly, I do not feel as if her efforts paid off because her face sank when she picked up their payment. The table behind us was seeming having a heated discussion in which the "gentleman" (I am using the term very loosely) was berating the woman on basically every facet of her life. Felt sorry for her and wondered why she would want to even have a relationship with such a control freak that only talked down to her. Come on people, really? By the time we got our food the bar area was almost full and there were only 2 servers working. Guessing Red Lobster has issues like most other establishments finding people that actually want to work for a living. Our food tasted "ok" and wasn't something to write home about. I haven't been to a Red Lobster in quite some time, and to me, the it was a bit overpriced for the quality/taste/presentation. Thankfully we went to Red Lobster as I had a gift card, so that provided some relief. If we go to a Red Lobster again at some point in the future, it will definitely be a different location. read more

Red Lobster - Seafarer's Feast - Seafood Near Me - Toledo, Ohio

Not recommended. We will not be back. Cons: Made a reservation. Called and confirmed the reservation 1 hour before arriving. Arrived waited 30 minutes for a table. Then waited 45 minutes for food. The food came and was missing half of our order. I had to ask to reduce my mother's endless shrimp because we had no time to eat before we had to leave. Even with planning for 1.5 hours for dinner we had to rush to eat to get to our event - and we were then late. Pros: My kid was happy with his Kraft Mac n cheese. Which isn't even really a compliment but all I can come up with. read more

We visited this restaurant yesterday. The food was amazing however the waiter was not. He did not clear out the empty dishes at any point during our meal. I redeemed my birthday reward as in strawberry cheese cake. To our big surprise , he brought it out in a doggie bag without strawberries. We were planning to eat it there. When I asked him about the strawberries ..his reponse was ..oh you want strawberries? We were like.. isn't that what you advertised? Quite disappointed with this male waiter. But the food was excellent. read more

NEVER GO HERE!!! Our server Syd was lovely: BUT the kitchen and management needs TO BE FIRED. First of all, the manager on duty needs to fix her stank attitude and actually treat people with respect. On a Monday night at 7:30, it is completely empty inside. After waiting over 45 minutes with NO customers or other guest, everything that came out was horrid. All cold. All burnt or hardly edible in any degree. An entire half of a $40 meal, specifically a sirloin, was completely unedible. Even after one being remade, it was absolutely horrid. Tough and couldn't even be chewed to swallow. The managers only way to "fix it" was taking $3 dollars off the $40 plate. Her excuse was anything she puts would flag her system and could loose your job. Well you should loose your job after the horrible restaurant you're supposedly in charge of and the terrible kitchen service. I will NEVER recommend this place and hope the entire restaurant is investigated for poor quality, service, and experience. Don't waste your time. read more

We ate here on Good Friday primarily for the seafood. The restaurant was clean and familiar with its decor. Our waitress, Raven, was outstanding in her friendliness and professionalism. She was attentive and informative. We also spoke with a Red Lobster admin who was observing and critiquing the servers. She was nicely attired and very well spoken. It was nice to see the supervision. The food was hot and the amount was ample...good tasting, but not great. The prices were high for the quality and that it is part a chain and not a one-of-a-kind place. We would go back again. read more

Myself and my family were there April 11 for my wifes birthday. Just 3 of us. the bill came out to 131.93. I thought that was rather high but the killer is when I checked my credit card they had added another 5.00. I suspect it was added to the tip amount which makes no sense as I had already give a generous tip over 19% . The high prices were bad but the out and out larceny was enough to insure that I would never again go back. I will be sending a copy of my receipt with a printout of what they actually charged to their parent company. read more

Haven't been here for a few yrs but recently stopped in. We were seated immediately and really enjoyed our meal. We had stoped coming here previously due to our food being to salty multiple times. This time everything was very good and our waitress was great! read more

If I could give it a zero I would. We ordered through DoorDash and were given a lobster that was clearly rotten. My 6 year old Grandson took a bite and swallowed it before we knew it was bad. Will never order or eat at this restaurant again. Not the first issue we have had here. read more

The restaurant has gotten a lot less business lately, but that don't matter to Brandon. Brandon if you're reading this, you're a star man; TRULY one in a krillion. You were supremely kind, patient, and helpful to us during our family suppertime. You even went out of your way to give us extra butters for our crab legs in case we didn't like the ones we ordered. You made the atmosphere and experience so much more enjoyable and comfortable. I am truly at a loss for words. W Brandon; you deserve a raise, promotion, and all the joy and kindness this life has to offer. May God bless you!! Chat type 1 if you love Brandon: 111111111111111 read more

great food and even better service! the wait staff here are impeccable. they are always looking to make sure everyone's experiences are perfect! read more

This location is in a rather heavily populated area so I was kind of surprised at how slow they were during a dinner rush! For starters, the place is immaculately cared for both inside and out. My only complaint was in the bathroom. The floors were sticky and it had a slight less than fresh smell. But I've been in worse. We were promptly greeted by the hostess who seated us right away. Our server was good. Not exceptional but he was good. He never offered refills or checked on us during our visit which was disappointing but the food made up for his lack of attentiveness. The food was well made and delicious. The portions were generous and filling! read more

We had a pretty big party for one waitress to keep up, and she did well given the task. The kitchen butchered at least two of our parties orders, and was slow and inconsistent with multiple appetizers for our table(s). The manager (seeing a big ticket come in) came out to make light jokes and to ask how we were... was a nice touch, but it kind of backfired when our party complained about the service. The food was average and what you expect... nothing special to really write about on that. read more

Red Lobster - Vanilla Bean Cheesecake with strawberries served very very cold - Seafood Near Me - Toledo, Ohio

Our service was good but the food was not. I got 2 lobster tails.One of which was mush I sent that back. The other one was not much but very bland. Very disappointed. The coleslaw was very bland also. Will not be going back. read more

This is the regular old place with the bathroom by the door and lobster tank in the lobby.

Awesome food and delivery! Arrives fresh, early and very tasty! Very good choices to choose from!

Was not a good experience at all. Kids food was fine but my husband asked for no beans in his food and they brought it with beans anyways. Which was fine he did not complain. Had to wait 40mins to get the biscuits to our table. Which came when our appetizers and kids food came. The waitress seemed not happy to be working that day. We hardly seen our server throughout most of the meal. Some guy had been coming around to take care of us. And he was very sweet. Just felt very ignored as customers and was not happy with the customer service. Could have been much better! I work in customer service myself and I as just not impressed with it as well as the food. read more

Although our was waitress Tavia was nice our beers we ordered were flat but they gave us something different after we made them aware of it. The food we ordered was below the level of a fast food chain. Very disappointing for the price that we paid. We will not be going back there. read more

Why did I come here???? Whyyyyyyyyy? I swore off this place a year ago but the kids wanted to go there. Wish I didn't! After waiting 20 minutes for our table at noon, we sat in the back. And to our surprise there was only one full table. We could have been seated immediately. Our server was nice. Which is a change for this place. Our drinks came out almost immediately. But for some reason every time my husbands pop came out it was barely three quarters full. The appetizers were a joke. I literally laughed when the sweet chili shrimp came out (picture attached). The lobster dip? Fail. Not sure where the lobsters were. And the actual dishes... I took pictures of it so that I'm not told I was exaggerating. A total of $78 for a meal like this? No way! Never again! Red Lobster is completely out of my books. read more

Was a awsome first experience the food was fantastic hot served to tabel shrimp trio was as was promised made to perfection was on highways heading home from Michigan it almost didn't happen cause of the difficulty in the way traffic took us around about,so glad we didn't alow the drive to interfere are visit we definitely be back again the waitress was super nice polite as is expected in a place as red lobster who still carrys high food qiality standerds same as last 30/40 years read more

So this is a good review, for the simple fact that the service was on point as well as the food coming out hot, and delicious. Me and my friend Laura, had basically bought everything on the menu. We had the stuffed mushrooms, the Caesar salad, and the lobster and scallops skewer and I had the crab linguini Alfredo lunch dish. Everything was great, and are biscuits were hot. My advice , go at lunch. Everything tastes way better and the service is much better. read more

Red Lobster - The Triple Berry Sangria....Awesome! - Seafood Near Me - Toledo, Ohio

The New York strip steak was decent and the ice water was too. read more

My wife and I had lunch here today, seduced by Lobster Fest ads and the promise of deliciously cheesy biscuits. The food my wife ordered came cold, which is unacceptable given that the entree cost $25. We're typically not ones to complain; we understand that the restaurant business is hard and being a server is a really challenging job. We didn't plan to say anything about it. Still, the server came to ask us how our food was and my wife told him about the cold food. He was appropriately apologetic and told us he'd send the manager over. We weren't expecting that and told him of the less than ideal food more as an FYI than as a vehicle to create a stir. When the manager did come over, she proceeded to explain why it shouldn't be cold (as if that was our concern). We didn't make a scene. It's not our way. We didn't insist on a discount. But we were more than a little put off by her coming over and explaining why their process made it unusual for the food to be cold. Why bother coming over? we didn't ask to see her. Still, while we aren't likely to cause a scene, we aren't likely to return. Pro tip: Don't wait until someone is upset to make it right. A modest discount would have made us feel as though our concerns were taken seriously. Sure, you might not make as much money on this particular sale, but you wouldn't surrender future business. As it stands, the experience was bizarre and irritating, not due to the server, who was great, but because the manager failed to have the vision to think of the long game instead of the immediate sale. read more

Well expect to pay a lot! Four people with an appetizer, 4 entrees, 2 alcoholic drinks, 2 pops, 4 desserts = $131.06. We all had shrimp, nothing fancy. What really surprised us was the pop was $3/ea. AND the desserts! We decided to get them to go. We ordered a chocolate cake, a cheeses cake, a key lime pie, and an apple pie. When we arrived home we looked at the bill closer. $7.99/ea. We thought.... WOW! I'll bet they are huge. Opened the boxes. Nope! Small size for the price we payed!!! Never again will we get dessert there! But I will say my tummy was happy! It loved the food! They weren't busy, it was clean, we were in and out in one hr! Our waitress was awesome! See pics below. read more

Went there the day after Valentine's Day because I had to work. Ordered the lobster and stake the lobster was over cooked and very tuff my steak was supposed to be medium rare but when I cut in to it it was very rare. Had to send my stake back 3 times. read more

The food was good and the service was excellent. My only complaints were that the lobster tail was kind of chincy, maybe offer size options, and server never returned with a printed receipt. Her loss because I tip in cash. read more

This red lobster was God awful I have gave this place a few tries and have been disappointed everytime. Weather it was food that took an hour to prepare and it's either cold or it looks like something you get from a fast food place. I just spent $95 dollars for a couple lobster tails that were so over cooked I think I could of chewed my belt better. The salads were rotting and the crutons were super stale. Even the service was terrible you will never see your waiter/waitress. I do not recommend this place. And honestly probably will not be going to any red lobster anytime soon read more

This place doesn't even deserve one star...Example A: terrible service, we got to this run down restaurant at 3:35 wanted a table for 7, mind you they weren't coming until 4, the rude hostess told us it would be an hour at least, in a voice sounding like she was hoping we would leave. We took our old school vibrating doo hickey. B: went to the bar to get a drink as we waited, took 15 minutes to even have the bartender come over to us, and the all of the drafts were flat she informed us. So we ordered other items which took her another 10 minutes to serve us. C: after sitting there for 30 minutes we realized the undesirable round tables behind us in the bar area have been sitting empty with dirty plates, they finally got some lazy staff to clean them who sprayed some pretty over powering antiseptic spray on the tables right behind us...we could barely breathe. D: we went up to the rude hostess to see what the time was since it had been over an hour and we watched several other parties get seated before us. She dismissed us saying we were next on the list, she lied. another 10 minutes later two waitresses called our name, neither knowing what the other was doing..... E: here's where I started to get annoyed Normally they ask if it's ok if they seat you in the less desirable tables in the middle of the bar "dining" area, they did not. And when we asked if there was anything else they told us it would be another 45 minute wait. Mind you the place was not at all busy....seriously it was 4:45 at this point. F: we decide to sit at the shitty table which had no light or privacy. Me and my sister order the salmon, she takes everyone else's order and everything's good....or so we thought. As the waitress brings everyone's salad out she informs me and my sister there is no salmon, or any fresh fish at all. Which the fresh fish of the day menu had been placed right in the middle of the table. So she gives us one menu to try and scramble over to order something frozen from the back, which is crap because we had our hearts set on salmon. The soup we got instead tasted like something you could buy in a can... This will be the last time I step foot in this restaurant, I hear they maybe going out of business....I now see why. Lazy, rude staff...Lack of resources, over priced, crap food. read more

Red Lobster - This is my Campbell's chicken and stars I ate after I got home from this shit hole. - Seafood Near Me - Toledo, Ohio

Not bad. Iced tea was good and the service was very good. The shrimp cocktail we ordered was really cold like the shrimp camp right out of the freezer. Not good, because the salad came out the same way. I understand they were probably pre made but come on... Now my wife's meal was the Maine lobster bake... The lobster was over cooked and the potatoes were under cooked... Just not well done. I just went simple and ordered the coconut shrimp... That was good and so was the pineapple dipping sauce.. Not hard to mess that up.. Of course the biscuit were good as always... So overall I would try it again but not a must stop at all. read more

Called a day in advance to get reservations. I was told they did not do that but I could be placed on a call ahead list. I said I didn't understand the difference and the girl sighed and transferred me to someone else. Rude lady number two was equally as flippant. She told me I could go on the list and call tomorrow. I asked what was the purpose of the list if I have to call again. I get there and wait 30 minutes! Finally seated and see a ton of empty tables all around. Food was ok, service was decent. Food was overpriced for small portions. Not worth the bad customer service from the hostess stand time. read more
