    Red lobster is one of our favorites places to eat, went for lunch , new menu , some specials and the rolls never disappoint! I had the shrimp trio , honestly thought it was going to be small portions, like an appetizer, but no it wasn't, served on a huge dinner plate and delicious! Kimberly our server was the BEST, she was so attentive and kind, smiling always , definitely understands and applies Great work ethic!! Not that many Red Lobsters around so if you get a chance, check them out !! I love their decor and theme too so cool

    This is our favorite spot, the ambience is always nice. Service is excellent and food is always prepared to perfection and always fresh. Our server, Shay, made sure we got exactly what we wanted. She was sweet, patient (yes, I do tend to change the entrees to my liking see the photo) Well, what can I say, I know what I like and want she was very professional and hospitable, 10/10 service from our dear Shay. Will mention, their manager Peter, who was attentive, courteous and made us laugh, which put us in even better mood. Love seeing people like that. Great food and great people are the great reason to always come back to our favorite spot. Worth mentioning. Their clam chowder is just so flavorful, I love when I don't have to fish for clams and my spoon is full of it with every time I try. Great great experience every time, highly recommend this location

    $5 happy hour drinks? Sign me up. I haven't been to any Red Lobsters since the major location closures but I was driving back from a trip and decided to stop in the Valencia location near Magic Mountain. Place was packed on a weeknight. Happy hour is 3-6p weeknights (my $5 Mark West Pinot wine was so needed that night while consuming my cheddar biscuits). I ordered a Lobster Shrimp/Salmon plate ($47.99) was so tasty on a huge plate that anyone would need a doggie bag. Lobster tail was so delish which was my favorite. I did like the shrimp and salmon as well. Sides I opted for potato and broccoli. Everything was buttered and seasoned well. My server Roxy was attentive and amazing. Parking lot was huge and plenty of room. It was a lovely time overall. Thank you Red Lobster for bringing me back to old memories that I miss so much. I will stop by again when driving on my trips.

    I don't get to visit Red Lobster often since there aren't many locations in Los Angeles County, but I happened to be near the Valencia location during happy hour and decided to pop in. I started with a $5, 20-ounce Blue Moon. It was crisp, ice cold, and served in a chilled mug nothing beats that on a 90°+ day. For an appetizer, I asked my server Edwin, who was great, by the way for a recommendation. He mentioned the seafood dip with flatbread or the seafood stuffed mushrooms. I went with the mushrooms. They were served piping hot with melted cheese and a buttery sauce, but the imitation seafood stuffing wasn't my favorite. I'd give them 3/10 for flavor. For my main, I ordered the Mariner's Boil $50.99 and added Cajun sausage (loved the sausage since they were well done) $6.49 plus an Old Bay butter ($3.49) on the side. The boil came with lobster, crab, shrimp, 1/2 dozen red potatoes, and two corn cobs. Edwin suggested mixing the roasted garlic butter with the Cajun butter so good! The crab was sweet and easy to eat, and the shrimp was good. The lobster was decent but a touch undercooked for my taste. There were a lot of red potatoes, but they were undercooked and the corn was clearly frozen and a bit mushy but the butter helped. The atmosphere feels like the early '90s classic Red Lobster nostalgia from back when we'd go for birthdays or graduations. While a little dated, it's part of the charm. And they didn't offer me biscuits not too sure if you're supposed to ask for them either way I didn't get them :( Overall: * Appetizer: 3/10 * Mariner's Boil: 6/10 * Service: 10/10, thank you, Edwin! Total with tax was $86.11 before tip. Would I return? Possibly, but I'd make a few tweaks to my order.

    I couldn't even tell you when our last Red Lobster experience was. The last time we were craving, we were sadly met with a closed location. Fate brought us to the Valencia location, obvi! Sitting a traffic, a glance to our right, then immediately drawn into the big Lobsterfest signage at the roofline. See fate! The decor was exactly how I remembered it to be. Could use an update but then again, it's what you expect to see. Decent size lobster tank right in the restaurant lobby as you walk in. Several split off dining rooms and seating areas. Our waitress was friendly, attentive, and on top of everything. We order the cheddar biscuits right away, a must! Came out hot and fluffy just like we remember them. Oh the nostalgia! We also ordered: -Fried Calamari -Lobsterfest meal: Lobster & Shrimp Linguini. Garlic Butter Lobster Tail, Caribbean Rock Tail, Bacon Mac & Cheese, Crispy Brussels Sprouts Fave dishes were the biscuits, duh. Also both lobster tails, and the Crispy Brussels Sprouts. I am a sucker for brussels, will always order them if I see them on the menu. Glad we shared meals instead of ordering full plates for ourselves. The 3 item Lobsterfest meal with the 2 sides was plenty for the two of us.

    Red Lobster is one of our favorite places to eat, so we stopped by for lunch to check out the new menu and daily specials and of course, the rolls never disappoint! I ordered the shrimp trio and honestly expected smaller, appetizer-sized portions, but I was pleasantly surprised. It came out on a huge dinner plate and everything was absolutely delicious. Our server, Erwin, was outstanding super attentive, friendly, and always smiling. You can really tell he takes pride in his work. Huge shoutout as well to Pete, the manager, for running such a great operation and making sure everything flowed smoothly. There aren't many Red Lobster locations around anymore, so if you get the chance, definitely check them out. I also love their décor and theme such a cool vibe!

    Lobsterfest Boil with Old Bay and Butter seasoning
    Janet M.

    We were supposed to go somewhere for lunch but as we passed by Red Lobster on the 5 freeway, he started talking about it and I mentioned that I have never been to a Red Lobster. We made the immediate decision to exit to head out here. I read the reviews and saw that "smell" was an issue so I expected to smell something. As soon as we entered the restaurant, we were greeted right away and didnt have to wait to be seated since they just opened. I can immediately smell the old musky smell but it wasnt that bad. It was expected since they have a tank with lobsters by the front desk. Not long after we got seated, our server took our drink order then brought us a basket of complimentary biscuits. It was warm and good. It wasnt anything like Popeye's biscuit. We ordered the "Lobsterfest Boil" which came with 4 decent sized Maine Lobster tails, a dozen shrimp, some 2 corn on a cob and several red potatoes. For the seasoning, we got the Old Bay and Butter and opt for medium spicy. I cant tolerate super spicy and this one has a kick to it. The flavor of the seasoning was good. Our only complaint was that the shrimp could have been a little bigger. The shrimp that came with our order was really small. Service was great. Our server checked on us a few times and refilled his drink twice. The price is decent being that its seafood. We both had to use the restroom to clean our hands and face to get rid of the shrimp/seafood smell. Yes, there is a weird smell inside the bathroom which I suspect is from their sewage or pipes. Overall, my first time at a Red Lobster was great.

    Crab Your Way
    Ericka G.

    I haven't been to Red Lobster in almost ten years but last Friday I decided to see what the new menu was hittin on. I ordered the Crab Your Way and it did not disappoint. I order the bairdi crab with cajun butter and a side salad. The crab was so fresh and full of meat. I felt like a pig eating a pound of crab at the bar. Lol! The bartender, Kevin, was so nice and sweet. He recommended that I come back for happy hour next time because the drinks are 5 bucks. Needless to say, I went back this past Friday with a friend this time. We sat at the bar with Kevin and ordered the new Mariner's Seafood Boil. Again, the crab was fresh. The lobster was delish and those potatoes were bomb. Lol!! Big ups to the nee CEO. He did his thing with reviving Red Lobster.

    My party and I decided to stop by Red Lobster after a full day at Six Flags Magic Mountain, and it really hit the spot. We were seated immediately and greeted by our server. Biscuits came out hot and fresh - cracking a little black pepper between them takes to the next level. Service was quick and efficient, both for the apps and mains. I decided to split an entree with a friend, and the portion was very generous. Food really hit the spot!

I'm pretty sure the sausage and vegetables were added to the shrimp to equal a pound. I am totally disappointed with this mistake and I see the reason why the restaurant was empty on a Saturday afternoon. There was no way I could have gone back to return the item since I live quite far and I made the mistake of not checking before I left since the girl stapled the bag and sealed the container inside. The shrimp isn't cooked well either. Some of them were cooked for too long while others seemed almost raw. Bad quality.

There were about a dozen tables in this restaurant, so it was smaller than I expected, but it did not feel overcrowded in any way. Once seated, we were given menus and the Captain's Choice caught my eye, and the clam chowder caught my partner's eye. Our waiter came to take our drink order and said that they have Pepsi products (boo), which is different from what the menu states. I ordered a Pepsi and my partner got a Thai Tea. He then asked us if we were ready to order food, and we agreed. He asked if we were there for the AYCE or the regular menu. We weren't given an AYCE menu so we were thrown off, but he very quickly grabbed one. After seeing the AYCE menu, I believe I saw it was around $40/person with an additional $55/person upcharge for unlimited snow crab legs. I immediately started thinking if one person at the table does it then the whole table will probably have to and then we're looking at $95/person. My partner and I looked at each other with the same "we're not thaaaaat hungry" look so we opted to order of the a la cart menu. As previously mentioned, the Captain's Choice and Clam Chowder caught our eye so we ordered those dishes in addition to the cajun fries. We placed our order at 7:41pm, and our food was out by 7:51pm. A 10 min wait time is not bad at all! Our Captain's Choice had the Crab N Spice flavor, with the original spice level. It came with 1/2 lb of shrimp, 1 lobster tail, 1 snow crab cluster, 2 corns, and 3 potatoes. The sauce was good, but it needed the tiniest little extra kick. I could taste that it was almost there, but not quite. I completely blame us for this because we normally order Mild at other places, and this time we went Original. I firmly believe if we went Mild the sauce would have absolutely been perfect for us. Next time, we would also need to order rice too because I kept trying to soak it up with the potatoes. I will also note that the quality of the seafood was perfect. It didn't feel like it was still trying to be thawed from frozen, and it did not taste too rubbery. One thing that we thought was funny was the Christmas music playing in the background. If we are going to get in the holiday spirit in September, I would have hoped for some Halloween vibes, but it was still a family friendly environment. Our bill ended up being $83.95 after tax and before tip. In my opinion, this is a fair price when it comes to seafood (especially for a lobster tail and a crab cluster) and it fed two people. Overall, I was quite satisfied with our experience here at Crab N Spice. The food comes out fast, the service is friendly, and the quality and taste of the food is fantastic.

I stopped in to grab takeout for my husband and me and was told the order wouldn't take long. The server was helpful and answered all my questions, so I felt good about the order: clam chowder, half-order lemon pepper wings, a catfish dinner with an extra side of shrimp, and grilled salmon with two sauces on the side (and cooked medium). After waiting 45 minutes--which already felt excessive for this order--I decided to check the food. I'm glad I did. The salmon was overcooked (well done instead of medium) with the sauce already poured on top. The lemon pepper wings had barely any seasoning, like it was added after they were already dry. And they completely forgot the shrimp. The server took everything back to fix it, but that took another 30 minutes. By then, my husband's catfish (and for $19, you only get one filet) and his cheddar side were cold, and the Caesar salad was wilted and warm. When the salmon finally came back--after another 20 minutes--it was still overcooked, now rock hard, and completely unseasoned. It felt like they were relying on sauce to do all the work, but even that missed the mark. The shrimp also tasted like pre-packaged frozen, not fresh. Nearly $90 later, we didn't enjoy any part of the meal. I'd suggest sticking to the boil if you come here, because based on this experience, everything else fell short.

But today, I ordered the beef stroganoff based on all the reviews. I will say, the steak, mushrooms and noodles were perfectly cooked. The sauce had me questioning myself all day, but I figured it out. Aside from lazily chopping the red onions, they were all different sizes and thickness. Not okay for a more upscale restaurant. Also, while I appreciated the perfect cook of the beef, the noodles and the mushrooms, the sauce was off. Definitely not a stroganoff. You don't need cream or cheese for a stroganoff and Salt Creek does not add either. It took me a couple hours, but realized they use soy sauce and vinegar. Their sauce is nearly identical to my favorite hot and sour soup. I will never order it again. Again, everything was cooked perfectly, but they charge you $45 for un-authentic meal. With really weird chopped red onion. For $45, I expect more than my local hot and sour soup.
