    Feb 27, 2026 4.0 stars 2:00 PM Wife and I stopped in today for our main daily meal as it is Good Friday and she observes those. The place was pretty empty and quiet with the exception of some table bussing noises. The hostess sat us adjacent to another party, but we asked and we're put a table length away for privacy. The hostess did manage to sit another party adjacent to us when I wasn't looking. :'( We started filling our bellies on those addictive complimentary buttery bisquicky muffins while we waited for our meals. The Catholic ordered the Lobster And Shrimp Linguini ( very rich with an abundance if shrimp and some lobster bites) and a cola. I ( the Protestant) ordered the Fish And Chips (a nice fish portion with two small Hush Puppies to boot) not for religious reasons, but because I have been wanting this and H Salt Fish and Chips in San Pablo is closed. Our bill came to $61.15 before tip. Service was friendly and efficient from Azara. On a useless side note. Azara reminds me of CNN'S Abby Phillip a bit. It's a compliment. We shared one and a half serving baskets of those muffins and in the end we had a few muffins and a serving of Linguini to take home. We both left satisfied and full. Over all another nice visit.

    Cheese biscuits

    Hadn't been in a while. We were craving some seafood and cheddar biscuits so we decided to come for dinner. We came in on. Saturday evening and it wasn't that busy. We were seated pretty quickly. Aniyah was our waitress and she provided excellent service. The biscuits were hot and fresh. I got the sailors boil with the RL signature butter it was delicious. I would definitely get this again. My husband got the all you can eat shrimp and was happy with those. I got the high tea with henny. It was not strong, alcohol was definitely lacking. I would definitely come back for the boil and great service but would skip the cocktail.

    Mariner's Boil

    I have not been to Red lobster in years but came here specifically to try the new seafood boil. Our service was okay our server forgot a few things but was very nice and apologetic. We came in the middle of the week so it was pretty empty and we were seated right away. The boil itself was pretty good we got both seasonings in our boil and the old bay Parmesan on the side. It is not the same as if you were to go to boiling crab but is pretty good deal for the price and will satisfy your craving. It is enough for two people if you also get an appetizer on the side. We opted for the calamari it was really good but unfortunately came out a bit cold because our server forgot to grab it. The vibe inside is dark and the time we went it was pretty quiet. The drinks were also good and I'm happy we came in to try them again. Will definitely be back for happy hour!

    Tried some new menu options. Got the Mariner's Seafood Boil with the Cajun butter. It was good. We did ask the server got more spice, but I needed to get a little more. The biscuits are the same, but the I food enjoy the flight. Tried the different types, they were good. I would try to go back and try it again. I did get rice on the side to eat with it. I wish it had more sauce. Our table was dirty when we got there and the server was kind, but I wish she was a little more attentive.

    Cheddar Bay Biscuits Piña Colada
    Vanessa O.

    I went to the Vallejo location for Happy Hour but I missed it. I had shrimp and fries, a colada and the cheddar bay biscuits. The drink was really good and the biscuits were just as I remembered!! I went to support this new CEO and there was one young man who was outstanding and had the same vibe as the new CEO.

    SURF & TURF A Maine lobster tail paired with a 7 oz. sirloin*. Served with your choice of two sides. 42.99 740 Cal

    We celebrated my birthday here yesterday 1/27/26. Spent $135. Food is okay, the sirloin cooked it in medium but the meat inside is dry and looks like it's old , SURF & turf for $43 is not worth it if the sirloin will be like that. I like the linguini though , fish & chips is good for the price plus I love the Complimentary biscuits . Please management, try to check your front desk/receiving area. There was a smell when you enter the restaurant right when you open the door, I am not sure if it is their RESTROOM or the LOBSTER TANK infront. Nasty smell that will ruin your appetite if you stay longer at the front desk. When seated, ambiance is okay I give it 8/10. Good service, server Juliana catered us, when we ask about what's their side options, she just told us just to look to the back of the menu , didn't even bother to tell us directly what are those. Anyways I still gave her a tip for rendering service to us and keep checking on us. Maybe we'll be back in the future, hopefully you fix the smelly front desk area. Thank you .

    Southwest bowl.
    Andrea D.

    We did a last minute reservation for a party of 6. There was a bit of a wait but the hostess was patient and courteous. Our server was really kind and attentive. We didn't order any appetizers but our drinks and bread came out pretty quickly. Entrees took a little time but it was good when they did. As always, the inside of the restaurant was cool inside but nothing a jacket couldn't fix.

    Crab Queso
    Christina M.

    Its been a while since I've been to a red lobster. I like the new changes to the menu. I got the crab dip, the salmon bowl and cheesecake. I have to admit the Soy-glazed salmon bowl was DELICIOUS, light in flavor but delicious nonetheless the less!!!Perfectly cooked salmon and I loved that it came with 2 veggies and a rice! Crab queso was nice and savory better than the lobster dip to me. And ooo oh the cheesecake yum! Fresh strawberries on a classic cheesecake. The servers were very attentive but sometimes hovered a bit too much. I'll be back for that salmon bowl soon..

    Steak rice and baked potato
    Liam C.

    I ordered the steak with a sign of shrimp scampi this is probably the best steak I had a long time I was not disappointed. The rice and the baked potato were delicious. Red Lobster. It's always been one of my favorites. I'm disappointed to say that I read in the paper that this place is going to be closing my service was good the waitress was nice. I was just slightly disappointed because I didn't seem to give up the salads anymore that they used to. You used to get like a caesar salad or soup

    It's a blurry shrimp salad

    Decent food when you don't know what you want... they have a wide variety of options. What you'd expect from this kind of place I guess

    Fish & Chips - Friday
    Nicole P.

    First time at Red Lobster in years! My family decided to visit after hearing that they are closing many of their locations pretty soon. I remember the days when this place was always packed and being excited to come here. The ambiance alone gives it a nostalgic feeling. Let me start by saying that the service we received was excellent. We were seated right away and our server was friendly and helpful. We didn't have to wait too long for our food, and she was on top of everything. Unfortunately, the quality of food is just not as good as it used to be. Our meals were just okay, including the cheddar biscuits. We had the Southwest Shrimp bowl and Fish and chips. Seems like the end of an era.

    We love the Wednesday special- steak & lobster with 2 sides. We also tried the margarita sliders which we think need more tequila. Service has always been good and I hope it continues to be so.

Everyone seems to know everyone which also adds a bit to the good vibes this place has. We went on a Thursday around 11am and it wasn't super packed and there was no wait. The servers really checked up and were attentive to all of our needs from start to finish. Was very quick and efficient cause this was a stop on the way to six flags for a day. I am a big fan of pancakes and my partner loves waffles so we caved in on our favorites. They were so delicious, fluffy and buttery. The table comes with maple syrup, jellies, and sugar/ salt/ pepper and ketchup and hot sauces. We chose scrambled eggs and extra crispy bacon which gave me homestyle cooking. Overall not many complaints, it was a solid place to eat and would come back

Rather than taking accountability, she again cited having "new" servers, an explanation that appears repeatedly in other 1-star reviews, suggesting this is a recurring excuse rather than an isolated issue. Four of the five people involved have prior serving experience, and all of us agreed we would never handle a customer issue this way. Even when my brother was a new server at the current restaurant he's at, never made a mistake of this magnitude, and if he had, I highly doubt the solution would have been offering 10% off a future visit. After an experience like this, why would anyone want to come back just to receive a discount or get their food comped when the food quality won't be changing. Ironically, my brother is now one of the top servers at another restaurant. Overall, this was one of the biggest service failures we've encountered, and the owner's response felt unprofessional, insincere, and completely lacking in accountability.

There is a dedicated parking lot, tight but can hold a decent amount of cars. There is street parking as well, not metered - that is where I parked. The hostess was extremely friendly and attentive, checking in on us several times after ordering to notify of the food's ETA as well as refilling drinks and seeing if we needed anything. The dining area has approximately ten booths in total and became quite crowded around 12:30p. Our meals arrived at different times, items to eat meal arrived sparsely as well. We ordered around 11:30a, there were two other parties present. We were able to order based on our dietary needs/wants as the menu offered quite a diverse array. The crab omelette (known as The California Omelette on the menu) is 1/4 lb of fresh crab served either hot or cold enclosed in three eggs along with avocado and Monterey Jack cheese. For $26.35 the omelette left much to be desired, especially in flavor and seasoning. Nothing complimented or even enhanced the presence of the crab in any way. The remaining party at the table said they enjoy their meal - including a blueberry waffle, toast and eggs with bacon and a double cheeseburger with fries. If you are looking for an inexpensive place to gather, this cafe is certainly an option to consider. It was easy to speak and hear each other with ample privacy and not a lot of traffic - if any.
