I know what you are thinking. One....... what is he doing in Vantucky and number two, why is he at Red Lobster? I do not frequent chain restaurants if there is a choice involved. In this case it was Fathers Day and it is my dads favorite restaurant. I know...i know. As you can see the apple can fall far from the tree. I also never try to visit a restaurant on a holiday. You just asking for a bad experience most of the time. Either with the wait, food or service from being so busy. My parents checked in about 6 and were told a hour wait. WTF? Red Lobster in Vantucky.....really? Good news is they called us and told us, and we arrived about 5 minutes before being seated. Perfect! The host had a great personality and explained the specials etc. Matt was our server and he showed up shortly. For being as busy as they were he didn't rush us and took time to explain everything. The 4 of us decided on the 4 courses for $14.99 and it looked to be a decent deal for what you get. You have a choice of soup, salad, entree and dessert. Susan and I had: Clam Chowders, Cesear Salads,, Scallop and Shrimp Linguine , Jumbo Coconut and Pineapple-Grilled Shrimp, and Key Lime Pie and Apple Crostada. The chowder was very good, it had perfect consistency. The Caesars were nothing special, the Scallop and Shrimp linguine was also very good, It too had the right amount of sauce. The Key Lime Pie and Apple Crostada were forgettable. And of course we had the cheese bisquits which are one of the best things they do, All in all 3 stars for the food. Matt on the other hand was fantastic. I would give 5 stars +. He was one of the best servers I have encountered in a long time especially under these busy circumstances. All told...... ok food and remember to ask for Matt if you can. Tell him a fellow Yelper told you to ask for him. A 3.5 rounded up to 4 because of Fathers Day. Cheers. read more

Steve C. If there where a zero that's what your food should receive. We have eaten at Red Lobsters all up and down west coast. 1. Son came up from Ca. he had dinner there on 12/22/21 2. Entire family (5) on 12/23/21 had dinner. Later on 12/22/21 we where talking about dinner. I had clam chowder/ bacon wrapped scallops, daughter had a steak, mashed potatoes, broccoli , wife stuff mushrooms , both sons breaded shrimp. 1. Clam chowder tasted as if watered down to make it last ,very little flavor. Scallops over cooked rubbery. 2. Daughters steak at best was eatable, she said there was a filmy taste (son who was visiting from Ca. Stated he thought the same thing on the steak he had the night before). Potatoes where lukewarm at best. 3. Wife's stuffed mushrooms way under cooked. 4. Both sons stated there shrimp was cool, meaning not hot. 'Wife and I have explained to our family, both her and I worked in the restaurant business. "NEVER JUDGE WHAT A PERSON DOES FOR A LIVING, UNLESS YOU HAVE DONE THERE JOB". Everyone has a challenging day. It is Christmas time everyone has a bad day. We are speaking of the food, not people. Did I mention I ordered coffee when my wife and I first arrived. I received that 1 cup right away. Children arrived about 15 min. later. We have dinner, small talk. We where there about 1 hr. That's when I had to ask for my first refill. Still waited. Someone will say it was very, very busy. No; there where about 30 people , say 20 staff on duty, plus management, cooks, etc. I have never written a negative comment ever.

This restaurant is still great. It has changed so much through the years, but has always had wonderful service. I highly recommend you request either Ryan or Kayla as your server and neither one of them will disappoint you. I also love how the menu has changed frequently through the years. The look inside hasn't changed much, but are you there for good food and service or are you there to stare at walls? read more

Old place. Old clientele. Took a bit to get seated even though it was slow. Dark inside and hard to see. Food came out at odd times. Portions were small, much smaller than the picture showed. I had a cesarean salad with a baked potatoe and their mozzarella cheese and cherry tomatoes. Guess it's not gone under because it is next to the mall. Don't want to come back, and would never go back to a red lobster again. read more

My husband ate at this location last night, and I can say it was not good. Fish & chips was greasy on the outside and mushy on the inside. The broccoli side dish had a very different taste, did not like & did not eat. I had admirals , it was just ok..For the total dinner, was not worth the price we paid. Although service was good. read more

Wanted a casual dinner my husband ordered the 7oz surf and turf but got no surf. His plate looked like cafeteria food, he did enjoy the stake. Not a large selection on the menu it's changed so I ordered the lobster bake with crab legs on the side. This had a pasta with absolutely no flavor half of my mussels never opened. We are sad to say we won't be returning to this location. The biscuits were good read more

Standard fare with friendly service. Server was prompt on taking order and delivering food and let my water go empty for a while before offering up a refill. Nice young lady. read more

Always a good stand by... Reliably good seafood. Nothing extraordinary but can count on a good meal. Wood grilled shrimp tacos are good.

Service was great, food was terrible! Mozzarella sticks came out somewhat cold, got sent back only to come out somewhat warm. We got steak, lobster, and shrimp. All of it was mediocre at best. Edible but felt kinda sick later. Only good thing was the service. read more

There are some nights when everything when everything just worked for an exceptional dining experience. This was one of those nights. The staff was very friendly and attentive. I didn't have very long to wait And then there the was the food. Along with my favorites, the shrimp cocktail and cheese biscuits, the Panko breaded Argentinian Red shrimp was a pure delight to my taste buds along with the vanilla bean cheese cake with strawberries. Yum!! All and all a great dining experience! read more

We came here last Wednesday for dinner with our toddler. I haven't been here in ages. I have to say the service was outstanding. The staff is so friendly and prompt, and my food was delicious. read more

Food was fair. Husband steak overdone. Pasta fedichinni was swimming in butter. Also can't believe that yelp is telling me how long my post should be read more

I'm not typically a fan of chain restaurants but some friends wanted to have dinner at Red Lobster so I figured, why not?! Besides it was Lobsterfest and I love lobster anyway. We got on the waiting list as they do not take reservations and waited only about 30 minutes for a table. We were seated and greeted by a cute and funny server named Dave who we really liked. After this great intro to Red Lobster is where everything went awry. I was really looking forward to having Live, Maine Lobster but they were OUT OF THEM during LOBSTERFEST! Then we had to flag someone down to open our wine, bring the famous biscuits to the table, bring some water, bring our salads...etc..It was painful how inept and horrible the service was. Our friends were embarrassed that they suggested the place. As if things weren't already terrible, our entrees come out while we were still waiting on soup and salads. It was suggested that our soup and salads could be "wrapped up" so we could take them home and just accept our entrees as they were already made. We respectfully denied that option, saying that we wanted to enjoy our soup and salads BEFORE our entrees as they should be. Not only that but we expected freshly cooked entrees at the proper time with nothing microwaved. The manager came by, apologized and offered to comp dessert which we appreciated. I did point out to him that I overheard him also apologizing to the table behind us and that Red Lobster was having a rough night. So, we eventually get our soup and salads, finish that course and receive our entrees. After everything we'd been through during the dinner from hell, our entrees came out not fresh but MICROWAVED!! Unbelievable!! We rightfully asked that they be made fresh as the mistake was THEIRS, not ours. By then we were too tired and hungry to continue fighting for every single thing and just wanted to eat...ANYTHING...just something edible which our entrees were, just the wrong texture and temperature because they had been microwaved after sitting in the window. The fact that they thought they could pull one over on us was the biggest offense of the night. I hope Red Lobster feels good about the $300.00 we spent there because it will never happen again. read more

Omg this place has gone down hill, waiter sucked, food was cold, waiter was slow yikes never coming back

Our server Anthony brought our food super fast and always checking in to see how things are tasting. read more

Red Lobster - Seaside shrimp - Seafood Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

My wife and I ate at Red Lobster for dinner recently. We were treated royally. Our waiter, Jon, was polite, prompt and very efficient. He made suggestions to make a good meal even better. I had the lobster roll and a couple of sides of vegetables and rice. He suggested a menu item that included all of them for less money. My wife had the seaside shrimp trio, it was so large that we took most of it home. Jon helped us pack it all away. It was a great dining experience. read more

Yeah our workplace got food from here 20 minutes ago. The food quantity is weak sauce. The food is also cold and stale, and that bad I have to post this review NOW! Red Lobster sucks. read more

We haven't been to red lobster in some time. We will not come back. We both wanted steak and outback was an hour wait where RL was 5 minutes. Guess I know why. I had the sirloin and shrimp and he had sirloin and lobster. The steak was terrible on both. The veggies were uneatable. We paid extra on both to have asparagus that was black from being overcooked. We had to go to catch a movie so I knew if I sent it back we would be late. Service was terrible. Restaurant is old and outdated. Smelled like fish (which is sort of ok but made me question the cleanliness). Yeah... won't be back. read more

So annoying, when you're hungry and they've got plenty of tables but don't want to seat a couple at a table for four, so they tell you to take a seat and wait. We left. read more

So I placed an order online on the 19th, went to pick it up. Showed up at the time it said it will be ready but it wasn't. That didn't bother me so I waited, got the food and came home. Ordered clam chowder and the bar lobster bake. So my chowder wasn't even chowder at all. It was pure liquid. No potatoes, no clams. Nothing. Called them and spoke with the manager, they gave me a option, refund or come get another one. I chose refund. It's been a week and no refund happened. She said most likely they just scooped the top and that's why there wasn't anything. Prior to this we got chowder to go few months ago and it was very watery too. Barely anything in it. Their quality definitely became worse. We used to eat here all the time. read more

Not sure what I expected, but I'm not surprised. If you would like to order and pickup do not expect service. The young lady at the front was very polite, however after letting her know I was there to pickup an order she directed me to the bar and said the bartender would grab my order for me. After standing at the bar for nearly 2 minutes listening to the "bartender" sexually harass a coworker and watching her play on her phone (I assumed she was working as she was standing in front of the Point of Sale system), with her back turned, she abruptly walked away and I stopped her, asking for my order. In the end she was cordial and promptly returned with my "food". Mistakenly this order was placed online, which was convenient, but doesn't prepare you for the disgustingly microwaved fish and shrimp that you receive. In the end, the salad and "nuked" potato were all I could bring myself to eat. The cheddar biscuits, which seem to be very popular, were soggy and unpleasant. It's been many years since I've stopped by a Red Lobster, and it appears it will be several more before my stomach forgets this fine food. This picture, minus the potato and half bitten shrimp, is as I received my order. read more

Red Lobster - Seafood Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

It's my first time to red lobster. I was really excited to try their lobster since it's called "red lobster" after all. My entree arrived and I tried it but there was nothing spectacular about it. It lacked flavor, the lobster Mac we ordered was salty. Honestly, the only thing I enjoyed was our dessert. I would of given this place one star but our server was so nice and great, for that reason; this place got 2 stars. read more

I went there with my kids and although the service was wonderful, my toddler and I both got the poops and a terrible stomach ache (literally 30 mins after we left - I'm assuming food poisoning?) from the fish we shared. I loved Red Lobster but after this experience, I'm not sure I can return. read more

Parents requested so we gave it a try. Service was very good. The food was mediocre at best. My salad had very few pieces of lettuce and what was there was the pale and tough ends of the leaf. My husband's Alfredo tasted like it was made from the same base of the soup. The coconut shrimp came with a sweet tartar sauce. Not sure if that was the pina colada sauce? I asked for cocktail sauce (which was the best tasting item I received, not being caddy...it was good). It greatly improved the shrimp. My mother in law had the lobster bisque. Same cheese sauce flavor found in the Alfredo. Thank goodness their biscuits are filling. For the prices they charge I believe the food quality should be much better. The service was great! Your recipes need improvement as does the quality of your ingredients. Give your servers something worthy of the quality of their service. read more

They didn't give me a cherry with my Shirley temple. Other than that, it's a great place too eat and they have great service and good food! read more

I only give it 2 stars because the crab was decent. I took my girlfriend and daughter here on a Sunday evening. She ordered the create your own for 18.79 which includes 2 accompaniments. She ordered the Walt's favorite shrimp and asked if she could do the New York steak instead of the sirloin. The waiter said no problem and I ordered the crab pot. Long story short when we got the check they charged her 18.79 for the create your own and 10.99 for the upgrade to the New York steak. So what the hell did the 18.79 pay for? The shrimp and salad??? I understand a little bit more for a New York Steak. (trust me when I say I can make a much better steak at home than the shit they are serving)!! At no time did the waiter tell us it was going to be 11 more dollars to upgrade to that steak. When we questioned him about it he simply just comped us 5 dollars and said don't worry about it. We wanted it broken down. We wanted an explanation at the very least. This idiot didn't even grab a manager or anything. He just copped an attitude and walked away. Well I hope you liked getting no tip asshole!! I think from now on I'll eat at the other places close by like La Costa......now they have great customer service and amazingly good food. If you want sub par seafood and mediocre steak with bare bone customer service then this is the place for you. read more

The server Susan was unbelievable unavailable. She walked in several times and never even looked our way. Never gave us a refill. We had to keep asking the other staff for butter and sugar for the ice tea, napkins etc. I took my son here because I told him about the great service EVERYTIME. I have not had service this bad in a long time. You cannot have good food without good service it just messes up the whole experience. So sad to spend over 100 dollars and get better service at a fast food place. read more

The food and service are still are respective levels but $3.25 for soda?! I think the Private Equity Firm owner needs to review their balance sheet. They obviously don't know soda sales are on a decline over the past 5+ yrs. read more

Not good:. I ordered the Baked Harbor Lobster and two of the half's of lobster were not cooked fully..the shrimp was curled put strangely not pink & white but clear like see through, the broth was watery with no hint of white wine flavor. The cook recooked some shrimp and it came out the same way, I googled cooked shrimp and found none that resembled the ones served! He said he steamed it so steamed is the new baked?.. ugh ..not returning, oh and my salad had a chunk of end root piece of the lettuce mixed in. read more

Never order from this place. Their website offers delivery, but they process it as a pick up. The first lady I talked to was snippy and rude as hell, and her manager was even ruder. Now my refund is tied up for a week. Thanks for the glitch on your website. Super inconvenient and misleading. read more

When we were seated we noticed the manager reviewing an associate right next to us. We could hear everything, he was taking about her shifts and how she couldn't ask for time off, the girl couldn't get a word in. We received our food and both our server and food were great, but as the night progressed we kept seeing the same manager review different associates in a sort of demeaning manner, all throughout the restaurant. We then realized that none of the servers really smiled, or were very talkative. Shows how much management can impact customer service through inappropriate on the floor negative reviews to its associates. Environment is no good, too tense. Sad. read more

Food was delicious. Service was great! Our server was Aaron who was courteous and quick to meet our needs. I would definitely recommend it!

Came here for my birthday lunch last Sunday & it was great. I've been to many, many Red Lobsters before but what made this one better were all the employees. Our waitress was a really sweet African American girl who was very attentive. The restaurant was really busy because it was lunch time on a weekend, however, this waitress was wonderful! I really wish I knew her name. I got the coconut shrimp which is always yummy & the chocolate cake for dessert. It was SO chocolatey good! They sang happy birthday to me & were genuinely nice read more

Food is usually good but real disappointed. I brought my 85 year Mom in and wanted fish and chips. She eats like a bird. No senior meal. Had a smaller lunch meal but no she had to order a full dinner. Ate 15-20% and took the rest to be thrown away I'm sure. I don't think a lunch portion would be too much to ask next time she wants fish I guess we need to go to skippers dven though I'd prefer Red Lobster. read more
