This place wasn't at all what I had expected. Our food was so salty with no flavor. After spending $150 the only thing we liked were the cheddar biscuits. We'll pass on this restaurant. read more

Typical Red Lobster. They were out of the dish I wanted. They said it was really popular over the weekend. It seems like that happens a lot at every Red Lobster so they can get rid of the other food. I remember when the wait staff were professional and the chain was upscale dining. The price is still up there, but the only professional looking person in the whole place was the hostess at the door. read more

Great food amazing service they messed up our order and gave us all free deserts for the wait! Clean and friendly read more

Bad taste all around, literally and figuratively. I went there on a recent night for dinner at the bar and it was just all around horrible. Starting with the service, I sat down and was met with a cold stare like I was salesman before I heard a grumpy "can I help ya!". I asked for a menu and some water which I got 20 minutes apart. After I ordered the food came out and was placed damn near 5 feet from me (no joke) and I had to beg for utensils and remind them of the water I asked for. It was so bad I didn't even finish my food. I left my plate, requested the check, paid and for the first time in a long while left $0 in tips. Yes, it was that bad. EDIT: And yes the lobster bisque is too salty. All these reviews can't be wrong. Please, if you're reading this DO SOMETHING! read more

Clam chowder was mostly potatoes, milk and a very few small, terrified clams. Canned is better.. Our server was nice, but overwhelmed. All food was served at the same time.. Trout was not flaky but, dry! I'm not sure what the Orzo actually was.. Once upon a time, the Red Lobster was good. Ithas now become, "The Dead Lobster" My wife ordered the same meal and had the same experience.. read more

I order a bowl of lobster bisque with a half dozen of their signature biscuits. I like to dunk the biscuit into the bisque. Very tasty. The quality is fairly consistent. Every now and again, I will order a shrimp or seafood combination entree along with the soup & roll.. It's obvious the shrimp (seafood) has been frozen prior to preparing & serving, which is a shame. Seafood tastes so much better when it's fresh. When I am in the mood for lobster bisque, Red Lobster is the only place I've found that offers the fare on a regular basis. In terms of freshness, taste and quality, each item listed rates 2.5 stars - fair at best. I would not recommend Red Lobster to friends, family or strangers due to below standard seafood. read more

If I could I give them 0 star its a disappointment to come to a seafood restaurant and they can't cook the one thing there named after. Having the server tried to defend the food was not smart he should have taken the comments to the cooks sent it was way over cook, all the food was. Not only that he never came back with what we ask before leaving, shouldn't have even payed for any of this I will never be coming back and will tell everyone I know not to go sent they can't cook and was poor service. Need better training for everyone that works there. read more

Terrible and damn how can you even say that the lobster you serve is from Maine...whatever? If in fact if it is lobster from Maine you sure as heck don't have a clue how to prepare/cook it!!!! Sent the lobster back and it was replaced with the same SALTY RUBBERY alien piece of something that I could not even eat! The baked potato was good. The cheddar biscuits were great The service was great I will NEVER go there again!!! The steak was lame and the lobster was the worst I've ever had!!! read more

Good seafood every time we go. Nice friendly service and clean restaurant. I'm still impressed with the overall experience and food quality at Red Lobster restaurants read more

Order curbside pick up, said my order would be ready by 404 waited till 415. Had to go inside. Took a minute to get anyone's attention. Received my order, took it home. Opened it, and 1 of the 2 sauces that came with my order seemed to be non-existent. Brought my order back, then was shown that the sauce was in the bag and not in the container like the other two times I ordered this same order. They offered to replace it for free, so I agreed and said it would be ready in 5 minutes.. 15 minutes later, I had my order. I should have had my food at 4:04 it is now 4:59. read more

Went to Red lobster for dinner a few days ago and had a great experience while there, from beginning to end! We were craving crab and seafood, decided to go there since it's a chain I've gone for years and I've always enjoyed it, this was our first time at this Vancouver location, the hostess was friendly and had a warm smile when we walked in, our waiter was GREAT!! His name is Ben, such a helpful and professional gentleman. Ben thank you for the great service and advice :) We ordered the crab's dream, plus a crab cake, stuffed mushrooms and crab dip!! Out of those mentioned above, everything was delicious besides the crab cake, I didn't really feel it, that delicious crab taste just wasn't there, the other plates however made it up for it quite nicely! Yeah I took one star away just cuz the crab cake!!! Hopefully next time it'll be on point Overall we had a great time, the place was clean, the food was really good, some plates delicious, the mushrooms and the crab dreams Good variety of drinks, and a super cool waiter!! Red lobster we will be back, I will reorder the crab cake next time, please don't disappoint me! read more

Red Lobster - Delicious crab dip and delicious stuffed mushrooms those are a MUST! - Seafood Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

Poor Red Lobster...they're really gone downhill over the last couple of decades. Plus, I think maybe I'm more picky about food than I was as a child. Either way, I don't usually eat here anymore. Occasionally I will indulge is a takeout order of Cheddar Bay Biscuits, because, you only live once right? Anyways, someone who doesn't know me very well decided on a gift card for red lobster as a thank you gift. Night before we fly to Africa...don't want to cook...let's use the gift card. We waited for about 20 minutes and were promptly seated. It was very cold. I wished I had brought a jacket. The quick arrival of the CBB helped. Yum. I ordered lobster mac and cheese. Ben some sort of seafood platter with lobster and scallops and such. The mac and cheese arrived. It was disgusting. Clearly microwaved. The lobster was chewy and uneatable. They literally were charged almost $30 for this. Get out. I had a couple bites and ignored the rest. Ben's plate was ok. Not good. Just ok. The waitress saw that I barely touched the mac and cheese and asked if I wanted something else. I declined. I had filled up on biscuits and Caesar salad. She removed the mac and cheese from my bill, even though I didn't ask her to. Respectable. I can't see myself ever going back. If I ever receive another gift card, I'll just use it for repeated biscuit takeout orders. read more

So I don't need to tell you how great my food is because we all know! Those biscuits and that shrimp scampi! They never fail! We came in for the endless Shrimp! It was about 7pm. We sat in a cozy booth in the bar! There were 5 different Shrimp items you could choose from and you order two at a time. It came with a side item and a salad. What a deal. We stuff ourselves to the rim! We left needing a nap! I always have great food when coming here! This place is great for lunch too! Keep up the great work Red Lobster Team! Those biscuits are just a delight! read more

I order 2 cheesecakes every other week for pick up/take out. 5 weeks ago I picked my order up and found the next day that they charged me for 4 cheesecakes. I called the restaurant and they stated that it would take up to a week to see the refund and that she wasn't exactly sure on the process. 3 weeks later I am still waiting. The following week I ordered again. I always order my cheesecake with NO BERRY sauce. One out of the two had sauce on it so AGAIN I had to waste my time and call the store to see if they could credit me. I talked with a manager(if that's what you want to call him). and he was clueless as to how to handle it. He would look into it and get back to me. Now it's 2 weeks later and I just got through speaking with him. To make a long story short he basically called me a liar and stated he has no clue how that could have happened because they don't put the sauce on the cheesecake. This guy needs to be fired. I know Darden (whom I work for) no longer owns the restaurant chain and it shows. I will never be going here again nor will I ever speak anything positive about them. Calling corporate is a joke as well. Golden Gate Capital. Don't bother calling because you get a human voicemail asking you to leave a message. read more

I have always been a fan of Red Lobster. When the family and I think of seafood "Red LOBSTER" is the first name that comes to our mind. We have always eaten at this location over the past 6 years and the food has always been good We are not sure if it was one of those fluke nights, the stars were night aligned or the cooks were just not having a good night. I had the lobster Bisque bowel. The cost was $8.99. The bisque was extremely thick, It should be a silky and luxurious soup - not chunky. Sad to say it was chucky but also extremely salty. The family and I ordered the calamari appetizer. If your a fan of calamari you will be disappointed. I posted a picture for views to see. The cost of the plate is $11.99 60% of the plate if not more is deep fried veggies. The batter on half of the calamari was not fully cooked. If your looking for a true calamari plate this is not it. The dinner biscuits were also under cooked, you could see the dough. I had the seafarers feast. I attached the picture, it looked great, but looks can be deceiving. The first shrimp I bit into was under cooked. The tomatoes were delicious, the pasta had no taste at all, bland as bland could be. the base of the bowel was drowning in grease and butter. The other dish ordered was the Bar harbor Lobster Bake. I am happy to report the dish tasted extremely well, worth ordering again. My son had the chicken fingers and fries and he reports "Yummy". It appears the restaurant was trying to maintain a fast service to its customers and in the process rushed out the dishes which were not prepared properly. A balance between ensuring food is served in a timely manner is achieved but never at the expense of comprising the quality of food you are serving. read more

Very good food, steak was prepared well with lobster tail very fresh. Colada was also very good and great service.

I messed up my order and the manager (or whoever answered the phone) promptly took care of it. They were so understanding and nice. They moved my order to the Tigard location bcz I mistakenly ordered through Postmates. Order through the Red Lobster website to avoid mistakes. read more

Thought we'd give them another chance, two hours after eating, major diarrhea.....course, Clark County Health Department would blame it on the patron.......I point to tainted food. It's almost impossible to get a good meal that settles right in Clark County anymore......unless you want the ultra-processed stuff some call fast food and that feels like a rock in my gut afterwards. Manager at Red Lobster needs to pull himself away from the bar and test/insure quality food, that's your job! ALL servers, handlers, preparers of food in Washington State should be required to wear rubber gloves at a minimum.....personally, I think that should include face masks! Tis NOT the season to eat out. No wonder Red Lobster is having to file for bankruptcy.... read more

Red Lobster is our go-to seafood restaurant when my husband is craving coconut shrimp. A lot of seafood restaurants offer it but none also offer the pina cola dip with it. So, we were close and this is where we went. It wasn't the lunch hour and it certainly wasn't the dinner hour. Matter of fact, very few customers were inside when we arrived. So, why did we wait to get seated? Where was the hostess? Once seated we noticed the loud couple behind us. Perhaps, talking loudly on the phone wasn't anything they were aware carried into close booths. We were thinking about being asked to move. After all, the dining area was near empty but decided to stay put. We didn't wait long for our server, Shelly, to arrive. She took our drink order, had a "lively" and "loud" conversation in the next booth and then went after our drinks. We were ready to order and she was ready to take that order. However, not so ready to turn it in to the kitchen. Another lengthy conversation with the table behind us and then on to take the order of newly arrived guests. By this time we were calling her "Chatty Cathy" and wondering when our order would make the kitchen. We had to admit that the chatting wasn't just at the tables, kitchen staff's conversation carried over into the dining area too. I guess that's what happens when there's not much going on. When our meal was served we asked the server for ketchup. I use ketchup on my catfish. While waiting I finished off the baked potato and even grabbed a couple shrimp off my husband's plate. Still no ketchup so he decided to go ask for it. Shelly met him half way. Now it was time to pay ..... you guessed it. We sat there and sat there wondering how long we'd wait. Food was good. Server was nice and friendly. However, she wasn't efficient. I understand trying to save steps by making one trip for several guests and it's okay if I'm not the first one and waiting the longest. A server can turn a nice meal into a special one. She can also ruin the experience. She didn't ruin it but she didn't add to it either. Thus, the 3 stars even though the food was excellent. read more

I was at Red lobster for the ultimate shrimp experience and it was great! Customer service is excellent. I definitely recommend it

Absolutely worst seafood ive ever tried in my life. Lobster was literally like microwaved rubber. Shrimp was super dry, rice wasnt fully cooked. Service was horrible. We left with a table full of food. Payed 150 dollars and the best thing i had was the broccoli. Save your money go to Wendys, you'll be more satisfied. read more

Pretty dang good, actually. We ordered the Create your Ultimate Feast and the Ultimate Feast. Dinner started with drinks and Cesar salads. The Amoretto Sour was delicious but the Oldfashion tasted like it was made with fireball... which is not what we wanted nor what we ordered. The Cesar salads were perfectly dressed and tasted authentic. It was a bit salty so taste it before adding salt and pepper. Then came dinner. The lobster Mac is a MUST. It was delicious with large chunks of lobster in a creamy cheese sauce The petite lobster tails were were incredibly tender and delicious. The shrimp scampi was tender and cooked perfectly. It's easy to over cook shrimp, but these were perfectly cooked and tender. The garlic butter sauce was perfect and tasty! I used it to dip the lobster tail in... and those perfectly fluffy cheesy biscuits that RedLobster is known for. Oh! And the shrimp Ragoons.... Omgosh, they were so incredible! The spicy dipping chili sauce was way spicier than I expected. I LOVE spice so this was a fabulous surprise! They were so good! The breaded shrimp was lightly breaded and allowed the flavor of the shrimp to come through. I would say, overall it was a great visit with delicious food! read more

Came in tonight because our son chose this place as his birthday meal. We weren't even there five minutes before a wait staff person toppled his tray, spilling an entire glass of ice water on his back. I realize it was an accident and no scene was made, but they did absolutely nothing to right the fact that he sat throughout the entire meal with his back completely soaking with ice water. We won't return. read more

TAKEAWAY: The server Sherri really made the experience. She was personable, adorable and the nicest woman! If it wasn't for her, it would be like any other restaurant. My boyfriend is a big fan of red lobster. It's the special place he goes to with his family. I hadn't ever been personally, so this was a first time for me. We were greeted at the door with lobsters swimming in a tank. I was told my the hostess I could pick one up and touch it. I think PETA would have a fit over that, but it sounds like an awesome time to me! After the first appetizer, a cheesy potato carb-a-thon! Followed by more cheese in biscuit form! Yum! My main meal was the fish with rice, and it was awesome. It even had a side order of broccoli. I loved having our server, and her attitude definitely made our meal special. PRO: Server Sherri was excellent CON: Expensive read more

I haven't been to a Red Lobster over a decade but returned back since I received a gift card. The last I was in a Red Lobster I had a horrible experience, this time I had a wonderful experience. My waitress was Shawn. She was very knowledgeable, sweet and had good recommendations. Ethan came in and said hi to us too. He thought I was a reggae artist. Which was pretty cool. Because of them, I would return back here. read more

Went for the Endless Shrimp special which was very good. However, my wife is extremely gluten intolerant, so she ordered a couple side dishes from the Gluten-Free Menu. Red Lobster obviously doesn't understand how to prepare food gluten-free because she got so sick so quickly we had to make an emergency stop before we could get home! (and we live less than 20 minutes away). Been in bed since and never more than 12 steps from the bathroom. If you are allergic to gluten -- STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE! read more

Had dinner at the Red Lobster in Vancouver, WA yesterday. We chose the All You Can Eat Shrimp special. Everything about it was perfect! The Shrimp arrived hot and delicious and the sides were very good as well. The presentation was beautiful. The service from Logan D. was exceptional. She was helpful and friendly and she checked on us several times to make sure we were happy. And we were! It was such a great value, wonderful meal and service that we will return very soon. read more

We were in on Thursday August 3rd for our large families birthday celebration. We love red lobster our server Susan was so amazing she truly saved the day. I can't tell you how she went over and above for our family and made us feel so welcome. I wish I could say the same for your manager and host uh that's where you lack in hospitality. This lady deserves to be treated with nothing but respect and value she ROCKS! read more

I came in already knowing what I wanted. The Pirate Bay coconut shrimp is to die for. The shrimp is good, but what really seals it is the pina colada sauce that comes with it. The biscuits are also a huge hit. Updated: Came in for lunch on a Wednesday around 1:00. I had the southwest chicken tacos. They were possibly the best chicken tacos I've ever had. read more

First time dining at this location. It was overall an excellent experience. We went there to celebrate my wedding anniversary. The waitress, Shelly, was very friendly, nice and attentive. We ordered two menu from the crabfest special. All dishes were good with the exception of the King crabs which lacked saltiness. My daughter had the $18 4 course special which was very good. We would definitely go back and dine there again. We also love the 15% coupon which was better than the usual $4 coupon. read more

Great first experience for my wife and I at Vancouver Red Lobster. We ordered no appetizers but had one 20oz Sam Adam and splitted it.

UPDATE: I got a quick response from management at that red lobster asking me to complete a complaint on their website. I did, haven't heard anything back. Been 3 days. Just sat down at the bar, greeted the waitress and she told me it'll be a min. Okay, fine. I waited for 10 minutes in a bar that had 4 tables of 2-4 people and never again did she approach me. No drink order taken, nothing. I was amazed at the pack of service. I left, didn't order food. I was excited for some shrimp and a cocktail, but I guess I'll go to Olive Garden read more
