What was I thinking? After watching the crab leg commercials for RL, I went for dinner. Other then beer and my salad, everything else, biscuits, potatoes, corn, crab legs, pasta was sooooo obnoxiously SALTY! I add salt & pepper to my food, but was so bad. After 4 bites, my lips were so shriveled from the salt. They offered something else. If everything in front of u is salty how can they fix the problem. Oh yes, my, side of pasta and theirs in the menu....haha! This will be one of my most horrible meals! My bartender server did a great job. read more

Was hoping for an average take out meal..... Arrived back in town from the left coast and wasn't wanting to cook, so had a gift card for Red Lobster that was expiring. Anyway, gave up eating at this chain well over 10 years ago and will go another 10 before attemting again. Here's the quick details: Ordered by phone and the staff person was courteous and seemed attentive. Good start. Ordered a wood grilled meal consisting of scallops, shrimp and a lobster tail over rice pilaf. Sald and their bizkits. Sounded good. Order ready promptly and curbsided by a another courteous staffer. All good there. Got home opened up the bag 'o food and put it on a plate. Looked good. THEN thought i'd eat it....HORRIBLE! No taste, defintely straight from freezer. Disappointed and lesson learned. Good service and bad food. It's just another chain which I typically don't patron. Sorry Red Lobster, you're just not for me these days. Was great back in the 90's when I had a budget. 2 stars for the really good staff. read more

The atmosphere is great, there are many servers but it still took 20min for the only thing I wanted, a clam chowder. I wish they offered military discounts. read more

We took our parents here for Dads 75 th Birthday. We arrived right at opening . We were greeted rudely by Amber who we obviously inconvenienced. She snapped at our parents when they asked to be close to the bathroom due to our dads need to use a cane. This young girl needs manners and another line of work if she can't treat people with respect!!! read more

First off let me say that our waitress really good. Besides that I was very unhappy. I had my 93-year-old mother and they would not allow her to sit down yet they let family sit down and wait. This is not how you treat a senior citizen. read more

My coworkers and I ordered food from the Winchester Red Lobster for lunch. When we went to pick the food up the lady who did the online order pick up was so rude and nasty that I literally wanted to cry. There was a mix up with the orders and instead of her trying to fix it she snapped at me and raised her voice. I called the management to complain and was told they would speak to their employee, and send a gift card to compensate for her clear lack of customer service. I have never heard from them. My advice is NEVER EVER EVER order take out during lunch or anytime for that matter, from this location. If the lady who does pick up is working she has a terrible attitude and it is just not worth the time. I'd also like to note the manager was nice, however do not make empty promises to customers and not follow through. read more

This place has really gone down in quality. We went there for lunch today. We ordered appetizers. Which came quickly. We placed our lunch order. Which also came immediately after the appetizers with such a clatter. She loudly dropped dishes on our table! My husband ordered lobster (a dish that had two tails) but was soooo over cooked. I ordered Steak cooked medium but is was so dry. The Caesar salad I had included the stalk end of the head of of lettuce! I had lobster bisque which was congealed! The best part of my meal was the coffee I had with my dessert! read more

My wife believes the biscuits are to die for! I've been coming here 1-2 times a week always ordering the sailors platter. This week they wouldn't honor my coupon on the SnipSnap app, so I'll trim my visits to 1 per month. Other then that keep the seafood coming. read more

The ultimate platter has a baby 3" lobster tail and an upgrade of "dungeoness crab legs" that are 4" long. What a waste. The only bonus was the server. Taylor was personable and attentive. I didn't hassle her about the crap food. It wasn't her problem. Very disappointing!!! read more

I love going here for lunch. The staff is friendly. Service is great. Prices and atmosphere are the same as any other RL. The bathrooms are always clean. I generally get the clam chowder and the shrimp nacho appetizer when they have it though I always have to ask them to hold the cilantro and they always do read more

I LOVE the Red Lobster here in town, the service is always great, the drinks are always good and the food is always fresh. I love the snow crab legs and the Lobster nachos. It's as close to Myrtle Beach seafood shacks as it gets in Winchester, VA. read more

I went with a party of four people, and we waited over 2 hours for food. We received our appetizer, and we waited over an hour for our food to arrive and nothing was brought. The table next to ours received their salads, that you get before your meal, and we didn't even get ours (they were seated 30 minutes after we had ordered everything). We talked to the manager and asked to get our food to-go, but there was still over 15 minutes of waiting until our food would be done. The same thing happened to us on a previous visit here. If I could give it under 1 star I would. read more

I have ordered Seafood Bake 3 times here. Very good value and also tasty. Lobster tails, shrimp, mussels and other seafood on a bed of pasta. What a party in my happy stomach! read more

My husband took me here for a birthday lunch the food was great as usual but our waiter Trevor was absolutely the BEST we have ever experienced! Hope when we go again he will be there we certainly WILL request him! read more

Last 2 years ago, I'd a bad experience for the 1st time. And, I would love to come again on "full dining red lobster's restaurant". This is my 2rd time and last chance for Red Lobster. Well, I had to grab my silverware from the other table myself. I've been here for dinner and ordered 4 course: soup, salad, salmon, and brownie. My salad was so old and not fresh as you can see in the pictures. Also, server told me salmon was out after we finish soup( I didn't eat salad). Really Seafood restaurant? No Salmon? So we have to wait for a while to get my entree. My 4 course likes a cheap and poor meal. No more for Red lobster in my life. read more

Boring, buttery and not fresh tasting. Close down the restaurant and convert this business into a biscuit factory. The biscuits are the reason this place is still open. read more

i would give this resturant a 5 if it wasnt for 2 of thier employees. The food is always good and usually the service is excellant. But if you sit in the bar section and he Bartender waits on you expect bad service. You will always have to wait for drinks she will take forever to bring your food out. Usually it comes all at once so you wont have time to eat apps or salad before your meal is brought out. Then there is the scruffy long haired blonde guy. Stay far away from him. He is always rude. I have had him actually argue with me and tell me that I did not know what I was talking about when he brought me the wrong food. I am at the point where when I go in I make sure I am not seated in either of thier sections, If I dont then I always have excellant service and great food. read more

Came here last night for dinner, had a minor ordeal with our seating arrangement but that aside our waitress was great. I had the lobster pizza which was a bit salty, even the waitress said a few people had told her the same thing (not sure why the problem hadn't been solved yet then? heh), but it was still edible. Mom had one of there 4-course meals, she said her pork chop was tough, and the brownie and ice cream dessert was a bit on the small side. read more

Standard Red Lobster experiences -- we've been here a handful of times in the past few months and have not had any issues. Lunch prices have crept up, but still a good deal for the amount and quality of food you're getting. read more

This was not our best dining experience at red lobster. Server came over quickly and took order. Biscuits and drinks came quickly. But it took a half hour for our meal to arrive. Then we had to ask another server to get ours so we could order desert. Had the lobster, scallops and shrimp plate. Was ok but not worth the wait. The carrot cake tasted like store bought and just so-so... All in all - has this been our first visit - it would be our last. read more

When we got to the door, a gentleman held the door for us and we were promptly seated. Our server, Megan, was very polite and very knowledgeable and had a smile.(I always take note of that. She seemed very friendly) Food was pretty good. A bit pricey and my garlic shrimp were a bit too buttery for my taste but my girlfriend LOVED her crab legs. We enjoyed our dining experience and will be back! read more

Food was good but we were seated by the kitchen. Really detracts from the dining experience. Got lobster...the grilled one was over-cooked and tough. The rest of the meal was good. read more

Wonderful evening. The hostess were the BEST! The food was good. Nice atmosphere. The place was clean and the bathrooms were tidy.

Green salad arrived with a big black fly perched partially under a purple onion. Had to request bill be taken care of, they only wanted to take off an appetizer. Hmm. read more

The service was great.The food left much to be desired! Shrimp was drowned in butter substitute! Lobster tail was the size of a Mud bug! The only thing good was the bread!! That was a two tripper...once in ,once out.I'll never patronize there again! read more

November 20, 2015. We called ahead and asked for reservations at 2 pm and said that they could only bumb us up to the front of the list when a member of the party arrived. When we arrived at 7 pm we sat in the lobby for 1 hr waiting for a table. We asked how much longer and they told us that we had to wait for a party table. ( only one set there ) They didnt ask for they other party to leave or push some tables together. They put no effort in their work. Durring the time we were waiting the host's behind the counter made a derogatory comment about me. ( " that kid is fat " ) After this comment our party of 12 left. Im never going back to red lobster in Winchester agian, until their host staff changes. I HOPE THE MANAGER SEE'S THIS. read more

No reservations, not even call ahead Seating on Valentines day. Boo! Thats badd juju for your loyal customers. But, Michelle was awesome. Beautiful inside and out, even after all the hours she had already worked, she had a flawless performance as our server and even went above and beyond to make sure our feasts were perfect even though we had our opersonal tweaks to the delicatessen. Even recommended a great dessert. Drinks were never empty, and she seem to never break a sweat. Great job!0 read more

I had high expectations. Took my wife here for our anniversary diner as it use to be a nice restaurant chain. I guess that was 25 years ago. The restaurant was dark dated and empty. When we walked in the hostage walked us by the 20 empty tables to sit us in the back of the bar at a small two person table. Although the other two couples we able to sit at the full size tables. The server was preoccupied with other things. Ordered the lobster bake. It was terrible rubberized low low quality seafood covered in so much pepper that it made my nose run. I am upset that I spent 25 dollars on this junk that they had the nerve to call it seafood. Some one should tell them that Maine Lobster is red and clean. Red Lobster serves small dull light pink badge and brown lobster covered in barnacles. Someone should tell there creative marketing department there food does not resemble the picture or the descriptions. We also ordered the south western tacos with chicken. Horrible pressed chicken like you get at the deli covered in a gallon of brown sauce to cover the taste. To conclude the restaurant is the chucky cheese of the seafood world a McDonald's fish sandwich would be a step up from red lobster. read more

Since I was a child I have always loved this restaurant unfortunately my parents decided to take me there for my 26th birthday dinner along with several of my family members. I found the atmosphere to be great but the portions were extremely small. A $30 plate of food ended up being about 8 mouthfuls of seafood. The rest of my meal consisted of buttered noodles. My elderly parents refused to let me raise the issue with the waitress or the manager on duty however their food wasn't the greatest either they ordered crab legs which you had to perform surgery on in order to get a mouthful of food out of. In my opinion the meal was terrible terrible. Especially considering the amount of money that we paid for it. I will not be going back there for any more family dinners if I can help it. read more

Most over rated restaurant in America I wouldn't take my dog here to eat. Some people in this world have no clue what seafood really is.

Finally Red Lobster got it right!! I ordered the crab legs, they are large and delicious on several visits I made to this restaurant. I usually go to Joe's Crab Shack because of the larger size but that has changed, so now I go to Red Lobster. If you want professionalism, an infectious smile, and courteous service, Carly is the answer. I get OK service there usually but if you want outstanding service and a pleasant dining experience ask for her! I'm not a friend, family member or have any interest in her other then I like to have quality service!! read more

Just spent $70 on a late lunch for two. Waitress was okay but we still felt rushed in a non crowded restaurant. It seemed she had a "I don't give a sh.." attitude and was tired of waiting for us to look through the menu as she came back about every 60 seconds. I generally don't want to be rushed when eating, I'd like to relax and enjoy the food I'm spending $30 a plate for. It's not like the place was packed at 3pm on Sunday. We ordered and asked for a substitute item, like grilled vs. fried, we were unknowingly up-charged. I think if there's an up charge I should be made aware of it at the time of order. My wife's salad had a visibly rotten tomato on it, the employees apparently don't pay attention while making them, also the waitresses response was "oh sorry about that", not I'll take it off your bill or I'll get you a different salad. The crab was overcooked when it got to the table which made it difficult to get the meat out. Not what I expected from steamed crab. The lobster tail was okay but not presented well. It looked like they just threw it on top of the rice. If there is a picture of what the dish is supposed to look like on the menu, it better look that way when it gets to my table. The shrimp scampi also looked like it was just tossed in the broiler bowl. It is normally placed in neatly so that you can grab it by the tail. Overall we thought the service of the waitress was a D. The food presentation was an F and the food preparation was a D. I do not recommend this location to anyone. They'll need to greatly improve if they want my business again. read more

We went during the ENDLESS SHRIMP promotion ON A SATURDAY NIGHT! and HAD THE BEST SERVICE EVER!! Yes, there were lots of people but the bar staff (where we ate) truly worked as a team and the way the food came out effortlessly is was like they had rehearsed it. Good job Briann and team! Food was tasty too. read more

Fool me once, shame me on you, fool me twice, shame on me. This is our 2nd try of this particular restaurant. Family of 4 went there for a treat. Crabfest ($$$) for 3 and steak for 1 ($$). Comments: VERY MEAGER portions, food was mostly cold and lacked flavor; in fact some of it just tasted bad. Some 'sides' had extra cost (I wasn't paying attention when ordering; shame on me), and when they arrived they looked overcooked (a little burned in fact). Ate as much as we could but left very hungry. The 1st try was a year or so ago just with my wife and that too was a big disappointment (rubbery lobsters ($$$), yummy) . Service was good on both visits but the entire meal and dining experience (both high cost) was a HUGE disappointment and I actually left apologizing to my family. I'd recommend any fast food restaurant over this place. read more

We went to Red Lobster after an hour wait and not getting seated at the Texas Roadhouse on a Wednesday evening. We had a party of 10 for my son's birthday. My daughter called Red Lobster from her cell while we were still at the other restaurant. The Red Lobster staff was very friendly and apolgetic for our bad experience at Roadhouse. They told us that we would be seated as soon as we get there, and we were. They had our tables ready and started taking our drink orders as we were coming in. We had drinks and bisquits on the table in no time. The service was great. The staff was friendly and accomodating. The food was good too. Love those bisquits. I will return again. read more

Not too bad. We went in on a Thursday for the Endless Shrimp. The first serving of shrimp was delicious, but then the second and third rounds were extremely SALTY. It's like they really tried to get us to stop eating that shrimp. read more
