During my university days, Red Lobster people viewed as high-end seafood dining. Lines were always…read morelong. Wait times ranged from 40 minutes to an hour. The food was always worth the long lines and the wait. I remember the consistency in flavour right up through the late 90's, and then it appeared as though Red Lobster tapered off. It was as if the restaurant had suddenly experienced hard times and shut their doors. Fast forward to now, you can walk in and get a seat without waiting. Now I understand. The location in Matteson is close to my home, so I will pop in on occasion when I do not want to cook at home. The restaurant is never fully empty. Unlike days long ago when large parties occupied tables, that would be no problem now. The restaurant can accommodate multiple large parties at any given time. I tend to opt for fish and chips when I go. There are times when I will switch up and order salmon or any stuffed white fish along with vegetable sides. I would not say that the flavour has fallen off. However, there is something missing that I cannot put my finger on. I know that since the late 80's when I went to Red Lobster most, I had not yet broadened my palate, so I think that cooking and eating Caribbean and West African food primarily have wired my palate for a different set of spices that are not in the recipes at Red Lobster. This is not a bad thing, but it is just that my appetite is more satisfied than wowed. Service is always good at this location. That may be the case because the crowds are so thin that the servers do not come to the table agitated when they take my orders. I usually sit in the bar area. However, because the dining area tends to be mostly empty, the bar area closes so that diners can fill up the seats in the main dining area if possible. Red Lobster may be a cautionary tale of all good things eventually ending. This one in Matteson is holding on, though.

Me and my son went to Red Lobster for the Lobster Fest. I ordered a lobster tail sirloin steak with…read morebaked potato & rice. My son had chicken fingers, fries & apple juice. I asked for the steak to be medium rare, not too pink inside. I would say around 3:40ish our food arrived. My steak was too pink for me. So, I asked for it to be cooked well done. The waitress said to me "You asked for it medium rare". "I know I asked for it medium rare but, can you cook it well done?" "If it's cooked well done. There will be no pink inside & you asked for medium rare". Taken aback. I said "I know i will not have any pink. I just want the steak well done". She got a manager. The manager too replied in the same condescending manner "If it's cooked well done. Then it won't be medium rare. There will be no pink inside & you asked for medium rare". "I understand. I do not understand what the problem is! All I want is the steak cook well done. Forget about the pink. Why can't you just cook the steak well done. What is the problem"? Again, you asked for medium rare & it has pink inside. Cooking it well done. Leaves no pink. Sure, I lost it. "Why are you acting as if I do not understand? Why can't the steak be cooked well done?" The manager wanted to keep arguing with me. I am now very pissed off. Lost for words. Here I am me and my son are out enjoying our day and this is what we receive!!!! Mistreatment. Over a steak that could have just been taken back to the kitchen and cooked well done!!!!!!!! I just want to get out of there. So, I started yelling. At this point the manager and waitress condescending attitude (waitress smiling as if I am getting what I deserved) push me over the edge. I was then told to leave. I would only be paying for my sons' meal. Here you want to charge me for my son meal and he only ate two fries. Plate still full of food. My food sitting on the table barely touched. I mean the table full of food. At the register. I asked the manager for his name and number to Corporate. While waiting for the price of my sons' meal. I am still venting too myself. How I cannot understand what the issue was. I did not ask for anything in place of the steak. I just wanted my steak cooked well done. I no longer wanted it medium rare, and I am being treated as if I am stupid. OF COURSE I AM UPSET!!!! What was the issue?!?!?!?!?!!! Times are this hard that an establishment is telling the customer what they order and implying "Since you order this. I am going to educate you on what a steak or anything looks like. How it's cooked and you should not be asking for anything differently". This is perspective on the situation. With the manager & waitress condescending attitude and the waitress smiling as if "Yeah tell her". Business this BAD should GO OUT OF BUSINESS. I am very disappointed with the whole outcome and all I wanted was for the steak to be cooked well done. To be kicked out of a restaurant and hear my son say, "He is a mean man". For the manager not to give me his name. Tell me I am being disruptive. Point to the bar area. That is completely empty!!!! No one is the area of the front door. Educating me what medium rare and well done is. As if I was just born yesterday. Is out Outrageous. I have never been treated as if I was so stupid in my is an understatement and I have had my share of stupidity from others!!! This experience is over the top!!!! Then the manager had a nerve to lie and say "I tried to give you another steak". What another medium rare stake (he never tried to replace my steak. It was me asking him to just put it back on the grill or however you cook it. I was the one trying to deescalate the situation. Not the manager or waitress)????? I will never return to this location again. Hell, I might never return to another Red Lobster EVER after today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I would have liked a sincere apology, but it is clear to see that a business and employees of that business could care less about morals. I will blast you on every social media post.

They are fairly new so some leeway is needed. I had a chicken sandwich, it came with fries. The…read moreservice is slow, I went through the drive thru and was told to pull forward and that the wait would be 10 min. It definitely was 10 minutes. They dont have fountain pop, definitely a negative. The chicken was slightly over cooked but it was tasty, I just wish they had more choices to put on the sandwich. The choice was mild or hot sauce and pickles. The load you up with fries which is also a good thing. I would come back, I want to try the chicken pieces. My advice to the owners, buy a meat thermometer so the chicken is juicy and invest in fountain pop. Cans are a RIP off to your customers and they know it.

We visited around 4:30 pm on Friday evening and were seated promptly. My brother ordered the ribs, and my sister had the fried chicken. I opted to play it safe and only ordered a grilled cheese sandwich. My brother enjoyed the ribs, but my sister said the chicken had no flavor whatsoever. I had a bite, and I completely agree. It was as if someone just fried the chicken without seasoning it. My sandwich was fine, just as I expected. The fries, however, were nothing special. I assume that they came from a bag in the freezer. We all ordered the cream of chicken rice soup, which was delicious. My sister and I enjoyed it so much that we ordered some to-go. The vibe was relaxed and comfortable. I liked the old Western feel. Our waitress was attentive and friendly too, which was awesome. I'd probably stop in again for another sandwich or burger.

Fresh brewed coffee here also tastes better than at Pilot and Petros and the bill comes out LESS than what you'd expect at a Denny's.

Went there yesterday and was very disappointed with my meal , I ordered the Lobster Roll warm and…read morethe Lobster was over cooked and rubbery when I expressed this to the waiter he asked would I like something else so I ordered 1/2 lb of the fried shrimp and when I asked for the check the waiter asked if I wanted the Lobster packed up and I said no as he advised me after I had ordered the shrimp there policy was if you tasted the food they would not exchange you would still have to pay for it and the cost was $35 for a 6 inch Lobster Roll plus the 1/2 lb or of the Shrimp which was a total of $66.77 I had also placed a order for 1/2 lb of Shrimp take home which I proceeded to cancel, I advised the waiter there should be signage saying that and should be out so customers could see. When I was leaving I stopped and spoke with the owner to suggest they have the signage out and visible for the customers to see not refunds or exchanges if not satisfied , he was very rude not apologizing he stated What should I do just takes loss because you didn't like your order and I stated all other regular restaurants do he stated this is a regular restaurant and besides it's the law and I know because I'm a lawyer and should know and we have the best Shrimp in Chicago but my complaint wasn't regarding the Shrimp it was the Lobster Roll the Customer Service from the Owner and his rudeness is why I will never go there again even if you have good food doesn't give you the right to treat frequent customers in such a way I will not be returning and I will let all my family as Well as my Church family not to come back as I'm African American and he seems to have an issue with treating us with respect as I have saw other reviews by other African American's stating the same.

Incredibly crowded due the occasion and we were still seated right away with no waiting (reservation made). Our server was very nice and pretty fast considering how many tables she was covering. I enjoyed the mahi mahi and shrimp with jasmine rice and broccoli. This is probably the first place I've went to that has seasoned broccoli that is cooked good. Delicious!!! The rice and shrimp was also cooked perfectly. The mahi mahi was tiny, overcooked and dry which are the reasons I knocked off a star. My mom loved her meal (salmon, rice and broccoli) which is what mattered most. Overall Bonefish is a real good restaurant with delicious food. Ive never had a bad experience and have tried many different options on the menu.

The atmosphere is nice. The food is okay. The service... she was OVERWHELMED. And she made that very known. I don't blame her. But she shoulda known and maybe called off if she thought she couldn't handle it. But definitely management should've put more servers "on" for that WHOLE DAY. We were there for longer than TWO hours. TWO HOURS. Most of that time WAITING on service. The bread and pesto that comes complementary... delicious. We also ordered the Bang Bang Shrimp. Also pretty good. I ordered the Chilean Sea Bass. The bass was seasoned and made pretty great. The asparagus that came with it also very good. I ordered the Au Gratin Potatoes. This portion is shareable and incredibly cheesy. My husband ordered the Filet and Lobster Ravioli. The asparagus. Good. The Ravioli. Good. The steak came over done. They did redo it AND his whole meal. Which was so nice. But that took TIME. Again. We were there TWO hours. We also added lobster tails to each meal. This would've been better if I had eaten it first when it was still hot but that's on me. The women's bathroom was in need of much attention. Gross. There is a lot for parking. Would I go back? Sure. If I'm not paying. The food is decent. The service is LACKING. But perhaps it would be better on a different day... service is EVERYTHING to me. I've stated this on multiple reviews. I'm disappointed. I wanted to love it. I will add, the table next to us said that Bone Fish was their fave. So MAYBE give it a try...

The food at Stoney Point Grill in Homewood was honestly disappointing, and the menu was not what I…read moreexpected at all. For the pricing, I expected much better flavor, quality, and overall creativity. The shareables were overpriced, the drinks were mid-level at best, and nothing really stood out enough to justify the cost. The space itself is nice and works well as a social spot or sports bar atmosphere where you can sit, talk, watch games, and enjoy company. That part of the experience was probably the highlight. However, the service was also lacking because the restaurant seemed noticeably short-staffed. It took a long time to receive attention and proper service throughout the visit, which added to the frustration. Overall, the location and atmosphere have potential, but the menu, food quality, drink execution, pricing, and staffing experience need major improvement to match the type of establishment they appear to be aiming for.
