When we arrived, the gentleman at the front was on a call and never made eye contact or acknowledged us. After waiting about five minutes, I was nearly ready to leave, but another staff member came in and kindly seated us. Unfortunately, the service remained very slow throughout the meal. Nearly everything took 20-30 minutes, and we eventually had to flag down staff ourselves to keep things moving. There was also an error with one of our sides, and our appetizer bread only came after we flagged someone down to ask about it. The food was actually quite good and ultimately saved the experience. Highlights were the focaccia bread, crispy fish tacos, and Brussels sprouts. Overall, the food was enjoyable, but there is significant room for improvement in efficiency, accuracy, and customer service. Several members of the team could benefit from additional training.

After hearing rave reviews from multiple friends, we finally gave the Chowder House a try. We loved…read morethe nostalgic, 1970s charm of the interior, but the meal itself was highly disappointing due to a major grease issue. The Food: Fried Artichoke Hearts ($7.50): Not crispy at all and very greasy. The dipping sauce lacked seasoning and just tasted like heavy oil. Snow Crab Legs ($39): 4/5 stars. A little overcooked, but overall tasty and the highlight of the meal. Fried Fish Sandwich ($11) & Fries: The bread on the sandwich was delicious, but both the fish and the fries were incredibly greasy. This spot is always packed and clearly has a loyal following, so I don't know what happened during our visit. I usually adhere to a three-strike rule before judging a restaurant, but the food was heavy enough that we won't be returning.

I immediately knew I was getting the fried bologna sandwich. I was pleased with my choice, and tried some of my Dad's cranberry and turkey sandwich which was also great. My mom got the fried bologna as well but opted for sweet potato fries. She said they were some of the best she's had. It was sleek and clean in the restaurant with ample seating. They had some excellent monthly lunch specials, so I'm looking forward to another trip back!

We were in the middle of our cross-country move when we remembered we still had a gift card from a…read morefriend, so we decided to stop at this location. The last time I dined at Red Lobster was probably around 10 years ago, and honestly, without the gift card I probably wouldn't have thought about coming back. Surprisingly, though, their newer menu had a few interesting options. We ordered the lobster flatbread and a pasta to share. The flatbread was actually pretty good and easily the highlight of the meal, with a nice amount of lobster and good flavor. The pasta, on the other hand, was pretty mediocre and tasted like something you could easily get better at almost any Italian restaurant. The service was friendly and efficient, and the food came out quickly. Overall, it worked well as a convenient and satisfying stop during our road trip.

Red Lobster has been a main staple in our family starting with all you can eat snow crabs (long…read moresince discontinued) to endless shrimp which comes and goes but definitely a place where we would go and over eat. We had not been in awhile since new management took over, endless shrimp was removed, and food and service just were not the same. When we heard endless shrimp had returned we knew we had to go back. Mind you prices for participating in the shrimp free for all has gone up substantially and will set you back 29.99 a person. For me I can no longer eat like that so bowed out of the free for all. My partner in crime was totally on board for participating n the free for all.... While plates come out steadily food quality and taste are just not there. Given the price endless shrimp is no longer the deal it used to be and for the price would rather order quality seafood. The restaurant is in clear need of TLC and has not been updated in many years. Sad as days gone by I remember when endless shrimp was in full swing there would be a wait for a table with all three dining rooms open. Unfortunately, the place is like a tired ghost town which is sad to see and would not be surprised to see it close.

Been hearing good things about this restaurant and finally put it on our bucket list for tonight…read more Erica provided very attentive and friendly service. The restaurant is large with lots of seating plus bar seating. Food, specials. Pork Osa bucco normally over mashed but had their excellent tasting pasta with garlic oil. Pork was large and excellent.

Pros- can't think of a single thing I liked…read more Cons- we went to Michael Ts for an early Father's Day dinner and I couldn't be more disappointed! To start, the fried ravioli was bland and barely had any cheese inside. Then, they were out of the entree I wanted (Prime Rib). Instead I ordered the Filet Mignon. Not only was it over-cooked (I ordered medium and got well) but it was so where near the size they advertise. I eat very clean and weigh all of my portions so I can quickly eyeball what 9 oz looks like and what I was served as only 6.5 oz at the very best. Next, the server was passive aggressive and sarcastic. Overall, this was a terrible experience and I was never go back!

Same easy order and quick pick up but this is my first time being disappointed with the contents with a price tag of $48 and change.
