Visited this place for a Friday happy hour. I honestly haven't been here in well over a decade! However, since I heard about the Cajun boils I thought let's give this spot another shot! It was pretty empty when we arrived and we were seated immediately.
The Good:
Our happy hour drink (Tito's lemonade I believe) didn't have much alcohol, however, the manager gave us an extra shot in our drink which we greatly appreciated! Fantastic service on his part! I liked that he came out and explained how he can accommodate us with our drinks!
Areas of Improvement:
We had the Sailors Seafood boil - Cajun Original
Wayyyyyy too spicy! We enjoy a mild Cajun flavor so this did not really appeal to us
Lacked butter and flavorful seasoning
Some of our red potatoes were not fully cooked and hard
Some of the corn was also under cooked
Potatoes and corn should melt in your mouth.
I love my potatoes to be tender! We should not have to go home to finish cooking food.
The shrimp were over cooked and tough.
I took home the leftovers to see what I could do with this meal. This bag was full of oil not a good seasoning just oil.
Recommendations:
Make sure all of the food is tender! Please do not overcook the seafood!
The Cajun original seasoning needs some serious work.
There should be a mild buttery Cajun flavor option
Add some butter to your boils not just a bunch of oil
Make sure to be a bit more generous with the alcohol in the happy hour drinks!
Hopefully Red Lobster will take these tips and this review into consideration. Keep at it! read more
