It’s been awhile since our last visit to Red Lobster. Can’t figure out why!

My family and I went to this restaurant after a long day of traveling. I ordered a medium rare steak and the waitress brought it to the table burnt as rubber. After I made a comment about how it looked and how tough it was I was told to cut into it first to see if it was right. Eventually, they made another one. The service was horrible as well as the food. If I could give them zero stars I would. This is awful!

My husband and I met for a late lunch. He is a fan of endless shrimp and he loved the new options. My steak was undercooked, but the waitress, Leigh, corrected the problem. Leigh was attentive, friendly and available when we needed something. She made our dining experience that much better. I didn’t give them 5 stars because I think their prices have increased too much. But I would definitely give Leigh 5 stars.

Waited 30 minutes just to get bread. Did not even get salad or appetizers at this point and had to go ask for the manager. I was told this was his 2nd day on the floor and I can appreciate that but there were probably 4 tables in the entire restaurant that were seated. My mom is elderly and disabled and it’s really frustrating when you try to take her out and this is what happens because she rarely ever gets out. I could be sympathetic if they were busy. If you could even communicate to me that there was an issue in the kitchen…. Absolutely nothing. Very frustrating.

Took my girl here for dinner. Shout out mr biden for covering the tab. Take your girl here. You already know what’s up with it afterwards.

We had a wonderful and great tasting dinner. Our waiter Curtis was excellent. The drinks were off the chain. The manager April Miller always knows what outstanding customer service is all about!

Casual chain style seafood – ample portions and lot of parking. Visited at lunch time, service was good but some tables appeared to need some cleaning. Waitstaff was friendly. Overall, a good choice because they have something for everyone – even the non seafood person.

Went here last night for birthday dinner. Was never seated after an hour wait left. I was on way and put us on waiting list. Got there checked in was told 20 minutes even though app had said 15 minutes. Okay that is fine we will wait 20 minutes. 20 minutes turned into an hour. Ask hostess how much longer it would be she stayed 10 minutes. 10 minutes came and passed still waiting. Got up and left. Lots of tables that were empty I guess staff not able to work it. Will not visit again!

Red Lobster – as every restaurant during the height of Covid – had it’s own unique challenges with staffing and menu item availability. There were times that we visited Red Lobster in 2020 and 2021 that we actually wondered if the restaurant chain would survive.

Husband and I just left and wow – boy did this Red Lobster surprise us! After not being in one for several years, we took a chance. It was EXCELLENT! The food was hot and fresh (lobster/shrimp/scallops), and the service was truly awesome! Our server Cody was attentive, knowledgeable and overall 5 star for sure! We will definitely be back!! Thanks for a wonderful meal!!
