What People Are Saying About Red Lobster

In Short – Live lobsters wriggle in a tank inside this seafood emporium, where nautical-patterned booths and colorful, fish-shaped tables in the bar area add subdued touches of whimsy to the room's classy dark wood accents. The menu can be downright decadent, with starters of artichoke lobster dip, seafood fondue, and crab-stuffed mushrooms. Entrees feature lighter, grilled fare like mahi-mahi and North Atlantic sea scallops, along with signature lobster dishes, snow crab legs, and jumbo fried shrimp platters.

Red Lobster was such a disappointment. The shimp trio, while served impressively on a large platter, was a combination of smallish fried shrimp, small shrimp in butter, and just slightly bigger than bay shrimp with linguini. I think the best part of the meal was the linguini, which was creamy and had good flavor, tho again, clearly had sat for awhile, waiting to be served (the sauce had thickened on top). It looks like Red Lobster, in trying to keep prices reasonable, "shrimp-sized" the quality of their seafood. Remember also that this is a chain restaurant and has the rushed, no personality feel of one. We were in and out in 35 minutes on a Saturday night. I won't be back.
Great food

Although we waited 45 minutes to be seated when the hostess said it would only be 20 minutes, it was well woth the wait. It's a bit pricey, but hey it's SEAFOOD you're paying for....i had the Ultimate Feast which included lobster tail, crab legs, and shrimp....it was REAL good too. Our server was okay but not the best.
How could you not like it?

Okay, I've gone to Red Lobster SO many times, and it's by far one of my favorite seafood places. No, it's not trendy and you're probably not gonna run into some potential date there, but dang, if you want some good food...you gotta go. The atmosphere is casual and relaxing (but sometimes noisy).
The Cheddar Bay Biscuits served before the meal (instead of bread) are out of this world! And there's so much yummy seafood to choose from, and it's all so good!
The service has always been really great (no complaints at all), but if you go on a Friday or Saturday night, you'd better expect to wait for seating, as it can get really crowded (testament to how good it is).
- Pros: Great Food
