Some friends of mine have this thing called Fat Fridays! It's the beginning of a debauched weekend when the diets, workouts, no drinking stops on a dime and are thrown out onto the curb! So we went to Red Lobster for Fat Friday! I haven't been to a Red Lobster in like years, so I was kinda tentative about eating here, but the company I knew would be fun so why not! Yup, indeed, the company was fun. As far as the food goes...the menu has changed a lot and for the better! It still has signature Red Lobster fare like all the fried sea food you can think of, served with potatoes cooked in any way imaginable. But they also had sensible dinners pared with nutritious sides! I was amazed. This made for a long time deciding what to get, but I was hungry and had the focus of a lioness on a hunt! I dictated to the table that we have the lobster pizza for starters! no one complained out loud but I feel the daggers come out of your eyes! hahaha I ordered a special dinner called the Hawaiian Isles...four coconut shrimps, salmon with a pineapple teriyaki type sauce, comes with salad, rice, and fries! Yeah...it's Fat Friday! I also had a Mango Mai Tai that was dangerously delicious! It was gone in a sec...almost got brain freeze. Our server was the most gracious and attentive server I have had in a chain restaurant, she was wonderful! My rec...try out Red Lobster again, the food has improved, just be prepared for the lackluster crowd.

We generally sit at the bar for lunch or dinner. Bartender Nate always gives great service! Love the lobsterita it comes with a side car, yummy! Who doesn't like the chedder bay biscuits!!! Great place near the mall!

We've been coming here for our quick lunch/dinner and we think that its gotten better over the years. We think that the biscuits were not that salty anymore which is good. The parmesan crusted tilapia was really good and the broiled halibut was awesome, perfectly cooked and tasted fresh. We love the homemade potato chips that come with the lobster rolls. The Warm Chocolate Chip Lava Cookie was the perfect way to finish your meal, enough to share with your love one. But I wish that they still have the lobster ceasar salad or as a choice to top with your salad coz its one of our favorites. The prices of the food are really fair. LOve the place.

Really, really great service!!! We took our kids & the manager let them pet some live lobster & everything! The food was really, really good too! GREAT shrimp, LOTS of crab meat on my pasta... The ONLY reason we give 4 stars instead of 5, the food was not good reheated! I had leftovers that I was looking forward to eating, but the next day, it tasted like a totally different meal. Not yummy. :( But there, AT the restaurant, GREAT, GREAT, GREAT! OH! And also, it was my son's bday & we were hoping for some sort of treat with the Happy Birthday song, but they just sang & handed him a piece of paper. :/ Other than that, loved it!

Best experience I've had a RL in a longtime. Service was on point and our meals we satisfying and tasty. For the first time in a LONG time I have no complaints from big RED. good work guys, I'll give ya another try sometime. Cheers to lobsterfest and knowing the difference between Maine and Rock lobster, really a step up in my experience.

Never again coming to this overrated places . I got a fish it's was cold and tasted horrible. Not to mention the price for it. Places like this just brings in people because of the name not because of the food. U order a 20 meal and get three or four shrimps on the side and then to find out there cold forget it I rather go to Petes fish and chips. When u order a 20 $ plate u want a wow that is amazing not some half worked throw it in the plate. I don't know about u but I expect an awesome meal now I can compromise if I had paid 5 bucks for the plate then I would not be complaining. Horrible horrible over priced never coming again.

What's the big deal about this place? No matter what I order I'm always disappointed, and the prices are outrageous. Really, there are better seafood places around. The Japanese stakehouse right down the road (other side of the 60) has great mahi and salmon! The casinos all have crab leg and shrimp buffets! Why waste good money on bad food?

I had the opportunity to try out the Red Lobster Lobsterfest the other night, my server was Jeanne! And she is amazing! Loved her and the great service she provided! Started the night out with lobster, crab & seafood stuffed mushrooms, Lobster pizza and Sweet Chili Shrimp, now everything tasted great but I have to say my favorite of those where the Sweet Chili Shrimp, holy cow those are great! Stop ordering the coconut shrimp (don't worry I love those too) and get these Sweet Chili Shrimp. For the entrees, get ready for this, we tried: Lobster In Paradise, Ultimate Surf & Turf, Dueling Lobster Tails, Lobster Lovers Dream, Seaport Lobster & Shrimp, Bar Harbor Lobster Bake Everything was amazing! Lobster in Paradise is split Maine Lobster tail fried in coconut batter, spicy grilled shrimp & lobster & shrimp bake topped with toasted crushed macadamia nuts Ultimate Surf & Turf is a Maine lobster tail stuffed a crab stuffing & baked with a peppercorn grilled sirloin topped with Maine lobster meat in a citrus hollandaise sauce comes with mashed potatoes roasted tomatoes & green beans Dueling Lobster Tails are 2 Maine lobster tails, one topped with tender shrimp in a creamy garlic sauce and one stuffed with crab & seafood stuffing and comes with mashed potatoes, roasted tomatoes and green beans. Lobster Lovers Dream is Rock Lobster tail & a split Maine Lobster tail, roasted with lobster & shrimp linguini alfredo Seaport Lobster & Shrimp is wood grilled split Maine Lobster Tail, shrimp scampi, and skewered garlic grilled shrimp on a bed of wild rice pilaf Bar Harbor Lobster Bake is split Maine lobster tail, shrimp, scallops, mussels & linguini in a garlic & white wine broth While all these dishes are amazing, and every dish had something unique that set them aside from the other dish, my personal favorites where the skewered garlic shrimp, the Maine lobster tail, didn't matter if it was stuffed, baked, sauced, grilled it was DELISH! I also learned that I prefer the Maine Lobster over the Rock Lobster (Rock rock Rock Lobster Down down! B52's Rock Lobster) I had lobster for days, and I still am craving the sweet Maine lobster & sweet chili shrimp! And if you love the coconut shrimp you should for sure try the Lobster in Paradise, omg the lobster in the coconut batter was amazing!! To end the meal I tried the Red Velvet Cake in a Jar that was the perfect ending to a delicious feast! Also was able to meet the Manager Carrie and many other staff members including the chefs! It was a wonderful night and had fun trying so many dishes! I cannot wait to go back!

I had the delightful pleasure of trying out the new Lobsterfest menu at the kick-off party. It was a night I'll never forget. Red Lobster put the show on! Plate after plate after plate of meals came out. I missed the part on the invitation that said, "Come ready to eat enough meals for the rest of your life." In the end the cheesy biscuits did me in. Gosh darn it! Complete Amateur Hour. If you've been to Red Lobster you are familiar with this breaded heavenly temptation. Unfolding napkins to the scent of bread is one thing. Slowly savoring the rich gooey cheese is...well...a moment you have to experience. I should have known better! The Short Review: + Good Food served in generous portions! + Funny welcoming staff + Kick butt drinks STARTERS Out came a plate of stuffed mushrooms (6 pieces), decadently overfilled with lobster, crab and seafood topped with Monterey Jack cheese and baked. If you can, take a peek at my photos. (This advice applies to all of the food I'm going to cover. Words will not suffice here. Seriously!) If you're looking for something with a kick the Sweet Chili Shrimp is for you! (12 pieces) It was for me. I absolutely loved the combination of light crunch and spice. It's not a hard crunch battered shrimp which is what I would have assumed if I was reading from the menu. Out came the Lobster Pizza. Perfectly thin crust and topped with generous amounts of lobster meat, mozzarella, fresh tomatoes and basil. The crust was perfectly balanced and not overwhelmed by the ingredients. (No sogginess!) I could readily see this being a meal for someone. You're still getting the "Lobster" experience and plenty of food. DRINKS We must pause at this juncture to discuss drinks. As my +1 and I had arrived prior to the start of the event we cozied up to the bar. (He also drove. Blessedly. I was able to sample many wonderful things.) With high recommendations I dived into the Bahama Mama. Tall, fruity, Captain Morgan Spiced Rum. They leave a reserve of Captain at the top of the drink. So when you think you're done drinking, no. There's a special kick just waiting for you. Delicious! Moving into the special guest dining room armed with TWO drink tickets I was beside myself. "Really? We can pick *anything* in the drink book menu? ANYTHING?" Jeanne, our bomb diggity server, offered advice and answered many questions. Ultimately I wanted to compare a drink with my growing up roots. That's right. I went with a Top-Shelf Long Island Ice Tea. A premium blend of Absolut, Tanqueray, Bacardi and Patrón Citrónge. The bartenders know what they're doing. Later. (Much later.) I was tempted into ordering the largest looking margarita in history. Grand Patrón Margarita served with a cute sidecar of Grand Marnier. As we were attempting to photograph the ginormous nature of this treasure I was photobombed by a South African. All of the staff on hand, front to back, were super cool. We had a rip roaring time. THE BAR Sitting at the bar, however brief our time was there, was neat. It's a big u-shape and central to the restaurant. If you have time to kill before your reservation there's ample seating. + TV! BACK TO THE FOOD Remember, we ate tons! I was tired. But I channelled my inner gym monologue often, "Suck it up Irene! Keep eating!" (Also, the staff sent us home with shopping bags of doggie bags of food. My +1 scored big time as he took my goodies home!) Dueling Lobster Tails. "Where do I start? Traditional roasted with creamy shrimp and garlic sauce? Or stuffed with crab and seafood? Which one will I like better? There's mash potatoes!" After pausing for a nano-sec. "- And string beans. Not going to waste any space on those!" Well, I did try the string beans because I felt guilty. Everything was wonderful. This meal is perfect for someone who isn't quite sure what they want. I had no idea there was still so much food to come. Bar Harbor Lobster Bake. A roasted split Maine lobster tail, tender shrimp, sea scallops, mussels and linguini in a garlic and white wine broth. My Martha Stewart wanna be instantly thought, "Hey. You could totally pick this up and pass it off as a creation of your own. Toss it in a nice bowl and maybe a fella will be sufficiently impressed by your "cooking" Irene." Hey. If I stock the right beer fridge men believe anything. The mussels were my favorite part in this. Of course everything was delicious. I adored the mussels. They were perfectly prepared and not overly done. If I time the pickup perfectly a future date will think I'm an excellent cook. (Shhh!) Lobster Lovers Dream. Butter makes the world go round. Two very different styles of lobster + alfredo pasta. Ultimate Surf & Turf Must do this again. A Maine lobster tail baked with crab and seafood stuffing. Peppercorn seasoned grilled sirloin topped with Maine lobster meat in a citrus hollandaise sauce. Dessert came. I put my head down. Try the key lime pie.

My food was horrible. The only reason we came was for a friend's birthday. Refills were few and far between. Manager did apologize for the extremely salty drawn butter, offered a different lobster tail for the one I didn't like, but it still didn't replace the fact that it was tougher than leather. Also, our appetizer came out the same time our dinner came out! This is a major pet peeve! I will not be returning!

Came in for dinner ! Not a big sea food eater, but love shrimp. I got the plate with shrimp linguine, butterfly fried shrimp, and shrimp scampi! Finally a place with good shrimp and you get what u paid for. I was shrimped out ! It was awesome ! Will be back !

5 stars for SERVICE! Jane was amazing! We went for a late lunch on Valentine's Day and although the restaurant was full, there was no wait. After Jane introduced herself, she started explaining the menu. The menu! At Red Lobster of all places! Since neither of us were wearing glasses and by appearances would "seem" of average intelligence - it immediately "set me off." (In truth I arrived agitated from bad experience at the Chandler location two years ago, only back due to a gift card.) Okay, okay...calming down...her explanation was informative, her demeanor pleasant, and we ended up taking a couple of her suggestions. Lunch was okay: a shared appetizer, strawberry lemonade, pineapple rum drink and two entrees with baked potatoes and salad. None of it was remarkably good or bad, but a "nudge" better than average considering the price point at $45 before tip. For me Jane was the star!

I'm giving five stars for our server, Heather. She's a little brunette who should probably get a raise. My boyfriend and I dined at this location the other night and were thoroughly impressed by Heather's friendliness, knowledge and experienced nature during our meal. The food was pleasant, especially given we sat down an hour and a half before the closing time and everything went very smoothly. We enjoyed the atmosphere and meal tremendously and were lucky to have had Heather as our server that night. My only regret is leaving her tip on my card instead of in cash!

Nice location, wasn't busy when me and my daughters got there.... We love the cheddar biscuits and I love the Bahama mama drink! The hubby isn't a fan so he didn't eat but, he's driving so I get to drink lol. Waitress was pleasant always checking on us, the kids enjoyed looking at the fresh lobster. Didn't wait too long for the food, and when we left we were very satisfied! Will come back to this location! Parking was easy too, and it's right Across the street from the mall for walking off your meal!:-)

Tonight, hubby and I celebrated our cotton year (second) anniversary at Red Lobster. And this was my third time going to any Red Lobster. Anyway, we had been craving seafood and decided to make it happen today. We told the server, Kayla, it was our special day and she seemed genuinely interested. I mean she asked if we were celebrating anything special? So, I'm thinking "free dessert" or something-- oh no, just the words happy anniversary written on our overpriced check! The place was nearly empty when we walked in at 4 PM but our server was apologetic every time she came back to our table because she was always gone too long. Other than that, the food and drinks sure did make our bellies smile. Snow grabs: $18.99 Dual Lobster Tails: $28.99 Sangria "Juice": ? Bahama Mama: ? Lesson on eating out on our big day: Pricey;-)

I'm going with 2 stars because I like the biscuit. And the service was good. But I feel like I just ate a 20 dollar plate of McDonald's. Meaning how many chemicals did I consume over the course of the meal. It could be my nutty mind but that's how I felt. And I don't remember reading or seeing Ads claiming the food is healthy or all natural.

Horrible! We moved here from San Diego and red lobster was one of our weekly restaurants, so you could imagine how disappointed we were to have such a bad experience here at this local red lobster. I guess that's what we get for going to a seafood restaurant in the middle of the desert.our waitress was great.very nice and attentive.the food was terrible. we ordered an appetizer and a salad which came out at the same time.which would not have been so bad except the entrees came out two bites into the salads.so need less to say we had to choose whether we ignore our appetizer or our dinner.our appetizer went cold.i would have spoken up, but the manager walked past our table 7 times ignoring us every pass.but yet he spent the entire dinner 4 tables down talking to some guests that I could only assume we're his friends. all this could be ignored if the food itself wasn't so bad.i will not be returning to this restaurant and I will make sure to advise any of my friends, family or customers to steer clear of this place as well.

decided to go to dinner for my 21st birthday. worst experience ever. we brought in a table of 14. spent over $300 and they wouldn't serve me one drink. obviously if you turn 21 on a saturday you can't go to the freaking dmv. thanks for ruining my birthday red lbster with your stupid policy. every where else has at least a 10 day grace period to update your id. manager didn't offer any compensation for our inconvenience. overall food and server was satisfactory.

I love Red Lobster's endless shrimp and delicious biscuits however, I'm sitting here writing this review at my table because I've been here for an hour and a half so far and have yet to get my food! Drink refills are impossible to obtain because our server can't figure it out. In fact, he disappears for 20 minutes at a time without resurfacing from behind the kitchen doors. I couldn't even leave if I wanted to because I can't get my check! I'll update my review with food reviews if our food ever arrives...

Bryan S.
The food was excellent. The service was very good as well. The only reason I gave them 3 or of 5 stars is because of the wait for a table. The restaurant was only half full and we waited for over an hour to be seated. There is no excuse for this.

Standard Red Lobster fare. We dined in and had a good experience. The restaurant was a little dead, but the service was great and the staff was very friendly. I'll definitely do lunch here sometime.

Had the shrimp and lobster. It was OK. The salad was fresh. The rolls were hot and tasty. The lobster was kind of dry. The shrimp scampi was kind of mushy. The baked potato was OK. All in all, it was OK, but not great. The service was initially good, but then it took forever to get our second order of drinks.

The recent remodel of this Red Lobster really improved the physical appearance. Less nautical and more upscale and classy. The portions of tonight's dinner were larger than prior visits (enough for two meals). The food was very good. We went with our usual crab alfredo. It is no longer on the printed menu, but is still an online order option and is available in the restaurant if you request it. The servers were prompt and friendly.

Very disappointing. Had to go to Phx for a training and arrived later than expected last night and HUNGRY. Our hotel was super close to RL and we were excited to get dinner. I'm not sure if the fact that we arrived at 8pm explains how lacking the food was... or if I'm just trying to find an excuse for RL and how bad the food was. L and I have been fans of Red Lobster for years. We don't often get there but when we do, we are all set with our regular order of the popcorn shrimp. Our server was very quick to get the food out, which seems like a good thing but was also ready for us to leave ASAP. I'm a bit confused by this because the restaurant is open until 10 and we left by 9:15. Back to the food. Generally, I love those warm biscuits that are absolutely terrible for you. Last night, I only had one because it was neither warm or tasty. The salad was meh. The popcorn shrimp was on the cold side and the fries were not terrible but were very salty. The salty fries may have been my favorite thing and that is just plain sad. Decided to go all out and have a specialty drink, which was really nothing special. i ordered the Malibu Hurricane and it sure wasn't anything to excitedly Yelp about! Red Lobster does an excellent job of tempting you with yummy looking commercials and endless shrimp for $15.99 but the reality doesn't come close to expectations.

I'm going to have to say no. The waitress was great, too bad the food wasn't. I ordered the lobster, shrimp and crab legs, potato and rice. I was hungry :-) The restaurant was about 3/4 full and it only took a few minutes to get food. When it did come it was cold, yuck and everything was drenched in butter and salt. My tongue still hurts due to the volume of salt. The lobster tail was as rubbery as a burned steak. I probably shouldn't have eaten it. I remember Red Lobster used to be good for sea food. This is no longer the case.

Plate after plate after plate of meals came out. I missed the part on the invitation that said, "Come ready to eat enough meals for the rest of your life." In the end the cheesy biscuits did me in. Gosh darn it! Complete Amateur Hour. If you've been to Red Lobster you are familiar with this breaded heavenly temptation. Unfolding napkins to the scent of bread is one thing. Slowly savoring the rich gooey cheese is...well...a moment you have to experience. I should have known better! The Short Review: + Good Food served in generous portions! + Funny welcoming staff + Kick butt drinks STARTERS Out came a plate of stuffed mushrooms (6 pieces), decadently overfilled with lobster, crab and seafood topped with Monterey Jack cheese and baked. If you can, take a peek at my photos. (This advice applies to all of the food I'm going to cover. Words will not suffice here. Seriously!) If you're looking for something with a kick the Sweet Chili Shrimp is for you! (12 pieces) It was for me. I absolutely loved the combination of light crunch and spice. It's not a hard crunch battered shrimp which is what I would have assumed if I was reading from the menu. Out came the Lobster Pizza. Perfectly thin crust and topped with generous amounts of lobster meat, mozzarella, fresh tomatoes and basil. The crust was perfectly balanced and not overwhelmed by the ingredients. (No sogginess!) I could readily see this being a meal for someone. You're still getting the "Lobster" experience and plenty of food. DRINKS We must pause at this juncture to discuss drinks. As my +1 and I had arrived prior to the start of the event we cozied up to the bar. (He also drove. Blessedly. I was able to sample many wonderful things.) With high recommendations I dived into the Bahama Mama. Tall, fruity, Captain Morgan Spiced Rum. They leave a reserve of Captain at the top of the drink. So when you think you're done drinking, no. There's a special kick just waiting for you. Delicious! Moving into the special guest dining room armed with TWO drink tickets I was beside myself. "Really? We can pick *anything* in the drink book menu? ANYTHING?" Jeanne, our bomb diggity server, offered advice and answered many questions. Ultimately I wanted to compare a drink with my growing up roots. That's right. I went with a Top-Shelf Long Island Ice Tea. A premium blend of Absolut, Tanqueray, Bacardi and Patrón Citrónge. The bartenders know what they're doing. Later. (Much later.) I was tempted into ordering the largest looking margarita in history. Grand Patrón Margarita served with a cute sidecar of Grand Marnier. As we were attempting to photograph the ginormous nature of this treasure I was photobombed by a South African. All of the staff on hand, front to back, were super cool. We had a rip roaring time. THE BAR Sitting at the bar, however brief our time was there, was neat. It's a big u-shape and central to the restaurant. If you have time to kill before your reservation there's ample seating. + TV! BACK TO THE FOOD Remember, we ate tons! I was tired. But I channelled my inner gym monologue often, "Suck it up Irene! Keep eating!" (Also, the staff sent us home with shopping bags of doggie bags of food. My +1 scored big time as he took my goodies home!) Dueling Lobster Tails. "Where do I start? Traditional roasted with creamy shrimp and garlic sauce? Or stuffed with crab and seafood? Which one will I like better? There's mash potatoes!" After pausing for a nano-sec. "- And string beans. Not going to waste any space on those!" Well, I did try the string beans because I felt guilty. Everything was wonderful. This meal is perfect for someone who isn't quite sure what they want. I had no idea there was still so much food to come. Bar Harbor Lobster Bake. A roasted split Maine lobster tail, tender shrimp, sea scallops, mussels and linguini in a garlic and white wine broth. My Martha Stewart wanna be instantly thought, "Hey. You could totally pick this up and pass it off as a creation of your own. Toss it in a nice bowl and maybe a fella will be sufficiently impressed by your "cooking" Irene." Hey. If I stock the right beer fridge men believe anything. The mussels were my favorite part in this. Of course everything was delicious. I adored the mussels. They were perfectly prepared and not overly done. If I time the pickup perfectly a future date will think I'm an excellent cook. (Shhh!) Lobster Lovers Dream. Butter makes the world go round. Two very different styles of lobster + alfredo pasta. Ultimate Surf & Turf Must do this again. A Maine lobster tail baked with crab and seafood stuffing. Peppercorn seasoned grilled sirloin topped with Maine lobster meat in a citrus hollandaise sauce. Dessert came. I put my head down. Try the key lime pie.

My food was horrible. The only reason we came was for a friend's birthday. Refills were few and far between. Manager did apologize for the extremely salty drawn butter, offered a different lobster tail for the one I didn't like, but it still didn't replace the fact that it was tougher than leather. Also, our appetizer came out the same time our dinner came out! This is a major pet peeve! I will not be returning!

5 stars for SERVICE! Jane was amazing! We went for a late lunch on Valentine's Day and although the restaurant was full, there was no wait. After Jane introduced herself, she started explaining the menu. The menu! At Red Lobster of all places! Since neither of us were wearing glasses and by appearances would "seem" of average intelligence - it immediately "set me off." (In truth I arrived agitated from bad experience at the Chandler location two years ago, only back due to a gift card.) Okay, okay...calming down...her explanation was informative, her demeanor pleasant, and we ended up taking a couple of her suggestions. Lunch was okay: a shared appetizer, strawberry lemonade, pineapple rum drink and two entrees with baked potatoes and salad. None of it was remarkably good or bad, but a "nudge" better than average considering the price point at $45 before tip. For me Jane was the star!

I have never been disappointed at a Red Lobster! The food is great and the service is exceptional. This visit was no different. Peggy was awesome. Space was clean and comfortable. Nice night.

I'm giving five stars for our server, Heather. She's a little brunette who should probably get a raise. My boyfriend and I dined at this location the other night and were thoroughly impressed by Heather's friendliness, knowledge and experienced nature during our meal. The food was pleasant, especially given we sat down an hour and a half before the closing time and everything went very smoothly. We enjoyed the atmosphere and meal tremendously and were lucky to have had Heather as our server that night. My only regret is leaving her tip on my card instead of in cash!

Nice location, wasn't busy when me and my daughters got there.... We love the cheddar biscuits and I love the Bahama mama drink! The hubby isn't a fan so he didn't eat but, he's driving so I get to drink lol. Waitress was pleasant always checking on us, the kids enjoyed looking at the fresh lobster. Didn't wait too long for the food, and when we left we were very satisfied! Will come back to this location! Parking was easy too, and it's right Across the street from the mall for walking off your meal!:-)

Tonight, hubby and I celebrated our cotton year (second) anniversary at Red Lobster. And this was my third time going to any Red Lobster. Anyway, we had been craving seafood and decided to make it happen today. We told the server, Kayla, it was our special day and she seemed genuinely interested. I mean she asked if we were celebrating anything special? So, I'm thinking "free dessert" or something-- oh no, just the words happy anniversary written on our overpriced check! The place was nearly empty when we walked in at 4 PM but our server was apologetic every time she came back to our table because she was always gone too long. Other than that, the food and drinks sure did make our bellies smile. Snow grabs: $18.99 Dual Lobster Tails: $28.99 Sangria "Juice": ? Bahama Mama: ? Lesson on eating out on our big day: Pricey;-)

I'm going with 2 stars because I like the biscuit. And the service was good. But I feel like I just ate a 20 dollar plate of McDonald's. Meaning how many chemicals did I consume over the course of the meal. It could be my nutty mind but that's how I felt. And I don't remember reading or seeing Ads claiming the food is healthy or all natural.

Horrible! We moved here from San Diego and red lobster was one of our weekly restaurants, so you could imagine how disappointed we were to have such a bad experience here at this local red lobster. I guess that's what we get for going to a seafood restaurant in the middle of the desert.our waitress was great.very nice and attentive.the food was terrible. we ordered an appetizer and a salad which came out at the same time.which would not have been so bad except the entrees came out two bites into the salads.so need less to say we had to choose whether we ignore our appetizer or our dinner.our appetizer went cold.i would have spoken up, but the manager walked past our table 7 times ignoring us every pass.but yet he spent the entire dinner 4 tables down talking to some guests that I could only assume we're his friends. all this could be ignored if the food itself wasn't so bad.i will not be returning to this restaurant and I will make sure to advise any of my friends, family or customers to steer clear of this place as well.

decided to go to dinner for my 21st birthday. worst experience ever. we brought in a table of 14. spent over $300 and they wouldn't serve me one drink. obviously if you turn 21 on a saturday you can't go to the freaking dmv. thanks for ruining my birthday red lbster with your stupid policy. every where else has at least a 10 day grace period to update your id. manager didn't offer any compensation for our inconvenience. overall food and server was satisfactory.

Our experience at this location was wonderful and the service was great. The food was prepared well and seasoned nicely. We're definitely coming back for more lobster and snow crab!!!! Overall a great experience.

Horrible services! I will never go to this Red Lobster again. I well drive the extra miles to get better services Very very disappointed :( we always leave a tip for our waitress or waiter no matter if it was bad services but this time there was no chance she was getting even a penny. Just horrible

Of Course, Endless shrimp. Doesn't get any better! Try them all!! Come early, there will be at least a 20 minute wait.

I love Red Lobster's endless shrimp and delicious biscuits however, I'm sitting here writing this review at my table because I've been here for an hour and a half so far and have yet to get my food! Drink refills are impossible to obtain because our server can't figure it out. In fact, he disappears for 20 minutes at a time without resurfacing from behind the kitchen doors. I couldn't even leave if I wanted to because I can't get my check! I'll update my review with food reviews if our food ever arrives...
(1)Bryan S.
The food was excellent. The service was very good as well. The only reason I gave them 3 or of 5 stars is because of the wait for a table. The restaurant was only half full and we waited for over an hour to be seated. There is no excuse for this.

Standard Red Lobster fare. We dined in and had a good experience. The restaurant was a little dead, but the service was great and the staff was very friendly. I'll definitely do lunch here sometime.
(3)Greg H.
Had the shrimp and lobster. It was OK. The salad was fresh. The rolls were hot and tasty. The lobster was kind of dry. The shrimp scampi was kind of mushy. The baked potato was OK. All in all, it was OK, but not great. The service was initially good, but then it took forever to get our second order of drinks.

The recent remodel of this Red Lobster really improved the physical appearance. Less nautical and more upscale and classy. The portions of tonight's dinner were larger than prior visits (enough for two meals). The food was very good. We went with our usual crab alfredo. It is no longer on the printed menu, but is still an online order option and is available in the restaurant if you request it. The servers were prompt and friendly.

We are here at least once a week! Good food, good service, and nice relaxing atmosphere,!

Very disappointing. Had to go to Phx for a training and arrived later than expected last night and HUNGRY. Our hotel was super close to RL and we were excited to get dinner. I'm not sure if the fact that we arrived at 8pm explains how lacking the food was... or if I'm just trying to find an excuse for RL and how bad the food was. L and I have been fans of Red Lobster for years. We don't often get there but when we do, we are all set with our regular order of the popcorn shrimp. Our server was very quick to get the food out, which seems like a good thing but was also ready for us to leave ASAP. I'm a bit confused by this because the restaurant is open until 10 and we left by 9:15. Back to the food. Generally, I love those warm biscuits that are absolutely terrible for you. Last night, I only had one because it was neither warm or tasty. The salad was meh. The popcorn shrimp was on the cold side and the fries were not terrible but were very salty. The salty fries may have been my favorite thing and that is just plain sad. Decided to go all out and have a specialty drink, which was really nothing special. i ordered the Malibu Hurricane and it sure wasn't anything to excitedly Yelp about! Red Lobster does an excellent job of tempting you with yummy looking commercials and endless shrimp for $15.99 but the reality doesn't come close to expectations.

Consistently a good experience. Not a fancy place by any means but a great neighborhood restaurant with friendly staff and good food.

oh, endless shrimp, how i love you!! the in-laws, my husband and i hit up red lobster after checking into the hyatt place in mesa. jenna, our server was very nice. she brought out all of our drinks and provided refills (very important) throughout our meal. i really liked the parmesan shrimp, linguini, scampi and grilled garlic shrimp. mmmmmmm i ate way too much. wish we had a red lobster on kauai!!
(4)Nick F.
great for a quick seafood fix

This place is a disaster! The restaurant was dirty, they ran out of lobster, the manager was a total jerk... I can't think of a single good thing to say about this place.
(1)Shelby F.
Shrimp and Lobster Mac N Cheese is bomb !!
(4)NiNi L.
I'm going to have to say no. The waitress was great, too bad the food wasn't. I ordered the lobster, shrimp and crab legs, potato and rice. I was hungry :-) The restaurant was about 3/4 full and it only took a few minutes to get food. When it did come it was cold, yuck and everything was drenched in butter and salt. My tongue still hurts due to the volume of salt. The lobster tail was as rubbery as a burned steak. I probably shouldn't have eaten it. I remember Red Lobster used to be good for sea food. This is no longer the case.
