This was my worst experience ever at a Red Lobster and I have eaten at them in different cities and Meridian is just terrible. Me and my girlfriend hadn't been out for a date in a while so we decided to go to Red Lobster for the endless shrimp tonight. Our wait time was 30 minutes which was understandable on a Saturday night. We were seated and I noticed my seat was dirty with some kind of liquid spilled on it, but on one side so I sat on the other end. We both ordered endless shrimp and was disappointed to find out that it changed from last year so now instead of 3 choices you only get 2, also at the fact that they had run out of teriyaki shrimp, how is that possible if its endless? We ordered anyway and had finished all of our food and waited almost 10 minutes before the waitress came back for our refill of shrimp. We then only had one choice at a time. So we chose what we wanted and waited 10 more minutes and received our food. As soon as we received our food we asked to get our other selection and waited over 30 minutes to get it and by that time we were sleepy and couldn't eat it and also was not allowed to take it home. We were allowed to take only biscuits home and the waitress didn't even give us a bag for it. The endless shrimp experience at this location did not seem endless at all. We will possibly never go to this place again.

Red Lobster is Red Lobster! It's hit and miss every time regardless of location. This was my first time at this specific location, and like I said, "It's hit and miss." The food was good, the cheddar biscuit were on point and they kept coming! To me Cheddar biscuits are the best part. The food: I had the salmon with lobster chunks. Overall, my plate was awesome. It had great taste and I was happy. The presentation, I honestly give no plus or minus ratings on presentation. My food was cooked to taste and it was good. We had the mussel appetizer and it could've been better. The size of the actual mussel was pretty sad, but the flavor of the wine sauce made up for it. The touch of bruschetta bread that accompanied the wine sauce a delight. My buddy had the Talapia Grilled tacos and to my surprise they looked good. Okay, so here is where I get a little touchy... To me, a big thing is the drinks. So for beginners, the water offered upfront is cool but, the water used for the ice is crucial to my evaluations. At this particular Red Lobster the ice is pretty awful. The iced tea I received tasted like ordinary iced tea; it's was good. But as it sat and it watered down the dirty water iced taste started coming through and over powering the integrity of the iced tea. I couldn't even drink it any longer. I noticed my company noticed it as well, except they don't use yelp and therefore will not make a review like I do. Customer service: our server was awesome. No complaints there. 3 stars only because drinks are a major part of the meal and the ice is gross.

Very good service and pretty good food. Lobster bisque is tasty, stuffed mushroom is not bad. Good relaxing time eating here in the rain.

Let me start by saying the service was absolutely great. The people here are awesome. We were greeted and seated very quickly. I had a server who was really nice and served us our drinks quickly. There was a large party already there which made our wait for food a little longer than usual. The downside.... the smell when we walked in was horrible. It smelled like a mix of sour and old rotting seafood. We ordered the fried calamari. Definitely not good. Just tasted like fried breading and broccoli. It did come with fried peppers and broccoli but the broccoli made everything taste like broccoli. The salmon was mushy and salty. It was obviously frozen and not fresh. The food had me feeling sick the rest of the night. If management just gets this place cleaned and fixes up the food a bit it would be great.

I ordered the crab legs and the coconut shrimp. The crab legs were an absolute joke. I love red lobster but was extremely disappointed with this one. I wouldn't recommend eating at this establishment!

Quantity NOT quality. Special seafood feast was not. Last time for me. More appropriate would be Dead Lobster.
