What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Diners consistently praise Red Lobster for its delicious seafood, especially the iconic Cheddar Bay Biscuits and endless shrimp options. The service is frequently highlighted as friendly and attentive, with staff like Cheryl and Kim making occasions special. While most experiences are positive, some guests have encountered long wait times for food, even with reservations, leading to frustration.
"Great food great drinks and the best service. Cheryl was a great host, never left us hanging, every need met. We were celebrating 17 years of marriage and she made the occasion warm and memorable. We'll be back for sure!"
Erica Johnson
"I had a wonderful dinner date with my husband. We tried their New Amazing Crabby Stuffed Mushroom and 2 Can dine Thursday Special. One appetizer and one dessert were included. The lobster tails were scrumptious, the fried shrimps were crispy, and the scallops were grilled perfectly. We had Cheryl our server. She was very attentive and helpful."

"this place is such a fun time! i came with my friends and the service was a 10/10 (thanks Kim!) and we got our food relatively quickly. we all got the pasta (i got the shrimp linguini alfredo) and split a seafood boil, i’ve never had actual seafood and it was honestly a great first experience. their mocktails were sooooo yummy as well. they also gave us a complimentary sundae for my birthday 🥹🥹 so sweet of them!"
