Red Lobster

Queensway Red Lobster is always packed. front desk staff & the servers are extremely friendly & attentive. This is our family’s fav Red Lobster
Menu: I love love their Caesar salad with freshly baked garlic cheese biscuits to start with. For main course I love their blacken Tilapia in Cajun or if I’m in the mood for red meat, their fire-​grilled peppercorn sirloin steak medium rare, It is melt in your mouth tender. Other family members would order the ultimate feast and seafood linguini. They never disappoint. Portion is excellent. I find they are getting better at using less salt in the dishes.
Atmosphere: it is an extremely busy location. It is always packed. Ed always have to wait to be seated but we don’t mind. Busy is a good testament to the restaurant
Price point: its not the cheapest or the most expensive, good value for your dollar
Would go there again

Very good size and service. Very tasty food. Some dish is a little bit salty to me, but I think eat very light as home.
Overall, very good experience. Will come back again!

This place is amazing, the food is veryyy good, but the best in this place is the server Nadine (is not the girl, it’s the Lady), she is the best, she is so friendly, with us, and special with our son, she is focus in the service, and in all details, she is the difference in this restaurant

We took my best friend to eat for her bday, nothing big… just us girls…
I ordered the Malibu hurricane drink, which was good! We had our ‘build your own’ appetizers got the escargot and calamari and they were okay as well.
The food we got were a good portion of everything but some of our dishes were a bit too salty but was still filling. I would rate our food about 3.5 stars.
Our server was attentive, just seemed a little impatient or he wasn’t having a good day. He was still courteous… just didn’t express very well.
Possibly because it’s a food chain, hard to give ratings on the food as it is pretty generic. I would give an overall 3.5 stars which we can’t give, but we were full when we left so it did what we went there for.
Full bellies and great company was a success!

The food here is better than some other RL’s I have been to. Aside from it being cooked well and not burned or dried up. The portions seem to be bigger too!
We ordered:
Appitizers: Escargots and Stuffed Mushroom. Both were good and the cheese was not burned. The stuffing on the mushrooms were filled and not dried.
Entrees (shared): Shrimp Side Trio; Shrimp Luiguini, Garlic Shrimps and Butterfly Battered Shimps. All delish! Comes withh a salad so we got Ceasar. Right portion of dressing, croutons and shaved cheese. No bacon which is perfect for me and Clam chowder which was not as hot… but was ok.
Our waitress was attentive making sure our food arrived quickly and our drinks is always filled.
The only thing they can improve on is the tea pot they serve their tea in… way too small and does not even full the mug it comes in.

I have a fondness for Red Lobster that will never leave me. My mom used to take me there for special Friday lunches where I ate popcorn shrimp and coloured in kid menus. Thus, I still like going to Red Lobster!
We’ve been to this location multiple times — always good service. The biscuits are really good but as any good Red Lobster fan knows, if you ask for seconds you’ll never finish your main meal. My boyfriend gets different «feasts» so I can’t speak them. I ALWAYS get shrimp. In fact, my favourite time of year is Endless Shrimp. It is a good time to go as there is a lot of turn over with the shrimp, so it is generally fresh and tasty. I always order the shrimp alfredo and take it home for lunch the next day. Walt’s shrimp are delish and my favourite are the coconut shrimp with piña colada dipping sauce.
Overall, I understand that Red Lobster is not a seafood fine dining experience BUT I can say I enjoy it for what it is and will be back for more shrimp!

Got food poisoning from eating baked stuffed sole from this location in 2005. Threw up for a week and lost 5 pounds. Haven’t been back to a Red Lobster since.

My family and I went here for my birthday. Absolutely delicious!!! My mother and I shared the bar harbour seafood bake. Huge portions! Service was absolutely amazing. Always a great dining experience.

Went to red lobster for their endless shrimp sale. Had some of every available option. Started with a ceased salad which was really good with fresh parmesan. My favorite to my surprise was the shrimp linguini. Creamy and delicious pasta and shrimp with fresh parmesan shredded on top. My least favorite was the garlic shrimp. Couldn’t taste the garlic and it was (along with most of the shrimp) really salty. Don’t know if its done on purpose so the consumer drinks more water and gets filled faster. The cheddar buns served at every red lobster meal were good but not as I remember from long ago. Really dry in the middle but delicious none the less. My girlfriend thinks I tipped a bit generously considering it was only a 45 $ bill but the waiter was a pretty cool guy. The saltiness was probably my biggest turnoff but considering how cheap it was compared to the rest of the menu it was a win in my books. Will probably come back during their next endless shrimp sale.

Overall very good meal. A little heavy on the Caesar dressing so if your not into it being overdressed let them know. Had the ultimate feast which was really good except the broccoli is just steamed and kinda tasteless. Wife had portobello mushroom chicken which was also very good. She has same complaint about the broccoli. Drinks were mojito which was excellent and a pint of Richards red. Overall very good meal.

The real reason why I came here was to compare their cheddar bay biscuits to my own. They were just plain ol’ biscuits to me. I ordered grilled shrimps and lobster tails and it was just too bland. Lack of seasoning and flavour. I’m used to eating lobster Chinese-​style so dipping my lobster in butter was not gonna cut it for my taste buds. The only reason I’m giving 3 stars instead of 2 is because of the service.

I have to admit, I have a problem with their scones. I eat wayyyyy too many.
We had a group of 7 and we were able to get seated pretty quickly on a Saturday night. Service was pretty quick through the night and tons of scones! Even got a bag of scones to go!
I had the Ultimate Surf and Turf, which had this tasty maple butter on the beans and potatoes. The lobster was cooked well, but the steak was pretty awful. But that’s what you get for steak at a fish place. Tasted like there was no seasoning at all.
Dessert portions were big and i was given an ice cream as it was my birthday! (just celebrated a bit late haha)
Again, i’m not really a fan of Red Lobster. I just really love their scones.

Red Lobster is not all that. The Shrimp was shrimpy and under par.
The food was was too greasy and garlicky for me and I love butter and garlic. The Shrimp Linguini Alfredo was delicious on its own and very heavy. The Garlic Shrimp
was not at all succulent and the Hand-​Breaded Shrimp was awful.
I doubt these people would know a good shrimp if one hit them in the face. They were so tiny like those cheap shrimp rings you get at No Frills.
The waitress was pleasant enough and the staff was polite. It was clean and well kept. We had to wait almost an hour from the time we were done eating to the time we actually walked out to pay our bill. When we finally got the debit machine we ended up settling up our bill and leaving it sitting on the table and walking out.
I doubt we even had to pay and probably could have walked out with the machine.
It was a spontaneous decision and I would have rathered Jack Astors but on a plus side it was quiet and we didnt have to yell over music to have a conversation.

Remarkably pleasant, and consistent, for a chain restaurant. This location is working very hard on quality and service.
Note: the poor reviews for this location are old.
I had blackened salmon tonight. Frankly, it was excellent.

This review may be biased due to the fact that I’ve wanted seafood forEVER but no one would take me. So obviously it was amazing. It’s like peeing after you hold it in; unreal. Anyway, last night my friend and I went to Red Lobster to satisfy this hankering. So LET me tell you about it, ahem:
It was pouring rain; not impressed. But that’s not Red Lobster’s fault. Anyway it was quite busy for a Monday night so we got our little buzzy apparatus and sat at the bar. We were promptly greeted by a nice young lady and ordered two classic margaritas. During this time I like to check out the food situation going on over at different tables. One couple was sharing seafood nachos; looked amazing. Another guy had a burger. (like, what?).
About 6.5 sips into my fancy beverage our buzzy thing, well, buzzed and we were sat. FINALLY! We were handed the standard menu as well as the seasonal one. My eyes immediately connected with the seafood stuffed mushroom caps, those babies sold themselves. We ordered those with Terry, right away. The current promotion that was offered was two entrees (mix and match) for 14.99 or three for 19.99. Pretty decent deal if you ask me. My friend was feeling the linguini so she chose the scallop and shrimp linguini and paired it with cheesy ranch battered shrimp. I knew what I wanted a month prior to this moment; butter sauce, with a side of lobster. I got the fisherman’s dish which included a lobster tail, shrimp skewer, garlic shrimp, rice and green beans. Personally I would’ve substituted extra rice for one of the shrimp choices but whatever, still delicious. Both of our meals came with a side salad, and of course those heavenly rolls. Oh, the rolls. I could sing songs about the rolls. Nicholas Sparks can’t write the kind of love that the rolls and I share.
Our mushroom caps came and they were delectable. Soft mushrooms stuffed with lobster, crab, shrimp and topped with cheese. My stomach was going to have a talk with me later on but that was future Barbara’s problem. After we literally inhaled the mushrooms, and dipped another roll in the remainder of the cheese and butter from the appetizer, it wasn’t long before the main event, the George St. Pierre of the evening showed up. Everything tasted… amazing. I took some shrimp off the skewer and mixed it with the rice and beans, (yes, I’m a mixer). One thing that I found tedious was the tail on the shrimp. I really wish the chefs could somehow take them off for me. When I’m having a nice dinner I don’t want to work too hard, and this was prolonging the shrimp from entering my mouth. Miniscule roadblock in an otherwise scrumptious dining experience.
I didn’t want to brag but my meal choice round-​house kicked my friend’s dish in the face. Her linguini was good but nothing life changing. and I’m not a fan of deep fried, battered, seafood. The cheesy ranch shrimp were too battered for my liking, but the sauce was pretty good.
I was finished with my lobster and shrimp but still had a little bit of butter sauce left over so I utilized it to the best of my capabilities, dipping beans, rolls, fingers, mints, spoons in it. We obviously passed on dessert to avoid a cardiac arrest.
All in all it was a very satisfying experience and a great time to go due to the promotion. My name is Barbara, and I seafood differently.

I went to this restaurant because my family enjoys sea food. We went two months ago and the food was ok, so we decided to give it a second chance. But this time the food was terrible. I ordered a calamari and it was over cooked. My partner tried the soup and it was super salty. Nothing was edible. What a disappointment! i will try to avoid this place in the future!

One of my coworkers tried to convince me that this Red Lobster is in a different league than all the other Red Lobsters, and that this one is «actually nice!».
So when my husband suggested that late last night (9:30 pm on the Thursday of Easter Weekend) I was willing to go… but begrudgingly, because I really wanted to go somewhere fun downtown. Anyway, Red Lobster it was, and Red Lobster it will never ever be again.
First, they told us it would be a 10 minute wait, which was fine… until we realized that the place was full of empty tables?! My only guess is that maybe they were short staffed, and trying to stagger the crowd a bit. But it seemed very odd.
We both ordered fish & chips, figuring you can’t really go wrong. It comes with a salad — we both opted for Caesar. I couldn’t get over how obscurely perfect the shredded cheese on top was; it obviously comes out of a package and probably never expires. The whole salad was also so heavily dressed that I didn’t finish it — which is saying a lot coming from a girl who likes a LOT of dressing on a salad.
When the fish & chips arrived, I kept getting whiffs of soap, and I still haven’t figured that out. But I definitely wasn’t smelling fish, and when I did smell fish, it just didn’t seem appetizing. There were two pieces of very soggy, limp fish, sitting on top of a medium-​sized arrangement of fries that didn’t seem memorable at all. There was also a side of coleslaw that looked so wet and tired that I didn’t even touch it. In fact, I didn’t touch much of anything, and couldn’t wait to just get home. I
There wasn’t so much something wrong with the experience, but there was just nothing right about it either.

Wow. Where do I begin?
1^st time ever at Red Lobster: walking in, live lobsters, fresh. very nice.
We were seated and the waiter was very courteous and introduced me to a new favourite mixed drink: Malibu Hurricane (the only thing is is that I did ask before hand if they had jagermeister and goldschlager and he said they didn’t have any jäger. and when I was walking out I saw that they had them both sitting right beside eachother at the bar…) Other than that we felt comfortable and he offered my mom a nice wine that I did enjoy.
The food was delicious. I love how they have the seafood fest menu that changes every so often and the food really looks like as per picture. which is nice; you don’t get that alot with other restaurants. No complaints there! DELISH. (lobster and shrimp. amazing!)
Now, when we got to our car, I don’t have any idea how it began but basically a BIC lighter exploded in between the drivers seat and the gear shifting unit and a fire had sparked; one of the female managers (not sure who) was very helpful in helping me get water as I was running back and forth to get it so that our car didn’t explode or fully catch fire. (VERY SCARY EXPERIENCE!!!) Another manager came on the scene to see if we were ok, i’m so glad that we got the help we needed and the fire was extinguished.
So in summary (because I don’t usually write this lo0o0ng…) but the food was amazing, and the people were truly helpful in a great time of need.

Thought it would be funny to go to Red Lobster. It wasn’t…for a long time.
Like most tragedies, it has become LOLable after enough time so I look fondly back upon this experience and the tasty cheddar scones they bring you to start. After that, you’re in for one of the worst seafood meals of your life (honestly, just defrost a box of Highliner and some McCain french fries… it will be more worth your while).

Seriously one of the worst meals I’ve had in a long time. Everything was so ridiculously salty, I swear my blood pressure rocketed after I was done my food.
We came here as a last resort because we were starving, had movie tickets (so we couldn’t venture too far away) and there just wasn’t much else in the area that sounded like a better option. Plus I was really in the mood for some seafood. I ordered a plate that came with bourbon scallops and bbq shrimp. My S. O got the «feast» that comes with lobster, butterfly shrimp, snowcrab and garlic shrimp.
My scallops were disgusting. I felt like I was drinking shots of bourbon with every scallop I ate. My shrimp were coated in a really sticky and lumpy bbq sauce that made them taste absolutely horrid. My bf’s dinner was better… the lobster was good, tiny, but good. The shrimp were also good — nothing extraordinary or special about them.
Our server was attentive and friendly, but no ammount of good service could have salvaged my horrible meal. Next time I want to spen $ 85.00 on dinner (with drinks, tax and tip) I’ll go somewhere that won’t leave me parched from all the sodium.
