Red Lobster

We were in the area so we decided to have dinner here. Our server Cesar was great! The food was alright. I got the Pick Your Own Trio and my dad got the Steak and Lobster Tail and a cup of clam chowder. I thought my food was ok, I hadn’t eaten all day so I was just really hungry and even then the food was just alright. My dad didn’t like his steak too much so he only ate half.
We were one of the last people in the section and when the other people around us left, one of the servers started cleaning right away. There is nothing wrong with cleaning the tables but he started spraying cleaning solution on the tables and the smell was strong. Maybe that’s why we didn’t care too much for the food because all I could smell was cleaning solution when we were trying to eat. He also started moving tables around to clean the floors, and that made me feel rushed.
When we left, no one said goodbye or have a nice evening.

I love this red lobster. ¹⁰⁄₁₀. I have been here an alarming amount since I was a senior in high school and every time is better than the last. The staff is always so friendly and quick. I wasn’t even mad when my server asked if I was there to celebrate my divorce Cus the food was so fresh!!!

I can only assume the five star reviews about this place are somehow biased, its definitely not the food. If you have never had fresh seafood then you might not mind paying $ 30 or more for a plate of freeze dried meatless crab shells, or some soggy/​rubbery over seasoned rock fish fillets.
Whatever the case I have eaten at other Red Lobsters™ where the food was at least tasty and well prepared but this one doesn’t cut the muster. After my 4^th meal here in 3 years, I will not be coming back.

O.K., no, I don’t like chain restaurants as a rule because they constantly switch managers, use nearly all canned and frozen food, and every new manager tries to cut food costs and then you wind up with something like Olive Garden. There is no organic or non GMO food in chain restaurants. However, this is a place my mother in law likes to go and I’ll concede to her on a few points.
The service here at the Grand Junction Red Lobster has always been good. The restaurant (for the most part) has always appeared to be kept clean (not sparkling but clean). I stick with the chowder, salad, and/​or Salmon (only Alaskan/​wild caught none from British Columbia due to the reported disease outbreak in Salmon there). The biscuits, I have to admit, are good. My husband and kids order Red Lobster’s lobster and crab but have never been terribly impressed with the flavor, texture or freshness. Red Lobster will never compare to an ocean front or upscale restaurant that deals in local fresh caught fish. But we don’t have an ocean in Colorado and as chains go I have to give this particular restaurant good marks for what it does do well as I mentioned above. You can go out, have good service and a fairly good meal. Desserts of course are frozen fare. Also, you will pay more to eat here.

We were in town visiting family and had a get-​together at Red Lobster. Our server was great and the food was the standard Red Lobster fare.
Our server recommended the Salmon New Orleans and it was a very solid choice.
We stayed for a long time and n one tried to rush us out which was nice.
Next to the mall if you are in that area.

First impressions, the hostess was ready to sit us down promptly and with a friendly attitude. The waiter tended us promptly and was friendly and helpful. We ordered coconut jumbo shrimp and the new Caribbean salmon shrimp. We had our salads out quick and the main order followed after. It was really good. We ordered two top shelf Long Island ice tea. Very good! The staff seems to get along with each other and with customers. Atmosphere seems good. I liked coming here and would come back.

Went to Red Lobster for lunch today. Lunch menu stated under specials that if ordered between 11am and 3 pm, you get $ 2.00 off. The price listed was $ 21.39 (ish). DONT FALL FOR IT!!! My 89 year old grandmother ordered the swordfish (she loves swordfish and was excited about the discount) what a surprise when we got the bill. Apparently the discount was included in the advertised price… (Keep in mind that it didn’t say that anywhere) waitress was very nice but the manager seemed more concerned to prove that she was right (she evidently does not understand that the burden of clear advertising is on her as the manager) decided that this we not a battle I wanted to fight. But didn’t want others to be bamboozled. Food was decent though.

Amazing experience at this location. Our server was so nice and helpful and friendly! The service was great!
We both ordered the $ 15.99 feast. The food was delishious. Our server Jessie suggested the shrimp nacho appetizer as it wowed the socks off us! So tasty!

Red Lobster is a Nationwide Chain of overpriced frozen food at best. If you can’t get to a Seafood Restaurant near the Ocean, this will not satisfy your craving. Sure you get consistancy at every location you go to, but it is very poor qaulity. Don’t waste your time.

Ordered the popcorn shrimp, it is not de-​veined. Manager came by and gave some excuse it cannot be de-​veined, which is BS and then stated they don’t de-​vein the majority of their shrimp. I have seen plenty of popcorn shrimp that has been de-​veined. Gross. Also the waiter wasn’t knowledgeable of the menu. When asked what else was in the Pineapple Salsa, «Umm, Pineapples… I think tomatoes…» Then said I get my choice of two sides plus a salad, what sides do you have? His response, it’s on the menu… Lastly, no refills, at all, not once did he ask, when clearly the glasses had been empty. The shrimp thing set the mood.

One of the best quality service and food out of the all the Red Lobsters that I visited in the country. I usually do not eat at Red Lobster due to poor quality, but I was visting my nephew in Grand Junction. Not many choices for seafood in smll town so we tried and we were very happy with overall service. All other Red Lobstes should follow this stores rules and policies.

Endless shrimp was great!!! Service was more amazing than usual; I had a very enjoyable meal and dining experience.

There was a little piece of wire sticking out of the sit, and my wife hurt her leg while sitting there. The waiter was nice enough to provide us with some bandage and told us to be more careful. We haven’t received any apologies, and they did’t even fix it right away. The food was OK for the price, but after what happened I’m never coming back.
