Red Lobster

Just had dinner here with my family. The food was good but giving 5 stars because our waiter, Rich B., was great. He was funny, friendly and personable. Made our dining experience more enjoyable.

This place is a great choice for a family dinner on the weekdays/​ends! The staff are trained and provide excellent service and communication, Best thing i crave every time i come is the signature biscuits, they are so so good. Plus seeing as they use live lobster, fresh and all is a bonus on my books! Give this place a crack if your feeling seafood one day.

Fun date night with my fiancé when I got into town; Red Lobster is pretty standard no matter where you go but the service here was great. The waiter was prompt and friendly; the food was good and did not take long once we ordered. I had the clams which were delicious.

I was here with my friend and it was good service. The waitress apologies to us like three times in beginning because it was little busy. After we started getting food and drink, we got more attention. I guess to make up for waiting just a tad longer. The food was good as well. We both shared the lobster dip. It was good but too creamy. We both decided to have endless shrimp. This where they tried to filled you up without having you order more shrimp. They give you side salad and a side dish. However the side dish is on the first order. The rest is just shrimp itself. I like going here. We didn’t have dessert because we wasp full after the fifth order of shrimp.

Shrimp trio is always a hit. They surprisingly make really good lit’s. The service is always good. Bread is always fresh. Parking is always available. For a chain restaurant it’s run very well and food is always tasty.

Great birthday dinner for my daughter-​in-​law. Had one of their lobster dinners cooked to perfection. Brian G was our server. He was so helpful and delivered each course at the right time. Son had the salmon and ate some of my shrimp and lobster. Boo Hoo!

The food and service at this Red Lobster are consistently excellent. We have eaten at this restaurant about 12 times and never had a negative experience. One of the better run restaurants in the area. The bar drinks are well made as well.

This is probably the only 5 star rating I will ever give for a chain… Reason being is that it’s the most consistent red lobster I have ever been to… The food as far as I can remember has never disappointed me. Though there dishes are not comparable to New York’s restaurants or any high end restaurant for that matter, there lobster holds its own against the best. The biscuits are always fresh and the appetizers are all the result of good management. I would recommend this restaurant for anyone who wants a good meal without worry of inconsistency.

The ads about their current lobster fest is totally exagerated. There is very little lobster, in them, and the price Is way over the top. Actually, without the pasta, There wasn’t much lobster.

Great place all around, however, I am compelled to add that RL uses a lot of salt on their dishes, everything from the cheese biscuits, lobster bisque soup to the main courses. This coming from someone who generally will add salt to the food before tasting. So trust me it was excessive, even for me. Would like to see them take it down a notch.

This is a great place for a family dinner! The service was good and the staff seem attentive, the food was good and the biscuits are to die for! Will make this a regular for us.

My husband and I stopped here for early dinner. We eat here from time to time. The food was good. But the waiter… OMG. He said his name is Nick (young guy). We ordered drinks; he brought drinks, threw straws on the table and disappeared. He does not say anything about the special, not asked if we want to place an order. He passing by us several times never stopped. In the end, I had to call him to place an order. Later we brought a food and disappeared again. We observed, He treat much better known guests. I think, He needs more attention from manager. I give two stars base on service.

It’s true, have a little shame about my long-​term relationship with Red Lobster. But, you can usually get reliable quality seafood there, at any location, and at-​least-​decent service, and then there’s the full bar. With all these components, I find myself coming back for many years, to many different RL locations.
I’ve gone to this RL for about a year and a half now, and had some meals with nice-​quality food and good service, and also some not-​so-​good meals with poor, slow service. After a couple of those lower-​end visits (which also usually involve a pretty good wait for a table), we stayed away for some months. Finally returned on Nov 15, and RL has updated their menu, and seems to have tried to polish and upscale their look a little. Seated at a regular, non-​bar table in the bar area, we had a GREAT server, fast and professional (not a high-​schooler; no knock on high schoolers but they often haven’t been trained much or well as servers), and got generally very good food. Two minor negatives, the fried shrimp («Walt’s Favorite») seemed a little too breaded and/​or undercooked and/​or the shrimp were just too small, which we have never run into before, and my lobster tail was slightly undercooked. But it was good to bite into the biscuits again, my crab legs were perfect, and they now offer multiple FRESH veggie choices (not just broccoli). This RL returns to our dining-​out rotation.

Best Red Lobster experience ever.
Was in Asbury park spending a beach weekend with my fam from out of town and decided to come here for dinner and take advantage of their special — 4 course dinner for $ 14.99!
The place is actually a bit further down (if you’re going north) from where the gps/​google maps shows. Once there we were seated right away and our waiter for the night was awesome. Even though we had a large group, he was friendly and patient in getting all our orders right and came to check in on us many times throughout dinner to see if we needed anything else. Great service!
As for food we got a sampler platter and a white wine garlic mussel dish (amazing — get the mussel dish — the sauce was beyond good). And we all got the 4 course dinner special. For the selection and the amount of food — this is probably one of the best deals out there as far as chain restaurants go — you get a choice of soup and salad, a main dish (9 choices) and dessert.
The new england clam chower was really good — manhattan clam chower ok if you wanna keep a watch on calories but i would get the new england clam next time. The salads are your standard garden salad or cesar — they do drench it with dressing so if you prefer a lighter salad — get the dressing on the side. For the main dish our party got the chicken alfredo (huge portion), shrimp and scallops linguine (delicious), grilled tilapia (healthy and tasty), and the spicy habanero shrimp (very spicy!). And as always the cheddar biscuits are amazing.
We were too stuffed for dessert so we had all the desserts packed to go — I’m not a fan of key lime pie so I can’t comment on that but the caramel cheesecake and brownie a la mode were very good.
Awesome experience overall — friendly staff, great food, and prices you can’t beat.

I know its crazy but I have never been to Red Lobster, I went. It was delicious! lol. Jamaar, our server, was so nice! He guided us through the menu and help me decide on what the heck I was going to get! Coconut shrimp as an appetizer was really good as well as the stuffed mushrooms. I had Salmon with garlic butter, friggen delicious and very fresh believe it or not! Took a key lime pie slice to go, delicious. Will be back!

I felt i was at a car dealership when i made my grand entrance!
Food varies from one red lobster to the other. I was really surprised when i ordered shrimp skewers and the shrimp were so small! I was like wtf! But then again living on the gulf coast for so many years i got use to big a** scrimps! Very friendly staff!

This is the most consistent Red Lobster I have ever been to. Staff is always friendly and helpful. Food is always good. People always knock Red Lobster but I’ll tell you this, I’ve been to Italian restaurants that had worse food than this! Prices here have gone up, but hey, where haven’t they. They still offer specials and if you go when the Shrimp Fest is on, you can score all you can eat shrimp!!! I usually avoid all Red Lobsters at peak times. This one is pretty well run and organized, but I’m sure you will be waiting if you dare the peak hours.

OMG, the Festival of Shrimp with unlimited biscuits, instant food coma.
Plus a large Daiquiri, instant drunken, food coma.
Oh I forgot, excellent, excellent, customer service. Respect!

A simple how to guide for lunch at Red Lobster:
1. Order the Coastal Soup and Grilled Shrimp (grilled shrimp salad and new england clam chowder bread bowl)
2. Eat as many cheese buiscuits as you can stuff your face with before your stomach explodes or the waitress refuses to bring you anymore (whichever comes first).

This is going to be mostly a biased rating so please take it with a grain of salt. Why five stars? mostly the experience I had here, why don’t you read on?
So I came here with my coworkers Dan C. and Devorah F. today as a farewell get together before I move to northern jersey.
It made my day when my coworkers got me a bday singing thing, since they prolly wouldn’t do the singing thing for leaving for another job, lol.
The service was impeccable, the waitresses were very eager to fill drinks as well as bring out more of the biscuits. For anyone whose been to red lobster they will tell you they have the greatest biscuits in the world.
I got the create your own feast thing, with the scallops and shrimp. which was ok. 1 coworker got some chicken thing, fail. However the other got the soup and salad which considering the portions and price was incredibly worth it.
So for the experience, food and service (and the memories) 5 stars!
Bam.
FYI: This RL is much less ghetto than the one near my house in NY.
