Red Lobster

We thought we’d enjoy Lobster Fest after being bombarded by commercials on TV. This has usually been a very nice Red Lobster, but there’s been some sort of corporate restructuring and the restaurant has suffered from it. We both ordered the Maine Lobster Bake. This dish also included some small potatoes and corn on the cob. We asked if we could switch out the corn for another vegetable and were able to get green beans and rice pilaf. With our dinners came salads. The salads contain little more than lettuce, croutons, and a few cherry tomatoes. The lettuce was fresh but the salad was otherwise boring. Also, our waiter practically flung them at us. When our entrees arrived, the lobster tails were small but appeared to be perfectly cooked. The problem we ran into was the buttery garlic sauce that had been poured over everything. It was too salty. We really should have returned the meals to the kitchen but I’m always afraid to do that because I’ve known people who’ve worked in food service and I know what can happen to your returned meal. We brought most of it home in an attempt to possibly remove the saltiness from the lobster meat. Yup! We’re a couple of dopes for paying that kind of money for inedible food, but we learned something: we will not be going back to Red Lobster. And perhaps I can spare someone from making the same mistake.

service and food par for a chain… nothing wrong, nothing spectacular.. service was ok food was hot, no wait for a table, food was prompt

It is rare for me to put a good rating on a commercial restaurant. We were seated quickly… Paige, our waitress was amazing. She wasn’t constantly over our shoulders! The meal was very good. I had lobster linguine and it was fantastic. There were tons of lobster meat! They didn’t drown it in sauce! Definitely enough for a second meal. All in all it was a good meal with fantastic service.

I’m not a seafood guy so these folks re very low on my list but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do! I have relatives that like it so there was no socially acceptable way to refuse.
My party of three showed up at 6:00 pm on a Tuesday and it was packed with a 15 minute wait. The young ladies at the hostess stand were delightful. Once we were seated our waitress was exceptional. Overall CUSTOMER SERVICE was very very good.
The ATMOSPHERE was completely expected standard chain décor. Everything was spotless so no complaints.
So how about the FOOD? The legendary biscuits were, well, legendary. Warm and tasty nuggets of happiness.
My meal came with a house salad and it was 2-​star forgettable. It was fresh but it had very few ingredients and was quite frankly boring.
My entrée was Spicy Cajun Chicken Alfredo. It was hot and filling but the operative word was boring as well. The plating was boring, the color was boring, and the sauce was boring and not at all spicy. The amount of chicken just barely approached adequate. By the end of the meal I was stuffed but bored.
My adult libation was bottles of Shock Top and they were icy cold and just fine.
This is the perfect example of how two star food can turn into a three star experience with the addition of excellent customer service!

This location has been here for a long time. Last year the corporation the owned it sold the Red Lobster locations off. With the sell off, they were going to take the restaurants in a new direction, so they said. They wanted to get away from the seafood deals to a more sophisticated seafood dining experience. Nothing has changed, food still over salted and loaded with butter. Manager is the same and he is quite useless in leading his staff. No changes at all. Choose this place when you are desperate for seafood and do not feel like driving to a good seafood place.

They don’t take reservations, but they do take call aheads, and it was the Friday before Valentine’s Day so we did the call ahead about 2:30 pm. We got there at 8 pm and were seated almost immediately. The girls at the front were very nice.
Our waitress was named Elizabeth, and was very attentive, friendly, nice, and knew the menu — you just couldn’t ask for a better waitress.
The food was delicious, it was lobster-​fest, and I had the lobster bisque, and lobster lover’s dream. My husband had the ultimate feast with a split lobster tail, crab legs and several different shrimp, with a salad that looked great. Of course the garlic/​cheese biscuits were great, they always are. Neither one of us could finish our food, we took a lot of food home. We also ordered the chocolate chip lava cookie dessert, but only ate the ice cream there and took the cookie home.
The only thing that was slightly overcooked was the rock lobster tail. The split Maine lobster tail was cooked perfectly. I had half of the lobster and shrimp linguini and the asparagus today for lunch and it was delicious.
We had some special drinks, called lobster mango something-​or-​another, and they were good, and you get to keep the glass. We each had one and split the third, as it was a lot stronger than the first two.
Dinner came out a little slow, but I think that had a lot to do with the fact that it was the Friday before Valentine’s and also because there was a large party group of 20 people right beside us. We didn’t mind, it was plenty fast for us.

I had not been to Red Lobster in years and definitely not to the one in Sebring. It was a pleasant surprise. The girls in the front were very friendly and sat me immediately. The wait staff came right along and took my drink order. I ordered the multiple course shrimp meal which was great. I believe it was like $ 15 and it came with bread, salad, soup, entrée and dessert… can’t beat that. To be honest, I had to take my dessert to go. Each course came so timely. The waiter was so attentive that he knew when I was ready for the next.
My only complaints would be it was a little too dark and the restroom was dirty.

Had take out. She did not know what was on the menu and she was trying to guess by the looking at the pictures. I decided to keep it simple and get lobster and naked potato…, I received zero condiments. No butter. No sour cream. Guess how good my food was.?? Go head… Guess. Really disappointed. Keep ur expectations low here.

We went to this location tonight for my grandma’s birthday. Not only was the wait staff slow, the drink orders were completely messed up, they did not take them off our bills, & they charged my grandma gratuity TWICE! I will not be going back to this location for an extremely long time!

I come here often, because Red Lobster has always been one of my favorite chain restaurants. I have always had good service in most Red Lobsters but the one in Sebring usually tends to be more attentive and friendlier than most, in my opinion. Even with some staff (not all) coming and going, service remains great and food as well.

My favorite place to eat! Best service you can ask for!

Never been to this Red Lobster in Sebring. Restaurant is similar to all Red Lobsters. Service is friendly. Went for the all you can eat shrimp :) Can’t go wrong eating shrimp! I enjoyed the spicy shrimp! Got stuffed! But overall happy :)

As usual, all was good. Bourbon scallops and shrimp this time. Our local favorite for seafood. Also, their Chicken Tenders are quite tender.
