Red Lobster

The dinner was amazing! I really enjoyed the Fish and Chips, thought I'm not a seafood type of person, it was extraordinary! The drinks were very delicious, especially the biscuits. I enjoyed my experience at Red Lobster, so far this place was outstanding. This goes perfect on a Friday or Saturday. Despite their lines, it was still a good place to eat!

Updated review 9/15/2021: The Wednesday special is lobster and steak $21. The wait was about 30mins at 7:30pm. The clam chowder tasted alright. It had little pieces of minced clams and potatoes. It didn't have celery though. The saltine crackers were a bit stale. I would have preferred the little oyster crackers instead. There was a mishap with my main course though. The chef forgot to put bacon, cheddar, green onions on my baked potato. Then the weirdest thing happened. When I told the waitress, she picked up the regular potato (drenched with butter and sour cream) with her bare hands off my plate and put it in the bread basket bringing it back to the kitchen. A few minutes later, she brought back a loaded potato. I really hope it wasn't the same one she grabbed with her bare hands. Original review: Indoor dining tonight 3/10/2021. There was an half hour wait at 5:30pm. The dining room was a chilly 48° because they left both front doors open. They do not have an outdoor dining area as far as I could tell. Maybe they should put some heat lamps indoors because it was so cold inside. I had to go back to my car to get a jacket. The service however was excellent and the food from the kitchen came out a little slow. It took over 30 mins from when I ordered to when I received my food. The food was as expected for the pasta, scallops, steak and lobster. I really weren't expecting much since this is a chain restaurant. It was kind of weird to get all those little plastic containers for the cheese, onions, bacon bits for the baked potato. My coleslaw was served in a paper container. That can't be good for the environment when they are doing that for indoor dining. The only disappointing part of my meal was the snow crab. It tasted like it came straight from the freezer. I guess no taste is better than a sour or fishy taste for crab. My total was $57 with tax and tip.

Basing it off food, Red Lobster never misses. Portions, prices, and taste are always top tier. It had been so long since I've been to Red Lobster and this reminded me why I missed it. Unfortunately, we were waiting a while before we even got someone's attention, but I think that was due to the walls than the staff. Everyone was super nice and our waiter was very helpful and respectful. He did such a good job remembering things we asked for and went out of his way to make sure we were happy.
