Red Lobster

Haven't been here in years- had a craving for seafood and was in the area and decided to stop in. Was weird to see how empty it was compared to the old days. Used to be just packed all the time. Hoping this was just a slow night. The cheddar biscuits were light and flaky like we remembered. The Ceasar salad was also like we remembered- crisp with the right amount of dressing and parmeson. We ordered the Crab Rangoon as an appetizer. So good. The sauce has some heat surprisingly. I loved it. My wife ordered the cocktail shrimp appetizer and a side of broccoli. I ended up finishing her shrimp and they were fantastic! The Pina Colada dipping sauce is the perfect compliment. I ordered the New Orleans salmon. Basically a blackened Salmon with a creole cream sauce with shrimp on top. Absolutely outstanding. Phenomenal flavor- not to much heat. Just a great balance. I got a half order and got a side of shrimp scampi too. The price for that was about the same as a whole order. The scampi was great too. Overall we left full and satisfied. The receipt doesn't have out servers name, so I can't give her credit. She and the staff were efficient, friendly, and helpful. Great job!

All I can say: SCAMMERS. We drove all the way from Milwaukie to Tigard to place a to -go order. We asked for a party platter of coconut shrimp, among other items, and when we arrived home we realized we only had 11 shrimps as it would be normally served on a regular plate. We also asked for tartar and coleslaw, but those did not make it in our bags either. I asked Michael specifically to pay attention to the sauces added and the size of each plate. We got home with no tartar sauce, but tons of pina colada sauce for 11 shrimps. The waiter also came to us saying that there are no sides for the platter size...we agreed as we needed that specific amount for our family gathering. So what's your win in this? you charged us $31.49 for a plate that is actually $17.99...shame on you!!! Also, what's with the door announcement "be patient with our personnel" You have youngsters sitting around and giggling while this one was taken to go orders and can't make sure the order is correct. You don't need additional personnel...you need people with integrity working there! triple check your orders before leaving, people!

Ahhhh, red lobster being consistent for the 20+ years I have been going there. I loved my ultimate feast, my kid loved his fish, wife loved her lobster, and most importantly my mom was super happier with her meal as well. Liz was a proper professional server, and gave fantastic service. I’m so glad this was our last restaurant we visited for my moms visit. Thank you red lobster and thank you Liz!

Be prepared to wait anywhere from 15mins to 45mins for a table because this place is always busy. I've been coming here for special occasions for over 20 years. The parking lot is small but you can always find a spot eventually. The grounds and outside of restaurant is maintained nicely so is the inside of the restaurant. The lobby is a bit small and cramped. The food in my opinion is just ok, and not worth some of their prices. The staff is attentive but you can tell they dont have much experience in restaurant business. They do what they can though to make your experience here a good one. I will return in the future.
