We had dinner here a few weeks ago because I craved for it so badly. Prior to that, it had been a few years since I last visited. They renovated - an addition to the front of the building. It was nice.
We arrived during their peak hours so a wait was expected. It wasn't too long though, about 15-20 minutes, and the weather was nice at the time so we just hung out on the bench outside.
Our waitress was very friendly, attentive and never left us alone for too long to ensure our drinks were filled and to take any other orders we may have had. The food was sooo yummy! Totally hit the spot and satisfied my craving.
I had the Lobster Lover's Dream and my boyfriend chose the Fire-Grilled Sirloin Surf & Turf for our main meals. For sides, we had the Lobster & Shrimp Mac 'N' Cheese, Escargot and Seafood-Stuffed Mushrooms. My only wish was to have had more room in my tummy because I wanted to eat more than I was able to but I had to be smart about my "plan of attack" to make sure I could have a bit of everything. IT WAS ALL ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! Mm! I loved every bite and I hope to be just as pleased with the experience when we visit again in the future. -

Every time I come home for a visit, I try and find a way to go to Red Lobster. They don't have it in Vancouver, and it's a travesty! The cheddar biscuits here are like crack.
I came here for my dad's birthday dinner. Actually I kind of insisted on it, since I've been craving RL for quite some time. Also, we went because I noticed a new dinner deal where for $18 you get a soup, salad, choice of entree (out of 6 selections), and a choice of dessert. How awesome is that? Let me list this for you: 1. their clam chowder is ah-mazing, 2. the entree options are mostly shrimp, but there's a fish option there if you're not a fan, and 3. there's a chocolate option for the desserts. yes please! The other time that I'd love to hit up Red Lobster would be during Shrimp Fest. *drool*
Service was very good - food came out quick and our server was very attentive, bringing us refills before our drinks were even empty. This is a great place for a casual family meal, and I can't wait to come back again.
In summary: cheddar biscuits for the win.Listed in: Toronto Love

Haven't been to Red Lobster for over a year cuz last time we went the food was quite disappointing, but today was very good. This time we went for lunch, not as busy as dinner time, so maybe that's why the food was way better. As usual we loveeee their biscuits, they are so fluffy and warm mmm yum. They have now this special for only $18 and it comes with a soup, a salad, an entree (not moo many choices though) and a dessert, can't go wrong for the price. We also ordered another entree but that was not listed on the special :(, can't remember the name but it comes with 2 lobster tails, 2 types of shrimps, rice and broccoli, it was sooooo good. Also ordered an appetizer (called something like coconut island shrimps) but that we didn't really like, it was kind of sweet, not our taste for appetizers. Services was good, the only thing we didn't like was that she took a little long to bring us the drinks, but overall was good.

Well, it's Red Lobster. You pretty much know what to expect if you've ever been to one.
I went there on a Saturday, around 7pm, and it was PACKED. They said it'd be about an hour wait, and gave us one of those little pager things. About five minutes later it was vibrating and our table was ready. Weird.
Like I said, the place was rammed, but the waiter was fast and friendly and told us all about the specials and whatever else was going on that night. Service was great.
We started with some appetizers, escargot stuffed mushrooms and... something else. I forget. It was good though. My girlfriend had a Red Lobster ceasar, and I had a pint of Blue. They don't have many beers on tap there apparently. After the apps were done, they brought us our salads, and right when we finished those off our main courses arrived at our table. She had the steak oscar and I had the lobsterfest deal with the crab legs and lobster tail and shrimp assortment. Everything was cooked right and tasted awesome.
It wasn't the best meal I've ever had, but it was decent. I mean it's Red Lobster. You know? -

We took my dad out for an early father's day lunch at this Red Lobster location on the weekend. The place looks much better, I could tell it had been renovated. Previously the place was looking at bit dated, dark & claustrophobic. Now it looks spacious & brighter. Service was a little confused as our waiter couldn't remember who ordered what & there was only 5 of us! Other than that, quality of food is what you'd normally expect at this restaurant. It was good, but not gourmet class. A nice, casual weekend lunch place.

I've been here for a family get together on a few occasions and I must say even though I like the food and the service, something doesn't feel right. I feel that this restaurant has lost it's vibe or touch per say. The atmosphere isn't as exciting as it once was and I wonder if this is a bad sign of things to come for the future. However the food is good a little pricy but good, and the service is great. Hopeful for some kicks in enthusiasm.

This is the first time that I have visited a Red Lobster. The food was as expected for a chain store, and actually not bad. Our waiter, however, ruined the evening.
The three of us ordered 2 large entrees, one appetizer, and 3 drinks. After he served as the drinks, we asked for 3 glasses of water, and he brought 1. He didn't see happy about that. When we ordered, we told him that we were going to share the entrees, and asked that he bring us 3 smaller plates to share. He brought 2, and when we asked for a third, he really didn't seem happy about it. When he came back, we asked for a bottle of Tobasco, and he told us that we should have told him everything at once, and not one thing at a time.
I don't think I have ever heard that we need to aggregate my requests before. When we asked for the check, we made sure that we asked for the leftover boxes at the same time, cuz we didn't want to get another not-so-welcoming comment again. -

So the lobsterfest commercials finally got to me and off to red lobster me and the boyfriend went.
We got in right away although it was pretty busy and we were lucky enough to get the best waiter everrrrr. His name is patrick B, he has the oddest voice on a man I've ever heard. He sounds like he's straight out of like the 1800's deep south.
We got the 2 app deal - stuffed mushrooms and the mozza sticks. The mozza sticks were really good crispy and nice and hot.
Our apps were still being cooked so Patrick brought out our salads first along with the infamous biscuits ( omg yummmmm).
The stuffed mushrooms were decent but not the best ever, all I could taste was broccoli which I presume was added.
Our food came out shortly after, I had the seafood feast and my boyfriend had the ranibow trout.
My food came out piping hot, and I dug in. My boyfriend's dinner came w/ broccoli (again with the broccoli) and he asked if asparagus could be substitued. Patrick said they normally chatge but he would see what he could do, he came back to say they would switch and it would just be a few minutes while they cooked it fresh - how nice!!
At the end of the meal I hadn't eaten everything so patrick boxed up my meal, my boyfriend mentioned that I loved using the little fish fork, and patrick came back w/ a little dish of butter to go AND a shrimp fork for me to take home!!
Best service bar none at this red lobster, if you go ask for patrick!!
