5 reviews for Red Lobster
I have to give this place 5 stars not necessarily because of the amazing tasting food, but because of the service of this place. People's opinion of Red Lobster is usually hit or miss; either people love the food or they don't. Personally I love the food. Being a franchise this place will have food that tastes like any other Red Lobster, so service is what separates the restaurants.
Our baseball team goes every year to pig out on AYCE shrimp. With 9 people going, most of them eating all the shrimp they can, it can be pretty demanding on the waiters. Although we had to wait for about 30 mins to get a table because they don't take reservations, I'm willing to overlook that.
With such a large party, there were 2 waiters assigned to our table, and they kept the shrimp and refill drinks coming to the very end. It even got to the point where they were bringing out shrimp dishes even if we didn't order them because they knew they would have to at some point. There were no unusually long waits in between shrimp deliveries and the food coming out was hot and fresh.
Approximately 825 shrimp later the feast was finished and a grand time was had by all.
Word of warning; Every time I've been to this place there is always a lineup. It seems to start between 6 and 7 so be ready to wait if you go.
if you like buttery seafood and want to seal the deal this place does trick. If the girl loves the Mandingo take her here. She will be impressed by the 70-100 for two dinner they will serve you. Large, diabetes inducing frozen drinks paired with artery clogging fried Seafood will set the mood. Ordered some tilapia, a few vegetables, along with a glass of Red Wine(gotta make sure the cox works afterward) meanwhile my date ordered a daiquiri the size of a japanese fighting fish bowl along with some fried slop. Waiter here was extra friendly, food came out on time and i had this animal naked in my hotel room(literally across the street, why else would I come here) playing the meat flute minutes after paying the bill here.
Did the job for me, hope it does for you.
Although I'm not a big seafood eater I have to hand it to Red Lobster for making me a sea food lover everytime I go through.
My ex-girlfriend and a couple friends of ours, we have this tradition of going to Red Lobster every summer during lobster season. Usually we go to the one up in Sudbury but this summer since we are all in Southern Ontario (and the fact that I work in the same building) we decided to hit this one up.
The atmosphere is typical of any Red Lobster and though appropriately themed the place was also well-kept. I think the biggest mess was around my spot because when I eat... I EAT! (That sounded so sexual, oh gawd)
The food was great. But that is also typical of a Red Lobster. The one thing I noticed, however, is that Southern Ontario chain restaurants are generally better at what they do than in the North.
The service was great! One strange quirk is that I ordered a dessert to be brought to my ex after her meal since it was her birthday and when we got the bills they seperated them all and put the cake on her bill... I was picking up her bill anyways but how strange that they would have put it on her bill when someone else requested it for her. Sheesh!
All in all a great red lobster. Would definitely reccomend it to someone looking for a Red Lobster. It was worth the drive downtown from North York to hit this Red Lobster.
Notable for the coronary-inducing cheese biscuits and the sheer variety of seafood you can order soaked in your choice of butterfat. Far be it from me to say anything against butter and cream, but here it feels a bit... mechanical? It's an easy place to take kids, and it's a relatively inexpensive place to indulge your shrimplust. Good comfort food!
Decent seafood at a good price. Cheap drinks, kid friendly, an east choice - a fave!
