My visit to the Red Lobster in Cherry Hill was on a Tuesday evening during standard dinner hours. It was a pleasant experience and wasn't crowded in the dining room. The bar area had a decent turnout at that time. (Maybe they offer happy hour specials? I don't know for sure.)
Service was quite nice, with attentive staff catering to our needs. The only minor downside was that the tables seemed a tad greasy, but that didn't detract significantly from the overall experience. It just made me a little uncomfortable to rest my arms on it. (Then again, my mother always told me not to eat with my elbows on the table, so...)
One of the restaurant's standout features is its location next to the Cherry Hill Mall. It's incredibly convenient for those looking to refuel after a long shopping day.
But let's talk about food. I opted for the two-selection combo, which included broiled scallops, roasted flounder, orzo rice, and french fries. The flavors were good, and the dishes were well-prepared. On the other hand, my wife ordered the ultimate feast and said her shrimp scampi was a bit on the salty side. (But not a deal breaker I guess, because she did eat all of it.)
In terms of pricing, Red Lobster leans a bit on the higher side compared to other dining options in the area, although it's not outrageously expensive for what it is. After all, seafood usually comes with a premium price tag, so you already know what to expect. Our meal for two, without drinks or appetizers, came to around $75 (minus tip).
Overall, I enjoyed going to Red Lobster after all this time. Heck, I hadn't been to one since I was a kid!
