This place is so delicious it's unreal. The bartender accidentally made the wrong drink and then gave me two for one, food is outstanding in the selection is wonderful (you can basically customize to get exactly what you want), and we were extremely pleased with the service. he was even super patient with our 5 year old who was having trouble making up his mind. We will come back again and again!

Came for lunch. Nice and quiet spot on a Thursday afternoon. Lots of lunch specials during the week! Ordered Lobster bisque, Caesar salad, popcorn shrimp, shrimp scampi, and fried flounder. I think the oil might have been a little low temp, could have been a little crispier but overall a delicious and quick lunch. Yum!

I had not been to this Red Lobster before, but my sister insisted so we went. It was crowded. Waited to be seated about 25 mins. Our waiter was slow. Biscuits were hard, too crumbly and dry. We ordered 2 orders of Fish and Fries (Friday special) and 2 plates of the shrimp special. My mom and sister enjoyed the shrimp with bacon special. My nephew got fish and fries... his food came first ... hot fresh and good. Then my fish and fry plate came ... cold fries and RAW fish! Yuck. Returned plate to cook again... plate came back after I talked to my waiter and the manager ...30 mins later. Everyone was done eating in my party. I could not eat my fish and fries. They were hot and cooked through but I just packed it all to go. Disappointed. I was given coupon to return from the manager... maybe when and if I return I can give a better review.

We went because my kids saw the commercial for thre all you can eat shrimp deal. Quality was ok. The fried shrimp are bit salty. Nonetheless, we enjoyed the different variety of shrimps. I tried the lobster roll and it was not bad but not great. On the side note, their Boston ice teas and the warm bread were pretty good.

Ive never been here before just came to get a cold one. The inside was very dark like a drive bar . restaurant looks very old school. Didnt order any food. My server christain c. Was very nice and attentive. The beer was nice and cold. And under 6$ for 6.2% thats wat i like. Only bad thing was he gave me a lime slice that was yellow. Yellow means it was pretty old . Besides that not bad place for drinks. Big a plus for nice cold AC didn't try the food that's why I gave two star but if you're looking for a drink maybe stop by here not a big crowd

The service was good and the food was even better. I've been eating at this same location fir over 30 years and it's still as good as the first time I ate here. I highly recommend the coconut shrimp, its truly amazing and my favorite dish here!

Service was great! Restaurant was empty. We were there about 11:30. My husband enjoyed his popcorn shrimp my sShrimp linguini Alfredo was meh. I took a couple of bites and just couldn't eat anymore. It wasn't pleasing to the eyes and just bland. The peach smoothie was great though! Served like a milkshake. Cheesy biscuits weren't what I remembered. But OK. Hadn't been there in a very long time and after this visit really have no desire to go back. Too many other places out there! Manja!

We went for the endless shrimp only to find out the price went from 17.99 to 23.99. Then come to find out instead of 2 sides like we use to get they reduced it to one side and only 2 choices of shrimp instead of 3. We waited almost 30 minutes after ordering to get our meal. Then when we asked for more they would only do one type at a time. So we wait. And we get 6 shrimp scampi. Now we ask again for more shrimp and wait another 17 minutes get the next one. 6 more shrimp. Of course I am frustrated just waiting for 6 shrimp with these prices and cutting back on what you get is just too much. I will not be returning any time soon. Too bad I use to love this place. We got seated around 4:50 and left at 6:40.
