It's Red Lobster, so you're not walking in expecting Forbe's Mill or L. B. Steakhouse, but the randomly placed printed banner signage, claustrophobic tables, and not so clean menus & flatware really anchored the experience in the realm of 3 stars (utensils were just really water spotty). Our server and the wait staff, in general, were pleasant and focused, the food was better than decent and not terribly overpriced (good portions), and the restrooms were clean. Not the top spot on my list, but we will definitely be back as long as it's there

It's was okay, but not my favorite place to go. The only reason we went was for my son who likes lobster. I ordered the spread meal, was not hot or look fresh, looked more like it was taken out of the microwave. I did like the watermelon martini.

The most amazing experience I’ve had at red lobster! It was four of us, we all ordered lobster plates! And 4 drinks, Bill ended up being over $300 but everything was tasty, prompt and we had such a good time. Will definitely return

This is our go to restaurant for inexpensive, first class sea food. I really enjoy the Kung Pao Noodles with crispy shrimp. My wife likes the Shrimp Alfredo. The Cheddar Biscuits are always great. Enjoy!

Abscense of service. The place wasn’t busy but we would have to walk up to the front desk and ask for the waiter. When the food arrived he would either slam it onto the table or give it to us to hold- mind you the plates were very hot. My sister got a fish bone stuck in her tonsil, but thankfully was able to get it out. Overall not a pleasant afternoon at Red Lobster.
