About

This Red Lobster is a real mixed bag. Some guests have a fantastic time with great service from staff like Riley and Nicole, enjoying hot, fresh seafood. Others report long waits, cold food, and poor service. It seems like the experience really depends on the day and the server you get. It's a spot that can be a great date night or a total disaster.
