WILL NOT GO BACK!!!!. Went there for our son's 12th birthday. We went late, at 7 p.m. on a wednesday night to try to avoid the rush. Also have to little ones under 4. They were not busy at all! was told the wait would be about 25 minutes. Waited 45 min. When we were finally seated waited another 10 minutes for the waitress to even show up. All in all it took 2 1/2 hours for us to get our food. Only 2 of our party had anything other than water and we had to ask for those drinks 3 times. If it would not have been for our son's birthday we would have walked out. Never been so disappointed!!! Will not go back unless they change their policies and work practices.

Reservation for 91 year old--No deal-- Sit and wait!. I tried to make reservations for a birthday dinner for my mother's 91st birthday. They wouldn't make a reservation for 15 people. Sit and wait!

Also when ordering lobster they will serve you drawn butter (vegitable oil) instead of real butter. Real butter costs too much I guess.

Great place to eat seafood. Last Friday I went to Red Lobster restaurant with my husband and my daughter. We arrived there at 8 pm. It was very close to my home. It had a lot of parking spaces. Even though the restaurant was crowded and we had to wait for half an hour, we stayed anyway until they called us. The service was great. They gave us a high chair and a kids menu for my daughter. The food was so good because I like seafood. I have gone to many seafood restaurants in my life, but Red Lobster is my favorite. I ordered my favorite dish, Maui Luau Shrimp and Salmon. It was perfect, hot, and had a nice look. The salmon was rich and juicy, the dipping sauce was sweet and a little bit spicy, and the shrimps were roasted and delicious. I liked the Caesar salad and the biscuits that they offered. The restaurant’s atmosphere was wonderful, crowded, and with nice music. I felt comfortable and I liked the restaurant in general. The prices were good, reasonable and the food worth was it. We ate a lot and bought a lot, but we have enjoyed this restaurant for many years. Since I was in Canada two years ago, I have eaten in Red Lobster many times.

Casual crustacean-inspired chain serves up diet-defying seafood dishes in a family-friendly environment.. In Short
Live lobsters wriggle in a tank inside this seafood emporium, where nautical-patterned booths and colorful, fish-shaped tables in the bar area add subdued touches of whimsy to the room's classy dark wood accents. The menu can be downright decadent, with starters of artichoke lobster dip, seafood fondue, and crab-stuffed mushrooms. Entrees feature lighter, grilled fare like mahi-mahi and North Atlantic sea scallops, along with signature lobster dishes, snow crab legs, and jumbo fried shrimp platters.

Bad, Bad, Bad. I know it's a seafood restaurant, but the stong seafood smell as soon as you enter should not had been as bad as it was! It about made me sick! Then my husband ordered the grilled scallops, shrimp and lobster. They lacked any seasoning and were very rubbery/fishy tasting. Also, my husband's mashed potatoes were so hot when they came out they burned the top of his mouth and my side of broccoli was just that, broccoli. No seasoning what-so-ever! Only thing I ate were the biscuits and even they weren't any good.

RUBBER LOBSTER. This place has the worst lobster I've ever had in my life. I've eaten here 3 or 4 times and made the mistake of ordering lobster on two separate occassions. They were having a lobster special the last time I was there. I don't know why they don't know how to prepare lobster (after all, they're named after it), but both my companion and I had the rubberiest, toughest lobster tails that were almost inedible. When we complained about itl, they gave us a free dessert (big deal). It was a very expensive meal and it sucked! For the same price, you can get delicious, tender, sweet lobster tail at McCormick and Schmicks. If you want good seafood, don't waste your money at this 3rd rate chain.

Once Again, the Best Seafood in Town!!. My wife and I love seafood, especially Calamari. We have been to several different seafood restaurants in the Portland metro area, and once again Red Lobster delivers great food. We don't really go for the "CHAIN" eateries, but they have the best flavored calamari!!! It's inexpensive, too. If anyone thinks of a better calarari joint, let me know!!
