I have always love Red Lobster however Saturday September 14 2024 we had an average meal and a wonderful waitress. The shrimp Alfredo was really bad pasta was dried out shrimp was boiled looking tasteless. I don’t like to down anything so I only hope to encourage. The landscape is horrible so bad and grown up we really thought you were closed down. Check it out please do better.

Food is typical Red Lobster, good but, overpriced. Our waiter must have been new as he did not know much about the menu. But, then we had to ask for things that were supposed to be in our meal. Kitchen/cook error? Ended up taking things home because we were done eating and then they arrived. Not the best experience.

I know chain restaurants vary from town to town. And we have eaten at some very bad Red Lobsters. This one however was very good. My girlfriend and I were able to get away for the night to Lake City. We had an early dinner before checking into hotel. We got there around 4:15 and ordered a cocktail with soup and salad. We were just finishing my salad her soup and our main course was delivered. Our waitress was right on point with her timing. Our ultimate feasts were excellently cooked. The lobster was moist and tender. Crab legs were nice and steamed. Cracked open like a charm. The garlic shrimp scampi were huge. Largest shrimp we’ve ever seen for the scampi. The fried shrimp were very tender. I just didn’t care for the breading. But that was just my preference. We eat at a lot of chain restaurants and have noticed that if you go between lunch and dinner the cooks are not running around scrambling and the place is not packed. The food is cooked properly. Not overcooked. We had a very nice dinner. And KUDOS to BRITTANY D. She was a fantastic waitress!!!Very polite and friendly. And she was not at all pesty like some wait staff could be.

The review covers two recent visits. On the previous there was no greeter and after searching for staff the takeout order was filled by the manager helping in the kitchen. On this eat-in visit, there was a greeter, Emily. She had the dining areas clearly separated. One side was diverse and the other was not. On the diverse side there was someone clearly sick (sneezing and coughing loudly). I requested to be seated on the opposite side. I suppose we didn't meet her criteria as she stumbled to make excuses not to seat us in the obviously available open booth. There was no excuse. With no additional staff or number of visitors on the side with no diversity she seated a couple that I guess met her criteria. We now have colds from being seated next to the party that was ill. Our colds will get better but I can't say the same for her success. This location is rarely busy in an area with many other dining options. Myself and my friends and family will avoid this location and rest assured, we span BOTH sides of the dining area. The food on this visit was fine except for the coleslaw that had a raw taste as though stored in an open container with seafood product. On the previous visit I did not enjoy the Crabfest roasted garlic option that I tried. The one star is for the amazing server that we had. A pleasant older gentleman and the manager on the previous visit trying to keep it together without good help. Not sure if settling was the proper solution though.

Went for crab fest. Attentive server even though they appeared to be short staffed. The new scallop and bacon appetizer was delicious. Our food was cooked properly and came out promptly after our appetizer. Was checked on by host and other servers throughout the visit also. Never had a bad meal here and will be back.

Birthday dinner for my husband. His steak was raw see photo, my lobster was the size of jumbo shrimp no seasoning also crab legs, both were over cooked like rubber. In almost empty dining room the hostess seated two women with 7 kids next to us. Lots of screeching from 2 in highchairs. Waiter completely in his own world. Horrible service. Did not ask to send food back & wait again. Just ask for to-go boxes and had to do that 2 times. Won't be back. 3rd visit with being sorry we tried again.

This restaurant is normally decent…but today at 6pmish it was absolutely disgusting…the floor (throughout the restaurant) was littered with food and old napkins…the booth seats had crumbs…the fully set tables had dirt under the menus…the health dept should be notified…I left bc I was so disgusted but spoke with the manager before leaving…he didn’t say too much…but the hostess began cleaning as I was there…to which I stated if the staff is only cleaning bc of a complaint when it was visibly dirty…the restaurant has a bigger problem…and if the front of the house looks like that then I’m terrified to see what the back of the house looks like…at this point, I will not step into this restaurant.

Super hungry after a long day at work, decided on Red Lobster, so glad we did, the food was platted very nicely and was fresh and hot. The service was good and we were offered dessert. We were both too full from our meal to have dessert buy maybe next visit. We will be back. Thanks to management and staff at this Red Lobster.

It usually takes a while to get a call in here. Not sure why!?! Story... I called in my daughters child chicken strip meal. Chicken n fries basic! She loves cheddar bay biscuits. I order an additional dozen to go along with her meal. I make my order, call restaurant number two to place my tour of it’ly order, take the dog out, then head up to red lobster to get my meal. Parking lot had less than 10 cars in it. Including employees. Fingers crossed, maybe I won’t have to wait long. Oops, forgot my mask! Shouldn’t be a problem, not many folks here. The staff should wearing them I’ll be okay?!? Well half of the staff are wearing them, so forget customer safety! After a few minutes of waiting patiently , I ask about my order. Hostesses will check and see. While waiting I speak to the others who too are waiting. One was a delivery driver. I noticed he kept glancing at his phone. He told me he was watching his rating drop. You could see he was getting texts too. His customer trying to find out where their food was. Turns out, he’d already been there for twenty-four minutes??? Uh oh. , I think to myself, poor guy it’s not fair to him. Not his fault. He said he’d been here several times today. All of which seemed to take forever. A couple of the waiters are consistently on the claw(ball). Constantly soothing waiting customers who are seated. But they too seem to be having problems with the kitchen getting food out timely. - I’m stuck. Nothing I can do but hope my second order at another restaurant will still be fresh. They looked busy when I drove by!! Finally my food arrives. I rush out trying to get to my food not checking my order that was hurriedly, squished, into the bag. Surely it’s correct! NOT!!! Fries were soggy and not in their own container as I had asked for , or that very reason. And what the heck! Where are the biscuits for her meal??? In conclusion, 40 minute wait. Called in directly to the restaurant (for speed and a personal local touch) missing food. Not busy at all! When I called back to have order corrected, was put on hold two times. Finally hung up when I realized it wasn’t happen soon. Now I’m going to reheat my cold Tour of Italy, which by the way, had been waiting for me for twenty minutes. Olive Garfen was busy and yet my food was quick and correct. This Red Lobster has a turrible history of this. I would try someplace else unless you have a LOT of time on your hands and patience when the food comes out incorrect. Even if it looks “not busy”, which it probably isn’t, make it a last resort choice. Hope you get Mark or TJ’s table if you choose to go in. They’ll atleast feel disappointed and try to take care of you, when the kitchen screws things up. If you order here and use a delivery service, go easy on your driver. It really wasn’t their fault! 40 minutes for soggy fries and kids chicken strips no biscuits in her meal ! ( the one thing she wanted)!

Took my elderly mom. I guess they saw two old ladies and figured they could pull this, The food wasn’t that great, way overdone, but then they tried to charge us for two beers we didn’t order. Pretty obvious it was intentional. Disgusted. They also failed to bring us extra napkins for the corn on the cob, no refills on drinks. Last last time I give Red Lobster a chance.

Our recent visit to Red Lobster was disappointing. The fish was overcooked, and tasteless. The broccoli too was overcooked and soggy. The creamy lobster mashed potatoes were tasteless. The only part of the meal that was good was the cheddar biscuits. We have always enjoyed our meals at Red Lobster. Was this an off night for the cook?

Madison was great and the food was delicious! The lobster tails were cooked just right. Every time we're in Lake City, we come here. Never a disappointment.
