    The food was really good. Our server seemed like she was either new or just distracted but when she gave us our check she told us she was heading home so if we could cash out quickly. It was Father’s Day so we were in no rush but she definitely will and it wasn’t that busy. Maybe an off day for her. We will definitely be back but definitely not with this server. She needs more training for sure. But the other servers were on top of their tables I saw everyone’s server but ours. And when she did show up she was so distracted it was terrible. But the food was great. There was a runner (I believe that’s what she was) going around checking on ppl she was a sweetheart! Definitely seemed to enjoy her job and ppl. Hostess was overwhelmed. But anyways the food was great, service was terrible, atmosphere was great.

    Dinner here was everything we hoped it would be! Our server was perky & attentive. She made sure our drinks were refilled. The salad & biscuits were delish. Our shrimp, fish & scallops were perfectly prepared & served hot. It could not have gone better!

    It was an excellent meal, and the service was wonderful. I had my 98 year old mother and 103 year old aunt. Mom was treating me and my husband on my 70th birthday. Red Lobster was the perfect choice.

    La comida muy fría. A las mesas no las recogen. Habían muchas mesas llenas de platos y comida sin recoger. En fin por el precio la comida es muy mala.

    Great selections on the menu, we chose the 3 for you. It was worth the price. We loved that they allow “call aheads”. Would be much more convenient if they allowed reservations. With today’s climate and shortage of staffing, we rarely dine somewhere without reservations

    Wanted to hit Red Lobster for Lobster Fest. Wasn’t crowded. Ambience is kind of weird because of how quiet it is. Server was great but it took forever (40 minutes) for the food to come out. Snow crab legs were disappointingly skinny. Overall it was good, definitely not the best seafood place in town but I wasn’t expecting that anyway.

    Our server was fairly new but did a great job. For some reason diners were being given plastic ware utensils which we didn’t understand but were given ‘regular’ silverware when we requested them. Were never given a reason to this. Scallops were cooked perfectly but for once I didn’t like that there was too much bacon (full strip) wrapped around each scallop, & therefore bacon wasn’t like usual.

    It was marginal at best, broccoli was dry as a chip and they served stock, the fish was not great. The waitress was very nice, but the food was a disappointment.

    My sister had to re-order a drink which the server took a while to bring back? We also waited a while for our food, A few came out of sequence. The service was very attentive but he was still a little behind pace.

    The food didn’t come out right. The chips we ordered were greasy and it took forever to get them. The rest of the food was average at best with the lobster being undercooked

    Thought we’d grab a quick dinner at a chain restaurant. Big mistake. Overall Horrible experience. We were put in this tiny little back room next to a family with a screaming kid. I felt like I was locked in a daycare the size of a closet. The service was slow. I think they forget we were back there. We had a handicapped person with our party and they sat us all the way in the back making this person walk really far when he was obviously struggling. The restaurant had plenty of open tables in the front. When they finally moved our table (they claimed they needed a table to free up first, again, plenty of empty tables) they then forgot one of our orders. Overall it was like a 3 hour horrible experience which I don’t care to ever ever experience again. I will never go back to this place.

    We have eaten here before no problems. Server took order. Bar beverages took long time. Server said the ticket got lost but he would get drinks right away. My husband and I both ordered all you can eat shrimp. My salad was fine. My first scampi was fine but shrimp pasta and hubby's fiesta was flavorless and cool and ginger shrimp was cold. I ordered 2nd order scampi and ginger and hubby ordered friend and ginger. He got his fried and I got scampi. His fried was cold. He got an order of ginger but mine didn't come. His ginger shrimp were ice cold but the plate was hot. We called manager over and explained our disappointment as we don't ever get to go out and made special arrangements with a friend to pick kids up from daycare and drive out to this location because he lives out there to pick up our kids. While she was there, my ginger shrimp finally came. I touched in front of her and they were cold. She ended up finding out the heating lamp was turned off, but we had already told her we were done and dissatisfied for the night. Our date night was done ruined. She did provide us with enough scampi shrimp , ginger shrimp and bread to bring home for a meal and covered all our bill but our first round of bar beverages. We will come back as we have had only positive other experiences at this location. We still tipped our server the full $17.00 as most of the issue wasn't his.

    I would not recommend the Red Lobster in Waterford Lakes. Our service was slow from start to finish. We were seated promptly upon arrival, but waited so long for anyone to acknowledge us that we were discussing whether or not we should just leave. After nearly 10-minutes, one of us went to the hostess stand to inquire. Finally our server did come to the table and apologized for the wait...she said that she did not see us, but on two occasions had attended to a table nearby. We were not asked if we would like bread, and had to ask for it. Then when it was brought to us, there were only three pieces (there were three of us in our party). The food quality is fair at best and the price point is too high. Not a good service experience nor a good value for your money.
