Other than the hostess who appeared to be bored and irritated that she had to seat us, the food was excellent and our server was great with our young kids.

My husband and I were out to dinner early with a fun night ahead of us. I ordered the fish & chips and it tasted like it had been sitting under a heat lamp for an hour. They were not all that busy so i don't understand why our food was not delivered fresh and hot.

I had the trio shrimp, scallops, and rock lobster tail. This was delicious. The clam chowder was excellent and the biscuits are just addicting. Stuffed mushrooms great appetizer. Service was very good as well as the price.

The service here stinks! This was our second try, because I love seafood and most Red Lobsters do a good job. Last time we waited for over 45 minutes before I spoke with the manager and we left. This time, we waited for 48 minutes to be seated, only after being told that the wait should be about 20 minutes.... More

For a chain restaurant, it's pretty good. Been to Red Lobster's in NYC area and finally made it to the one on Wolf Rd. Huge portions that are reasonably priced. Friendly and knowledgeable waitstaff. I definitely recommend the king crab legs. They are always delicious and filling.

Every dish was too salty. I wish I could just soak all my food in hot water before consuming them. This place cannot be healthy for anyone. Our server was OK at first but when we commented about how salty the food was she did not seem very happy. Perhaps, she assumed her tip was going to be low. So,... More

We love seafood and have always enjoyed the Red Lobster. Usually specific instructions for preparing food have been honored. We do not know whether the server did not put our request for no salt into the order or if the items requested could not be changed, but we do know the meal was salty. Their website does not include nutrition... More

Love red lobster but wish they would do call ahead seating or reservations, I still just can't believe that even on week nights we sometimes have to wait an hour or more to be seated. :(
