Red Lobster

  We've never had a bad meal here, honestly.  It is what it is: a Red Lobster.  We were just in for "Shrimp Fest," and had a very friendly, efficient server.  While she biffed my choice of shrimp, she recognized her own error immediately and rectified it nearly instantaneously.  I can't fault that.  
  
  The restaurant was clean, we were seated promptly, and our food was all good.  No complaints .  My "A-OK" is a thumbs up with a smile, not a "meh, it was OK."  But it's just Red Lobster, so I can't go quite to "I'm a fan!"  3.5 stars. whatsoever

  You know, I used to be a Red Lobster snob -- I remember eating fried shrimp there when I was a kid -- but now I have to admit that for the kind of restaurant it is, it's really not bad.  The salad is always fresh, and the dressing tasty (though they tend to pour it on -- always get it on the side).  The garlic biscuits are kind of addictive.I am not a big fan of shellfish, so I haven't had the gargantuan "feasts" they advertise, but from looking at what friends have ordered, it looks about like what you would expect.  The fresh fish selections, though, are surprisingly tasty.  The side vegetables, on the other hand, are always awful -- horribly overcooked.
  
  I've always experienced good service, and this week's visit was no exception.  The interior of every Red Lobster, though, is tired tired tired.  I suppose that's part of its "charm."

  We received good service from Alicia B. Unfortunately, the food was awful. The lobster was tough, and what did they fry that calamari and overcooked vegetables in? I question if the butter had any butter component at all. Disgusting.

  Service was ok. Food was lukewarm, but on a side note the lobster bake potato was really hot and very good.  Food is overprice at best not always worth the money spent.

  It was my first time at a Red Lobster of any kind, and I have to say that I enjoyed it. The prices were great, and the food was pretty good. It wasn't anything spectacular, but it was nice eating some lobster at a good price, as I'm sure not everyone does that often considering how expensive it can get.
  
  The facility itself was in pretty good condition and pretty clean. The servers were polite and friendly, and our waitress in particular (Kate) was incredibly nice and friendly.
  
  Overall, while not the best food in the world, for the price, it was pretty decent. The biscuits are highly regarded, and with good reason - they were delicious. Service was great and we had a great time. Definitely want to come back here sometime.

  What started out as a good experience came to a screeching halt when we were forgotten about by our waitress.   The food was good however they were out of our appitizer and offered no substitute.  When we were finished we waited close to 15 min and 5 or more passes by our waitress before we could get her attention for our check and a take home box.  Loved our waitress to deth until she forgot us. Unfortunatly this isn't the first time we have had this problem at this particular location.
