Red Lobster

I like Red Lobster every now and then. It's not exciting, but the food is good enough, and you usually know what you get.

This time around, we had a little surprise.  Big, black hair in my wife's cheese biscuit.

Guess we won't be going back.  Shame, the server couldn't have been nicer, and the rest of the food was up to par, but...

Came in for lunch with low expectations...

I haven't had the best times at Red Lobster,  the wait staff was courteous and friendly.  
I started with a Mai Tai, which was great and had a good punch... right after my drink landed, out came the biscuits... I got some scampi sauce for the dipping and the waiter didn't put it on my bill, ... I ordered the mango-jalapeño shrimp, which come over a great wild rice and Shrimp in Alfredo sauce and linguine with some broccoli... The food was piping hot, good flavors and on point...

I was highly satisfied and left feeling full and wanting a bed...

All I can say is do not go here on a Sunday!  The church crowd is in full throttle with screaming babies to boot--pretty much a guaranteed hour wait and heavy noise once you are seated.  Go on the weekdays instead, especially in the early evening hours (4-6).  In my experience, you are seated and served quickly, and it's quiet!  For the most part, the servers have been excellent, and some have been outstanding.  One server kept replenishing our drinks and biscuits without my having to ask, and he gave some extra biscuits for the road!  Since I'm a creature of habit, there are certain foods that I consistently order here: Caesar salad, grilled shrimp, baked potatoes, sirloin, and broccoli.  I've been going here for about three years.  Yes, I know, it's a chain. But come on, each store in a chain can have some personality, and this one, I would argue, distinguishes itself through its quality service.
