Red Lobster

We stopped in for a quick light lunch at the bar. The lunch was good, the service excellent, but what was exceptional was the cleanliness of the bar area. (The bar area of restaurants often have a distinctive bar odor)

Please do not eat here!!! «Cooks» spend more time touching their face, hair and phones more than than they cook your terrible frozen seafood dinner.
I actually went here twice during a business trip where I was staying at a nearby hotel. This location has the kitchen in open site to most of the diners and it’s NOT a good thing. As I waited for my order I watched the staff work in the kitchen. Both the young man and women that where cooking where flirting and constantly touching their faces and hair. I actually thought they were calling in a order because they were on their phone so much. They would put their phones in a rag as they tried to keep a low profile but the manager didn’t notice because she was to busy being useless and bothering everyone at their tables asking if everything was alright. Lady! Take care of the bus route before you ask everyone if they are enjoying their ride to a place they don’t want to go. I actually could hear the loud dialogue between the two flirty «cooks» as one complained about his baby momma and their son etc. I actually never thought of red lobster as a dump but this place has changed my mind. I should have known the food was frozen and just needed to be heated up and thrown on a plate. I literally got up and left all my food and drink at the table, paid my bill and got the hell out of dodge. DO NOT GO HERE!!!

food is delicious and service is good. but sometimes, they don’t have all the appetizers listed in the menu

This location (maybe all Red Lobsters?) has really upped their game. Great grilled trout, attentive but not annoying service. Chocolate wave cake with ice cream was the perfect end.

The food was delicious and their strawberry lemonade was awesome! The seafood was fresh, we will definitely go back.

The overall experience was good. The food took a little long coming out. We had a great waitress.

Haven’t been to Red Lobster in several years. Their menu has changed a lot and they offer far more than I ever remember. We went in a party of 11 and got a private back room. Our waiter was great and very friendly and the food came out hot.
Overall a good experience, it gets a 4 Star because it’s a large chain so the food is always a little bland. They don’t get a 5 Star because places like Blue Water Seafood exist.

I’m not a big fan of Red Lobster because my meal ends up being a big carb fest filled with sopping buttery entrees and I always leave thinking, «Ugh, there goes the diet»…but my son always begs to go here since he loves seafood-​so I gave in.
We ordered the stuffed mushrooms but honestly, please pass on these, they’re a goopy fattening mess. I’ve been spoiled eating the stuffed mushrooms at Perry’s.
The cheesy muffins they bring out of course are heavily and irresistible and delicious. The clam chowder was super tasty and I’m sure not part of the slender diet menu either. Mr. G had the mussels and gave them the thumbs up-​he was given a nice size bowl with toasted baguette and he ate them all up.
Kids menu had great choices and my mini gourmet opted for the crab legs with broccoli which was a hit. My other son enjoyed some grilled chicken.
Time to exercise some will power or start ordering off the kids menu, avoid tempting entrees because there are some healthy options here, but it will be hard to pass up those yummy biscuits.
Friendly attentive service is always a plus.

We frequently eat here because the food is exceptionally good and their Drinks are Awesome. Chris is an outstanding bartender and really knows how to make a drink. Everything is perfect here from Entrees to Salads to Drinks. Really great atmosphere for Couples and date night.

This place has definitely gotten better over the past year. Staff is on top of it and food comes out great. Mixed drinks are also very awesome there!

Contrast this Red Lobster location with the one on the north side of Conroe!
This one (South Conroe/​Shenandoah) is certainly worth a visit.
The one in north Conroe is to be avoided. I wouldn’t go to the one in north Conroe even if I had a coupon for a free meal!
The food quality and service at the Red Lobster on the southbound I-​45 feeder between Hwy 242 and Research Forest are far better than what you get at the north Conroe location (but the prices are the same)!
Hard to believe both locations are part of the same chain!

The worst shrimp scampi and the soggiest fried shrimp ever. And if they can’t find shrimp that is larger than a paperclip along the Gulf Coast you know it’s been frozen in some factory in Florida and shipped here in a Ryder truck.
Scampi was drowned in icky oily butter and the fried shrimp could barely hold up to the red sauce I had to slather on it to eat it.
Why did I go? My Godson — bless his heart — loves Red Lobster. I’ve got to start just saying «no» when he recommends Red Lobster and take him to try some real seafood along the Texas Gulf Coast. Ugh.
They price it like it’s fresh from the Gulf and cook it like they’ve never seen seafood before. The baked «loaded» potato had butter and sour cream only. Loaded? Me thinks not.
I’m not even going to sicken you with reviews of the rest of our meals. Just hear this: THERE IS BETTER SEAFOOD SOMEWHERE ELSE FOR THE SAME PRICE AND YOU SHOULD FIND IT!
Why 2 stars instead of 1? The server was slow but very friendly and kept my sweet tea glass full and the red wine salad dressing was pretty tasty.

I must say that I wS excited to see
A rather new Red Lobster. I had fried shrimp and it tasted like they went to the Walmart frozen food sections and bought a bag already battered and ready to cook. I was horrible. 7÷1÷2013 Have not been back since…
