Current Events > What are CE's thoughts on Red Lobster?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Like it? Favorite items?
---

Most of CE is too low class to eat at a place like Red Lobster.
---

I love the biscuits and shrimp.
---

I've had no reason to go there after the cheese biscuits began being sold in a box-mix.

Overpriced and overrated.

The rolls are alright.
The Shrimp Fest is meh, you need to get like 10 refills of any of the good stuff.

Far from the best seafood restaurant but it's not bad. I eat there a couple times a year
---

I only ever went for All You Can Eat Shrimp. Then I'd eat so much shrimp scampi that I'd wake up in the middle of the night dehydrated from all the garlic. I'd eat so much shrimp that if Boogie2988 were with me then he'd be like "bro, slow down. I can't eat that much."

But I haven't been back to Red Lobster in a few years.

Its decent, but the service leaves a lot to be desired. Plus it is always packed wall to wall

Not really worth the money, but its worth trying atleast once

Weathervane > Red Lobster.

There used to be one that was built out of(or to look like, memories are vague) a boat near the coast in New Hampshire. That place was amazing.
---

When I was a kid, they were tiered in between Applebee's/Olive Garden and Chili's/O'Charley's. But I recently went to another one and it was much better so maybe they've improved over the last 15 years and I should try them again.

Too expensive? You guys think so?

nah. you're getting semi-fresh fish and microwaved sides for a reasonable price.

I like them better then the other places in it's class. Those set down places that are not too fancy but are not fast food either .

Really does he really need to be brought into the conversation here.

I never ate at Red Lobster growing up because I was living in Maine and as a seafood elitist Red Lobster was an abomination. You could make yourself better seafood from the supermarket or corner store.

I have been there now that I am older and it's ok. Too expensive and not that fancy. It's basically Olive Garden fancy.

EDIT: The biscuits are fantastic. So good. I would go for those. lol. Those and bread sticks from OG. Bread it my weakness.

Mediocre seafood
---

Second favorite seafood restaurant behind Long John Silvers.
---

Their cheese biscuits are my favorite thing there. Anything else can be done better somewhere else. And really, so can the cheese biscuits.

The closest one I know of sits across the street from a Golden Coral, and I think that sums it up perfectly.
---

Them and Olive Garden are the 2 best restaurants.
---

the biscuits are pretty great

I still can't find a place near me that serves great big scallops instead of the scallop balls.

hibachi grills usually have pretty nicely sized scallops

Too low class? Dude red lobster is like the McDonald's of seafood. Their lobster tastes like rubber, and their only redeeming menu item are their biscuits which are better anyways if you buy the boxed stuff and make your own at home.

Red Lobster is trash.

on the coast, getting fresh seafood from a local joint is WAY better.

This. Eating red lobster is only excusable if you live in a landlocked flyover state.
---

I think it's fine. Like everyone said, it's all about them biscuits.
---

I go there maybe once a year for a live lobster. Too expensive to go more often. Fucking ND.
---

I love Red Lobster. And I love Captain D's. :v

For a restaurant that specializes in lobster, it sure does suck at making it.
