If you’re a regular at Red Lobster, you probably have a go-to menu item. Sure, you’ve tried some other things, but you know what you like. However, if you haven’t been to the restaurant in a while, or you’re looking to mix it up, there are a lot of options to choose from. A lot of it may sound good when you read the description on the menu, but not all of their dishes are all they’re cracked up to be. We tried 15 different menu items from Red Lobster, and we’ve ranked them from worst to best, so you know what to order.

In nearly 30 years of going to multiple Red Lobsters in multiple states and different cities within those states I have NEVER had a bad meal at any of them ever. All the shrimp, all the lobster, all the appetizers, all the desserts I have ever had anywhere have always been outstanding. After watching this video and seeing all the pics of the food I want to drive 130 miles to my nearest Red Lobster for dinner tonight!

I quit going to Red Lobster when I was served a salad that had a dead fly in it. When I pointed it out to the manager, he told me that if I saw where the salads were made I would understand how this happened. His comments did not inspire confidence in continuing to dine there.

From a former employee. The clam chowder should taste exactly the same every time, everywhere, since it is canned. Also, the pasta sauces are frozen in giant bags and the biscuits are a mix. Very few menu items are made from scratch at the restaurant. It all comes from a giant Red Lobster manufacturing facility, so if any of these items are not up to par, you are at a REALLY BAD Red Lobster.

From reading all the comments, it seems that the most important factor in having a satisfying meal at Red Lobster is the kitchen staff. Some cooks are just better at it than others. From my own RL experiences I'd pronounce many of their offerings as tasty, if maybe a bit heavy on the sodium.

Mkay just bring your family on Tuesday night and have some margaritas and your kids eat at no extra cost as long as you buy a meal for the adult party. If you have friends that work in the kitchen at Red Lobster you get an additional %25 off and as always you will earn reward points.

If you can find a "clean" Red Lobster...good luck! The one in our area is down right dirty. 20 yrs ago it was one of the most popular restaurants in our town, & hard to find a parking space, now the lot is most always empty. If U decide to go inside, there is always a wait for seating. Not due to customers, but from the staff standing around talking to each other while all the empty tables are loaded with dirty dishes. If you do eventually get seated, U can observe the staff wiping down the tables with filthy rags that look like they've never been washed. On our trip we actually got up & left...it was so unsanitary in the dining room, we shuddered to think what the kitchen was like. Maybe the chain has better places in other states, but in our area, customers don't dine there any more!

Not everything is terrible. Endless shrimp is good, especially scampi and grilled shrimp options. (Make sure you can eat about four servings!) A lobster feast during the specials (without the pasta side)--just three different versions of lobster, plus making sure the lobster arrives "juicy" is a good bet. Avoid anything fried, especially some of those nasty appetizers like fried mozzarella sticks.

A little hole in the wall, but for $20 for all you an eat crab legs and another $25 to make it a shared dinner with $15/pitcher of whatever you want to drink.. not bad for 3 people who are hungry lol okay, we might have had all you can eat shrimp as well as the crab legs... Sort of drunk that day, between the beach sun and ocean surf, and the quiet coolness of Charlie Horse restaurant in Ormond beach FL, all I know is that it beat Red Lobster any day of the week..

The jumbo shrimp are actually flattened popcorn sized shrimp dipped in a lot of batter to make them look jumbo, and then fried. What you end up with is an oily, soggy, doughy, minced up plankton sized shrimp that the tail that’s left on it is the biggest, most authentic part of the whole shrimp that you’re getting. I had to send mine back last night and the manager did admit that the shrimp is frozen and sent to the restaurants to throw in the fryer. It’s really a shame. Red Lobster used to be a really good place to eat. They also need to get rid of the nasty lobster tanks that hold the poor lobsters sitting in them waiting for death.
