Red Lobster

Haven't been to a Red Lobster in a long time. We came in on 4th of July. Took us about 5 minutes to be seated. I got the Ultimate Endless Shrimp and everything was tasty. I only wish the garlic shrimp was less oily and buttery. Everyone in my family enjoyed their dishes. The lobsters were great and just how we all wanted it. Must try the fried green beans. Those were so good!!! And yes, the desserts so so so delicious!!! Service was awesome!!! Everything was clean and well maintained.

Had a good family dinner here on a Thursday, restaurant was quiet and we were served quickly. I ordered the salmon which was quite tasty for having been served at a restaurant, I would definitely recommend. Oh and the crispy brussel sprouts here are to die for (if you like brussel sprouts), high in sugar I'm sure but they're great! On this particular visit the trout and fish fry were pretty lackluster.. Red Lobster is traditionally good at dishes like crab, lobster and shrimp although more expensive than I prefer so we don't eat here often. Staff was friendly and helpful.

Had the 20 dollar deal and chose the shrimp Alfredo, the skewers and the side of mashed potatoes. My second plate was the coconut shrimp. It was tasty, and I was stuffed. Also was very well air-conditioned there, I always gotta take my coat with me.

I've spent Valentine's Day with my nephew every year for the last 15 years. When he was a baby, he was my vday date while his parents spent their first night away from their newborn. It's been our tradition ever since. It's now become a funny story we tell people. But every year we still celebrate together. He's 15 years old and now in H.S, but he never fails to call and wish me a Happy Valentines Day or make me a handmade card. This year, he asked me to take him to Red Lobster. I got help from the hostess to have a special Valentines dessert brought out at the end of our meal. The server even wished us both a Happy Valentines Day even though it was 2/18. We had a great experience, and we ordered quite a bit and had plenty to take home. He wants to return next year and that's fine with me.

Consistently Good Service and Food We visited on a Friday evening at about 4:30 pm. This is in the Spectrum Marketplace in South Tucson. We enjoy going to Red Lobster and have visited many around the country. Fridays are always busy there and arriving before 5:00 usually ensures immediate seating. Plan to wait as you get closer to 6:00. Red Lobster has not escaped the staff shortage problem and thankfully, chooses to not fill their restaurants with diners when they are short of servers. This keeps the server:diner ratio in line with being able to provide consistently good attentive service. I applaud them for doing so. We were seated immediately in the consistently familiar and comfortable dining area. Beverages include fountain sodas, teas and full bar service. We kicked-off with the Hand-Breaded Calamari Starter. These came out quickly and were piping hot. A very large portion of lightly battered perfectly fried rings thicker than usual so they were more tasty, soft and tender with no rubber tire chewiness. Served with jalapeno ranch and marinara dipping sauces. Plenty here for 3-4 to share. For our meals, my wife opted for the Sesame-Soy Salmon Bowl and I chose the Shrimp and Lobster Tacos. The generous portion of soy-ginger glazed salmon was very flavorful. The brussels sprouts were halved and heavily caramelized, but not burned, and we think topped with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar. The sprouts and salmon were sprinkled with crunchy crispy fried onions. The spring mix salad was fresh with a light vinaigrette. Edamame and orzo rice were included, but were not anything special. My wife really enjoyed this bowl meal. My tacos were full size tacos on grilled corn tortillas with good amounts of lobster and shrimp. The seafood was accompanied with jalapeno slaw, pico de gallo, a tasty lime crema and fresh cilantro. I found that the breading and frying overpowered the flavor of the shrimp and lobster and when topped with all the other ingredients, I got a real good south of the border flavor in my mouth just missing the seafood flavors. I brought two tacos home for next days lunch. If we had not filled up as much on the calamari, we probably would not have brought home leftovers. The portions are always large, the service was excellent and the setting is comfortable. We will visit again, but I'll pass on the tacos.
