Our waiter Carter was very friendly and attentive. The food was all good and no one in our party of 9 had any issues. The manager brought out a live lobster to show the 4 year old we had with us.

The Ames Red Lobster is one of the best ones in the area! We were promptly greeted and seated. Our server Austin came over right away to take our drink orders and see if we had any menu questions. The food came out extremely fast, and everything tasted very fresh and hot. Great food! Great service! Great experience! Especially for the price point.

I walked in and was immediately engulfed by the delicious smell of lobster and crab. the hostess, Megan was very sweet and gave us a really nice booth. Carter was awesome and gave us plenty of rolls and was very fast at giving refills. He was awesome and we had a great time. the shrimp and lobster linguini was really good I recommend that. 10/10

Rachael and Kim did a phenomenal job of hosting our large group and entertaining young kids! Including bringing out a live lobster to do tricks and for the kids to hold. Highly recommend them to anyone!!
