★★★★★ 5.0 Katie Kroshka · Feb 2026

We had an absolutely wonderful experience at Red Lobster thanks to our server, Clifton. We were celebrating our son’s 10th birthday, and it was his very first time trying lobster. Clifton went above and beyond to make the experience truly magical and unforgettable. He was incredibly kind, attentive, and engaging, especially with our son—explaining the meal, making him feel special, and turning what could have been just a dinner into a core memory for our family. You can tell Clifton genuinely cares about his guests and takes pride in what he does. Because of him, this birthday celebration was extra special. Thank you, Clifton, for making our night so memorable—we’ll absolutely be back!

Great food, great service, great dinner. Food was delicious. Our server, Clifton, was excellent. He had our food ready and brought biscuits and drinks before we asked. He was friendly, helpful and very friendly. Even when he had to catchup with me, as I accidentally took the signed receipt with me. He was very nice about it though.

I recently had a wonderful dining experience at Red Lobster, and the food was absolutely delicious from start to finish. Everything was served fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The seafood was perfectly cooked and seasoned, and of course the warm Cheddar Bay Biscuits were a highlight of the meal. The atmosphere was welcoming and comfortable, making it a great place to relax and enjoy good company along with an excellent meal. What truly made the experience special, though, was the outstanding service. Our server, Cher, was incredibly kind, attentive, and professional throughout the entire visit. She made sure we had everything we needed, checked in with a smile, and created such a warm and friendly environment at our table. Her positive attitude and thoughtful service made the m

Amazing dinner tonight... We sat at a table in the bar.. Cher the bartender handles all drinks and all the tables in the bar area the same normal waitress/waiter duties and is a star!!! What makes Cher so special and a stand out is the following. Amazing personality, calm under pressure, even temperament, quality customer centeric, takes an order without writing it down and had 5 active tables, bar duties, which doubled as we were leaving.. She handled our order perfectly again without writing anything down you cannot match that and she never missed a thing. I've been in Human Resources my entire career for 30 years you must promote this person to a lead trainer or senior manger and Red Lobster 🦞 can be great in more locations. She has pride for what she does and I've never been disappoin
