Red Lobster

The 2nd time I go to Red Lobster and still No improvement! The hostess at the front tells me "It's gonna be about a 10 min wait for a table." I clearly see at least 8 to 10 tables EMPTY. The hostess then says she has to look for a waiter is the reason why. I then ask for a supervisor in which a waiter comes and says he will seat me. Ricky I have to say was ok as a server however, I'd rate a 6 from 10. First thing I noticed was the clogged up toilet in the ladies room. I informed Ricky of this and what was done was a sigh on the door reading (Out of order). The utensils given to me were very dirty/caked. Yuck!. One table of 6 people were next to my table and took off due to NOONE attending them. Even to get the drinks to a table took about 10 mins or longer. Is Red Lobster short staffed?! I'm posting pics of HOW MANY EMPTY tables are available yet people are still having to wait 10 mins or more to be seated??!. I would not recommend Red Lobstet at all. I get faster/better service at a food/hot dog spot. Please see pics for nasty fork and restrooms. You can tell those restrooms are not cleaned up after shifts.

Was drawn in for the Crispy Cod Sandwich. Looked awesome in the pictures and had been craving a good fish sandwich. Major disappointment. I understand the pictures on the menu and on advertising are doctored to get the best side of food but my plate looked nothing like the picture. I was still ok let see about taste. Tore off a piece of cod, it was not crunchy, it felt rubbery and overcooked. Took a bite of the sandwich as a whole and It was like taking a bite of a void. No flavor from anything. Like drifting in a sea of blandness nothing in the horizon to look forward to. First meal I did not finish. Definitely do not recommend.

Food was delicious at a fair price. But I can only give it 4 stars because the combination of the waiter taking a ridiculous long time to check up us, plus the food taking a very long time come out as well, made us spend about 2 hours at the restaurant eventhough the restaurant was only at about 33% capacity. We had to ask for the bill after waiting 11 minutes from the time we asked for the dessert menu till the time the waiter came back to take the order.

I love the lobster tail and Walt's shrimp. Sometimes the staff takes a while to notice you need a refill on your drink but I'm sure they're short-staffed like most places are right now. They're quick, polite, and knowledgeable. As for the resturant, some areas really need a remodel or repair. You can see some wooden panels at a few booths are broken, detached, and may need a good wipe down which can be a bit off putting and the main reason for my four star rating.
