Abandoned Red Lobster - Beachwood, OH

[@breadfan68]

Your empathy for people is admirable...

[@JClaussen]

Thank you for being one of my favorite KZbin channels!

[@WallieB26]

Thank you very much for the kind words. I'm really glad you enjoy my work.

[@DylanW-z3o]

Thanks for saying that.

[@JacLyn777]

Same here. In my top 5 favorite channels for sure.

[@stars660]

45 years. Think of how many birthdays, graduations, prom dinners, and wedding proposals there were. I used to work at Red Lobster and loved being a part of these celebrations.

[@DeborahHines-z3q]

Thank you for this video. I used to work at this Red Lobster in Beachwood as a hostess when it first opened. I think it was 1977. So many memories.

[@NathanNelson-l1h]

It was built in 1983

[@NathanNelson-l1h]

And the address of it is 3655 Orange place Beachwood Ohio

[@DeborahHines-z3q]

I beg to differ on the year the Red Lobster location at 3655 Orange Place, Beachwood was built. My family moved to Beachwood in 1969 and we lived there for 33 yrs. I was in college and worked at that Red Lobster location part-time in the mid 1970's. It was brand new at that time.

[@joshuakacik9458]

I love your KZbin channel and all your content I love your stories and you bring a lot of character to your channel keep up the great work.

[@WallieB26]

Thank you very much for the kind words. I needed that right now.

[@jamesgarasiun5082]

Congratulations on 62k btw. You will be at 100k before you know it. Awesome KZbin channel !!!! 👍

[@holliepajak3772]

I love you do these videos. Red lobster was my dad’s restaurant choice for special family occasions. It makes me smile watching this video. Memory lane keeps me staying awesome.

[@CodyKloepfer]

Wallie! I’ve been a follower for several years now, I absolutely love and look forward to your regular uploads! I’ve been struggling the past month or so, more of a mental health sort of thing, so your uploads are a little bit of happiness in my daily life. It’s fun to consider the past when these abandoned buildings had activity when business was booming!

[@charlieadkins2231]

You don't deserve no thumbs down wallie. You're the coolest brother

[@jamesgarasiun5082]

Your first red lobster 🦞!!! Closest would be Joes Crab Shack in Robinson Township, Pennsylvania almost 7 years ago!!!! Remember that vid wallie? Was an awesome video you did!!! Thank u wall

[@sassysue6472]

You’re so right-many places now have no character. We don’t know what we’ve had till it’s gone, as the song says. I miss Kmart. It was comforting to me to go in a store that really hadn’t changed since I was a kid. And I’m with you. I am NOT a target fan. This red lobster looked like it was very nice-and big! Keep those videos coming.

[@JosephDirosario]

Congratulations on 62. Yeah, that was really cool. Thanks.

[@georgemount8320]

I enjoy all the videos. I know I said it in the past. Ty for what you do. Lot of places are gone now from years ago. Stay awesome

[@patrickbohn2099]

I worked for Red Lobster for 27 years....our location is holding on!!

[@lindamikel1842]

Nice Abandoned Red Robster I've not never seen Abandoned Places Before That's kinda Neet.

[@lindywheeler4192]

This is a really nice restaurant, I've been to this one several times. I was surprised when he said it closed. Hard to believe, I hope another franchise picks it up. Great location, lots of parking, beautiful building in and outside.

[@lindywheeler4192]

Thanks for all you do, especially for this video. It brought back memories for me. I had no idea it was closed.

[@keithshort688]

Wally, if you ever get the chance, check out the Red Lobster Restaurant that is abandoned on East Dublin Granville Road (State Route 161) east of Karl Road on the northeast side of Columbus, Ohio. It has been closed at this location for a year or so. And it has an older Red Lobster restaurant from the 1970's era right next door to where this current Red Lobster restaurant is closed. Thats two abandoned Red Lobster restaurants right next to each other at the same location that are closed.

[@benjaminmendenhall4497]

You are the greatest KZbin channel and you do great job on your videos and i love your being of your videos

[@Urban_nation.]

Wallie you make me laugh.I feel like red lobster is not that good like it used to be. So said to it closed for the people near it. Thanks for the video wallie I enjoyed I loved it like always.

[@douglascrawford5628]

I hope some Cheddar Bay Biscuits are in your very near future Wallie. Love your videos bro!

[@brandonb.6099]

I haven't seen a Red Lobster restaurant that looks like this one. I enjoy re watching videos of many of the abandoned places filmed on this channel.

[@RyGuy0520]

Lol they mostly look like this near me Parma, stow, mentor a few are newer like strongsville and north olmsted

[@danestegman155]

Good video! You don't see too many abandoned Red Lobster places! Looks like this place could open right up again!

[@Optopolis]

Not every day I see a Red Lobster close. I'll give them credit, their to-go is better now than a decade ago, at least at my location. I wish I could easily take a walk down my own form of memory lane sometimes. Many things I can say I regret not filming (or even, at least photographing) just for that reason.

[@KindredMixedBlade]

I remember last eating here in 2012, during my freshman year. We always preferred the one in Stow, as we lived in Twinsburg. I was wondering when it closed. Thank you.

[@michellebrown2107]

That Target used to be a Whole Foods! I’ll add to the thank you’s, I really enjoy these videos! I’m going to check out the Bahama Breeze one now. We used to go there with my grandparents wayyyyy back when!

[@jet34thehawk]

Awesome 👌 video

[@MrIceman22]

thanks for sharing this one wallie dont see much red lobster there bascuits are great. keep it up buddy.

[@vincentbitner2935]

I love your videos. Keep up the good work.

[@ologymositraxx8576]

Yo, that was pretty awesome. Thank you for doing that that brought back lots of memories. That is the place where my mom and dad took me the most for my birthdays as a child

[@timothycosgrove1385]

Thanks Wallie That was another great video.... I'm not 100% Surprised but that's the first Red Lobster I have seen , that's been abandoned... and it looks like all the other Red Lobsters.... I just know that they have gotten to be too expensive...

[@train2167]

Spirit Halloween Coming Back Beachwood, OH

[@12HpyPaws]

No Cheddar Biscuits for Wallie

[@elevatoralarmcoasterandarc1214]

You got it.

[@purl22]

Thank you for posting this video. I came here about 2 weeks before the announcement was made about the permanent closing. I hope the space becomes a nice vegan restaurant , now that it is available for lease.

[@jodywight3948]

We went to this Red Lobster and the ones in Euclid, Mentor and Ashtabula. Sadly only Mentor and Ashtabula are open and Euclid closed years ago!

[@hattieayers]

I just seen your video ,,my first time .... ..I JUST GOT SAY. I LOVE WHAT YOU'RE DOING..!!!WHAT ALL YOU'RE DONE..HERE..IM YOU'RE VIDEO SS..I JUST SUBSCRIBED TO t YOU'RE CHANNEL...THANK YOU ..ALL YOU'RE DOING. ..❤❤🎉🎉...😊😊

[@WallieB26]

Welcome aboard and thank you!

[@keypushinjackson3336]

Ive always loved ted lobster, even today! Every table you showed on camera my family and i sat at since i was a kid. Red lobster never went out of style to me. The service might have tanked and somewhat the quality but ive always loved that places

[@SherryPlatt]

They change menu after lock downs. Changed it alot.

[@adamsATSfan415]

Only other abandoned red lobster I seen on KZbin was the one mall aholic found in Indianapolis area.

[@DylanW-z3o]

I like the places you explore.

[@JerkVegas86]

Damn! I was just there last year!

[@tuckerhuff692]

There’s an abandoned Handels ice cream in West Mifflin PA next door to Long John Silvers/A&W

[@Sleeve_Did_It]

Not even a cheddar bay biscuit. 😢

[@diannelavoie5385]

There used to be a Red Lobster in North Dartmouth Massachusetts, a town neighboring New Bedford. They killed this location by bringing in their seafood from the outside when the biggest fishing port in the US was right there. Non-native seafood (King crab, for example) is one thing. But other kinds landed locally in large catches? New Bedford folks know their seafood, and by the time RL woke up, it was too late.

[@shawnlanders2034]

My brother lives in Cleveland, Ohio. I want to visit but I don't have the chance to. Maybe some day I will. Keep up the awesome video

[@shannonyoast6906]

As always great video 👍

[@reneerasul3347]

I remember when that Red Lobster first opened. People actually got dressed up to go! 🎉

[@mallaholicretailadventures]

I came across one in Indianapolis near Lafayette Square mall. But it was all boarded up. I do my channel for the same reasons that you do. I especially like the stories that people tell about the place and the memory jogging.

[@andreadeamon6419]

Loved Bahama breeze. Sad to know it closed. I'll have to look up where red lobster was (we don't eat sea food)

[@purplesquirrelgaming1465]

Hey Wally there's an abandoned quaker steak n lube that recently went out of business here in my town of Florence Kentucky. They were very pricy and I believe they closed at the beginning of 2024. You should definitely check it out.

[@The-Retail-Fandom]

Nice video Wallie! I love your videos! How is the bee friend by the way?

[@beverlymerkel6522]

I'm really surprised that this didn't make it and the Bahama Breeze. Maybe the demographics have changed in the surrounding area, especially since it got thru covid. Thanks for sharing, Wallie, I enjoy these videos.

[@GregTheMan]

Very cool video.

[@Tfan48]

The target use to be a Whole Foods before pinecrest was built. The McDonald’s has always been like that i believe it’s updated inside to look more current.

[@slackingpacking]

Those Red Lobster biscuits from the store taste nothing like the restaurant. Red lobster has good food. It’s better than Joe’s Crab Shack, however,I heard if you go to a seafood restaurant by the ocean it’s 100x times better.

[@alanlough638]

An awesome video, Wallie! I'm fatality allergic to all seafood, so I can't eat at seafood restaurants. I'm also fatality allergic to strawberries and bacon. I have the highest allergic reaction to these foods. So, I have to be very careful what restaurants that I can eat at.

[@elisa5441]

Hey Wallie love your vids, did you already the abandoned Days Inn in Elyria or is it not abandoned anymore? And the midway mall not far from it, I believe its abandoned too.

[@marthamack80]

I am back for my road for my trips 🤗

[@Allis1018]

Went to this red lobster as a kid with my parents. As others have said, i remember when people actually dressed up to go here. As time went on the clientele changed. People were getting robbed in the parking lot. The cops were there frequently for fights inside of the restaraunt and disorderly conduct. Its a shame because i do remember this when it was a flagship and very successful, but i would say for the last 20 years ir so it has struggled. You'd never guess being there during the day what it eould be like at night.

[@janiceclark2573]

Do the olive garden in Beachwood Ohio also do the Applebee's in Unvisity height's i miss that place

[@lindywheeler4192]

I was surprised that Olive Garden closed. It use to be so busy!

[@bti-ro2vh]

Bahama Breeze and Red Lobster were both owned by Darden at one point. Darden sold Red Lobster off in 2015ish.

[@rosiejosie6375]

Both Bahama Breeze & Red Lobster are owned by Darden resteraunt group. I worked this red lobster for 1 nt in 97/98 because they were so understaffed we were called in from the Ashtabula Red Lobster. One of the craziest worst nights of my life as a server!!! I had at least 2 tabkes dine & dash - the tips were crap anyway. Drove over an hour & worked 4 or 5 hrs through hell just to lose money.

[@alanparr3499]

Hey Wally,Our cats name is Wally. Lol

[@lashawntaerandle3472]

Erie! I remember this restaurant being filled with ppl

[@johnsanders4946]

The one we had in Garland Texas became a funeral home known as Eastgate funeral home.

[@controlcam820]

Our RL here in Florida closed when locals found out the seafood was farm raised & imported ,Yuck !!

[@TriciaGeorgakopoulos]

You should check out the abandoned red lobster in oakhurst New Jersey

[@westangelina6874]

Looks as if someone is occupying the place...for some cheddar bay biscuits 😅

[@BuffaloChicken]

Red Lobster is my favorite chain.

[@lisafreeman4222]

Awesome video

[@Milleniumlance]

The McDonald's in Independence is fancy too

[@ProGameTNT]

Red Lobster are rare but I have one down the shopping plaza

[@ErikVince]

Hey Wally isn't there one or two Kmart's left in the United States

[@kenlahmers9648]

I used to go there !!!

[@avgjoeavglife]

I don't think I've ever been to a Red Lobster.

[@DerWutendeMetzger]

When did this location close? I can't remember the last time I was at that location. I prefer the one in Mentor. Also, if you think that McDonalds was interesting, have you seen the one in Independence on the Corner of Rockside and Brecksville roads?

[@lindywheeler4192]

Yes, the one on Rockside is the most beautiful McDonalds I've ever seen. Its still open but it looks like it might of been some kind of office building. Stunning! Especially for a McDonalds. I would love for him to do this one.

[@TD_SportzYT]

if you ever get the chance you need to go to the abandoned Kroger in Lebanon Ohio

[@exploring_unleashed]

We actually sell frozen Cheddar Bay biscuits at the Weis where I work.

[@christiangonzales7429]

Pretty soon we are probably going to be seeing more of these abandoned. Red Lobster's future doesn't look so bright right now.

[@DawnMarie1976]

Wish you would come to jasper ga

[@zackcrh1182]

There is a place in west Hamlin wv Lincoln county uh there a Mexican restaurant that was a Hardee’s I wonder if you can check it out and look inside and stuff it still has the look at Hardee’s..

[@evolutiongirl321]

Did they save the lobsters?

[@gablings]

Love your videos Wallie. I went to this Red Lobster a few times when I was a lot younger, I only really remember the lobby though and looking at the tank of fresh lobsters. That Target at the end of the video is a small-format one, and is in a former Whole Foods, which is why it has a unique exterior.

[@ellishachaffin]

Why did they close

[@selyang647]

why did remove bench on one of the seats but kept the back and from that holds the

[@MlzB1rd]

Worst service I ever got was from here. No wonder. N Beechwood was a rich neighborhood

[@denisebrazile8339]

You should have went in the Target, it is small but nice.

[@danielfoster3642]

It's not very often that you'd find a closed Red Lobster. I guess this one wasn't successful.

[@RyGuy0520]

Thats definitely an old one looks alot like the ones in stow and parma

[@nick_stuff]

That target used to be a Whole Foods market

[@austinhowells20]

I never see a red lobster abandoned

[@danielhedrick5886]

Target and mcds are extremely different 😮

[@mirandavanzee6366]

cool

[@garywitkowski69]

What's in the box in your back seat? We wanna know!

[@lindywheeler4192]

Correction! You want to know. I was actually watching the video.😂😂😂

[@brentkiely657]

wallie i'm curious ... why do you wear a nostril ring ????

[@maine1cb]

Only one left is in Parma?

[@lindywheeler4192]

Did they close the ones in Mentor, Strongsville, North Olmsted, Cuyahoga Falls too? I thought they were still open.

[@jodywight3948]

Mentor is open

[@joanna7350]

Red Lobster isn't what it used to be.

[@JOHNJ0HN9111]

five kmarts are still alive.. and they have a website

[@Milleniumlance]

When my mom retired yeaaars ago we had her party here 😢

[@charlenedean4086]

There was once a time when you could almost guarantee you'll be a success, but not anymore. America, the greatest country seems to be getting shaky!
