Is RED LOBSTER Still The Great Seafood Restaurant You Remember?

[@swnagas2468]

One of the things I love about you guys is that you never look down your nose at places that are "less than" fine dining. And we know you guys could be really critical, but instead, you always choose to be kind, yet truthful.

[@mikeymutual5489]

Yes, they could be critical and actually helpful to people, but instead they always just say that everything is great, so the simpletons who watch them feel good. So happy you like being talked down to!

[@billandlisa]

@sw. Thanks for you comment. As you know, taste is subjective. What tastes good to us may not be good to someone else, and vice versa. One of the reasons why we encourage our viewers to try a dish (or place) for themselves. Thanks for watching!

[@mikeymutual5489]

@@billandlisa Except that we would really like to know what tastes good to you and what doesn't! Why don't you treat us like adults and be honest and trust us to make our own opinions? Sad.

Wow! You guys would make great food judges or something like that! Or chefs! You guys have the energy!

I’m 49 years old and have been going to Red Lobster since the 80’s. I just love it! It’s one of my all time favorite restaurants. Especially during lobster fest.

[@jamesbrown-gx7ip]

i love red lobster as a special occasional restaurant to go to...the biscuits are great....i like the scampi , salad and cheese sticks....we have a good one in vestavia alabama...

[@lorihayward-jernigan3543]

My son gave us a gift card for Red lobster and we went and had endless shrimp. My favorite is the coconut shrimp with pineapple sauce, the scampi is really great too. But the grilled shrimp was way too dry. Love your videos❤ God bless y'all 💞

[@billandlisa]

Thanks so much!

It's been about 10 years since I went to Red Lobster. It used to be affordable enough that I could take my 5 children and my parents and not break the bank. The biscuits are #1 but my favorite was the frozen strawberry daiquiri.

LOL..We have one about 3 miles from our house. Fire up the Way Back Machine!! Can't remember the last time we've been to it. But i know it's like a time warp! and while other places go bankrupt and close all their locations, this place (and Olive Garden) just keep plugging along!!

[@nocturna1964]

Hi Lisa and Bill! Yaaaay Red Lobster! One of the few chain restaurants I truly love. My local location is one of the few restaurants where the quality remains high. My only complaint is the communal parking lot my location shares with several other restaurants. I sometimes need to park at the mall across the street! Suggestions for this series: Black Angus and Outback!

[@billandlisa]

Thanks for the suggestions!

We use to frequent Red Lobster quite a bit back in the 80s and 90s. I think the last time I’ve been was 2016. Always loved it. You’ve triggered me to visit again Bill and Lisa! Looked like a delicious meal! Thank you!

[@serenity8901]

I dined in and food was ok. A week later I ordered to-go and food was amazing. Depends on the cook etc.. but I hate living in an area where many restaurants are inconsistent.

[@yvonneacosta2539]

We love Red Lobster.🦞 During COVID we ordered it to go alot and the cheddar bay biscuits are included, 2 per entree. Never had brussel sprouts but after watching you order them at Joe's in Las Vegas had to try them, so when Red Lobster put them on their menu I ordered it. It's now my fav side to order. The Ultimate Feast is one of my favs. It is $39.99 in El Paso so guess I shouldn't complain about the price after seeing your bill.😂 Thanks for reviewing.

[@missybaker1608]

My nostalgic memory is,when my Dad took me to Red Lobster for my high school graduation dinner. 1982. Mom did not like FISH OR SEAFOOD. SHE HAD VERY BAD EXPERIENCE in her teenage years so she never ate it again. I had surf n turf with filet and they had never ending shrimp then plus green beans, mashed potatoes and of course cheddar bay biscuits. Dad had a seafood dinner fish(cod), fried shrimp, scallops, and shrimp scampi think he had mashed potatoes, brussel sprouts and of course the biscuits! We were both full so no dessert. But that was a wonderful moment talking to him about the future. Wish mom there but...

[@billandlisa]

Happy it brought back some good memories. Thanks for sharing.

Hello Bill&Lisa I enjoyed your video again. I am not really a fish eater and I only like salmon. The way you explain how lobster and crab tastes makes me almost taste it. You are among the real proffecials when it comes to food Thank you and love from the Netherlands🥰🥰

[@billandlisa]

We appreciate that. Thank you!

[@JoshRachael]

Seems like it has been forever since either of us have been to Red Lobster. It's unfortunate that a lot of chains get a bad wrap - that looked good. You know Olive Garden needs to be the next one guys!

[@billandlisa]

So true on these big chains getting bad wraps, probably because we’re all becoming more of a foodie culture, but lots of people still go. lol We like OG! Maybe we will! 🤣🤣🤣

Dining in yrs ago some young workers would never give them to customers. When I asked about it recently I was told always request it if waiter doesn’t bring it. I shouldn’t have to but it’s 2023, I expect nothing more especially in my area.
