About Red Lobster

Red Lobster is located at 479 Telegraph Rd, across from the Oakland County Court House in Waterford Township, Michigan. While the platform category is "Chinese Restaurant," Red Lobster is widely known as a seafood restaurant offering a variety of dishes including crab legs, lobster, shrimp, and steak.

Recent customer reviews indicate a range of experiences at this location. One customer reported enjoying the Cajun crab legs, describing them as fresh, juicy, and perfectly seasoned, and also praised the Brussels sprouts side. However, this same customer found the "ultimate feast" to be disappointing, with subpar steak and shrimp that were not worth the price. The stuffed mushrooms were also noted to be not as hot or juicy as expected, leading the reviewer to state they would only return for the crab legs.

Another customer shared a significantly negative experience. They described feeling unwelcome upon arrival, waiting ten minutes just to be acknowledged. The issues continued with filthy silverware and a spoiled-tasting virgin piña colada. The food quality was also heavily criticized, with complaints about old and soiled fish, dried-out shrimp, and a boiled, chewy, and undercooked lobster served instead of the requested grilled preparation. Additionally, a dirty rubber band was found attached to the crab legs. While acknowledging the waitress's efforts, this customer deemed the overall experience "absolutely awful" and not worth the nearly $140 spent, vowing never to return and advising others to avoid the restaurant.

Based on these recent reviews, it is evident that customer experiences at this Red Lobster location in Waterford Township vary significantly. While some dishes like the Cajun crab legs and Brussels sprouts have been well-received, there are serious concerns raised about the quality of other menu items and the level of service provided. Potential local users should consider these recent experiences when deciding whether to dine at this establishment.

I enjoyed the Cajun crab legs a lot more than I expected. It tasted fresh, juicy, and perfect amount of seasoning. Brussels sprouts side was also just as amazing and well cooked. However, the ultimate feast was rather disappointing because the steak and shrimp was rather subpar. Wouldn’t say it was worth the price. Stuffed mushrooms were not as hot nor juicy as I hoped… If I come back, it will only be for the crab legs.

I am beyond disappointed with my experience at Red Lobster. Last night, my siblings and I decided to reunite at what was once our favorite childhood restaurant, but from the moment we walked in, we felt unwelcome. We waited ten minutes just to be acknowledged. Once we were finally seated, things only got worse. Our silverware was filthy, and my sisters virgin piña colada tasted like spoiled milk. When our food arrived, it was clear we had wasted our time and money. My brother’s fish looked old and soiled, and the shrimp were completely dried out. I specifically requested a grilled lobster tail—something they’ve always done for me—but instead, I was served a boiled, chewy, and undercooked lobster. To top it off, my crab legs still had a dirty rubber band attached. Our waitress did his best, but the overall experience was absolutely awful. For such a well-known establishment, I expected much better. We spent nearly $140 on what was essentially garbage. I will never dine here again, and I’ll be warning everyone I know to stay far away.

If only someone was willing to wait on us… came here after baseball practice around 8:30 PM on a Saturday. As anyone can see, it was a rockin night with all the patrons in the place. Ring the doorbell to get someone to come seat you - very high class touch. If only it was a Ring camera so they could see you coming. So now we move to getting a booth, which was difficult to find with so many people there. Our hostess was nice and told us we would be waited on soon. Sitting in the bar area where the bar tender was hard at work… cleaning but not interested in serving anyone. In fact it was so clean that there were cleaning bottles all over the place, including right above our booth so for certain I can’t complain about it being clean. Unfortunately after 25 minutes of sitting there enjoying the atmosphere of watching the bar tender continue to clean, it dawned on me that no one had even come by our booth the entire time. Ironically it was at this point that someone came by asking the bartender who she was waiting on and she proceeded to say “I’m working the bar. I like it back here as it is so quiet.” She then disappeared to the back in her own little world. Well, I’m now at Fork N Pint enjoying live music, a cold beer and already have my order taken within 10 mins of being here. That is way too fast! What? Maybe they need lessons from Red Lobster on how to drive customers away. I can’t recommend this place overall unless you really want to hang out watching the UM/MSU basketball game while hoping to get serviced. Just a theory but this restaurant like most Red Lobsters have and they can only blame themselves. RIP Red Lobster. You were a class act about 20 years ago.
