Red Lobster - Joplin

I hadn’t visited Red Lobster in quite some time, and I was pleasantly surprised by the necessary improvements that have been made. The menu has undergone a significant and positive transformation, offering many enticing new dishes. The coconut shrimp was incredibly delicious. The service was excellent, and the staff did a great job. However, the interior hasn’t changed much; it could use a bit of a refresh. Overall, it was a good meal and a lovely evening.

The staff was wonderful, and we didn’t have to wait long, even on a Saturday night. I ordered the shrimp and coconut fritters. The photos show the Seafarers Platter appetizer and the spinach artichoke lobster dip. Everything was cooked perfectly, and we enjoyed another fantastic visit.

If you're looking for a quick meal and don't mind spending a bit, this is the place to stop. Our server was extremely fast and attentive, managing everything impeccably. However, the charcuterie was overpriced, featuring only a few leaves of salad and some small cuts of meat. We also found that the usually amazing cookies didn't have the wow factor we expected. With all the changes happening in the world, I suppose we just need to adapt. Overall, we always have a good experience at Red Lobster every time we visit.

We had fantastic service from a young man called alex. we ordered various types of seafood and everything was excellent. the only thing I wouldn't give 5 stars was my friend's margarita. it tasted like they forgot to enter the mix. it was very strong. otherwise it was a great culinary experience! food: 5/5

I did not eat in about 35 years at this place and since it is only a few minutes walk away from my apartment, I thought I would try. it was a disappointing experience. the outer was updated in the last few years, but the inner is exactly the same as I remember that it was when I was 12. it's like a cave. it was extremely dark inside, though I went to lunch. there is no natural light, and the artificial light was not sufficient to me. the waiting and host staff wore all black uniforms, slacks and long sleeve buttons downs, and as a former server I felt regret for them. they looked uncomfortable and unhappy. I ordered garnelen sampi, from the lunch menu, and it came with my choice of two sides. my Caesar salad was good, with beautiful fresh greens and real parmesan flakes. when my server was sitting in front of me, I was surprised as I expected a pasta dish. what I got instead was a beautiful part of sauteed garnelen in butter sauce, accompanied by the brokkoli I chose. I said more to me than my waitress, asked me where the pasta was. she informed me that if I wanted pasta, I should have ordered the Linguine alfredo. I was not upset and disassembled it to my ignorance of the menu. the garnels were boiled properly but had little taste, but the brokkoli was surprisingly good. my server was friendly and has made a nice job. she went beyond and beyond to make sure that I was satisfied by initiating the chefs to make the court I thought I was ordered, and surprised me by eating it before me about halfway through my lunch. there is a local restaurant that has tasty garnel sampi, and I use it as a gold standard that I can compare with. the red lobsters version reminded me of a microwave-free dinner. it was bland and boring, and certainly not worth the $16.49 I paid for it. I'll never dinate there again unless the comany gets an A game as a whole. I gave him only a three-star review because of the helpful, friendly server and hostess. red lobster, this is your more vigilant call that goes out of my common!
