"Horrible stale food overcooked shrimp horribly slow service servers are smart mouth avoid going here?.. February 2nd my husband and I he a 73 year old veteran and myself self employed. My husband wanted to go to red lobster had a craving for fish he is a country boy at heart. Now our server was male he was very helpful and cheerful he also stated he was a new employee a young man I assume to be in between my sons ages 27 and 21, my husband and I knew what we wanted just not how to order it, the server helped a lot with making our decision, if he was my son I?d be proud. Now the restaurant at that time was staffed with other ppl in his age group or younger, The fish my husband ordered was more bread than fish, my salmon tasted previously frozen looked cheap, my broccoli and rice undercooked hard no flavor. My shrimp looked as if it had been deep fried several times the pieces so small I wondered if they just gave me table scraps, wait when being seated the table next two my husband and I was seated two extreme loud and obviously intoxicated visibly aged woman, the first 15 mins we had to endure high pitched noises no one asked them to at least quiet down, finally they left visibly intoxicated. Not wanting to complain I ordered desert to stay here?s when our waiter snubbed me I ordered my desert my waiter walks off towards an area on the other side of the bar I assume the kitchen another table?s seated in his section he came out of the kitchen minus my cake took this tables order laughed joked went got the tables drinks continued to chat some more. Now over in the kitchen area bar area this is when I become aware that the staffers are all immature kids not team players 3 just standing there no one took the initiative to help . I can hear giggling and laughing. Finally my desert arrives , lost all taste for it ! telling my husband I?m ready to go , he goes to bathroom leaves me the wallet try for five mins to get staffs attention gentle everyone is ignoring me so finally get up go to bar simply state I?d like to pay my bill and can no longer wait little girl at the bar said something condescending in a mocking tone. To be honest knowing ppl she got it from her mother, cause when the little girl scrunched up her face thinking it was cute she aged herself, I told her she should work on her personality cause her looks won?t help. At this time my server was coming from the back I handed him the money and left oh the restaurant had a total of four table occupied and one curbside, it was not busy enough to warrant any wait! Now I?m happy I?m not who I used to be aging has mellowed me out. It?s not the staffs fault it?s managements and the franchise fault! I had stale, undercooked, freezer burned food because there is no standard no pride no respect!We don?t need red lobster nor did we really want red lobster and red lobster doesn?t need or want our business. my husband went through a lot to get what he?s got his money pays fo"

"Thanks again for a great dining experience as always and I was happy to share a dinner here with my family. I am a frequent patron of Red Robin with my girlfriend but it was my brother's birthday and he was planning on going to Texas Roadhouse. Upon entering Texas Roadhouse, I was immediately insulted and embarrassed by their staff as well as management for my inability to put a covering over my face. After being offered the ability to wait outside in the icy February winter with my 70 year old father as well as with the rest of my family, I told them we will be taking our money elsewhere. Shame on them. I quickly suggested Red Robin and everyone perked up and almost immediately forgot about the insulting ordeal we had just experienced. I assured them that I have never had a problem at Red Robin and the reliable staff was more than happy to seat our party of 7 without any issues at all. I think outside of having the best burger and sandwich combos in town, Red Robin also has the best drink options by far. My brother agrees with me that you guys make the best house margarita as well! Keep it up because it is the gold standard. Our server, Manal I believe it was, deserved every bit of the 50% gratuity. She was awesome and she kept everyone full and happy. As a loyal Red Robin customer, I'm glad you guys were able to impress my family and save the day after Texas Roadhouse tried to ruin it. I'm happy to patronize a business that values its customers and their freedom over virtue signaling. Keep up the great work everyone."

"we came for a fast lunch Sunday, 6/19/22 and consulted the menu board in front of the door. this menu was extensive that included brunch. when entering and sitting, we were provided menus, but no brunch menu was available (maybe brunch wasn't on Sunday?...bit did not go outside to check again...not crazy, lol.) the waitress said, we no longer ordered the regular menu, no problem; the regular menu was sufficient in the choice. our appetizer was calamari. the quid was tender and seemed fresh, but the crushed gooey and tasteless, and the oil tasted quite old. odd, since in the rule the problem with this article is badly squirting. they just ruined a good ingredient. a fried fish sandwich had a very generous part of the baked fish, whose edges were very chewing, almost smiling, lol. the inside of the fish part was good, but the burnt teig pulled off the taste. our hamburger was in order, but not good as five guys (for example, the bungalow was ice-cold), but unfortunately we went here instead of five guys hoping for a slightly increased culinary experience. the French pommes were very strange. about 20% were joined together. not sure why that was, but I have experienced such dinge while cooking old frozen pommes at home. their drinks were good and generous, grateful. this was our second time there, with the first visit before-COVID and actually quite good. I hope it was just a free day because it is a comfortable room with nice people."
