Red Lobster - Southgate

During my recent visit, I purchased gift cards. I have been coming to this restaurant for about 32 years now. It used to be a regular dining spot for me. Upon returning post-Covid, one of the servers recognized me after many years. It was a pleasant surprise to see her again.

The Crispy Brussels Sprouts are fantastic and the clam chowder is consistently delicious. The clams are tender and there is no grit or shell in the soup. I have been very satisfied with everything I have tried at Red Lobster.

The shrimp and Brussels sprouts were served cold and tasted old. The new cheddar bay stuffing was unpleasant. Overall, I was highly disappointed with the meal. The shrimp was lacking sauce and appeared to be frozen.

The Lobster Baked Potato at The Creamy Lobster was smaller than expected and possibly overpriced. However, despite some dry bites towards the end, it was delicious. The Half Dozen Cheddar Bay Biscuits were exactly what I was craving.

I had a pleasant experience at this restaurant. The lobster I ordered was on the smaller side, but it was part of a lunch special so I wasn't too bothered. While it may not be the best seafood and steak I've ever had (since it is a chain restaurant), it was still decent. The service was incredibly friendly and made the overall dining experience enjoyable. The sauce on the brussels sprouts was unique, tasting similar to the sauce found in American Chinese dishes. Overall, I would recommend giving this restaurant a try.
