I keep going back to Red Lobster and just keep being disappointed. The four half lobster tails and grilled shrimp dish from the TV commercial were a huge disappointment for $21.95; the tails and the shrimp are the size of your finger. New management says the four tails together are 3 to 4 oz’s before cooking, but when overcooked, the 1 ½ oz. half tails shrink to next to nothing. I felt jipped, but not as badly as the two previous visits when I just felt robbed. Those times I had the smallest King Crab and Snow Crab legs ever served in a restaurant. They were so small I thought they may actually be under legal size and should have been thrown back. None of these dishes are a fair value.

The lobster/crawfish pizza is always unbelievably good. This is a super treat, along with the best margaritas anywhere, and the Caesar salad is excellent, but everything else is all T.V. commercial and no meat. Where’s the fish!? The Springfield restaurant is actually being cut down in size because they are losing so many customers. Here’s why, where’s the fish?! So…

Expect this at Red Lobster:
Overly tiny portions at high prices, all TV commercial; some appetizers are worth it, but in general, quality has crashed, along with the kitchen. Go there for oysters on the half shell, lobster pizza, margaritas, live lobster, and all you can eat shrimp.

The Red Lobster is open 7 days for lunch and dinner. Directions and reservations can be made at 610-544-0315.
