Any fans of this wonderful Seafood place? I like all seafood and Red Lobster is probally the best for that.
Anyways last night they had their all you can eat shrimp deal for $14.99. I had it and put away way more fried shrimp and scampi then I should of but it was well worth the price!
Though the intervals between more shrimp lasted longer than I like, say up to 15 minutes.
Any fans?
Love Red Lobster. I just wonder how long until there aren't any lobsters left in the oceans at those prices... =)
I'll have to check the shrimp out, because their shrimp scampi is fantastic... That garlic butter is so good...
and you Gotta love the pond of melted butter under the shrimp alfredo...
and you can't forget the Cheddar Bay Biscuits...
*drool*
I love Red Lobster. Their shrimp alfredo makes them the king of franchise restaurants.
Up yours Olive Garden!
An often overlooked place for edible quality (and not much more) combined with MASSIVE quantity. I love it.
During their last "endless bucket o' snow crab" special, even the waitress was starting to show a little surprise by the time she brought out my 4th bucket...
worst resturant ever.
But why, Tracer? Don't you like all your low-grade seafood (not matter what kind) either (1) slathered in butter and deep fried, or (2) slathered in butter and broiled, and served with more butter? ;)Quote:

I'm not a big fan of the fried shrimp. It's like oooh.. bater... hmm.... :\
satueed though.. Yes.
do they have good mushroom bugers or am I confused?
I love the place, cheddar biscuits and Caesar salad before the meal rule :)
Wow, they have their all you can eat shrimp special going on again? Hmmm...in that case I'd probably better stay away. Cholesterol city :D
Seafood = about as gross as red meat, to me, mech less from Red Lobster.
Only redeeming quality: Cheezie biscuits and their decent salads :D
Red Lobster is the perfect place to take a date for an affordable resturant meal. Its not exactly a high class resturant, but its satisfying enough. Plus I love seafood... and you can't go wrong with the Admiral's Feast. :)
The biscuts and Ceasar salad are indeed very good at Red Lobster. Plus their Fudge Overboard is the best Ice Cream topped brownie I've ever had at a resturant.
Eh, not exactly the best seafood place. There are much better, but unless you live by the ocean good luck finding one.
The best thing they have is the fondue appetizer. Check it out.
the Ultimate Fondue is awesome...
i had it and a bowl of gumbo as my meal one time...
I despise Red Lobster. The food is okay, but the portions are too small and the prices are too high given the small portions.
You are obviously ordering the wrong things then Jeremy.
That would probably be it, although I haven't been to one in about a year, so maybe things have changed a bit.
Better than Long John Silver's at least.
i could understand saying that they have small portions if you got fish or something, but their pasta dishes are friggin' mountains
i've NEVER left Red Lobster hungry (i usually waddle five stores down the strip mall to Funcoland)
I love Red Lobster... but the weird thing is I don't go there for the seafood (I actually do NOT like seafood except fish).
Their cheddar biscuits and caesar salad are always what I have before my regular meal. For my meal I usually get the alfredo pasta and give all the shrimp/crab to my family while I eat the pasta. I also like their hawaiin chicken and their chicken tenders. And the Fudge Overboard is amazingly. Damn... I am craving some non-seafood Red Lobster meals right now...
And yeah, I'm always WAY too stuffed after every meal...
Admirals Feast? Bah, you mean the ULTIMATE FEAST!
I eat there about once a month. I stole their cheesy biscuit recipe and I make those every once in awhile. Mmmm....cheese.....
i could eat any type of food right now - there's no food here and i'm damn hungry! argghh....!!!
ultimate feast is where it's at. don't mind red lobster at all, but it sucks that everytime i go the waiting time is forever. nevermind that they have tons of empty seating available. good place to eat every once in a while though, i might suggest it for dinner on tuesday.
Eh, I've never been to these places...I'd just worry about how inexpensive the seafood is, whether they're saving cash on refrigeration or something.
We've got a lot of really great seafood restaurants at home (CT) - maybe that's why I don't really ever see Red Lobsters.
I wouldn't say it's cheap seafood. The Ultimate Feast is about 22 bucks.
I thought that was for like, 10 pounds of shellfish though?
Steak & Ale > Red Lobster.
heck... Denny's > Red Lobster :|
ºTracer
Hell, now I'm all hungry. Although I should've expected that clicking on a thread about food, but there aren't too many places open at 3:55am Sunday. Monday. Whatever.Quote:

Denny's sucks ass. Although their grilled cheese sandwiches are good.
The only redeeming value of Denny's is that they stay open late at night. Otherwise, I can put food in my fridge, leave it there for ten days unrefrigerated and it would taste better than Denny's. :)Quote:

Why would you ever buy a grilled cheese sandwich at a resteraunt. It's not like they're some complex thing that only they can get right.Quote:

With that worthy addition to this discussion, I'll see myself back to the 'veggies thread.

thats true - but when you're mad hungry at need a place to hangout for a little bit at night Denny's serves its purpose - the food is not gourmet quality but it suffices to feed the beasts within. IHOP is a fancier denny's with better food.
So you've been eating poop? I have not idea what poop tastes like myself.Quote:

Red Lobster is fairly uninspiring quality-wise, I've only been there about three times if I remember correctly but those were long ago and obviously nothing made me come back. Perhaps they've changed recently - who knows?
I think that the main reason I'm put off by that restaurant and other places like that (which are even more obnoxious - such as Joe's Crab Shacks here in Houston, Texas) is because of the fact that they are always super-crowded. I'm not one for "sport-eating" in arenas such as those and prefer quieter, less crowded and more subtler restuarant experiences... "We'll take that table in the dark corner please, yes...the one with the cobwebs."
I should go home, and unfreeze some shrimp for dinner :) Tasty :p
Well, you're just a big...big mean jerkface!Quote:

I'm sorry Despair, I just couldn't do it...
Heh, or you mean take them out of the plastic bag which is sealed within the cardboard box that tells you to "bake at 400 degrees for 25-30 minutes!Quote:

Naah, I'm too lazy to cook them myself, so we buy the cooked ones :)
They taste good :) With spicy seafood coctail.
Heh, it's funny this thread came up. Some friends and I went last Sat. night to the Red Lobster here in town, a place I rarely go. I'm with those that don't like seafood, so I got the Cajun chicken linguini. It was awesome, and huge. And the cheese biscuits... just lovely.
Nice salad, too. :)
what are these cheese bicuits people speak of?
They are soft on the inside, crisp on the outside, with a hint of garlic and cheddar all over. They are SO so good....
yum sounding - I might go and check them out.
never been to red lobster.. But man do i love shrimp... ummmm...shrimp...
I don't know what you guys are talking about, Red Lobster kicks ass.
*dips entire lobster tail into butter sauce and dives in*
Mmmamhfewammmmmm....I mwike wobster!
Weren't you buying the Ultimate Feast everyday at one time to go or something? it was cold though.Quote:

I made a good Goa-type shrimp curry last night. Very tasty, good cold over eggs, too.
what are Goa-type curries anyway?
What kind is Goa-type?
:wtf: :lol:Quote:

Cheese bisquits are soooooo good.
Actually my favorite seasfood dish was at another restaurant (who's name escapes me) but it was lobster gnocchi's... Oh man.. potato dumplings tossed with butter and lobster... :o
How did you know that I once ate 1 ultimate feast a day for an entire week? :confused:Quote:

I probably won't keep up with this thread, but felt I should share anyway... I live in New England, so there is no need for me to go to a chain of seafood places such as this. There are locally owned places all over the place near me that have much fresher food that tastes better, and is generally around the same price or cheaper. Sure, they don't have any of the "all you can eat" specials, but I generally am perfectly happy with the portions I am given. While offtopic, I'd also like to mention that the same goes for pizza... I never eat pizza from dominoes, pizza hut, etc, because there are pizza places at every corner (sometimes more than one) that taste MUCH better. Anyway, just my two cents, that I'm sure no one cares about since I'm not that known on this board.
Maybe you should send me some food to taste and judge. I would definately start caring then.
as far as pizza goes - 9 times out of 10 a indie pizza restuarant is likely to kick the shite out of pizza hut and dominoes - such as Franks Pizza here in Houston - best pizza I've ever had.
I have my waysQuote:

Yeah, that's true. There are great little pizza joints all over Dallas, Brother's Pizza, which I've been going to since I was a little kid, has the best NY-style pizza in the city. There's this little Italian/Greek cafe in Medica City Dallas, a hospital of all places, that serves some downright tasty pizzas with loads of cheese. :)Quote:

Hell, I even dig Mr. Gatti's pizza more than Pizza Hut/Dominoe's. I love the grated cheese w/ spices packets that come with their pizzas, make them taste even better, and they're quite good to begin with :D
psh... everyone knows pizzeria pizza is FAR superior to Pizza Hut/Dominoes and to a lesser extent Papa Johns...
Pizzeria's also usually have some awesome strombolis and calzones
We used to have Brothers pizza down here in houston close to where i live - they were great as well with awesome thin big ass slices in a pizza over the counter type atmosphere - but then they sold out and moved to a more family oriented part of town (Katy) and opened up a family oriented restaurant and their pizza got shitty!
Franks Pizza and New York Pizzeria in Houston own!
I actually prefer to make my own pizzas, but there's no denying that Pizza Hut/Papa Johns can turn out some excellent pies at times.
only when you're extremely hungry do those pizzas taste good imo.
Chicago deep dish pizza destroys all pizza - pizzeria, frozen, delivery or otherwise.
