Disclosure: I received a gift card to Red Lobster in exchange for a review. The opinions are all 100% my own and may differ from yours.
I received a Red Lobster gift card a while back, and I have never been there before. I know it sounds crazy that I have never been to Red Lobster before. I was really excited to receive the gift card so I could take my father and my daughters out to eat there. I thought this was the perfect chance to take my father out because I know how much he enjoys Red Lobster. Of course I wanted to go since I’ve never been there. I was extremely excited to try out their food. My daughters love going out to restaurants, so they were excited as well.
I’ve heard that Red Lobster always gives everyone the cheddar bay biscuits after they place their orders. I love it when restaurants give you something before your food comes out. These biscuits were amazing too! I would go back just for the biscuits. I couldn’t believe how delicious they were. It’s no wonder everyone is always talking so highly of them.
My daughters were excited to go to Red Lobster. They always love when restaurants bring out kids menus with activities on them along with crayons. This always keeps them very busy while waiting for their food. Sometimes they can be impatient, so this helps out a lot.
I decided to get the Chicken Alfredo and it came with a salad. I got the Caesar salad. It was very delicious and I really loved the croutons. Not everyone gives you croutons with your salad. I love it when they do that.
The Parmesan Crusted Chicken Alfredo was very different from what I’m use to eating. This came with corkscrew pasta and fresh broccoli. I thought this was good. The crusted part made it so much more different than what I normally eat. I thought that was actually good and I really loved that they had broccoli with it too. I don’t usually add broccoli, but I will sometimes. It’s always nice to have veggies added to your meal. That way I’m getting my veggies in each day too.
My father got Admiral’s Feast. This came with Walt’s Favorite Shrimp, bay scallops, clam strips and wild-caught flounder, all fried to a golden brown. He also got to choose the side dish to go with it. He went with some mashed potatoes. My father said he loved everything on his plate. I even tried some of it and it was really good. I normally don’t each much for seafood except for fish. I was surprised that I really enjoyed some of the food off his plate.
My daughters both got the grilled chicken. My youngest got hers with broccoli and my oldest got orange slices with hers. My youngest daughter Tesla loves grilled chicken. Every time we go out to a nice restaurant, she always orders grilled chicken. She definitely ate hers up quickly. My oldest Mercades got hers so that she could give it to Tesla. She can be picky with food. She loves Chicken Alfredo, so we shared my food.
My father and daughter Mercades wanted to get a photo taken, so I took one of them. This was right after they received their food. Mercades was very excited to try out some of the food. She loves fruits and veggies, so she dug right in to her orange slices right away.
Everything was very good and the service was great as well. We were very impressed with everything. After we finished eating and paying for our meal, we decided to sit outside for a while.
They had some nice benches to sit on outside, so everyone decided to sit there and just relax. It was nice to get outside for some fresh air after eating.
We saw a nice water fountain, so my daughters went down to sit by it so they could see it. We even caught a rainbow!
We had a great experience at Red Lobster. We would all definitely go again. In fact, we can’t wait til we can go again. I know there is a lot more food that I’d love to try out there. Have you ever been to Red Lobster? If so, what’s your favorite dish?

I haven’t been to Red Lobster in years. I miss it, and need to head there soon. Those biscuits are seriously the best!

They really are. I can’t believe I waited all these years to go!
Thanks for sharing your story. Who doesn’t love Red Lobster. The chicken alfredo looks delish.
Right! I couldn’t believe that was the first time I went. I should have gone years ago.
I think I could make a meal just out of those biscuits! I have a similar recipe at home that we love to make all the time! I have not been to Red Lobster in years, we should check them out.
They’re so good! I see they have the mixes at some stores too. I need to get some of those because the biscuits are delicious!
That looked like a fun outing for you, your dad and your girls. My kids aren’t into seafood OR chicken, so it Red Lobster isn’t the place for them. But I LOVE seafood, so I’d go for the shrimp and scallops!
My girls can be picky as well. I’m just glad they have other options besides seafood too.
Those biscuits are amazing!! Red Lobster is such a great family dinner place.
It certainly is! I can’t believe I have never tried the biscuits before. I’m so glad I’ve finally gone to Red Lobster!
Everything looks delicious. I have to check if there is a Red Lobster near us.
I hope you’ve got one near you. The biscuits are so amazing!
Those biscuits! Yum! I haven’t been to Red Lobster in about 10 years, isn’t that crazy? I need to visit SOON. Your dinner looks fantastic!
Not to crazy considering I just went for the first time. I can’t believe I waited so long. Those biscuits are so good.
This food looks so delicious. I have not been to Red Lobster for years. A gift card from there would be a great Christmas gift.
It sure would! I really loved the biscuits. They were my favorite.
Red Lobster is a great place to eat! Their biscuits are one of my favorites!
I agree! I love the biscuits.
Those foods are yummy, mouth watering. I would like to visit there soon.
I hope you have the chance to go soon. They have some great food!
I love Red Lobster. We recently got one here in Baton Rouge and the food is always so good.
That’s great to hear. It’s always fun when a new restaurant comes to town.
Looks like your family had a wonderful day at this restaurant. The food photos are particularly amazing.
Thanks! We did have a lot of fun. It was nice to take my father out for dinner.
I have always wanted to try those cheddar biscuits everyone talks about! Someday I will visit our CT location.
You’ll have to let me know what you think of them when you try them out. They’re so good!
Mmmm Red Lobster is such a great place! We love their Endless Shrimp they have every year
Glad to hear you love them too. I love that they have a great deal like that!
There’s so many restaurants around that you never know what good ones you haven’t tried yet unless you venture out and actually try them!
I completely agree. There are tons out there I’d love to try. I’m glad I was finally able to go to Red Lobster!
