| - HYPE HYPE HYPE WHITE PEOPLE HYPE
That's all I knew about Red Lobster before going in. My friends have been talking about going to this place for agggggggges (they're really susceptible to marketing lol) so finally last week, we decided to go.
We got there around 7 on a Friday night, and this place was empty! There was like one other table there.
The first thing we noticed was the lobster tank...now I've seen lobster tanks before, but never have I seen a tank where they looked soo...unhappy.
Anyways, I look through the menu and saw that they had a 18.99 4 course feast...and I was like DAMN LETS DO IT!
So here's what we got:
1. Chicken Tortilla Soup - actually really good. Nice broth with LOTS of chicken and tortilla pieces. Totes warmed me up after coming in from ICE CUBE NATION.
2. Ceasar Salads - Standard fare, just parm, lettuce and croutons. No lemon on the side, but whatevs.
3. Spicy Habanero Coconut Shrimp Bites and Sweet Citrus-Grilled Shrimp (yea i just copied that from their menu) - I swapped out the rice for fries. The bites were SUUUUUUUUUPER sweet, and not my favourite. Tiny too. The Grilled Shrimp Skewer was mad overdone, and no hint of citrus at all. The coleslaw was super great though.
4. The Cheese-Crusted Tilapia - my friend henna got this. It looked like a small piece of fish hidden under a huge ass pile of tempura bits or something, served with brocolli. The brocs was good, the fish had no flavour whatsoever, and it was super over done + dry. Soz.
5. The Ultimate Surf and Turf (Lobsterfest special) - My 2nd friend Umair got this. This looked beautiful. A sirloin steak smothered in a lobster hollondaise with a lobster tail with a greenish cheesy sauce on it with mash. The steak was okay (my friend got it medium well, so its not their fault) The lobster on the steak was relaly really bad. It was super chewy, and it was like the worst bits that you get from the claws and the body. My friend pushed all that to the side. Even I didn't eat it. The lobster tail was super overdone too, and so hard to remove from the shell. The sauce on top was great though.
6. Shrimp Tuesdays - Garlic Shrimp, Handbreaded Shrimp, and Shrimp Linguine -My third friend got this. The garlic shrimp were swimming in some sort of watery-butter liquid. Not appetizing at all. The Handbreaded shrimp was yummy though. The Shrimp Linguini was just alfredo with some tiny shrimps on top. Super dissapointing.
7. The Key Lime Pie - I got this, and it was pretty delicious, standard fare though. Looks like it was premade.
8. The cookie-molten-pie thing. A huge ass cookie that spews chocolate when cracked into, with a scoop of vanilla. I was too full to try this, ut my friends say it was burnt or something. Looked yummy though.
Notes:
So the 4 course feast was not the est, but it was certainly a good deal.
The portion sizes here are huge for everything though. We ALL had leftovers, and we're all huuuuuuuuuge eaters. Well except Henna. She's tiny.
I did think all the other items were suuuuuuuuuper expensive, and not really worth it.
For tthe 4 of us, it came to 150 + tip, so yea
Pros wont be back here, it's too plain for my liking.
