First time to red lobster since I was a teenager so I guess you could say it was my first time because I don't remember anything about this place except the biscuits which are actually better from the box if you make your own at home.
I normally don't eat at chain restraints but since I've had my baby I've had to do things more accommodating and convenient with a new baby. Hence why this was an easy choice close to home.
We came in and while my boyfriend was carrying in the car seat naturally they opened the door for us. Very nice of them. We were seated right away and given some menus. Our server came over and started is on drinks. Explained the menu a bit. I like that the restaurant is dim so it was easy for my son to take a nap. I'm not much of a shellfish person so naturally j went to the land menu. I ordered the same thing as I did years ago which was the Cajun chicken Alfredo. My significant other ordered the shrimp.
I could tell my server hates his job. He seemed to even do a bad job at faking a somewhat friendly attitude. He brought us out some biscuits which like I said aren't that great but they're free and warm which I appreciate. The clam chowder was not that great. I think progreso makes a better one. Our food came out eventually and my pasta was ok. Nothing great or stand outish about it. Could have had more Cajun flavor if you're going to call it Cajun pasta and needed salt as it was kind of bland. The shrimp was served three ways. In a garlic butter sauce, fried and a shrimp with pasta Alfredo. The shrimp was a pretty alright as my boyfriend said which means it was ok. The Brussels sprouts were roasted to perfection and not very pinging like I'm used to. I'd say that was my favorite part of the meal. At least they got something right.
Not sure I'd visit again. Service wasn't that great and I'm not a seafood person anyway. 3 stars for overall experience. Nothing outstanding but it's a chain so what's really to be expected.
