| - I haven't been to a Red Lobster in years! I wanted to take my mom out for a birthday lunch, and she wanted some seafood so we trucked on down to Red Lobster by Chinook mall!
The decor was a little dated- and the server had mentioned that the roof had recently caved in due to water damage. So they should definitely do some updating in here. However, it had the fun decor typical of a Red Lobster, an lots of comfy booths, so we were fine with that.
Our server wasn't overly friendly and was obviously pushing us to purchase more, which kind of rubbed me the wrong way from the get-go. The food came out quickly though, and she kept our waters full. We ordered some appetizers- the coconut shrimp, calamari, stuffed mushrooms, and another type of breaded shrimp. My mom has a severe pineapple allergy, and they were great about letting the kitchen know.
I found the meal to be really greasy- but hey, all we ordered were fried appetizers! I kind of wish there were some veggies on the side or something, but not all places do that with their fried apples.
The coconut shrimp was delicious, but the calamari was meh and the other fried shrimp needed a funner dip.
Overall, it was kind of a "meh" experience. I think it'll be a few years before I check out a Red Lobster again.
