I can see them getting a coveted Michelin star.

Damn, I was just at a Red Lobster this weekend and this was not on the menu. I suppose I will have to go back in the near future.

I'm thinking I might actually try this. But I've only been to RL maybe once in thirty years.

Ultimate feast baby.

My son begged to go to red lobster for years seeing their commercials. My wife took him once.


He now begs to never go there again.

They were once much better than they are now. Was surprised by the small portions last time I went 3-4 years back.

RL has good shell fish and appetizers....and of course cheese biscuits.

The rest...meh

 

[SeaPA]

I used to go to the original Red Lobster in Lakeland; probably was just my imagination, but it just seemed to be better than the rest. It's been gone for a long time now.

So Red Lo'ster is now drawing their menu from the State Fair circuit?

Don't know? I used to love going there as a kid when we lived out of state but living in Florida Red lobster just doesn't do it.

What got my son was how good it looked on TV. He didn't understand it wouldn't really be like that until he saw it with his own eyes.

They opened one up in NH years ago and it closed within 6 months, no one went, too many seafood restaurants up there that sell fresh sea food for the same price or less.

I've never been to one.

 

[travnole]

It is worth going at least once for the cheese biscuits alone.

 

[CC0492]

You don't have to go to Red Lobster for the biscuits. They sell the mix at Publix.

Based on that, he must not eat out anywhere because the pics of the meals on TV never look that good in person. Take burger commercials for example, it's false advertising and borderline fraud what they advertise vs. what they serve.

We used to stop at the Lobster when I was a kid because I think it was the only "seafood" place in Bakersfield, and I loved shrimp. Developed an allergy to shellfish in my early teens and haven't been back. But I might duplicate this meal for my daughter. She loves lobster. HEB usually has the cold water tails for $5 or less per tail.

It does feel like false advertising, but seems that advertisers are allowed to take more and more liberties these days. But I guess the position is, who really is confused about the gap these days? You know its going to be crap. Thats why you are there. You weren't really expecting Kobe beef were you...

Hell, Taco Bell isn't required to advertise the negative side effects of eating Taco Bell, but we require big pharma to list the risks (that unto itself is a stand alone discussion).

 

[FreeFlyNole]

I don't smoke weed, but if I did, the first thing I would do is go and eat this.

Most places we eat, other than fast food, don't have TV ads.

That's probably for the best.

I fell in love and married a Red Lobster waitress who severed our table in 1996. True Story.

 

[funksouljon]

haha, new screen name.

 

[LesClaypool]

Pffffff haha!

I hope this screen name lasts, whoever you are.

 

[SoddyNole]

 

[funksouljon]

I'd put that in my mouth.

 

[BucaNole]

Do I love me some red lobster. Great establishment. Can’t afford to go there all the time, but definitely my go to for anniversaries and birthdays.

Red Lobster did used to be upper scale dining. Its turrible now. As mentioned, the only redeeming item, cheddar biscuits, can either be replicated or buy the mix in stores.

Absolutely! Shout out to my home town. Red Barn anyone?

Uhh.......what?!? When was Red Lobster "Upper Scale" dining? Dammit. I musta had a coma amnesia that left coma amnesia to not remember.

When Macaroni Grill first came on the scene it was considered upper crust casual dining

Never liked the writing on the table. Carraba's is in that same boat.

 

[Formerly Rockymtnole]

This place cracks me up.
