Red Lobster - Brea

I invited family to eat here 4 Memorial Day 2022. We were disappointed when we arrived, we were told that they only had three servers and the waiting time was a few hours they could not tell us exactly how many hours. I understand times are different today than they were two years ago but I tried to avoid this by calling a day in advance and giving them notice. I can't rate the food because we didn't stay for the long wait. Perhaps their food is very good here, I would like to find out and give them another opportunity at a different time. Hopefully you'll have a pleasant dining experience and will post something positive about this location that will convince me to come back soon.

Worst curbside service! Waited more than an hour past my time for pick up and apparently they were waiting for biscuits. Food was extremely cold when it arrived and was definitely not worth the wait. Guess for those of us being courteous and keeping our germs away from others would have been better off going in the restaurant to receive mediocre food table side instead. Where did service and good food go!

Used to go here for 2 lb of snow crab. Now that $30 meal costs $60. One and a half pounds just isn't enough to fill up so you buy a bunch of extras and hope for the best. The Lobster Dip was a great appetizer. My son got all you can eat shrimp but after the first round decided it was just too salty and just didn't want to eat anything else there at all. I'm sure for three of us it was well over $100 in considering we had to individually ask for every thing at the table the experience this time was overpriced. I'm less impressed every time we go so I can't imagine we'll be going back anytime soon. Maybe they'll get a management facelift and turn over a new Leaf but for the prices, it should have been better.

The food is good, typical Red Lobster. Getting drinks is difficult. During are last few visits, it takes forever to get our drinks. There never seems to be a bartender and when someone does start making drinks, we are told the bar is backlogged. Today we canceled our drink order because we had already started eating. We just had water. Terribly managed and a loss for Red Lobster. The hostess wasn't welcoming at all. Our server was nice but didn't stop by our table enough. We ordered endless shrimp. We found ourselves finished with our serving then having to wait 5-10 minutes for our next shrimp order. Maybe that's Red Lobsters way of controling the amount of shrimp their customer's order (the server not stopping by enough and having to wait between servings). Also, when we were deciding our side which come with endless shrimp, the server made suggestions. When we received the bill the sides suggested by the server were an extra cost. It was only $8 more but as a courtesy the server should have mentioned the upcharge. We are a rewards member but I think I'm done with Red Lobster, at least the Brea location.

3rd time here Great service Tasty food Drinks are good too
