Red Lobster Tampa Busch Boulevard

There was nobody at the hostess section and once the hostess arrived she didn't even seem like she wanted to be there, once we were seated it took twenty minutes to have our drinks delivered from the bar. According to the waitress it was the managers fault and we did get a discount for our troubles. But I don't think I will go back to this location, until they learn what customer service is about.

We were visiting Busch gardens for our daughters birthday and decided to come to red lobster. Red lobster is usually one of my favorite seafood places to eat. By the looks of the parking lot the place looked pretty empty. Walked in and was told it was going to be about a 15 min wait. (No big deal) we were seated at 7pm. It took forever for us to get our drinks. We ordered our food right away. We didn’t get our food for almost an hour after we ordered. Our actual waiter was nice but it seemed as the place was short staffed. The food was not super great. 2 out of 3 dishes were not great. They didn’t have anybody cleaning up dirty tables. Almost every table in the place had trash and food on it. People behind us were also complaining that their food was not good. I’m not usually one to complain but all I can say is wow. Thank goodness this is not our normal red lobster.

They were busy but the service was good and the food was delicious

Thank you for the amazing dinner. We really enjoyed our meal and our waiter did a fantastic job. He is truly an asset to your business. He checked on us often and was very polite. The food was delicious. We will be back.

A.J. the bar tender at the Red Lobster on Busch Blvd was AAMMAZZZZING! The 5 star rating received was mainly based on the Magnificent $5 Margaritas we had. He was also one of the only servers on staff tonight. He handled all patrons in his seating area, professionally, in a timely manner and even conversated. This experience was definitely 5
