Red Lobster - Joplin

We had fantastic service from a young man called alex. we ordered various types of seafood and everything was excellent. the only thing I wouldn't give 5 stars was my friend's margarita. it tasted like they forgot to enter the mix. it was very strong. otherwise it was a great culinary experience! food: 5/5

I did not eat in about 35 years at this place and since it is only a few minutes walk away from my apartment, I thought I would try. it was a disappointing experience. the outer was updated in the last few years, but the inner is exactly the same as I remember that it was when I was 12. it's like a cave. it was extremely dark inside, though I went to lunch. there is no natural light, and the artificial light was not sufficient to me. the waiting and host staff wore all black uniforms, slacks and long sleeve buttons downs, and as a former server I felt regret for them. they looked uncomfortable and unhappy. I ordered garnelen sampi, from the lunch menu, and it came with my choice of two sides. my Caesar salad was good, with beautiful fresh greens and real parmesan flakes. when my server was sitting in front of me, I was surprised as I expected a pasta dish. what I got instead was a beautiful part of sauteed garnelen in butter sauce, accompanied by the brokkoli I chose. I said more to me than my waitress, asked me where the pasta was. she informed me that if I wanted pasta, I should have ordered the Linguine alfredo. I was not upset and disassembled it to my ignorance of the menu. the garnels were boiled properly but had little taste, but the brokkoli was surprisingly good. my server was friendly and has made a nice job. she went beyond and beyond to make sure that I was satisfied by initiating the chefs to make the court I thought I was ordered, and surprised me by eating it before me about halfway through my lunch. there is a local restaurant that has tasty garnel sampi, and I use it as a gold standard that I can compare with. the red lobsters version reminded me of a microwave-free dinner. it was bland and boring, and certainly not worth the $16.49 I paid for it. I'll never dinate there again unless the comany gets an A game as a whole. I gave him only a three-star review because of the helpful, friendly server and hostess. red lobster, this is your more vigilant call that goes out of my common!

The food was delicious! the sirloin was incredible. I never really eat steak from anywhere other than Texas roadhouse, but that was actually quite amazing! I'm going back to the finals.

Calamari was cooked very well, kudos to the chef/cook!! I ordered the pick 2 and the oven cooked flounder and coconut shrimp were fabulous!! Our waitress did a wonderful job!! The Alfredo tasted rich and creamy!! 4 stars are only because the price was high!!

We came unintentionally to the conclusion. we had no idea what we had done until the people sneak out. our server and the staff were very friendly and treated us like we first customers of the day. mariah was one of the best servers we ever had. she was attentive and took the meal perfectly. she was super friendly and had such a great intention and personality! she is a brilliant example of how to be a big server! eating was also amazing! even if we were there so late, our food was fresh and so delicious and cooked for perfection! definitely had quality staff and products from the front to the back! Many thanks joplin red lobster for our date night a great success!
