Red Lobster - (Near Salinas, CA)

4 /5 Itt Pamarapa: Another good choice of seafood restaurants in the area. Today’s Special was Snow Crab Legs. Not many service staff were there. Waiting time could be expected. There famous cheese biscuits were as good as always. Their crabs were perfectly cooked.

4 /5 Napoleon Navarro: We ordered the seafood stuffed mushrooms for our appetizer. The mushrooms have a great taste and are covered with cheese and bread crumbs. They are very light and well-seasoned. I also ordered the Spendless Shrimp which includes garlic shrimp scampi, shrimp linguini alfredo, popcorn shrimp and Chesapeake fries. The garlic shrimp scampi was so yummy, the garlic sauce is out of this world! It was easily the best item on my plate. The linguini alfredo was good but I had to mix the sauce on my own, since it came out and was kind of covering only half the pasta which youll see in the picture. The popcorn shrimp was alright but their cocktail sauce was great to dip them in. We went around 1 PM on a Friday and the restaurant did not seem busy. Although, the food took a while to come out. Also, the server never stopped by our table to ask if we wanted our drinks refilled. This was a little frustrating. On a more positive note, our hostess did an amazing job and checked on us to see how we liked our food, which I appreciated.

5 /5 Lani Hernandez: Brought my mother-in-law here for her birthday dinner and the service we received from every staff member we came into contact with was incredible. We especially loved the hostess, I dont remember what her name was but she checked on us several times during our meal and engaged with us making conversation and jokes. You dont find service like this anywhere anymore! Rebecca, our server was very attentive and made sure we always had everything we needed. The food was also great! Everything was fresh and was flavorful. We got her a live lobster as well, just to get the whole experience. She finished every bite. Thank you all for making her special day extra special! Well be back!

5 /5 Carmen Ambriz: Alyssa P. from the Salinas Red Lobster was amazing. The food was so good. We haven’t been back since they changed the menu, ceo, etc. and you can just tell the improvements. We had such great service here and the food was excellent

5 /5 Iris Venegas: On 11/26/2025 my daughters and I went to have dinner. It had been years since I went to Red lobster. Since we walked in to the restaurant we were treated amazing. The hostess greeted us, the waiter was fantastic, and then it ended with the manager being so kind and treating us so well. It was a great dinner experience. I wish I would have got their names. They all had the best customer service.
