Red Lobster in California

"We recently had an extremely pleasant and satisfying dining experience at the Red Lobster on Mooney Boulevard in Visalia, CA, where we live. The food was most excellent, and the pleasure of our visit was greatly enhanced by our server, a young lady named America. She was extremely efficient and professional; in addition to this, she was authentically kind, warmhearted, personable, and charming. She is an intelligent young lady who clearly likes people and enjoys her job, and I intend to ask specifically to be seated in her section the next time I dine at Red Lobster. Thank you for a memorable dining experience, America! You’re the best!"

"All 4 of our meals were very good. The service was very good as well. The only reason I gave 4 starts for Atmosphere was because the music was a little loud for our taste. We had almost stopped going to Red Lobster all together because quality and quantity had gone downhill. But now we’ll be back often. Red Lobster is back on my husband’s preferred restaurant list again."

"I was watching some TV show while my husband and his brother were playing some survival game that I don't like, then I saw Red Lobster commercial, then suddenly wanted Red Lobster so I asked my brother in law if we can go to Red lobster for dinner instead of cooking dinner. and he was like sure~ but it's like 40 min away from here, I'm like what? Anyway, the service was super super friendly, and the lady who helped us was super fun too! The food was great too! We ended up spending a lot, but it was worth it!"

"I'm rating everything 4 stars just because it was all very average. Nothing bad, but nothing great either. It's been about 7 years since we were last at Red lobster so I reserved our table online because 7 years ago I remember it being packed on the weekends! Well, it wasn't packed or even busy when we went right at dinner time on a Sunday. Our waiter was nice, checked on us an okay amount but nothing more than that. Our food came and it was good, everything was cooked well but it was also sort of average. I suppose for the price you just want *something* to be amazing or very delicious. I felt fine when the bill did come though, because nothing was bad it was all good. Red lobster is not our normal stomping grounds though since having kids, but our son wanted to try a lobster so why not at red lobster! He definitely left feeling over the moon, and loved seeing the live lobsters in the tank."

"The chicken Alfredo, shrimp Alfredo, and cheese garlic biscuits are as delicious as ever!"

"Whenever we come, we ask for Shavon because she gives the best service. She’s very friendly and remembers our order every time. Our drinks are never empty and our bread basket is always full. We enjoy our meal that much more because never have ask about refills. She’s our favorite:)"

"On January 1st 2026, we visited Red Lobster in Visalia Ca. We had an exceptional waiter named Thomas. He was so attentive, checking on our party frequently and following up on anything we needed. He was friendly and offered suggestions from the menu based on information we shared on our food interests. He truly made our meal experience AWESOME! Although we told Thomas thank you several times, I wanted to recognize him in another way. I hope this reaches the corporate office and the people in our community that frequent this restaurant.Thomas if you receive this... I hope you know how much we really appreciated your great service and positive attitude! God bless you in this New Year. Lindy Akers, Hanford California"

"We were going to give a lower rate for service because when we got our table he forgot about us left right away so I couldn’t get his name he even forgot to ask if we needed anything to drink…. 25 minutes later I flagged a gentleman and asked him if we could get someone to help us , later the nicest lady Alex ( Alejandra) came to our table and apologized and made everything better for us she went well and above great service and also we got to meet the nice manager she came to our table to apologize and to make sure we were well taken care off , very professional. This two lovely ladies made everything worth our trip for our endless Shrimp dinner which we highly recommend."
