I haven't been to one since about 1989 or 90. The first time I went to one was when they first opened one in Sarasota, FL and couldn't understand why anyone would want to eat in a place like that when there was so much fresh seafood to be had locally.
Even that last time I ate in one, in Dover, DE, I couldn't understand why any of my friends who voted for it wanted to eat there. I understand the need for things like king and snow crab being frozen, but, to me, there is absolutely no excuse for using frozen fish and seafood that can be had fresh locally.
Say hello to Madame D.
Ditto!

Never been to a Red Lobster. When we lived on Cape Cod, it always seemed akin to getting a hot dog from a convenience store and then claiming we "went out for dinner." :-)
Here in Bangor, when we get a yen for good seafood, we go to a local place named McLaughlin's. They have a take-out stand located next to their seafood store and they've never disappointed yet. As further testimony to their excellence, they're located just up the road from the sewage treatment plant and still do a land-office business during the season. Their luxuriously appointed dining room (picnic tables) only adds to the ambience.
