Here on the Gulf Coast, we have so many truly fine seafood restaurants Red Lobster just can’t compete. Why eat a pre-made frozen entrée they plop into the oven for 15 minutes or more when you can have actual real fresh seafood prepared by a real chef for maybe even less?
Red Lobster here is like Captain D’s or Long John Silvers with better looking staff..................
Not everybody lives in paradise 😁

Yep. I’ve never understood people around here (Mobile) going to Red Lobster. I guess if you truly want lobster, but shrimp? Let’s see; frozen for the last two years or caught yesterday out of the Gulf? Hard decision. I was a “real chef”. Spent my high school years frying shrimp, oysters, and flounder every weekend, all weekend, at the restaurant my dad managed.
Whenever my wife and I are near the ocean on vacation we always try and find a couple of locals and ask them where to go for good seafood and have always had good luck. The seafood is fresh, prices are reasonable and service is good.
I can count on one hand the number of times I have eaten at Reb Lobster in my life.
