I love the coconut shrimp. I don't think it's a scam. You had a nice plate of shrimp. I just had fried shrimp at the beach and got 10 shrimp with a single side. The shrimp were the same size if not small. It was really a quick service situation. $20. You had way more food than I got for just a few more $$. It seems like you enjoyed it. Seems like a win.
I have a friend who said him and his friends used to go to Red Lobster and each one of them would eat 15 to 20 plates of shrimp.I read that last year Red Lobster had at least 1 quarter when they lost money,mostly due to the endless shrimp promotion.
It's a scam nowadays, it's used to be worth it. they take forever to bring the extra shrimp and when they do its only a very small portion, it makes you irritated
We were there about three weeks ago for the same thing. We stayed away from the filling Alfredo. And we both got broccoli instead of a heavier side. My favorites are Walt’s and the scampi. I do not care for the coconut shrimp at all. I believe we each had 7 helpings of shrimp (3-2-2). We got our money’s worth 😎
Never eat your sides. Get a box and take them home. And yes you can take your sides home just not shrimp because the shrimp is AYCE not the sides. And don’t have the biscuits. Remember you are there for the shrimp. 🍤 Plus don’t eat the rice put it in the box with your other sides. Plus never get the shrimp linguine. The pasta is just a filler just like the sides. Also if you pinch off the tail you don’t waste the shrimp. It’s ok to use your fingers to eat the scampi. Remember you are there for the Shrimp 🍤 It’s all about the shrimp 🍤 not the sides and biscuits. It is not a scam. If you would have ate just the shrimp you would feel like you got your moneys worth. Plus if you don’t get the breaded shrimp it’s less filler in you stomach. When we go we only get one breaded the whole time we are there. Then just get the skewers and scampi. Prices do vary. We put the grilled in to the butter that the scampi is in. The sauce that come with the coconut shrimp is Pina Colada sauce. It’s not suppose to be a savory sauce. It’s interesting that you thought it tasted like a dessert. Remember you are there for the Shrimp 🍤
It's not a scam. You take all the sides & biscuits home and eat only shrimp. Bring your own containers in case they will not provide one for the sides.
Coconut shrimp is my favorite. My strategy is. Order the broccoli as a side, never the potato. Have only one biscuit. Eat mostly grilled shrimp, coconut shrimp, and shrimp scampi. You reorder when they bring out your order. Two items at a time. The longer you wait the fuller you become. At the end I might get the shrimp alfredo or the walts favorite shrimp. When you order the grilled, tell them to leave the rice off. I dip my broccoli a little bit into the shrimp scampi sauce for a flavor boost. I avoid the popcorn shrimp. To much bread to shrimp ratio.
Red Lobster is nostalgic for us. It was our special occasion place to eat when we were young and broke! I love the coconut shrimp and the pineapple dipping sauce!
I enjoy all of the shrimp choices although I never order the Walt's Favorite Shrimp because it's excessively salty, and I'm not the kind of person who is bothered by saltier foods. I think the breading could be better as well. I think Red Lobster's alfredo sauce is more flavorful than Olive Garden's. Interestingly, I've never had the Shrimp Alfredo served to me with tail-on shrimp. The Coconut Shrimp is my favorite. The yummy sauce seems to be crushed pineapple in yogurt with some other ingredients added such as maybe coconut milk or Mexican crema. I like that Red Lobster features some new shrimp varieties on occasion, but in my experience they often run out of them or simply don't have them available when they are supposed to.
I ❤ Red Lobster. The Walt's Shrimp is my absolute favorite! I recommend the Fried Flounder also. It is really lightly breaded like the Walt's shrimp and the mild and flaky. I enjoyed this video. Thanks for sharing. 👍
My strategy was to eat all the other kinds of shrimp I wanted first. Ate part of my side of broccoli and then for my last shrimp dish I'd get the alfredo and add the rest of my broccoli to it. I'd also limit myself to just one or two of the cheddar biscuits. Love to eat those along with a salad.
Great video. Just an FYI for anyone who cares, I have made the cheddar bay biscuits from the red lobster mix at the grocery store and they are awesome! So if you have a hankering for the biscuits but are on a budget, I definitely recommend.
I did this 2 yrs ago and ate 72 (I remember that # bc I texted my cousin right away). The problem with my experience is they brought a couple at a time, then check on you every 15 minutes, and during that time you get satiated. If they would bring you 3 at a time like in your case, and more often faster you could eat more. I can't complain though. Also, shrimp never as big as on tv commercials.
Shrimp is really filling especially breaded. Of course you may want a add on. Those cheddar biscuits aren’t the same from back in the days. Quite sure they’re chemically enhanced. Factor in drinks, salad and maybe dessert and your bill is going to be more than what you paid for endless shrimp.
The Red Lobsters in my state are alway good. They are constantly good. Never get anything wrong no matter how many are in our group. My favorite? Walts Fried Shrimp.
Same exact deal here in NJ and its only 17.99 .. and just like others stated , ordering those sides instead of concentrating on just shrimp was your own fault .. !! Sorry
These all you can/care to eat deals are good if you have a big appetite. Otherwise, not worth it. I do enjoy Red Lobster but lately they have been drowning the food in butter. We ate there 2 weeks ago, so much butter, I was sick later that evening. Never happened before. Guess I'm getting old. Next time I'll stick to crab legs or grilled items 😂.
I only want 2 of the shrimp choices, scampi and grilled. To start I get 2 scampi and 1 grilled. I take the scampi from one of the dishes and put them in the other and pour the garlic butter into my baked tater. It has been a few years since I had this deal. I think it was $19.99 the last time. I think scam is too strong a word for something that I can (with no problem) eat many of those. I say no to the rice and never get the pasta one or the fried ones. Now if they would only do the same type of deal for crawfish...oh heaven for me!
Red Lobster does not pay that much, and the price includes their labor and admin cost. Most people do not order many after the first order. People fill up on biscuits and beverage.
I love Red Lobster and their shrimp and biscuits♥♥♥ Actually, I loved everything you both picked. The noodle Alfredo, baked potato, broccoli and all the different shrimps.
HOW CAN IT BE A “SCAM”? You ate everything! You complimented every item on both plates. You ate like it was your last meal. $60.00 for two, “All You Can Eat” meals is a crazy good value!
Just take a big ziplock bag and put them in it then your purse. I used to do that in the winter at a buffett and put chicken and other meats in a ziplock bag then in my jacket pockets. I do not eat shrimp now because I got some shrimp at a Long John Silver one time and it made me sick for 2 days, so I do not eat shrimp any more.
I used to Love Red Lobster. I actually worked there for six years. But in 22 they quit serving shrimp cocktail. Wtf? Never heard of a seafood restaurant that didn’t serve shrimp cocktail. That’s just crazy.
I don’t think it’s a scam but the endless shrimp isn’t worth it and gets repetitive fast when you can only order the same few things over and over again. At that price, just pay a bit more and go get AYCE sushi also seafood and much more variety.
I never have a bad experience when it comes to Endless Shrimp! I get they need to try to make a few bucks extra, and I probably don’t need all of the portions, LOL. $27 is once in awhile pricing. In fact, last night, I spent $14 on two boxes of their branded (probably made by ConAgra or something) Cheddar Bay Biscuit and Popcorn Coconut Shrimp. Made them at home and they were delicious! It’s a nice alternative when it’s 11:30PM, LOL!
The latest news about Red Lobster is that because of losing so much money on the endless shrimp deal, alot of restaurants will be closing for good .......What a shame......Those deals are too good to pass up so it costs them dearly........You CAN'T give good food away and expect to stay in business......
It is a scam . I went a 2pm and it was slow. I placed my order and 45 minutes later was served my shrimp. Since it took so long I placed my second order when they brought my first order. I finished my shrimp , rice and loaded bake potato and I use the word loaded lightly. Lacking sour cream . The second order still not here. I flagged down my waiter and asked about it . He said I shouldn't have placed the order with the person who brought my food. So he said would you like a free dessert. No I want the manager. Told her I wasn't happy being charged 27 bucks for 3 shrimp dishes. She sent me home with 3 more shrimp dishes and didn't charge me. I was using a gift card. She could tell I was less than happy with this trip to the lobster. Got out of lobsterville 3 hours later. Just too slow cooking and serving . I could have done 12 shrimp dishes if they stayed on top of things.
Many years ago I ordered the all you can eat shrimp at Red lobster in Medford Oregon never been back Thay served 4 shrimp with a 20 min wait for every 4 shrimp served so disapointing
It is a scam. They bring you tiny portions and make you keep bothering the waitresses which in turn you end up feeling bad for bothering the waitress to bring you another serving.
Red lobster isn't what it use to be. I agree with you guys it's a scam. And when you walk in , have you Notice the strong Fish smell in the air . And I had the Coconut shrimp, I Also did not like the sauce .😢
❤️ If you LOVE food, SUBSCRIBE for more!
I like red lobster. A scam is goin to a Vegas restaurant and paying $70 for a steak and $15 for each side item.
Agree 💯 ( A baked potato for $17 ! Now that's a scam . 😊
Agreed. Vegas is nothing but a scam. If the restaurants are not scamming you. The people on the street are.
Agree, so many things are a scam in Vegas now 😢
I agree!!
i dont think its a scam i was there the shrimp were excellent

They should know better. I have seen them in action. You know the strategy. You have it down.
As much as I love the shrimp, you gotta put down some biscuits. Those things are divine in their own light.
That looks fine to me for the price, not a scam.
It's not a scam. You take all the sides & biscuits home and eat only shrimp. Bring your own containers in case they will not provide one for the sides.
You’re not allowed to take anything home if you order endless shrimp. So you either eat it or leave it.
Wtf is wrong with you, this is why businesses stop having AYCE
it's not a scam but it would be worth it only if you have about 5 or 6 refills at least on top of your first order then it would be worth it
great review ,the food looked great and i love your channel and honesty

You've put some thought into this, even calculating breading ratios! God bless America.

Is Catherine a teacher or an announcer? She is exceptionally clear and easy to understand.
Derek I think you are the only person on TH-cam who knows how to eat the whole shrimp including that last piece of the tail.
Cheddar Bay Biscuits are divine. Can eat a dozen easily. 😅❤🎉
So great to see you both again!! Thanks for another wonderful time with you. 💗👍🍤🦐🍤🍤🍤

What? Derek not eating fried chicken? Lol
Catherine your descriptions are spot on!
My favorite is the coconut shrimp with pineapple dip 🤤 yummy
I forgot how delicious Red Lobster is. Thanks for taking us with you and making me hungry.
Yeah, nothing like the taste of frozen shrimp! mmmmm
Always enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing.
Love you Guys..Keep them Coming and Hope you are Fabulous...

They sell that biscuit mix in the store here in Canada.
So do they in the USA
The endless shrimp is my favorite from Red Lobster but you have to order a few platefuls to really take advantage of it. It is definitely not a scam
That deal is $25 by me, up from $20. I don't eat the sides and biscuits. Take them home! I have no problem getting my money's worth!
Shrimp is really filling especially breaded. Of course you may want a add on. Those cheddar biscuits aren’t the same from back in the days. Quite sure they’re chemically enhanced. Factor in drinks, salad and maybe dessert and your bill is going to be more than what you paid for endless shrimp.

We ate there 2 weeks ago, so much butter, I was sick later that evening. Never happened before. Guess I'm getting old. Next time I'll stick to crab legs or grilled items 😂.
Wonder how 1 of those competitive eaters would put up against this kind of thing
@@Frogbjb they get for sure their money's worth. Watched on who ate over 200 shrimp.
I'd be stupid enough to go and order the endless shrimp and then eat 8-10 cheddar bay biscuits and only have room for 4 shrimp lmfao
I only want 2 of the shrimp choices, scampi and grilled. To start I get 2 scampi and 1 grilled. I take the scampi from one of the dishes and put them in the other and pour the garlic butter into my baked tater. It has been a few years since I had this deal. I think it was $19.99 the last time.

I could eat Endless shrimp and cheddar biscuits!! 😍🤤
eat one biscuit, the rest are to go
Nope, cannot take anything to go if you order the endless shrimp.
@@TRMV your red lobster must suck .. they let me and my mom take now one but two baskets of biscuits
Just had the AYCE shrimp buffet at Red Lobster in Hialeah , Florida at $20! My favorites were the Walts, Coconut & Scampi! No bad!
To justify the cost, one must consume 3lbs of shrimp. When you reorder there is a wait, hoping you get tired and leave.
No wait for seconds in florida I always order the second round when the deliver the first round, the waitress always asks.
How when shrimp is like 20 dollars per lb?
Red Lobster does not pay that much, and the price includes their labor and admin cost. Most people do not order many after the first order. People fill up on biscuits and beverage.
I don't think you realise just how expensive food and restaurant overheads have got in the last year or two.
Where are you getting that number?
Red lobster is one of the great restaurants left from the old days, none better!
Salt and vinegar shrimp MIGHT just tempt me into a Red Lobster!
A large purse and many quart plastic bags...lol
I wish we had a Red Lobster here in Vancouver. Have to go across the border to the nearest one.
I do too.
I live in florida and endless shrimp is $25 and I always take enough home for a couple more. Meals
I love Red Lobster and their shrimp and biscuits♥♥♥ Actually, I loved everything you both picked. The noodle Alfredo, baked potato, broccoli and all the different shrimps.
Whoaaa, the price of that used to be $14.99 for all you can eat shrimp just 2 years ago!!! WOW!
Inflation and the increase of minimum wage.
Do you know how many bags of shrimp you could have bought for 60 bucks at costco?😂😂😂
You could say that about any item at restaurant .
Wow most definitely gone up everywhere on prices hello 👋🏽 Derek & Catherine
about 6 or 7 years ago wasn't like 14.99?
Have to pay for the increase in minimum wage.
I really miss the lobster poppers they used to have when they had lobster fest. They were so good!
HOW CAN IT BE A “SCAM”? You ate everything! You complimented every item on both plates. You ate like it was your last meal. $60.00 for two, “All You Can Eat” meals is a crazy good value!

Is it ever NOT lobster fest at red lobster? Istg I’ve never seen it not be lobster fest 😂
Nvm update now it’s crab fest 😂
I love those biscuits and shrimp scampi!
You can get hushpuppies as a side now for a lil upcharge. You get 5 and they are awesome
I used to Love Red Lobster. I actually worked there for six years. But in 22 they quit serving shrimp cocktail. Wtf? Never heard of a seafood restaurant that didn’t serve shrimp cocktail. That’s just crazy.
"Ya it's a Scam" 🤣🤣🤣
can you do a we ate most expensive steak at bob taylor's ranch in NW vegas.
That looks like a really nice Red Lobster restaurant. I love Endless Shrimp!!!
I don’t think it’s a scam but the endless shrimp isn’t worth it and gets repetitive fast when you can only order the same few things over and over again. At that price, just pay a bit more and go get AYCE sushi also seafood and much more variety.
Plenty of Chinese all you can eat places have shrimp for under $15 for lunch every day.
It’s not a scam. The shrimp varieties were amazing! Oh, and the Cheddar Bay biscuits are great. Enjoy!
I read in news that red lobster going file bankruptcy chapter 11.
This just reminds me of my mom. She loved seafood! But we aren't red lobster fans. We lost her three weeks ago 😞😞
The lobster and shrimps stack soo good.
Really ? A scam ? Strong word friends. 😭 ( A former Red Lobster management team member )
Lacks quality for those who truly know their seafood.....we order from Alaska

Don't eat the bread and sides. Just Shrimp, shrimp and more shrimp
Some good music in the background

Depends on the restaurant. Back in the day we would take as much home as we ate at the restaurant.
I'm more surprised that Red Lobster is still around, ours closed years ago.
The coconut shrimp is to die for ❤.
Many years ago I ordered the all you can eat shrimp at Red lobster in Medford Oregon never been back Thay served 4 shrimp with a 20 min wait for every 4 shrimp served so disapointing
You two are adorable.
What's a scam are the food prices in Las Vegas; like 25 bucks for Fish n Chips
Wow
Love you guys❤
In Canada I paid $30 for endless shrimp. A much better deal because of exchange rate
After this video, Red Lobster is considering filing bankruptcy. Not kidding. Coincidence or was Derek the straw that broke the camels back. 🤣
Is this in Canada?
It is an okay deal, as always we can eat way less of the sides, and order less fried shrimp, more grilled/scampi etc. To each I guess. Looked good!
It is a scam. They bring you tiny portions and make you keep bothering the waitresses which in turn you end up feeling bad for bothering the waitress to bring you another serving.
Great video 📹
My nearest red lobster let's us take whatever we want home
Red lobster isn't what it use to be.
I agree with you guys it's a scam.
And when you walk in , have you
Notice the strong
Fish smell in the air . And I had the
Coconut shrimp, I
Also did not like the sauce .😢
Do they do Lobster Thermodor, my personal favourite 😋
I don’t think it’s a scam. You just have to choose and eat wisely when you go…
Agreed. They didn’t eat wisely. Don’t eat the biscuits for one thing. Go in with the mindset of just eating endless shrimp. Also don’t get any sides.
Go to any Chinese buffet at lunch..eat endless shrimp for $9 to $12
It looks great, I went there for there Lobster Bisque, but you paid alot for a little bowl.
I finally know only expensive restaurants dont show image in menu
It's Pina colada sauce guys...very nice, we get it all the time
