Haha that’s funny that you mentioned that. My friend and I were just talking about that. It was the go to place for dinner in the 80’s for a hot date! 😂
I've been in the industry for a very long time. To be honest it's all the same except for what people are willing to pay for. Red Lobster is the most honest when it comes to actually serving a species of any seafood. I've worked at restaurants where I saw mystery fish passed of as say Mahi Mahi. It wasn't Mahi, but I no matter how long I waited, I never saw anyone notice 🤣😂🤣. Especially at so called classy joints. People will eat anything. Just trying to educate.
Think of the waiter when you come for all you can eat shrimp? I don't go out to eat for the comfort of my waiter. Maybe if it was so bad then the Corp shouldn't offer it.
So you're saying even though you're going to a restaurant that is offering endless shrimp, which is over priced anyways, you shouldn't get your money's worth because your server wont get as many tables? I'm more likely to tip more on something like this because I'm more satisfied, more bang for my buck equals more money for the server.
This. About the only reason to go to Red Lobster is endless shrimp. Anything else they serve is no better than what I can buy in the frozen food section and toss in my air fryer. I'm the type of person who will avoid making odd requests if I think there will be any inconvenience to the wait staff, but a company promotional item? ...Sucks for them.
Only Caucasians think that way, though. And that ain't the bulk of folks that show up for AYCE in a Red Lobster. 'Joggers' will run you like a slave and ghost you on the gratuity. Get a few of them in a night, and you will leave crying (and tired and broke)
3:39 "The next time you're thinking about bringing back Ultimate Endless Shrimp, it might not be a bad idea to think about the servers first." - There, I fixed it. This should be something for the corporate big wigs to worry about, not the customers.
If I want endless shrimp. I won't be thinking about the employee. I'll be nice but I'm not going to think "well if I order more, the employee might not like it." Its their job to serve.
It's not them serving you it's that they don't turn as many tables. Servers get tips. Turning less tables means less tips. Servers don't make a hourly wage they get paid tips. In my state server pay is $2.14 an hour. The more you know
You ever heard the phrase time is money? You spend 2 hours sitting down to eat and give $5 your server could have turned 4 other people within those 2 hours that you sat there. Assuming they all tip $5 thats $15 more than they got from you sitting there.
As a red lobster server ....I completely agree. It's my job . It's annoying but what job doesn't have annoying aspects ? I eat free cheddar biscuits and overall I actually do make good tips , so it is what it is when I have to annoyingly get someone more shrimp. Part of the job !!
Provide good service and you will get a good tip. I have witnessed many servers who are fairly lazy. If I have to ask for a glass of whatever beverage I’m drinking, you’re not doing your job. Tighten up.
This seems more like a long drawn out PR ad for Red Lobster than interesting tid-bits or hacks to save money. I don't need to watch a video to know that "If you want more, you can always buy more" , and being told to "Stop ordering certain things on the menu because it might affect servers' tips, because servers on Reddit say so" If I stay at a restaurant for a long time, the server keeps bringing me drink refills, and offers me some extra biscuits to go, even boxes it up for me, that's the server that will get way beyond a minimum tip.
@QuadRaSphere Records and Radio not everybody is eating at red lobster for that to happen.... besides people are going to sit there anyways until they are full!
I used to love the Red Lobster but since Olive Garden bought it out, it's horrible!!! I will not go back!! The grilled lobster I had looked like it was grilled, frozen, then put in a micro wave to serve. Taste that way too.
@@patmccoy9526 Where I live, the Olive Garden owns it now. It was owned by someone else before the Olive Garden took it over. At least that's what we were told. It was sold in about 2014. My cousin worked there. It used to be so good at one time.
At our location...We get to pick out our Lobster 🦞 out of the tanks and they will cook them right up fresh 4 us. Im not sure if it is all locations...The tanks are located as you walk in the doors...Something cool to see while you are waiting to be seated.
@@catherineharris27 The lobsters are fresh, and yeah, every Red Lobster location I've been to has the tanks. But most of the seafood comes frozen, which is how they keep prices low compared to some other seafood establishments.
That happened to my husband when he ordered the endless Shrimp🍤. It was more like endless waiting for Shrimp. He ordered 2 types of Shrimp for the first round and she got both orders wrong. When we told her they were wrong she said, What does it matter, you can just order more? So he asked for what he originally ordered and she disappeared for 40 minutes then stopped by and asked if he wanted anymore Shrimp. WTH? By then i had finished my dinner and do he just wanted to leave. That was the last time we went to RL.
Many reasons why. She had other tables to attend to other than you. The cook wasn't putting out refills fast enough. So the server doesn't want to be seen empty handed because they're still waiting for the food to be cooked. Or even that you were giving off bad vibes and it was out of spite. But I'd entertain the first two examples first.
This is literally a red lobster advertisement. I have no doubt corprate red lobster financed and aproved it. Hahaha such a joke literally an advertisement disguised as a TH-cam video.
Im a endless shrimp guy, when I go. Live on the east coast to NC and get fresh shrimp pretty cheap or catch it myself. Just better to eat it that way. Those biscuits are good too. Was fun to watch. Great video
Let me just say this about the endless shrimp. Look you got no customers you got nobody in the parking lot you want a good tip don't don't be facetious towards your customers and don't give them sideways looks either because they do pick up on it. You see there is a reason why your parking lots are empty. Trust me I know I've seen it I've seen every Red lobster from St Pete all the way to spring Hill. Empty. Stop looking at your gas sideways
They used to bread their fried shrimp in house and they were pretty good. Now they get them in frozen breaded and they are horrible. They have no flavor or taste to them. It's like eating cardboard. Red Lobster really went downhill. I haven't eaten there in years.
So next time instead of going to get unlimited shrimp and possibly irritating the server, I will just go to another restaurant and tip their waitress. What is this stupid video about? Ridiculous!
My favorite times at Red Lobster involved the long wait times for service and for my waiter/waitresses to return to the table to see if anybody needed anything.
so ive had a red lobster employee who said we would have to pay for the biscuits to take home but she just let us take them, doing a nice thing for us. That was about a year ago. I just went again a couple of days ago and the waitress just gave us a biscuit to go bag without us even asking. So the employee's don't seem to be enforcing it that much and I probably wouldn't either. you know how many people would get mad or annoyed for no reason? id rather just let them take it and avoid the rude customers. also they had a wagyu beef burger so that was interesting
@@MrMarcodarko no they don’t. At least I sure hope not lol. If they do it’s a secret lol. They just want to get more money so if you want to take any home they want you to pay for a new batch to go and you can take the others from the table as well. But as I said it doesn’t seem like they’re really enforcing it
Its not that hard to understand. The biscuits are a bonus with your meal. If you abuse that bonus then the bonus goes away. You're able to order a dozen biscuits by itself if you wish. You're also supposed to finish the biscuits at your table before you're able to recieve more. So if you are nearing the end of your stay and cash out/pay then the free biscuits are technically "done".
I am in agreement with some of the comments I’ve read. That the biscuits have gotten smaller and they don’t taste like they used to either. Also, I know that you can buy the boxes or the bags to make them at home but they never, never taste the same. As the one person said that he used to go in the 80s when he was a kid, things just tasted better back then he’s right, I think red lobster has gone downhill. I don’t go there as much. It’s interesting, I tell people that I actually like the fantail shrimp from culvers rather than red lobster and it’s about half the price. Also, I have never gotten charged for taking home a couple extra biscuits left at the table. But also, I have actually bought an extra biscuits to take home to.
Another thing you can do for the biscuits, save one until you are done with your meal and after eat the the biscuit. When the person waitin on ya brings another round, ask for a box or bag.
You can just ask for more biscuits and they'll bring them, you don't need to order them as a side. My hubby and I always ask for a second basket and they never charge us extras. Also, when we go for endless shrimp, we tell our server that we'll "pay rent" on the table and make sure to tip more generously than usual, since we know we've stayed longer and that a lot of people tend to be on the lean side when it comes to tipping. Since my hubby was a pizza driver for a few years when we were dating, we know how important tips are to server/driver incomes.
So what are they doing with the left over bread that's left at the table? Reserving it to other diners? If you don't pay for the complimentary biscuits to take home? I sure do hope that I misunderstood something here
I've never been to Red Lobster, is that an actual thing they do? Pretty absurd if it is, so much so that I call bullshit - it's from a reddit user after all. I'd wrap em in a napkin and stick 'em in my pocket.
@@shirosai615 No its not true. The server's aren't worried about customers taking home their leftover. They are trying to earn their tip and keep their customers happy
They just don't take pride in preparing the food for customers like they used to well actually that goes with any restaurants these days small proportion for big bucks enjoy
So, red lobster charges twice for the biscuits, once with the meal, then again if you want to get a doggy bag, otherwise they toss any uneaten biscuits!!, terrible food waste !!
Endless shrimp will cost you more if you have the nerve to go in on a monday...its on the menu this way. They used to have the best strawberry daiquiri however for two visits now there was no strawberry flavor at all. One visit was a snarky waitress when it was brought to her attention. We still left a 20% tip though
Horrible food. Haven't had in 20 yrs. Had it Tonite and threw up...omg horrific. Even biscuits flat salty horrible ... shrimp...awful. never ever again ...50 bucks for getting sick.
iI ove Red Lobster, at least I used to, until I saw a TH-cam video about a man who adopted a lobster from a seafood counter at a grocery store. I have only eaten at Red Lobster once, but after seeing a TH-cam video about a man who adopted a lobster from a seafood counter at a grocery store, I won't be doing that again. The cheesy biscuits are great and can be made at home. I like the idea of keeping a lobster as a pet in a huge aquarium far more than eating one.
@@Ammut6 Yes, very educational videos on TH-cam, I think the guy named the Lobster Leo, he may have to change that when he discovers the sex of his pet. Really fascinating, you should take a look, and learn a thing or two.
If one orders endless shrimp, and if waitstaff knows they have less table, just tip them MORE!!! They’re going back and forth to refill ur order. If the staff attends to my shrimp refills and the AYCE shrimp is $20, I take that into account and tip accordingly. If staff does NOT ask if I need refill and asks me to pay right away, they deserve less; next table can tip them. I waited tables too in my prior life…
If you want to know about Red Lobster, commercials and marketing are not where you should be looking for facts or the truth. I have worked for and with this 'company' for almost twenty years. AND THE TRUTH IS - There food is consistently as delicious as they say it all is. 😉
Mmmm, Red Lobster is tasty, and it may not be healthiest if you get the butter, but I love the butter. I don't go that much, so it's really a treat once in a while, so use it like a treat. Mmmm.
OK, so when I go for endless shrimp? To make up for staying a bit longer and getting more food for a cheaper price? I’ve always just left a bigger tip for my server.
The Seafood Stuffed Mushrooms are just awful, awful! The only edibles are the Red Lobster menu for me are the cheese biscuits and the clam chowder. I was told by some one who should know is that the 'sea-breeze' smell that greets you at the door is actually an air freshener pumped into the ventilation system.
think of the server first when it comes to endless shrimp? sorry but no. it's the companies limited offer, obviously we should enjoy to the fullest when we can, most of us get maybe a couple days like that every year, vs the servers who can work there for months to years, they'll get normal business every other day,they can sacrifice that meager amount,ignot maybe work for a company that doesn't have such an offer. ayce or all you can eat aka unlimited, means just that, one plate or a hundred plates,numbers are irrelevant, the company offers and the sever serves the customer, simple as that, it's a limited offer, nobody should leave before eating enough because tip for a day or so.
I’m pretty sure that The most important thing people should know is that the crab legs and pastas and vegetables and most of the stuff that’s not grilled comes out of a microwave. Pretty sure mast was going to point that fact out to people but I guess not
When I go to a restaurant to eat, I expect to be waited on. The server is there to bring me what I ask for, when I ask for it and be courteous about it. Snide remarks, funny looks, heavy sighs etc are deducted from a good tip. No server is going to tell me I can't take home any food left on the table when I'm full. If it's on the table, I paid for it and I'm taking it. What's next? If I only eat half my meal and ask for a container they're going to charge me a half plate price? 20 years in the restaurant business and I always told my servers, "You're not entitled to tips, you EARN them by how you treat the customer!" Pet peeve, why do these commercial makers think it's appealing to customers to see food jabbed into butter so hard it splashes everywhere? How many customers have they seen doing that? Not many I bet.
I used to work for them. We always cooked the lobster the same and if someone wanted it grilled, it was thrown on the grill for a few mins for the grill marks. Crab legs were microwaved. Same with pasta, veggies, etc. Servers would pull them out of the plastic bags and put them on the plate. They did not even chop lettuce. All lettuce came in chopped and many times it was already brown in a vacuum sealed bag. Since I worked for them, I have never returned to eat. Rather spend a little more at mom and pop seafood places and get things fresh and not microwaved.
What is your favorite thing from Red Lobster?
Butter
I would like them to bring back lobster rolls.
Shrimp scampi 🍤
Parrot Bay Coconut Shrimp
The "Captain's Platter" with MANY biscuits!!!
I remember when I used to think Red Lobster was fancy.
Yes and a date friendly & romantic place...Some locations you still get that vibe along with great customers service.
Haha that’s funny that you mentioned that. My friend and I were just talking about that. It was the go to place for dinner in the 80’s for a hot date! 😂

They mad I stay longer during endless shrimp?? 🤣🤣 fucc em ….
Think of the waiter when you come for all you can eat shrimp? I don't go out to eat for the comfort of my waiter. Maybe if it was so bad then the Corp shouldn't offer it.
I knew I'd find the asshole in the comment section.
In the 1980s when I was a little one, going to RL was a treat. It’s gone downhill since then. Maybe one day I’ll go back but not likely.
Yeah we damn near had to get dressed up to go to Red Lobster
Yes, let's give them an extra biscuit so fights can break out. It is refreshing that Red Lobster corporate is admitting they are a bunch of a-holes.
You can always order more for free 💀

How much shrimp can you eat without getting sick
A good portion of the people that order it…sit and eat all day and leave you a few bucks if that.
The biscuits are the only good thing at Red Lobster. They could sell the biscuits & give away the shrimp. It’s garbage seafood
Is it really seafood?
@@Pisti846 have ever tried there sea food

You poor soul.
Red Lobster has gone so far downhill I don't consider them an option anymore.
No wonder they are closing locations
You get more for your money to take the time and cook Seafood at home. Too expensive for small portions to eat out.
All about conviencence

So next time I want a whole bunch of shrimp I should first think of how my server feels about it? Pfffttt! I'm there for the shrimp!
I dislike the tartar sauce & the lobster portions are now very small, no matter what amount you pay.
So sad that companies cut corners at the expense of their customers only to lose customers because of that strategy.
The fact that you need tartar sauce to eat seafood oughta tell you something about the dumpster you decided to eat from
@@jamesftoland Odessa, Texas certainly isn’t known for fresh seafood.

Its still the same recipe.

🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐
They just don't take pride in preparing the food for customers like they used to well actually that goes with any restaurants these days small proportion for big bucks enjoy
So, red lobster charges twice for the biscuits, once with the meal, then again if you want to get a doggy bag, otherwise they toss any uneaten biscuits!!, terrible food waste !!
Why don’t they have cod? You know, fish & chips? Like the one on the thumbnail for this video. It even has tartar sauce next to it ????
theres nothing bad about butter.
I take home the biscuits all the time.... Just put them in with your other leftovers!!
Endless shrimp will cost you more if you have the nerve to go in on a monday...its on the menu this way. They used to have the best strawberry daiquiri however for two visits now there was no strawberry flavor at all. One visit was a snarky waitress when it was brought to her attention. We still left a 20% tip though

Horrible food. Haven't had in 20 yrs. Had it Tonite and threw up...omg horrific. Even biscuits flat salty horrible ... shrimp...awful. never ever again ...50 bucks for getting sick.
Most restaurants are very nice when they first open But as time goes on they have a tendency to get sloppy.
The restaurants in the middle Ga area are all terrible. Was great back in the day!
iI ove Red Lobster, at least I used to, until I saw a TH-cam video about a man who adopted a lobster from a seafood counter at a grocery store. I have only eaten at Red Lobster once, but after seeing a TH-cam video about a man who adopted a lobster from a seafood counter at a grocery store, I won't be doing that again. The cheesy biscuits are great and can be made at home. I like the idea of keeping a lobster as a pet in a huge aquarium far more than eating one.
Lolwhat?
@@Ammut6 Yes, very educational videos on TH-cam, I think the guy named the Lobster Leo, he may have to change that when he discovers the sex of his pet. Really fascinating, you should take a look, and learn a thing or two.
Red lobster is WAY TO SALTY..no thanks..and you can't order shrimp with less salt..( or no salt)
If one orders endless shrimp, and if waitstaff knows they have less table, just tip them MORE!!! They’re going back and forth to refill ur order. If the staff attends to my shrimp refills and the AYCE shrimp is $20, I take that into account and tip accordingly. If staff does NOT ask if I need refill and asks me to pay right away, they deserve less; next table can tip them.
I waited tables too in my prior life…
Go during the week when its not as busy for endless shrimp!
If you want to know about Red Lobster, commercials
and marketing are not where you should be looking for facts or the truth.
I have worked for and with this 'company' for almost twenty years.
AND THE TRUTH IS -
There food is consistently as delicious as they say it
all is. 😉
Wink wink and give a nod
Mmmm, Red Lobster is tasty, and it may not be healthiest if you get the butter, but I love the butter. I don't go that much, so it's really a treat once in a while, so use it like a treat. Mmmm.
OK, so when I go for endless shrimp? To make up for staying a bit longer and getting more food for a cheaper price? I’ve always just left a bigger tip for my server.
The Seafood Stuffed Mushrooms are just awful, awful! The only edibles are the Red Lobster menu for me are the cheese biscuits and the clam chowder.
I was told by some one who should know is that the 'sea-breeze' smell that greets you at the door is actually an air freshener pumped into the ventilation system.
think of the server first when it comes to endless shrimp?
sorry but no.
it's the companies limited offer, obviously we should enjoy to the fullest when we can, most of us get maybe a couple days like that every year, vs the servers who can work there for months to years, they'll get normal business every other day,they can sacrifice that meager amount,ignot maybe work for a company that doesn't have such an offer.
ayce or all you can eat aka unlimited, means just that, one plate or a hundred plates,numbers are irrelevant, the company offers and the sever serves the customer, simple as that, it's a limited offer, nobody should leave before eating enough because tip for a day or so.
Think about the server before ordering endless shrimp? Well it's their job to serve it to you. If it's too much of an inconvenience then quit
Made me so ooo hungry 👌👌👌
That was a party rule in my university years - bottle of vodka per person (500 ml) plus one for the table
I’m pretty sure that The most important thing people should know is that the crab legs and pastas and vegetables and most of the stuff that’s not grilled comes out of a microwave. Pretty sure mast was going to point that fact out to people but I guess not
great place place to eat, great food, enjoy. no problems here.
I just took home my red lobster biscuits home for free and she even gave me a box
They don’t make there meals like they use to won’t ever go back
When I go to a restaurant to eat, I expect to be waited on. The server is there to bring me what I ask for, when I ask for it and be courteous about it. Snide remarks, funny looks, heavy sighs etc are deducted from a good tip. No server is going to tell me I can't take home any food left on the table when I'm full. If it's on the table, I paid for it and I'm taking it. What's next? If I only eat half my meal and ask for a container they're going to charge me a half plate price? 20 years in the restaurant business and I always told my servers, "You're not entitled to tips, you EARN them by how you treat the customer!"
Pet peeve, why do these commercial makers think it's appealing to customers to see food jabbed into butter so hard it splashes everywhere? How many customers have they seen doing that? Not many I bet.
Red lobster straight trash over priced 👎👎
Noting wrong with butter if it is real butter. It is a healthy fat.
I used to work for them. We always cooked the lobster the same and if someone wanted it grilled, it was thrown on the grill for a few mins for the grill marks. Crab legs were microwaved. Same with pasta, veggies, etc. Servers would pull them out of the plastic bags and put them on the plate. They did not even chop lettuce. All lettuce came in chopped and many times it was already brown in a vacuum sealed bag. Since I worked for them, I have never returned to eat. Rather spend a little more at mom and pop seafood places and get things fresh and not microwaved.
Went after pandemic reopening and disappointed
Red Lobster isn't as good as they used to be.
Olive oil has a lot of calories too
Yeah they both have about the same calories, olive oil just has less saturated fat.
Butter appologetics have nada on olive oil. Americas waistline is drenched in butter
