Red Lobster - Winnipeg

Came here to try the limited time endless shrimp deal! The service was great and the food came out decently quick the only thing was that everything was SUPER salty. Definitely needed to drink a few glasses of water

I had supper at Red Lobster. There is a hockey game this evening and the arena is downtown. I figured the restaurants would be jammed around there so I ate a restaurant away from the downtown core. I'm not a fan of seafood but I figured Red Lobster would have chicken ... and they did. I created my own combo and ordered two fire-grilled chicken breasts with mashed potatoes. I thought $21.99 was a lot for what I got. The potatoes were warm and good, though a bit salty. The chicken was hot when it arrived. It had a funny rubbery texture and was salty also. I wouldn't get this again. AC was my server. She was friendly and took good care of me.

Went to this location yesterday, walked out. A table of 30 had just walked in before us, so we understood they needed a bit of time to get them situated. So they told us to wait about 5 minutes and they would get to us, no big deal. Restaurant was essentially empty other than that large group. So we sat, watched another couple come in right after us, and get sat immediately, while we were ignored. Had no problem going across the street to support a different business, will not be back.

The highlights of our meals were the coconut shrimp and the stuffed mushrooms. The texture of the coconut is hugely present so if you aren't a fan of that be wary. I had the lobster linguine and felt the flavors were very plain. The lobster was a tad rubbery. The juices and sauce from my dish were excellent for dipping my biscuits, though! Mm. Those biscuits. Crumbly and cheesy and garlic. If not a bit dry. It's expensive for the quality (low mediocre). If I went back if probably wait until there was some deal on shrimp so I could devour all the coconut shrimp.

We had a great experience at this Red Lobster location! Our waitress, Fran, went out of her way to make sure we all had an enjoyable time, delicious meals and helped us make some pretty good meal choices. She was very personable and easy to converse with, and had a great spirit. She recommended to me the Wagyu beef burger (I'm unable to eat fish) which was, for a lack of better words, AMAZING. For $15 that was a pretty damn great burger if you ask me. We always try to make it to Red Lobster when we're in Winnipeg and our experience here this time ensured another visit from us next time we're here. Thank you so much Fran for your excellent service and hospitality, you sure gave us a great experience!!
