Reviews for Red Lobster in Independence, MO
We ate there last Friday. We were seated at 6:20pm as soon as we arrived. It took over 20 minutes before a server came to take... any kind of order. It took another 30 minutes before bread was brought...with no plates. The waiter sure had time to talk to theother tables. The food was good, when we were finally able to track down the waiter to reorder shrimp...it took another 30minutes to come out. We were never offered more bread or drink refills. I usually tip a minimum of 20%, and our servers areusually wonderful. This server Jakobi was absolutely the worst. I don't feel the least bit remorseful not leaving him a tip. Weeat at Red Lobster at least twice a month. This is my first time ever in my 60+ years of life ever not leaving a tip. Managementcan rest assured if he's our server again, you will be moving us to another server. We had somewhere to be at 8pm... obviouslywe didn't make it. Read more

We sat in the bar area we won't do that again service isn't the best have to have bartender make your drink and wait on you too... he had a reward for spinach dip we got that before we ever got salad and biscuits but it took a while to get all of the above.Our seaside trios finally came and it was good I know staffing is a problem but don't seat people in an area where they want getwaited on like the dining area ijs.

My hubby and I were pleasantly surprised by our dinner experience. After having a challenge on a previous visit, we tried again... and were so glad we did! The service was awesome, the food was freshly prepared and just how we ordered, and our drinks were sogood! We will definitely be going back soon!! Read more

Update!: food poisoning!!!!! Been home a few hours from my hunnys bday we are both sick in the bathroom! Initial review: If you... like your salad with no utensils, soggy water logged crab legs to where you can only eat some of it, and a teaspoon of salt inyour margarita then this is the location for you! Between the service lol I sat with a salad and no utensils for over 5 minutes,or the half edible food I would say this is not worth $30 a plate! You do not boil crab legs and leave them submerged forextended periods of time, the crab legs were impossible to get the frickin meat out of the shell the shells were flimsy supersoggy. Read more
The last few times I have been there for lunch there is about a 15 minute wait for the table. The waitress was very nice. All... the food came out right and was hot. Read more
Got here at 6pm, hostess said 20 min wait, finally got sat at a booth after 40 mins. All the booths around us are empty. And... several empty tables. Then after sitting with no waitress after 20 mins, we asked someone walking by if we have a waitress totake our drink order, she said she’d go find out. So finally another 10 mins, a waiter comes and takes our order. Tookanother 30 mins to receive our food. It’s definitely a problem with staffing. The Cesar salad and biscuits were delicious. Iordered the Seafarers Feast and my husband ordered the crab linguine and got the lobster pizza for appetizer. All the food wasdelicious, except for the scallops were way overcooked, I did have to go get my own boxes for the leftovers, they were prettyeasy to find at the waitress stand. Maybe the place needs to be managed better. Read more
