Trouble for the tip

Red Lobster testing 'pay at the counter' concept

 

 

The concept, known in the industry as "fast-casual," comes as people increasingly move away fromfull-service restaurants in favor of places such as Chipotle or Panera, where they feel they can get restaurant-quality food in a more convenient setting and without having to tip.

This is Red Lobster's excuse to serve poorer quality food. If really want decent seafood I'll go to Market Broiler anyways.

Mmm cheddar biscuits.

It's Lobsterfest®!

Went to Red Lobster while in Tempe because we had some gift cards to use. God they are worse than I remember.

I've been there twice and both times it was bad. I'll never go there again. Keep in mind, I've lived off of Navy food for extended periods of time and I'm saying Red Lobster is bad.

Man, I totally thought this thread was going to be about the game I like to play with my wife.

I thought that was Ugg from Salute Your Shorts and was going to give you props.

Instead I'll give you an OJ Simpson slammer for pogs.

This thread is 9 years old so he probably doesn’t remember. Underwhelming food is forgettable

He said he'd never go to Red Lobster, so I'm curious if he's kept that oath.

Declaring that one will never step foot in a particular eating establishment is a sacred oath on the interwebs.

Is that like the “Blue Oyster” but with a heavier clientele?

[HanfordGuy]

So it was back in the late 90s and I’m with my then wife (now ex) at a local Red Lobster. I ordered something with a mushroom and it took forever to get my food. After 40 minutes the manager approaches me and tells me that what I ordered, no one knows how to make it so they had to call their corporate headquarters to get the recipe faxed to them.  He apologized and said that our meals would be free. I too had to apologize as I forgot to order 2 expensive desserts which he included in my comped meal along with a “to go order” of the cheddar biscuits. Good times.

It's where all the blue haired ladies eat. Tank is very popular there.

Haha. 9 years later this is still a solid post. A rarity for me.
