Red Lobster

We had a great time at Red Lobster! The restaurant is very close to the airport, only about 10 minutes away! So it was a convenient place to eat before our flight. The manager personally served us and even showed us how to enjoy the crab legs! The food was good, and the staff made us feel welcome. We saw many families celebrating birthdays there, and the staff sang the birthday song right at the table. If you’re looking for seafood and friendly service near SF airport, this is a simple and good choice.

I came here to try the new seafood boil that's been on ads everywhere. It's my first time back to Red Lobster in decades. Seafood boil is popular in Bay Area but are almost always served by Vietnamese with fake Cajun sauce (it's mostly garlicky) so I was looking forward to comparing Red Lobster sauce. There are three options and I chose the Cajun sauce (not the most popular which is roasted garlic) with extra spicy). Honestly it's not super spicy but Cajun has never been that spicy for me but I do like the sauce from Red Lobster as it's more authentic Cajun sauce. The seafood boil comes in a bag and it's not super heavy/wet with sauce. The sausages are grilled separately so it's not part of the bag which I wish it was. I like sausages but don't think it's worth the extra cost. The seafood boil itself is pretty delicious. I liked everything but I do wish they use bigger prawns or better yet use crawfish instead of shrimps. The lobster is cut into two halves and pretty good. The crab is snow crab which is not as good as king crab but then the price wouldn't allow for king crab. The price is about $54 for the one with the crab + lobster. Overall I think it's a decent choice for seafood boil and I wouldn't mind going back. Service is fairly good for a chain restaurant and I'm surprised there are decent numbers of people having lunch. My suggestion is to buy the gift certificate from Costco if you want to save some $$. I don't like that the suggested tips is post tax and the percentage is inflated but you can adjust yourself.

Went to this location on the evening of 8/22/25 and was seated immediately. This seems to be a larger location and with that being said it was a real delay on getting those cheddar biscuits while looking through the menu. My server was really nice and helpful. Food was fresh and hot but it did take a while to come out. I was unhappy I wasn’t able to enjoy my salad with biscuits as I’ve done for years due to the restaurant not being able to keep up with the biscuit demand. I still like this place and will continue to go and mainly because the really nice manager came to the table and was asking questions which was really cool and it shows he cares. My server did bring me some vanilla cream since it did take long to get food etc. The Purple Haze drink by Dre and Snoop is absolutely DELICIOUS!!!

It’s my 31st Birthday today! First one without my Dad. Andrew has such a welcoming, kind, and gentle presence. He reminds of me of how my dad was. Jazzy came and gave the same energy. I want to thank them from the bottom of my heart. I was about to shed some tears when she brought out the ice cream. Life is hard right now but coming here actually made me forget my troubles. Thank you to all the staff! Amazing experience!

Our server, Karina was great. She was super helpful and sweet. The manager, Andrew checked in with us as well. The food was also good. We ordered the bacon wrapped scallop & lobster dip for appetizers. I was craving surf and turf so I got the ultimate feast with lobster and a sirloin. We also got key lime pie for dessert. It was a great night out.
