Red Lobster IL: Reviews & Ratings
Portions are great and I love the steak and dockside burger they are both so good! I don't do seafood but honestly RL isn't the best for it anyway
Was seated immediately. Kelly was a marvelous waitress! I got no cheese biscuits!!! Had a hot n delicious meal plus a brownie dessert. I'd prefer more spices esp garlic but it was delicious!
The food is outstanding! It's pricy but worth it. There were two of us that shared 4 choices shrimp feast. Yummy
Came here for dinner while we were in Rockford to attend a concert at a local venue. Upon arriving, we were graciously greeted by one of the staff. We only had to wait a few minutes to get a table, but while we waited, we had a drink in the bar. The bartender was very cheerful and courteous. She even took our photo (which we requested). When we were finally seated, our server made sure our drinks were fresh, and we ordered an appetizer. She was very outgoing, and made us feel at home. For an appetizer, we selected the lobster dip, which was scrumptious. And for our entrées...the new Lobster & Shrimp Feast. They were hot, fresh, and very delicious. Our server also was very attentive during our meal, making sure that our visit was pleasant and enjoyable. Looking over the previous reviews of other patrons, we figured this location must be under new management, because we found no similar deficiencies. If I'm in the area I definitely will be making a return trip.
