In Short
Admittedly kitschy, unavoidably noisy, this Red Lobster for rug rats is like an oversized seaside shanty awash in oceanic memorabilia--fishing nets, souvenir trinkets, plastic flotsam and jetsam. Staffed with a lively crew of G-rated table-dancing servers, the family-friendly chain anchors its menu in all things crab: Crab balls, crab cakes, crab dip, crab gumbo. Finicky children opt for corndogs or hamburgers; shellfish-phobic adults dine on rib eye steak or mesquite-grilled chicken.

I ordered the steampot and it had no flavor at all. It was totally BLAND. The staff was dead and the bathrooms were filthy. Will I be back? HONEY NOOOOO!

My husband and I had lunch here on Mother's Day. I settled on the crab cake sliders and he ordered the Steampot (crab legs, shrimp, sausage, etc.) My sliders were absolutely disgusting. I have never tasted crab that was so fishy in my life. Even canned crab has a better taste. We didn't think you could mess up crab legs, but boy, were we wrong! The first bunch tasted like Windex. They got better after that but were completely over seasoned with Old Bay. The best part of the meal were the french fries and the kid's pizza. Pretty sad coming for a so-called seafood restaurant. My husband ordered a beer and our server completely forgot about it until our food was brought out and we asked for it again. When he brought the beer over, he didn't ask how the food was. Not once were we asked if we liked it. We had a $50 bill after tip for a terrible meal. I will not be returning here again.

The food was good and we had a good host and waiter. The bathroom was cold. Parking could be a problem.
