At Red Lobster, we don’t just serve your seafood favorites—we serve an experience that makes you happy. That can’t-stop-smiling, pass-the-Cheddar Bay Biscuits kind of happy. We call it Reel Happiness. It’s the joy that comes when the lobster hits the table, the shrimp hits just right, and the butter’s perfect for double-dipping. Whether you’re celebrating a milestone or just indulging on any given day, every visit feels like an occasion even if there isn’t one. So pull up a chair, grab a biscuit (or three). We’ve got seafood, smiles, and good vibes. Come experience Reel Happiness at your Bakersfield Red Lobster.

Then the greeters, Caitlin and Emmalee
beautiful smiles and very sweet
My server Mandy, has spirit of God in her. Beautiful smile, kind heart, excellent server, very attentive. The next server, Crysta, was greeter, All kept the tables cleared off while doing other jobs. Delicious outstanding food from biscuits to dessert.
I am here by myself. Celebrating my birthday. Celebrating the move to a new home. Celebrating a move from a trailer to a newly remodeled classroom. Leaving 3 hours later very happy and content. Leaving with new family of Red Lobster people. Put Mandy’s picture on the wall please.
Sherrie’s positive attitude and friendly personality really stood out. She made us feel valued as guests, not just another table. Even when the restaurant was busy, she stayed calm, professional, and efficient. It’s clear she truly cares about providing excellent service.
Because of Sherrie, our visit to Red Lobster was more than just a meal — it was a great dining experience. We’ll definitely be back and hope to sit in her section again!
We waited an unreasonable amount of time just to place our order, and things only got worse from there. Our drinks sat empty for most of the meal because she never checked on us or offered refills. Each time we did manage to flag her down, she would quickly say something like, “Let me go clean this table real quick,” or “Let me go take care of this table and I’ll be right back.” The problem is, she never actually came back. We kept waiting and waiting, feeling ignored while she continued tending to other tables.
Customer service should make guests feel welcome and valued, but this experience did the complete opposite. It felt like we were an inconvenience rather than paying customers. We weren’t asking for anything unreasonable — just basic attentiveness and courtesy — and even that seemed like too much to expect that night.
Overall, the lack of attention, long waits, and repeated excuses made for a very frustrating dining experience. I rarely leave negative reviews, but this visit left such a poor impression that I felt it was important to share. I truly hope management addresses this issue so future guests don’t have the same experience we did.
To top it all off, when we brought our concerns to the manager hoping the situation would be taken seriously, the resolution felt just as disappointing as the service. After explaining everything we experienced, all we were offered was 25% off our bill and a dessert. While that might sound like a nice gesture, it really didn’t make up for how poor the service was throughout the entire visit. It felt more like a quick attempt to smooth things over rather than a genuine effort to acknowledge or correct what went wrong.
Our waitress was INCREDIBLE though. She made our night. And the rolls. Gotta mention the rolls, they’re pretty good.
We paid with a gift card and I still don’t think it was worth it. The lobster was dry and flavor was not right. Usually, as long as the lobster carries the butter flavor, it can be good, but this couldn’t even rise to that level.
