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 Modesto Red Lobster.

Overall a good experience. The food was good and the service was nice. I got their new jambalaya, which had sausage and shrimp. I enjoyed the shrimp in the dish. The only critic I have, though, is that it is quite salty. The portion was a good size. I was able to finish it but felt pretty full. One person who went with me got a filet mignon with their order but they said it was tough. So maybe dont order that. We had to wait for some time, about 10-15 minutes, even though the restaurant was not crowded. There were plenty of tables open but i guess they had to clean a certain table before they could seat us. The waitress who served us was very sweet and helpful. I would come back. Pretty good experience.

I’ve visited once and got take out once since their rebranding and I can honestly say I’m extremely impressed! This store in particular provided AMAZING customer service, good food and drinks, was clean and much brighter than it was when we last visited a few years ago. I unfortunately did not get good pictures of the food but I’ll post the crappy pics I was able to take lol. I will say the sirloin is tasty but is definitely a little tough. Will continue to dine in and take out tho!

All the staff was so friendly and accommodating. They all smiled so nicely. We had the margaritas flight of 3. Each was a full tumbler of tasty cocktails. Happy hour was offered at table service. That unexpected but a nice option. Appetizers were bubbling hot and we ate the whole thing. It was so good. Dinner was delicious as expected. Of course we had no room left for dessert, but a complimentary birthday surprise was a nice touch.

Had a birthday dinner of flounder at Red Lobster with my family and our server was Michael. They have really improved their restaurant, new items on the menu. The meal was excellent, the service was excellent, very timely. I will definitely be going back soon, thank you Michael! 🙂 10/2025

Valentine’s Day is supposed to be a romantic day for most people. The biggest date night ever. Went to the Modesto Red lobster had a reservation at 5:30pm. Got there right on time but told it would be 1hr and half wait time still. We waited but never were called outside and the number they had for is was incorrect, they didn’t even confirm our phone number. Went inside and they had cancelled our space but luckily we were able to still be seated. Sat and the server Laura was awesome very knowledgeable, we got drinks ordered appetizer and dinner. Got our drinks and biscuits but waited for almost a half hour for our mushroom appetizer. Finally got it and it was good then waited for our food. It was still over an hour and half and still no food. All the servers could say was they were really behind on orders. It was almost 9pm. Told the manager we wanted to cancel and pay for what we had, she comped our drinks and appetizer and we left. That was the worst Valentine’s ever we ended up going to McDonald’s and drove home which was another 45 min away. Worst wait time I have ever seen I don’t know if I will go back and give them another shot. They need to hire new cooks.

Had a wonderful experience at Red Lobster! The food was absolutely delicious, fresh, and perfectly prepared. What truly made our visit special was our waitress, Calley—she was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made us feel so welcomed from start to finish. Her great service really elevated our entire dining experience. We’ll definitely be back!

We went to this location for the first time. The service was great, the food was okay for me because my fish was a little bit too salty but my husband liked his chicken.
We like the biscuits, warm and tasty.

Got the two lobster tail, one is better than the other. Forgot the name. Not entirely blown away by the lobster tail, but the service team was nice and the restaurant was clean. The free biscuits are still good.

We had a wonderful experience at Red Lobster! The food was exactly what we were hoping for—fresh, flavorful, and served hot. The biscuits were perfectly warm and buttery, and each dish came out quickly and well-prepared.
What really stood out, though, was our server kassandra. She was outstanding from start to finish—welcoming, patient, and genuinely kind. She took the time to explain menu items, gave helpful recommendations, and made sure our table had everything we needed without us ever having to ask. Her attention to detail and friendly attitude made the meal feel relaxed and enjoyable.
It’s rare to come across service that leaves such a lasting impression, but Cassandra truly made our visit memorable. We’ll definitely be coming back, and we’ll be asking for her again!

My daughter was craving lobster tail, she ordered shrimp linguini Alfredo & a lobster tail, wife had the house salad, bacon mac and cheese. I ordered the bacon cheese burger.
Wife and daughter said their food was good/OK. The cheese burger was bland, it was missing mayonnaise and pickles, but the bacon was tasty and properly cooked.
Josh did a great job serving our table.
