Red Lobster - Clarksville

I typically share my thoughts here when something stands out, whether it's a negative or a positive experience. Tonight was definitely a positive one, starting from the welcoming host to my server, Heather, and the excellent quality of the food and ambiance. The flounder sandwich was served hot and fresh, and the side dishes were delicious as well. It was a simple, affordable meal that was perfectly satisfying in a cozy corner of the bar. It was exactly what I needed on a chilly evening.

I ordered the lobster linguine, and my mom opted for the surf and turf. I must say, my meal was fantastic! The balance of lobster to pasta was perfect, and the lobster was cooked beautifully. The sauce was delicious without being overbearing. I also tried their new snowglobe sangria, which was delightful; I would definitely recommend it, especially if you enjoy sweeter drinks. On the other hand, my mom was not satisfied with her meal. She chose mashed potatoes and broccoli as her sides, but found the broccoli too salty and ended up leaving it unfinished. Additionally, the steak she ordered was tough; although she requested it medium well, it did not meet her expectations. The manager addressed the issue well and replaced her steak with a medium-cooked one, although we took it to-go, so I’m not sure how it turned out. The only items my mom enjoyed were the lobster tail and mashed potatoes. If it weren't for her less-than-stellar experience, I would have given this place five stars.

If I could give zero stars, I would. Our server, Heather, seemed to be under the influence and was extremely inattentive. She came by only about four times and didn’t bring us the appetizer we ordered. Although we were promised a refund, we never received it. We will definitely not be returning! The food was also bland and soggy.

I just ordered from red lobster for the first time since moving out here and could not be more appalled. I almost want to go to my credit card company and report fraud for this order. 16 dollar shrimp and 14 dollar ceasers salad from red lobster. Horrendous prices for side size portions. Not to mention the shrimp are firmer, larger, and cheaper at panda express. This is borderline disrespectful delivering this to a customer. The 13 dollar stuffed mushrooms came with 6 baby mushrooms with cheese and breadcrumbs on top. Look at the photo with my hand for comparison reasons. And the new cheddar bay shrimp worked out to 2 dollars per shrimp.... For some soggy ass fried shrimp. I cannot speak on the crab legs I was told were fisher than used to others in my house ordered. The 8 dollar baked potato seemed like a horrible deal too. The chicken strips platter was actually a good value for the quantity but it 's freaking Tennessee, you can get chicken strips on any corner here. Calamari was also decent. TLDR: 2 OF MY 12 items were decent. Make sure to bring lube before you try to eat at this location, 1/2 ass quality and portions worse than some fast food chains at steakhouse prices.

Restaurant was very dirty. It was not very busy when we arrived but the host was on the phone for what seemed a long time before hanging up and saying Yes? As if annoyed we had been standing there waiting. We asked if we could sit at the bar and he said, at the bar is okay but all the tables are dirty . The bathroom was filthy. You cannot charge premium prices and have a gas station standard of cleanliness. We left.
