I never thought I’d take the time to sit and write a review about Red Lobster, but when it popped up on Menuism I thought the one in Ames is worth noting. I can’t stay away from the Lobster because the cheesy biscuits drive me insane! Greasy goodness.

I’m a little embarrassed to tell you all that I’ve been to my fair share of Red Lobsters. I don’t know where I was going with that…anyways, out of all the RLs I’ve been to the one in Ames sets itself apart with cleanliness and good service. Given, RL in Ames is more on the high end of dining (it’s a college town full of fast food, buffets and a few gems), but regardless it still does an above average job.

My goal of this small review is to say if you generally find Red Lobster iffy, but you like seafood, the location in Ames does an above average job of making chain and seafood work as one. Obviously it’s not the Oceanaire, but in a town with very little seafood this Red Lobster will do.
