The best time to vfisit red lobster is in between lunch and dinner. You tend to get the best service..the food is prepared better...I went once at dinner time and several times as soon as they opened and the service was better right at open time cuz they aren't that busy. I would have to say this red lobster is a hit and miss depends on who is cooking...1st time was ok (nite) 2nd time was great service and food (open) 3 rd time was just ok service was slow and the food wasn't all that great (open on a sunday)
