    Great atmosphere, great food, excellent value for the money. I arrived early and was immediately seated. My waitress was very knowledgeable and helpful in making a meal selection. First class all the way.

    It's a Saturday night in Williamsburg, Va. I expected the place to be packed. It wasn't. There were so few servers, some people had to wait 45 min for a table in a nearly empty restaurant. Our server was overworked. I noticed a sign up front indicating the place wanted to hire a bar tender. Evidently there wasn't one. Our server said she was willing to learn how to make a martini for me. I decided on the unsweet tea. We were celebrating my wife's birthday. The meal was very good. Our server was overworked, too many tables. So service was slow. But I felt for her. I'd hate to work in a place like that!

    First of all, we showed up and no one was at the front. After 5-10 minutes a rushed manager? Told us it’s a 20 minute wait, we were finally able to get a word in and say we had booked through open table and she stopped talking and got us a table. Bit weird, but I guess they were busy so we rolled with it. Our waiter was extremely friendly (tall gentleman with long hair) and did a fantastic job to try and provide good service, but it was obvious he was being pulled in many directions. Unfortunately the kitchen wasn’t helping him either. Our crab legs were overdone and literally the meat was rubber. We never send food back but had to. The crab legs that came out next the meat was of a mealy consistency and my fiancée said she couldn’t eat them due to the fishy smell. She loves crab legs so this was abnormal. We both had pretty bad stomach pain last night and early this morning and I’m hoping it’s not from the crab. The stuffed flounder entree tasted fine and had no complaints. Overall, not worth the $110 I spent, however props to the server for doing his best. I felt bad for the guy, many tables were complaining about the food.

    My spouse is in a wheelchair. When we approached the door there were 5 high school aged teens gathered around the hostess stand. The doors are not automatic so we were having a difficult opening the doors and moving thru them. The teens stood there most of them watching us struggle. Then another customer that was inside realized our difficulty and he then stood up and helped us. These kids are more interested in their hair then their jobs. And most should wear hair nets as their hair was much longer than the rest of the staff. When we called out for service a new shift manager came to us. We explained the door difficulty, the lack of greeting and the delay in getting seated. As the meal progressed some of the teens started clearing the messy tables all around us food bits were flying everywhere! The carpet sweeper was left jutting out in the walk area and I tripped on it. To top it all off one of the teens threw the wipe rag like a basket ball to another teen. The restaurant food was very good but these teens need a lot more training and should only be scheduled individually not is flocks of 5 or 6. Potentially wonderful dinner soured by sloppy, untrained, long haired immature teens that only move to look busy when a supervisor is near.

    Everything was good and as expected except the call ahead seating which is not as expected and for all intents and purposes doesn’t really exist, so don’t bother with it.

    Staffing issues led to slow service. There were no table setups when we were seated. When I asked for them I was told there were none and that they were washing silverware as fast as they could. Despite the difficulties our server was as attentive as he could be and was friendly. The manager was also waiting tables and making drinks. All in all, it wasn't the worst experience but far from the best. I hope the staffing issues improve.

    Front of the house manager was not very accommodating to the open table priority seating. This location does not except priority seating on waiting list on Friday -Saturday which was not mentioned upon setting up. Will not go here again. Manager was rude and accused me of being selfish trying to understand when I drove 1.5 hours to meet my son who works on Naval base Norfolk.

    Obviously they are short staffed but they are very concerned that delays are explained. I don’t understand the priority seating policy. It clearly doesn’t work. If a customer can make an advanced notice that a table is needed at a specific time why can’t a table be waiting when one arrives. Many people ahead of us were disappointed and left before their table was ready. Even with our priority seating slot we still waited nearly 25 minutes to be seated. There were errors in our order but they were corrected with apologies and quick actions.

    Great food, wonderful service and nice, quiet delightful ambience. There was a little "blip" at the beginning because the flatware was still being washed so the food came before the flatware and napkins, but our servers were so attentive and apologetic that we could only smile. Food, as always, was delicious and plentiful.

    Very understaffed. (Of course this is a national issue). Staff did well considering the staffing issue even with people complaining about the wait. Before you complain, you should work a service or retail job for a few months. Restaurant was definitely too cold. The lobsters might like that but us humans don’t. Food was good.

    It started bad with having to wait 15 minutes before anyone even spoke to us about getting a table and it was a manager. He was lost at the front desk. Finally got seated server was great, food was nothing special. Went to pay bill at table on the little game device and it was not our bill but the waiter got that fixed. Will not go there again.

    Our waitress was the very best! She was delightful. The hostess that treated us was not so good. Upon arrival she told us we would have a 45 min wait. Now I know that they don’t take reservations but they do take priority seating. Don’t really understand the difference. And my husband has dementia and a 45 min wait is out of question due to his anxiety level in crowded area. Which brings me to the point that social distancing was not being done nor we reminders to the waiting patrons that masks were required. For the above reasons we won’t head back to red lobster any time soon. Only bright point was our waitress.

    Lobster promotion is a good value. Manager of the restaurant made the rounds to all the tables to be sure all customers we pleased. That was a very pleasant addition to a very nice meal. Way to go Red Lobster!!

    Crab legs were difficult to open. Tools for the crab legs inadequate. Over all though it was very enjoyable.
