The best seafood in Bakersfield?!  Are you kidding me?  There is no other seafood place in Bakersfield better than the Red Lobster?

I have been to the Red Lobster twice.  The first time my food was barely edible.  I honestly don't remember what I had it was so long ago.  My daughter had fish tacos and they were pretty good.  The second time there were 6 of us.  My dish (scallops) were overdone and I could not eat them.  The other plates were all overcooked too and tasteless.  I did complain, something I never do unless it is really bad.  The chef came out and took one look at the food on our plates and comped the meal including the drinks.  I have no idea why he could not see what was coming out of the kitchen.  Red Lobster is not the place to go if you want seafood.  I have not been back and will not go back.  I wish to heck that King Seafood was coming to town as promised.

I will admit that the biscuits are awesome.

Perhaps I am a bit spoiled, because the last time I had lobster, it was at Warren's Lobster House in Kittery, Maine.  And the food at Red Lobster doesn't even compare to a true lobster restaurant in New England.  My belief is this--if a business proclaims itself to be an authentic restaurant with the best products to offer, that business ought to be held to to that desired standard.

For those of us with trained and discerning palates, Red Lobster is nothing more than another lame Darden Restaurant.

But those biscuits are awesome.

Red Lobster is a great place to eat, and to work.  I am a Server Certified Trainer there now and for the last three years I have seen the company get better and better.  Yes is it expensive, but the value for what you get is phenomenal.  We charge $35.00 for our steak and lobster, and at some of the other "better" restuarants in town you have to pay $60 for the same quality and usaully even less quantity.  Not everything can be fresh because of the volume of gueststhat we serve, but you can't go wrong with fresh fish (2 days out of the water), or live maine lobster, hand-breaded shrimp, and fresh baked biscuits.  And how many places include a salad with your dinner anymore?  Not many that I have been to.  We are also offered much better benefits than most restaurants are willing to provide, even for part-time employees.  I hope that anyone who reads this will come in and give us a chance to give a you a great experience, and if you ask for me, MISTY, I promise to give my best service, and treat you as well as I would hope to be treated if I was spending my family's hard earned money.
