An allergen file was given and I had the grilled option of lobster, shrimp & baked potato, very nice!!
They have a few different choices. They have come out with a new menu but don’t have a gluten free menu so they gave me the allergy list binder so I had to play detective to figure out what I could have. I ended doing the pick 2 main dishes and a side combo. I had shrimp scampi with steam broccoli. That was enough for me and tasted great!
I haven't been to Red Lobster in years. I asked for the allergen guide and they brought me a notebook with all the major allergies. They even had a column that indicated a higher level of possible cross-contamination because of how it's prepared. I got a loaded baked potato and coleslaw (neither marked for cross-contamination). I did not get sick. It's good to know that's an option if needed.
Allergen binder provided upon request, server seemed half-knowledgable but nice about it. Not sure if sensitivity was noted to kitchen or not, but he asked regarding gluten in the dish I had wanted (it was from the orzo rice, which I don't want anyways). I've always gotten the scallop & shrimp skewers with double scallops instead, no rice. The binder was a little long and overwhelming, no dedicated menu, but it works. Don't feel the best after the meal, but maybe it was just from all the oils.
Years ago they were good. Now they’re terrible. Staff had no understanding of gluten issues, food was terrible with small portions, everything is overpriced, & manager didn’t care about customer concerns. The chain’s going bankrupt for a reason. Run away.
I ordered grilled salmon, steamed broccoli and baked potato butter on the side. The portions were huge with at least 4 ounces of salmon each and took home leftovers for another meal. My dinner was good and refrained from the awesome smelling biscuits due to gluten.
Our server Emily brought me an allergy menu, which was really helpful. She made sure my shrimp wasn’t served with rice as it contains orzo.
Food was good but got glutened by them. I told the server I had a severe gluten allergy and she told me everything I ordered was safe. My shrimp skewer came over rice that had orzo pasta mixed in it. Best part was she told me orzo was just healthier rice
Waiter was very knowledgeable and what he wasn't sure about, he went and asked. Got the snow crab legs with crispy potatoes. It was amazing and did not disappoint! They also have crustless cheesecake, but I didn't have room to try it.
I had an absolutely fantastic meal here. Every single measure was taken to avoid cross-contact. They brought all of my food was brought to the table first management over saw every single aspect of my dinning experience and honesty treated me better than I have ever been treated in an establishment pre or post celiac. The staff says this is an newly implemented precaution. It provided an amazing experience. The food was wonderful.
They provided a large spreadsheet with a checklist of applicable common dietary restrictions for every menu item. I didn’t think it was too difficult to comprehend especially if you have a general idea of what you want to eat (but I’m also an engineer). The food was very good!
My salmon and loaded baked potato were incredible. However, it took an hour to get our food. I don’t know if that’s a fluke or no.
Also, it is so hard to navigate the allergen menu. It would be nice if they could label on menu.
Notify waitress about allergies and gf, "ask chef to prevent cross contamination". I ask for specific meals specify specifics: no onions no garlic no soy no eggs (anything I can't have can't be on the grill. My meal is: Broiled Trout with no seasoning, or snow crab, baked plain potato (no butter, only canola oil on the side), orange slices on the side. No salad
Haven’t had an issues after eating. I do only order the endless shrimp. I get the scampi and grilled skewer. They do have an online allergen menu though. All wait staff seem to understand what the allergy is and never seem to frustrated about it.
I clearly stated no gluten or dairy. My salad came out with croutons. Waitress was not knowledgeable and did not seem to take my intolerances seriously when i ordered. No gf menu except they hand you an allergy guide to go through.
We have always gone to Red Lobster for my dad's birthday and this time was the 1st time I couldn't eat gluten. Our server was knowledgeable and anything he was unsure about he was willing to find out for me. Red Lobster also has an interactive online menu with potential allergens in there most common dishes, which I had looked through ahead of time. Of course with most non-dedicated establishments, they state there's always a risk for cross- contamination. I got a special of garlic butter crab legs that come on a bed of crispy potatoes. I also got a side salad w/ ranch and the server assured me that that there would be no croutons on my salad. Everything tasted great and I had no symptoms.
They had a menu with every allergen listed. They listened to all my special requests. It was delicious and I didn’t get sick after.
Crab your way, shrimp scampi, baked potato. Very helpful with allergen menu and a dedicated space and process for preventing cross contamination. Delicious too!
I asked our waiter multiple questions about gluten free options and cross contamination. He gave me their nutritional binder that stated what was gluten free. I ordered a side salad and asked for no croutons. It came out with croutons so I told them I needed a new salad - they removed the croutons and gave me the same salad back. I told them again I needed a new salad cause of the bread crumbs. By the third time they had it corrected. I ordered shrimp, lobster, and scallops and told them to hold any orzo rice. My plate came out with several orzo rice grains on it. They were great about me ordering and looking through their nutrition binder but AWFUL about cross contamination!
This is my kids favorite place to eat. They have an allergen menu and IF your server indicates an allergy, the food comes out seperately. I have had very mixed results on if the server will actually mark it as an allergy (even when I have explicitly asked them to do so). We've gone several times (again, kids favorite place to eat...) and I would say I've only had the food come out seperately twice (and once, only half of it).
We also keep getting the same server, and they seem pretty annoyed by my questions (me), so the experience may be different with a more accommodating server.
Not celaic safe. Ordered grilled shrimp, steamed crab, broccoli and coleslaw and said gluten free was required (even specified cealic) and they served the shrimp over a orzo.
We requested it be remade, again specified gluten free and asked them to make sure it was remade and not just put onto a new plate without the orzo.
They brought a new order a bit later and my wife started eating because it looked okay. After eating a bit she picked up a peice of brocoli and underneath it was orzo clearly indicating they just moved everything to a new plate... She picked up one of the grilled shrimp skewers and stuck to the bottom of it was more orzo... She got sick.
We asked for her meal to be removed from the bill and the manager belittled us saying we should have known the grilled items come on top of orzo (the menu did not indicate that) and that we should have told the server of the allergy (we did multiple times).
Would not recommend. The staff has no idea what they're doing and the management is incompetent.
I had the boiled snow crab legs with drawn butter. I had a baked potato and broccoli for my sides. I got extra drawn butter for my baked potato. Everything was very good and I didn't have any issues. They have an allergen menu which includes gluten.
Will update if things change, but so far so good! They have a highly detailed allergen notebook that lists what is safe for numerous allergies. Asked for all the extra precautions and they assured me they have an allergen protocol in the kitchen. Ordered garlic shrimp scampi and a loaded baked potato. No signs of sickness yet and it was delicious!
I asked the server if there was any gf options (there was) she gave me a separate menu which listed different allergens, so i ordered a fish plate. I was worried about cross contamination but the manager assured me they 'clean' the grills and stuff. Anyways i was not even halfway through my meal when i started to feel sick. I stayed sick for about a week. Needless to say this place is not safe to eat at!
Food was so gross. Told the waiter I had an allergy, they gave me a binder with the list of allergens. Ordered a gluten free entree. My plate came out with breaded shrimp and rice/orzo which was not gluten free or what I ordered. They said they would remake it which took about 20 minutes. The food was absolutely disgusting. I will never eat here again. Place was dirty too.
Will work with you, but need to ask about foods.
The staff was very helpful answering my questions about the menu. I got the 8oz sirloin with mashed potatoes and it was delicious!
The was one of best experiences I have ever had. From the waiter to the manager. I ordered the Ultimate Feast without the Walter shrimp. I made sure to tell the waiter to please make sure the cook knew my plate needed to be gluten free. When it came out it did have the rice on it that was not gluten free. The waiter immediately took the plate back and made sure the cooks knew it was wrong. They remade the whole plate. The manager came out and apologized for their mistake. They double checked their list for gluten free foods and it showed it contained gluten. We check it with the list online that said the rice was gluten free. She said she would email them to let them know the online list was wrong. They took responsibility for the mistake and said they were sorry. The manager was very worried about me getting sick. It is very rare to have a restaurant to do all that they did to make me feel and be safe. If you have Celiac and go to Las Vegas, I highly recommend this Red Lobster.
Be careful. They have an allergy menu that list options for items that don’t have gluten in the ingredients. But the food preparation isn’t considered. Example - the fries are prepared in a shared fryer but listed as gluten free. I asked the waitress and she checked/ verified this for me. She was good and helpful.
Lots of options from fresh fish, shrimp, steak and crab legs. French fries are marked GF. Several options of appetizers and entrées.
I was provided an allergy menu and was able to select a great dinner from that. I went with the pick two dinner and had double shrimp scampi with steamed broccoli (I was told the broccoli is steamed in an unopened bag) and mashed potatoes. It was very good and I have had no issues. I waited until the next morning to write this review to be sure.
As a newly diagnosed celiac I was nervous about eating out its been almost 1 year. I told the waitress and she showed me their complete allergy menu that is very helpful showing not only gluten but also dairy and soy for everything on the menu. I left happy and not sick! Will be back!
Not safe for celiacs. They have an interactive allergy menu which I thought was great. I told the waitress about needing to make sure I didn’t receive gluten. Did not matter. Something had gluten in it. I was sick and swelling up before I left the restaurant. I’m in so much pain now.
Just ate at Red Lobster. The gluten-free options were good. The food was yummy. No reactions, feeling good.
I went with my family. When I told the waitress that I had celiac they took it very seriously. This isn't my first time here. I've went multiple times and haven't had a problem. They provide a booklet showing what each item has in it. Such as wheat, gluten, dairy, nuts, etc. They also told the cooks I had celiac and even came back and double checked to make sure the butter was safe so they could cook my Salmon with it. I definitely would recommend.
Got their allergy Book. Page after page item by item. Picked 3 items listed as gluten free of sorts. I started having a stomach ache in 20 minutes. Made sure waiter knew it was an allergy too. Don’t trust them.
No separate GF menu, no markings on the menu, but there is a separate binder that gives you detailed, nutrition and safety information binder to review individual dishes. If you choose carefully, that is grilled proteins, as well as vegetables and salads, You can have a fine meal here.
Had an amazing shrimp scampi dinner. They have an allergen menu where you can see your options. There was quite a bit available for choices. The staff was knowledgeable and happy to accommodate.
The manager will make any entrees gluten free
Dedicated GF
My daughter went to the deer park red lobster with her cousin on 3/5/2023 Sunday evening. My daughter has celiac and she asked the waiter for gluten free menu. She ordered a cocktail shrimp and a salad without croutons. She double checked with the waiter to make sure do not put croutons inside her salad because she has “gluten allergy”. However when the waiter put the salad on the table and there were crotons inside the salad. My daughter asked the waiter to replace it so she can safely eat her salad. The waiter was “nice” and took the salad back. After 5 min and he came back with a new salad without croutons. My daughter felt suspicious for some reason so she didn’t eat the salad. Her cousin ate the whole salad, but guess what she found when she almost finished her salad? Few pieces of croutons at the bottom of the salad! So I assume the waiter took the salad with croutons to the back and took out the croutons with his hands and gave the salad back to my daughter! This waiter has no professional ethics. He could make someone has allergy super sick! I strongly feel this must was not his first time do this and he also is not the only waiter does this. This is horrible business and Red Lobster needs to train their employees! I’m happy that my daughter didn’t eat it, otherwise today she could end up on bathroom floor or hospital!
Upon request for a gluten free menu, the manager brought me the complete allergy guide and made sure I knew how to read and understand it. Not a lot of options, but there is lobster of course salmon, fish, and steak. Sides include potatoes, fries, broccoli, etc. I did notice grilled chicken tenders on the kids menu, I'm quite sure they would allow an adult to get those also. Most of the things that you can get with lobster, lobster tacos, lobster loaded potato etc are not gluten free, I assume due to the creamy sauce the lobster is mixed with. While I am sure there is cross contamination since there is nothing about a separate fryer, I feel safe because they are aware, but for a celiac I would avoid all fried foods
Not a lots of options, but I went with the steak and it was delicious! Staff was helpful
No cross contamination food was delicious, gluten free menu available per website or gf apps. Everything was amazing!
Terrible, they have “gluten free” menu but they don’t put forth any effort to keep food from cross contamination, they don’t even carry the gluten free noodles. Ordered shrimp scampi, twice. First time it was great food but if I’m not on meds for diet I would be hating and having a gluten attack where my hands elbows, knees and face breakout with sores. Second time they just didn’t give me any noodles. Wouldn’t have ordered it the 2nd time, but we had a nice long conversation about making sure there’s no gluten. It’s a “FAIL”!!!
Ordered the Cajun salmon with shrimp (pictured on menu) had broccoli and a salad (no croutons) with it. Tasted very good! The server checked some sheets of paper stapled together to make sure it was gluten free!
Asked hostess for a gluten-free menu. Did not receive one. Asked the waiter for a gf menu. He returned with an allergy reference guide. Tried to quickly find something to eat. Waiter was not familiar with the new menu and gf so just ordered a side salad without croutons and honey mustard dressing. Salad did not come out with group’s meal. Reminded what the order was and about allergy. Got glutened.
No gluten free menu, handed a to go binder and had to go through every column and page to find safe items.
I was offered stuffed mushrooms and mozzarella sticks and given biscuits ------are they GF? No? Then why are you asking me or putting it in front of me???
Food came out and mine was wrong but I had seen it was safe on the list, the server said it wasn't because she knew for sure that it had breadcrumbs! She then went and had my correct order made.
I had to look online for gf options but their steak and potatoes were great! No cross contamination
They took care to make sure they understood my allergy. Our server took time to double check my food. I didn’t have a reaction!!!
The waitress responded to me with, “I am trained in GF service. Let me get you a GF menu.” Then she returned with a notebook that I had to cipher for myself. She did assure me that my food was prepared on a clean surface, with clean gloves and utensils. No salad or desert was GF.
