Best Shellfish Restaurants in South Plainfield

First time at red lobster, food and service A+

It was great. We really enjoyed the experience. The waitress was really nice.

We were seated promptly in a spacious booth. Our server was pleasant and efficient. The food was well prepared and fairly priced.

The hostess cancelled my rsvp when I called & told her I was running a few minites late & was driving. I had to pull over & reenter my reservation. She cancelled it again. ??? Had to pull over & add again...I think she finally got it, that I was on my way.

Red Lobster South Plainfield, NJ is a good choice! We ordered two very good meals, the Seafarer's Feast and the Mariner's Feast (both in the $30.00 price range.) One platter was Fried Shrimp, grilled Maine Lobster tail, Garlic Shrimp, and a skewer of 4 fantastic scallops. The other was Fried Shrimp, the skewer of scallops, and Salmon topped with Langostino sauce. Each came with a choice of two sides and the Cheddar Bay biscuits. Our choices were garden salad and mashed potatoes. Everything was very good! Our waiter was new but very concerned about doing a good job; he checked with us several times, and I also heard him asking another customer if his cocktail had come out the way he requested. That customer was also very satisfied and joked with the server. Another server who recognized us (I was surprised by that), came over just to ask how our grandchildren were doing because she remembered their photos from a previous visit. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. The only real drawback to most of the Red Lobster chain is the somewhat dated decor. I can live with that.
