Red Lobster Is IHOP With Shrimp

Did this place always suck this bad, or have my expectations risen over the years. I’ve had like three steaks there over the last couple of years, and all of them were on par with Waffle House’s offerings when you order steak and eggs. It’s insane that people consider Red Lobster to be a nice restaraunt. It’s like one level above Longjohn Silvers.

yeah. red lobster is not that great at all. Differences between that and IHOP:
IHOP is 24 hours Red Lobster gives you the biscuits. Red Loster has “seafood” IHOP has pancakes IHOP has a police officer on weekends and late at night.
That is about it.

Red Lobster was at one point good? Maybe I’m spoiled being from/in New England - that place has always been considered a frozen chain cheap place like an olive garden or a Denny’s - an “imitation” of a real seafood restaurant.
I can’t even remember seeing a Red Lobster anywhere around here… probably too hard to break into the market given all the seafood places here in Boston and along the coast in CT where I’m from.
Come to Boston, go to a Legal Seafood restaurant and enjoy the wicked good chowdah and lobstah. :)

Be careful lest you be stalked by a Red Lobster proprieter like my friend The League ( http://melbotis.blogspot.com/2007/04/johnny-clambake-contd.html ).

Olive Garden is owned by the same company who owns Red Lobster (as well as Longhorn Steakhouse and a few others that I can’t recall and my significant other — Longhorn manager — is asleep). I wouldn’t eat at any of ‘em if I didn’t get it free. =)
