3 in my town, one we have actually patronized a couple of times in the last 6 months with the service and food quality at a more than acceptable level.
That particular location has been there since at least the early 80s so they must have been doing something right. A shame really.

It’s probably the best seafood chain restaurant in their price range. The better ones are pricier. Seems like they should be able to make money with the right management.

They can fix "all you can eat shrimp" very easily. Charge the normal price for the shrimp dinner of your choice, and charge $3 for each subsequent shrimp 'refill.'
That way you can try a few different types of shrimp, and Ded Lobster doesn't go broke.
My two sons would go to all you can eat Shrimp days and I swear they'd eat $100 worth of shrimp apiece.

Cheap horrible place. Glad to see it go. I went in 2020 and was unimpressed.

What they need to do is get bought by a private equity company using debt financing.
That way the CEO and top officers can be paid off along with the lawyers, accountants, and private equity officers because they're going to "add value" to Red Lobster.
Then they "add value" by firing lots of people, cutting the quality and quantity of food, and basically cutting corners as much as possible in order to service the debt.
Then when Red Lobster goes away they can blame the last CEO standing rather than the private equity firm that executed a perfect skim operation.

Sorry, what do large purses have to do with this?

I took my wife to a Red Lobster one time. Both the food and the service were awful. I recall having to practically beg for some butter to add some flavor to the dry overcooked lobster tail I was served. I can’t understand how they survived as long as they did. Perhaps the unsophisticated American palette allowed it.

One bad meal doesn’t define a restaurant my friend.
Everything has a reject rate.
Not everyone is a world class gastronome as you apparently are. LOL!

As part of an organization I'm in charge of, we have a meeting once a month at our County Seat. Wifey always wants to go to the Red Lobster there before the meeting, so we do.
Last Tuesday, we went, and neither of us were feeling like fish, so we both decided to see what a Red Lobster burger was like. They're actually pretty good, HOWEVER, wifey ordered stuffed mushroom appetizer, so between the mushrooms, two burgers with only side salads, and two ice teas, plus tip, was 70 freakin' bucks!
Wifey has permanently written off Red Lobster.

They’ve been terrible for decades, so they shouldn’t blame anything but themselves.
