So it’s not Endless Shrimp after all?
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.
Sign of our declining times
the victim of endless shrimp and
large purses
Bidenomics.
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.
A hallmark of Generica
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.
They’ve been terrible for decades, so they shouldn’t blame anything but themselves.
Women, minorities, and crustaceans hardest hit.
Is this the type where a restaurant chain is “in bankruptcy” but continues to operate, just not paying creditors and old bills they owe”
Endless shrimp is insane...bread, salad, or pasta are much better ideas to convince people they won’t leave hungry. But shrimp?
Was it them, Yogi?
Won’t miss ‘em. Ate in one in Michigan once. Yuck! Never again.
In its best years, Red Lobster was the pioneer chain operator of upper end seafood restaurants. Eventually, the market Red Lobster appealed to fragmented and diminished, with seafood becoming available in many other restaurants, dress up going by the wayside, and alcohol and bar service becoming the key to profitability. Red Lobster's corporate parent will survive in that they wisely branched out and developed other restaurant chains that continue to be successful.
So giving away shrimp as a loss leader wasn’t a good idea?
WHOODA THUNK? /s
Woke, young idiots elevated to positions of authority - likely in part via DIE - killed Red Lobster.
Though this case pleases me, there’s a lesson in there from K-12 through all the crap colleges, but it was the idiots at Golden Gate Capital who ultimately stuck a fork in Red Lobster.

Oh, and perhaps stating the obvious, they are San Francisco-based.
Who the hell at GGC or RL didn’t see this coming?
If I had holdings in either, the lawsuits would be flying.
