Yes. I visited Boston and had a meal at Durkin Park (I believe that was the name). Now that was seafood!
Give us your recipe for Lobster Roll.
My restaurant used to be the one we went to celebrate anything worth celebrating.
The food sucks. the atmosphere sucks and just not worth it anymore.
No more good fish restaurants that I know of.
>please let Texas Roadhouse survive..<
YES!
Red Lobster, “where we prepare seafood as if we were cooking a bottom round steak.”
Pure, unadulterated dreck.
And that was a prime date spot back in the day if you wanted to impress a gal.
[Being a native coastal New Englander I am of course biased, but Red Lobster’s seafood was terrible. Never went into one again after my first try]
I live in catfish country so real saltwater fish is something of beach vacations except for Red Lobster.
One of the two locations across the river in Columbus, Georgia got some negative publicity for one of those phone-recorded brawls that break out in places like Chuck E Cheese (I was not involved ... that time). Both locations are still in business.
Red Lobster is the K-mart of restaurants.
I am surprised they are still around.
Seems like they stopped advertising in 1978.
If you’re going to be disrespected and abused, you might as well stay home.

I loved The No Name Restaurant for sea food.

You may not know how corp america works, but when you get bought/sold a few times, you usually end up with *more* debt than when you started as leverage is part of the gameplan
Personally, I prefer independent Mexican restaurants.
The quality is there. And the prices tend to be reasonable.
Durgin Park. World famous for well over a century. Superb steaks and seafood, but expensive. I heard that it closed a few years ago. I also heard that Jake Worth's is closed. Legal Seafood may still be there. Left Boston in 1977, have never gone back.
We loved a place on the wharfs called the "no-name" because it literally had no name and no sign. Workingman's seafood. Cheap, big portions, open 24/7. My band would sometimes go there at 3 AM after a gig. Its' best feature was that the fishing boats unloaded right into the back of the place. Fish has to be fresh, but everything at Red Lobster was frozen.
Ditto!
Lobster roll was for tourists. I never ate one.
Then PC invaded the food world and everything was grilled, baked, or boiled... and the prices went through the roof.
Red Lobster became the Penney's of sit-down dining: Too expensive for the average family, and too down market for the well-to-do.
I went to a local Red Lobster about 3 weeks ago. First time in about 3 years. Average menu items were around $30. I ordered the Admiral’s Feast—essentially all items deep fried. I was looking forward to their cheesy biscuits, which I really liked 3 years ago, but they didn’t arrive until I was about 3/4 ths through my dinner, and they were cold when they did come. The Admiral’s Feast was only so-so. The worst part was later that night I had food poisoning and was barfing my guts out for 4 hours. Maybe I should get in line before the bankruptcy gets too far along.
