My employees tell me "Your food should be on the menu"

I'm a culinary manager at one of the Red Lobsters. My location is one of 9 "training" locations. We train newly hired managers and send them to their home store. This is one of everyones favorites I make. It's a steak sandwhich with Honey BBQ with a BBQ mayo and a side of garlic fries.

Edit: Everyone has another favorite which is a cajun honey chicken sandwhich with ranch drizzled over it. 😁

So yesterday I went in to experience the promotion and I was disappointed. The shrimp linguine was overly salted and I barely touched it. The shrimp scampi was minuscule and buttery but there was no garlic or any other seasoning to be tasted. The marry me shrimp was basically bland and the Walt's shrimp was overly overly salted.

The only shrimp I was really satisfied with was the coconut shrimp surprisingly and that was despite it having some unexpected spice thrown in. Now contrary to my previous descriptions I'm not really finicky or difficult when it comes to food but as someone who has not come into Red Lobster for a long time I'm wondering if I'm the only one that has had this experience.

Question for red lobster employees

I’m wondering how Mother’s Day was at your restaurant?!Did your GM make you guys offer the endless shrimp too?

Also does your restaurants have the rule that an 8 top has to be shared between 2 servers? My GM says it’s a corporate rule but I don’t believe it lol

Anyone else going for Mother's Day?

My whole family loves Red Lobster. Me (though I really only like the Cheddar Biscuits), my mother, my brother, his wife, and my girlfriend are all going for Mother's Day tomorrow. What does everyone's Mother's Day orders look like?

OK , which stores are shutting down tomorrow.

As was the case last year day after mother's Day I suspect several dozen more stores will be closing curious if anyone's heard anything from management anyone got any recommendations on which stores can be closed all I know is this chain used to be a great place to work for but now I'm working with broken unskilled unmotivated zombies and it's literally is one of the worst mother's Days I've ever worked.

Mother’s Day red lobster

My mom is Haitian and I asked what her favorite thing from red lobster is and she was very brief and said it was shrimp and crab legs so can Sombody give me something to get her and the price.

I made a tribute to my favorite place! I hope they add more food options and Shell fish Pokémon in the future!

Ate at RL today and I'm sad the Ceasar salad is off the menu. It was actually the reason for going today. Also I think it's ridiculous that a basic garden salad is a premium upgrade.
