TTL News 308 Posted April 17 Quote Per Restaurant Business Online, the seafood-chain, which has around 650 locations across the United States, has struggled in recent years due to leadership troubles and strategic missteps.

Chris 2,173 Posted April 18 We haven’t been in a few years and honestly don’t feel like we’ve missed much based on what I remember of our last visit. Im not surprised, and I think we’ll see this happen to more places as time goes on. We don’t eat out nearly as often as we used to and when we do, we try our best to go to someplace that’s locally owned and operated. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah I don't frequent to many chain restaurants when we do its mostly Texas Roadhouse. Surprisingly this time I got the red lobster to go and it was better than when we ate in person last year when we went. I also skipped getting lobster because last time it just didn't taste the greatest. This time just went with one of the pick 4 shrimp and it was great.
