Red Lobster


We had an occasion to eat at Red Lobster in Trussville, Alabama.  Of course, at this time, they have their Endless Shrimp deal - all you can eat for $15.99.  I had the hand battered fried shrimp and the garlic shrimp scampi.  Both of these were great.  Scampi is my favorite on the shrimp scene, but I have to admit that the fried shrimp was the most tender fried shrimp I have ever eaten! 

Of course, we had about a 30 minute wait, but that was to be expected.  Our server was extremely good at his job - we did not run out of shrimp or beverage.  He was very attentive while not being obtrusive.  I know we have all seen those - they are trying to do a good job, but they come to the table so often that you cannot carry on a conversation with your dinner party and it gets very frustrating and bothersome.  This guy was not like that at all.  He certainly deserved his tip.

A couple of other people in the party had the Chocolate Wave as desert.  Of course, I had to try a bit of it.  For those of you who do not know what the Chocolate Wave is, it is chocolate cake, with a chocolate icing full of miniature chocolate chips, chocolate filling between the layers and it is served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.  Then, of course, it is all drizzled with more chocolate.  It is certainly a delight for a chocolate lover!

Overall this was an excellent dining experience and I look forward to getting to go back there again.
