The food was absolutely delicious. The bacon wrapped mussels we huge! Tender, delicious and filling. Service was amazing. I was with a beautiful young lady with down syndrome and our server was extremely receptive and understanding. I wish I remembered her name. She truly deserves a shout out!

It’s been at least 20yrs since I’ve had Red Lobster and this particular location had some of the best reviews in Mankato. My order was Door Dashed to my hotel. I was not disappointed! I ordered the shrimp and lobster pasta and it was just super good so give them a try.

I want to start this off by saying the food is amazing! Always hot and fresh, we love coming here to treat ourselves a little. The hosts are always amazing, and same with most of the staff. But this is the second time we have been a little disappointed with the same waitress. Last time we noticed she was a little short with us, maybe she has a bad day. Whatever. It happens! But today we went back and she was short with us again. She was pretty forgetful, and it almost felt unwelcoming to be there. And on top of that, she went missing for about 30 minutes and we were not checked on. Like I said, the rest of the staff are great and the food is amazing.

Food was hot, delicious, and exactly what we asked for. The hubby ordered from the lobsterfest menu and I got surf and turf with a side of lobster mac and cheese. absolutely what the tastebuds were expecting. Our server was very friendly, prompt and on the ball for refills or extra biscuits. We had a gift card that one of our kiddos got us for Christmas so that made it even better! Edites to add...Celebrated our 25th anniversary today and went back with our hearts set on the above side dish of Lobster mac and cheese to find out it's only during lobsterfest. With a little disappointment we readjusted and went with another option. Our server came out a few minutes later and told us that they could indeed make me a side dish of Lobster mac and cheese! Made my day and made me smile. It's the little things!! We will keep coming back with the friendly helpful servers.

My husband and I LOVE going to the Mankato Red Lobster! It's been a favorite of ours since our early dating years, and continues to be one of our "go to" favorites. The staff are SO friendly, and always greet us with a smile. They remember our preferred drinks and menu favorites, and have gone out of their way to get to know us personally over the years. We especially enjoy talking with Amanda each time we stop in. She always manages to find our table and drop by for a quick hello. I highly recommend this location. The team here is passionate about serving others, and we look forward to seeing them all!
