Has anyone been there for their Steam Pots? How much do they run? I am trying to decide between Joe's and Red Lobster for my birthday dinner.

I haven't been to Joe's in awhile. Looking at the menu online (without prices) I'd say the price is dependent on which one you get. I'm sure the lobster one is more expensive than the shrimp one.

I don't know but at our grocery store this week, live lobsters are $22.99 a pound!! Ridiculous!!!!

i don't know about their steam pots, but in general they are expensive for the amount of food they give you. plus they are incredibly annoying. the wait staff sings when the kitchen gets backed up. yes, your crappy ass singing is SO much better than the food i'm waiting on.

You have to be joking! Like their singing is going to make hungry people happy their food isn't ready?!?

Okay, that settles it, we'll go to Red Lobster like we usually do. I am never disappointed there. I'd much rather go to Maine for lobster, but since we can't afford to fly there for dinner, I'll be happy with what we can do.

I hear enough singing , humming , whistleing from a idiot I work with . I dam sure dont wana hear it at a Restaurant ! lol

i'm serious, jackie! we almost walked out that night. i think red lobster is much better. and i looooove their biscuits.

I guess it depends on which one you go to. I'd rather eat at Joe's than Red Lobster. The Joe's in Long Beach, CA only sang for the birthdays, which was an absolute hoot. Never really cared for Red Lobster.

I worked at Red Lobster for years so I think I'm set on eating there for the rest of my life.. haha. But the Cheddar Bay Biscuits are AWESOME and so is the Caesar dressing.

Yep, they do sing and dance. Though I find making the birthday people sing while straddling a toy stick pony is hilarious.

Since we never tell them it's a birthday, I don't see that as being a problem. I just want good food. It's years since we've been to Joe's, and we were not real impressed with them then. I was hoping the steam pots would be good enough reason to go there, but I don't think I want to take the chance.

WTF???

I think their food has really done downhill over the years. We used to go all the time when we went down to Costco.

my favorite seafood restaurant here went bankrupt so joe's and red lobster are now the only two choices.

 

[Rushpuppy]

I have been there once and don't care to go back. Food was only very average, cost was higher and service was slow. Ours here in Ft. Wayne went out of business relatively quickly. Guess I wasn't the only one not impressed.

I am extremely lucky here, Seafood is one of the things Nova Scotia does exceptionally well, and we have an abundance of local (non-chain) seafood restaurants ranging from small crab shacks and oyster bars to Mom & pop seaside takeouts, to 5 star fine dining.

Great. Now I want lobster.

I can't do chain seafood. I have never had luck with them. I spent last week in New Orleans so I am crawdad and oystered out.

BTW Live lobsters $5.99 per pound here.

I love anywhere in Atlantic Canada for fish....my grandfather was a Newfoundland trawler captain along with all the men in the family for generations were fisherman. I could eat fish 3 meals a day 7 days a week.

I cannot imagine $22.99 for lobster I won't buy it here in Phoenix for $13.99. I have memories as a child of going out and catching the flounder from the shore in order to row around the cove and bait the lobster pots. In fact I was a teenager in AZ before I found out flounder were edible as all we used them for was the lobster bait.

Have a Happy Birthday Jackie and enjoy Red Lobster. If there is a McGrath's around you, you may want to try them...they are from the Pacific Northwest and it is our current favorite fish place in town. It is a 20 mile drive so you know it has to be good.

We have a Joe's Crab Shack here, but I've never eaten there. I have a personal rule against eating seafood this far inland, and if they're getting crayfish out of the Ohio River I don't want to eat it.

I take that back, I do occasionally eat at Red Lobster, but it's the damned biscuits that draw me in. I know they're laced with crack.

Well, the commercial for RL on right now is killing me... it looks AWESOME and I don't even LIKE lobster!
