Red Lobster Vegetarian Choices

View Comments

• Please provide more (ANY) vegetarian and/or vegan entrees. I really liked the Bar Harbor Salad and the Wood Grilled Vegetable Skewers. Those were awesome! I don't know why you got rid of them. Plus, no other vegetarian options were added when those were removed. I hate going there with family now because all I can get are some vegetable side dishes, carbs or a salad.

• The corn bread suitable for vegetarians

• So you're saying YOU would enjoy corn bread for supper?!

• The cheddar bay biscuits contain lard

• Haven’t been in over 20 years, but was out numbered today. They now offer a Harvest Power Bowl that includes:
  Brussel sprouts
  Sweet potato
  Edamame
  Quinoa rice
  Spring mix
  They put the lemon olive oil vinaigrette on the side.

  The menu price was $9.99, but that includes shrimp. Was happy to see the bill lowered for $8.99 because I didn’t order the shrimp.

  Overall, I wouldn’t go back to Red Lobster because I just have to have this Harvest Bowl, but I do appreciate the food option and I finished the plate. Plus, I found out the biscuits have lard so it will probably be another 20 years until I return.

  OTHER OPTIONS (I didn’t try this):
  Dragon Power Bowl —- broccoli drizzled with spicy soy-ginger sauce over a bed of quinoa. Again, the price with shrimp is $9.99, but I’m guessing their policy is to charge less if you don’t get the shrimp. All restaurants need to have this policy.

• the pizza is NOT vegetarian, i just started working here. comes frozen so the lobster has to be picked off and it’s almost impossible to get it all off

• I ate at a Red Lobster with my sister a few months ago. It is the last time I will step foot in any Red Lobster. I tried to order a pasta dish with no meat or fish and had a difficult time with the waitress to order it that way. Red Lobster makes it very obvious that they are NOT welcoming to vegetarians. I guess they don't care about the business they are losing out on.. They don't give thought to the fact that, MANY people actually like to dine out with friends and family who happen to be vegetarian. But when a group of people are going to dinner with a vegetarian, and they ask the vegetarian if there's anything for them to eat on the menu and they say no, then they ALL choose a DIFFERENT restaurant to dine at. Since most people would like EVERYONE in their group to ENJOY their dining experience. After all, how many people would be happy with having nothing to choose on the menu, but an appetizer as a meal?!?! Red Lobster management does not realize the large advantage their competitors have by offering a few vegetarian meal options on their menu. They are missing out on groups, large and small, of friends and family who like to dine out together for birthdays, anniversary, and other celebrations! I guess they figure, Oh well, they don't need the business! . . They're loss!!! The majority of other restaurant chains are reaping the benefits of being SMART enough to offer a variety of food choices to please EVERYONE! And the vegetarians, and NON vegetarians alike, LOVE THEM!!!

• I am a Stage 4 kidney patient and have to eat vegetarian (plus no potatoes or tomatoes) but want to be able to eat out with my family.
