    I went there for lunch on a Saturday. The place was mostly empty, the reservations were not required. I had the New England clam chowder and it was one of the best i ever had. I also had a salad with shrimp. The shrimp were cooked perfectly, not overcooked like many places. My dining companion had the chicken tenders with fries. She is not much of a seafood eater. She said the chicken lacked seasoning and the fries tasted like they were cooked in old oil. My companion has fast food restaurant experience from her teenage years. I would go back to try the big seafood boils they offer. A table nearby to ours ordered a boil and it smelled amazing.

    Red Lobster South Plainfield, NJ is a good choice! We ordered two very good meals, the Seafarer's Feast and the Mariner's Feast (both in the $30.00 price range.) One platter was Fried Shrimp, grilled Maine Lobster tail, Garlic Shrimp, and a skewer of 4 fantastic scallops. The other was Fried Shrimp, the skewer of scallops, and Salmon topped with Langostino sauce. Each came with a choice of two sides and the Cheddar Bay biscuits. Our choices were garden salad and mashed potatoes. Everything was very good! Our waiter was new but very concerned about doing a good job; he checked with us several times, and I also heard him asking another customer if his cocktail had come out the way he requested. That customer was also very satisfied and joked with the server. Another server who recognized us (I was surprised by that), came over just to ask how our grandchildren were doing because she remembered their photos from a previous visit. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. The only real drawback to most of the Red Lobster chain is the somewhat dated decor. I can live with that.
