Not if you had a server like me lol listen. I would get your initial order and have you tell me what your refills would be. Once the order hits the table. Be prepared for your refills to come 3-5 minutes after I put your order on the table. Lol I didn’t play. We aren’t suppose to do that however I did (I’m a rule breaker lol) I understand how the kitchen works and it will take forever for the refills to come so I was one step ahead. Lol
my wife and i had an afternoon to waste, so we tried the "all you can eat shrimp" at red lobster. i ordered shrimp without breading or sugar sauces, so i wouldn't fill up on carbs. the waitress would take her time coming back to the table and only allowed me to get one order at a time. i would eat the shrimp in a minute and then my wife and i filled the waiting time talking about everything. this gave me time to digest the shrimp and still be hungry. after 4 hours, the manager came over to our table to tell me that i had more than enough and was cutting me off. i only had 20 servings and was still hungry. if they would have given me 10 shrimp servings at once, i probably would have been full and left in less than one hour. they thought that i would loose interest and leave if they slowed things down. my wife and i had nothing better to do, so we stayed!
That’s why I think that it’s false marketing. If it’s ‘endless’ then they cut you off that’s just misleading on their end. Don’t advertise it as ‘endless shrimp’ if you decide to cut people off because they were lead to believe there was no limit. It ends once I ask for my check.
I read an article that said they lost something like $450 Million with the endless 🦀 crab. The CEO or President was also fired! Crab is much more expensive. Shrimp to them, is cheap. 😅
@Brian Schienbein It's true. They won't be doing this promotion at the end of summer like they normally do. You can still get a scaled down version on Mondays though. It's just not the full arsenal of shrimp such as Nashville Hot and Crispy Sriracha.
Back when they did it right they would ask what kind of shrimp You would like next when they brought the first order out, so you wouldn’t have to wait.
Yeah but whenever I’ve gone they take 30 minutes or longer to freakin bring you another 8 shrimp. I used to love Red Lobster but don’t go anymore based off my last experiences. It’s a shame.
The last time I ate there the shrimp was the same as what you could buy frozen at most stores, tasteless and rubbery. The MSG flavored sauces on side dishes were awful and stunk so bad we threw out the leftovers about 10 minutes down the road. I DID start this with the LAST time I ate there, I meant for good!
@Llify Not if they can help it. Seafood is a bitch to keep fresh. They really do try. Close to the coast is where I want to eat my seafood. I live in a long way from that coast. So are my Red Lobsters.
The very disappointing omission ever present in this promo is 'Walt's famous recipe' style fried. Their best of all their shrimp offerings, imo. Not fair! 😥
Yeah I loved going to my local red lobster where I had to look at my server longingly as she passed me by numerous times. I thought maybe this just a bad visit so we went again and it happened again. It only happens at my local red lobster 🤔
Big Shrimp doesn't want you to eat. Conspiracy! Food takes time to cook, man. We've got other tables to worry about that have higher bills and will actually tip well. Generally, people that come in wanting a lot of food for a minimal price aren't big tippers. We're working to make money.

I also tip cash up front. If you do a great job, I also tip big at the end. More than your other tables combined because I’m well aware of the obstacle course you ran for us.

@@neilyaremchuk6798 the "slow play" really depends on the restaurant. I am a waiter at one and we like to have people in and out fast and happy. If that means bringing out three orders at once, I will do it. It depends on where you go.
India, Thailand, grown in ponds..cleanliness is not the best. At best, these shrimp are almost tasteless, much better to buy wild shrimp and cook at home. RL is really low end
NOT ONE mention that the shrimp shown are all DEEP FRIED in batter which fills you up. Deep Fried...Yuck !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Let me go to eat sushi, sashimi, etc at the local sushi bar. Far better food and worth the cost.
the one major thing she's not telling you is the shrimp are farmed all shrimp in United States today are pretty much farmed and they're given poison pellets!, and you wonder why Americans need health care☠️

The endless shrimp is a complete rip-off, they give you the smallest plate ever with about 6 small pieces of shrimp at a time and you have to keep ordering and it takes about 10-15 minutes per order...
They did the same thing at chili's with endless ribs back in the early 2000's. They brought two ribs at a time and waited forever to come back to see if you wanted more. Red Robin also does the same thing with bottomless fries. It's all a rip off. I don't even bother going to these chain restaurants anymore.
Instead of endless shrimp it should be called endless waiting! My husband ordered it and was told by our waiter that he could only pick 2 types to begin with. He wasn't allowed to order anymore until he ate them all so by the time he was ready to order more everyone else was half way done with our dinners. He put in his second order and it took forever so when it finally came out everyone was done eating. He put in his third order and ate it while we were eating dessert. He could have eaten a lot more but he didn't want to hold everyone else up. Long story short if you want to order the endless shrimp go by yourself or with people who are also going to order the same. This way you can wait endless for your shrimp all together!
I tried endless shrimp once and they only brought out about 5 shrimp which you have to eat first then order more and wait for the next order each time. By the time your second tiny plate of shrimp comes out everyone else is done eating.
Here's my comment...We had to ask for more shrimp, since we were only brought about 8 at a time (each). Then, we had to wait for the server to swing by and ask for another round, and another round etc. It was told us by the server, that it was being done to discourage us from actually staying and eating the all you can eat shrimp. Never went back. Ever. We just bypass Red Lobster completely. Besides, who really wants micro-shrimp anyway.
My husband seafood way better than red lobster and way way way cheaper. STOP EATING AT THESE BIG CHAIN RESTAURANTS THEY ARE PLAYING US. WE GETTING CHEATED OUT OUR MONEY
My son and 3 nephews ate so much endless shrimp the Chef came out to see who was eating all those shrimp. He thought it was only 1 person instead of 4 teenagers. Really funny. He also thought one person had broken his amount.
The catch. Waiter would not turn in order for more shrimp until I had eaten the last shrimp on my plate. Then it was a 10 to 15 minute wait for more shrimp. Ruined the eating experience.
Not necessarily. Depends on the waiter as they recognize if u're actually there to pig out or just enjoy&waste time eating them. The waiters usually recognizes me since i came back a week later and knows that i can pace myself on how much and fast i want to eat as i try out different menu items.
Sounds like when TGIF had endless appetizers some years back 10-15 minute wait until I said to hell with this after trying to get another appetizer . Kept offering to sell me more drinks while I waited.
Basically you walk into a Red Lobster on a stormy Wednesday evening. You sit down with your wife and two kids. The waiter comes by to take your order as you hungrily ask for the endless shrimp. 15 minutes later everybody is served. Your wife and kids ordered the endless shrimp as well. As the night morphs into inky blackness you all talk and laugh and eat. You eat plate after plate after plate of shrimp. After a couple hours you and your family are stuffed. You motion for the waiter to bring the check and look down at your plate, letting out a small chuckle. It looks like you haven't even eaten a single bit of shrimp - a curious thing since you have been gorging yourself on shrimp constantly for the better part of two hours. But before you can puzzle yourself over this small oddity any longer, the waiter bustles over to your table and hands you the bill. As you reach over to grab the check your hand closes instead around a squishy pile of shrimp. There is no check being handed to you, just another plate of shrimp. A loud thunderclap booms outside as you look up to ask the waiter why he brought you more shrimp instead of the check, when you are suddenly alarmed to find not the waiter but a giant, human sized shrimp in server attire staring blankly down at you. You spin around in your seat to see if your wife can see the shrimp waiter and are immediately frightened out of your wits. Your wife is no longer seated there next to you- only another human sized shrimp wearing your wife's dress and hoop earings. Numb with horror you quickly glance across the table at your two children. They are both shrimps. You let out a yell as another thunderclap echoes across the sky and it begins to rain. You distantly register the start of the torrential downfall outside, which sounds like large hail, as you spare a sweeping glance across the restaurant. There are no humans present. There are only shrimps seated at booths, shrimps seated at tables, and even a small group of shrimps at the bar. They are all eating large plateful of shrimp and leering at you menacingly. Your heart begins to pound in your chest like a war drum. You stumble backwards, half falling over your chair to get up. You sprint for the door and run outside into the dark stormy night. As you dash through the parking lot towards your car you feel something like a giant hot raindrops hit your face and bounce off towards the ground. Looking down you see a shrimp lying on the ground. You look out across the parking lot and see puddles of shrimp in the cracks in the pavement and across the roof of the closest cars. Another warm object strikes your head. It's literally raining shrimp. You find your car and fumble, hands shaking uncontrollably, with your keys. Finally unlocking the car you slip inside and engage the door locks. The human-sized shrimp from the restaurant are now congregating outside the front doors, staring across the parking lot at you. Their pale orange-pink bodies eerily backlit from the back light streaming out from the open doors behind them. You try to cramp the key into the ignition, but it folds against the ignition plate and squishes in your hand. You look down. There are no car keys, only several mangled shrimp on a keyring in your trembling hand. You punch the steering wheel in frustration accidentally setting off the car alarm. The shrimps outside the restaurant hear the noise and hungrily start to advance across the parking lot towards you. You try in vain to cramp the shrimp key into the ignition but you know its pointless. The shrimp slowly approach the car and surround it, rocking it back and forth, pressing their slimy bodies against the frame. You hear the fiberglass doors groan under the pressure as one of the rear windows shatters, spraying the backseat of the car with fragments of glass. You know there is no hope left. There is no escape. White faced and shaking you reach across the passenger's seat and open the glove box. Crammed under the insurance papers and pile of napkins is the Glock 19 you always bring with you when you leave the house. You pull the gun from it's holster and pause for a fraction of a second that holds an eternity. With tears streaming down your face, you put the gun to the roof of your mouth. Trying not to imagine what it feels like to die, only forcing yourself to think of your wife and kids you close your eyes. Then you pull the trigger. A singular shrimp comes zooming out of the barrel into your mouth. In your darkest hour, death itself refuses to end you. For death is not the end. There can only be shrimp. Endless shrimp.
Used to be a great deal, but then they changed up the menu, got rid of the best shrimp items, and reduced the size of the portions, then they won't bring more than two portions at a time, even if there's more than two people, and you have to wait 10-15 minutes before you can reorder. The shrimp itself has gotten smaller and the cooks have gotten lazier. Overall, I quit going, it's not worth it anymore.
I worked for Red Lobster and it is endless & they eat until they throw up and that's when they leave. They also really try to push the shrimp linguine as the option to eat because of all the noodles will fill you up faster.
You are exactly correct! Worst restaurant bait and switch out there. Not only is their seafood quality on par with Captain D’s or Long John Silvers, it’s priced like a high end seafood restaurant. I said “never again” years ago.
@A Stoic's Door At my location we have it on Monday, all Monday. It is a limited 4 item menu though. Hand-breaded, Grilled Skewer, Scampi, or Popcorn. One side item.
Wow this video didn’t age well. RL is considering bankruptcy due to this promotion. Let’s be honest, these are not wild caught shrimp they are freshwater farm raised shrimp. You get what you pay for
@@epic_errors I've never got the never ending shrimp, only Lobster and shrimp and the shrimps are really small. I would feel to embarrassed to ask for more, lol.
my daughter ,son and i went to an endless shrimp once...after my son put in his 5th reorder of shrimp cause the reorders are smaller , manager asked him to stop ordering and pay his tab...we were like what??? this is not endless then..never gone back
The real challenge is having the patience to wait for your next plate of shrimp. They know that the longer it takes you to get more shrimp, the fuller you will feel from what you've already eaten. You want to tell your server to bring another dish as soon as they show up with your second (or subsequent) helping.
I don't know why everyone keeps saying once a year, the store I work at does it every Monday & if you have a VIP card I think you can get it on Sunday to.
Always my favorite season of the year, usually eat between 200-300 shrimp and the servers at my local RL are always super nice. Incredibly cheap meal too so eating your worth is the easiest shit ever
Only time I go to RL is for this promo. I only do it every few years as is. Couple years back they had a promo dish with the endless offer but they couldn’t serve it as they’d ran out. That makes me think each store gets X amount of prepackaged stuff and once it’s gone it’s gone.
That's how literally every establishment operates. Each location orders food from a certain Food Distribution Service. That service is only provided once a week and only distributes the amount of product that was requested. If a restaurant requests too much product then some of that product will be lost due to spoilage. So they only order a certain predetermined amount. Some weeks more guest come in than usual, or some certain products are ordered by the guests at a higher frequency. That leads to the restaurant running out of that product.
Might be gross and it’s really not true but my brother-in-law always announces when we have shrimp that’s shrimp are in fact in the cockroach family and that discuss people and they won’t eat them and it just leaves more for him but this is not true but you can try it at your next family function or maybe they can do this at red lobster
There won't be any Endless Shrimp this year, or Lobsterfest, or any promotion until after COVID is done with. However, at my location we do have a minimal Endless Shrimp with only 4 options available on Mondays.
Tried this on four different occasions, each done during the 1:00 lunch hour. Every time, first order get decent # of shrimp of choice of three different shrimp menu items. Depending on selection, 6 - 10 small shrimp per selection. The refills allowed then choice of two shrimp selections, smaller number of shrimp, served about 15-20 minutes after reorder. So it took an hour to get the initial order and two reorders. Last visit, requested reorder once food was served. Reduced waiting time for reorder to be served to 10 minutes. This is not during a busy hour of business for this location. Decided, for $15, I can get two good pounds of fresh much larger shrimp, and have more shrimp to eat, though I have to cook it. Haven’t been back since. If you’ve plenty of time, and hate to cook, then this you may find appealing.
Is foolishly did an endless shrimp adventure ( 145 shrimp ) the day before a cholesterol tested. It was not surprise that i got a sky high reading on that test. I had to retake the test a few weeks later where the results were in a more normal range.
I worked as a grillmaster at red lobster for 2 years. The endless shrimp promo period was always as busy, if not busier, than any mothers day at any restaurant ive worked in 20 years. Top number ive seen was a man who got 15 of the 15 piece scampi dishes, 3 order of fried popcorn shrimp, 4 skewers, and 3 shrimp linguini
I love seafood so so so much specially crab and shrimp of course. But I would rather go to a more pricier seafood restaurant that’s worth my money instead of going to red lobster. I’ve been to red lobster in the ass they have a really good cheese biscuits and they have a really good cheesecake. But the last time I went there I didn’t think that their shrimp was worth me eating. Thank God I wasn’t the one that paid for it but still I’ve never been all that excited about red lobster like some other people. Maybe it’s because I grew up on the coast maybe that has something to do with it. Fresh seafood is so much better than frozen.
It’s no coincidence that all of the shrimp offerings are either fried or covered in some heavy sauce. It’s designed to fill you up as quickly as possible
Are you crazy?? Shrimps are basically 70% pure cholesterol....it's foolish to eat "as much shrimp as possible" in one sitting :-O No wonder the whole world laughs it's head off seeing the human-balloons that come out of the US for tourism.
*ALL* of their shrimp is pre-frozen..NOT fresh. Do you really think staff is in the kitchen peeling & de-veining fresh caught shrimp???? It's frozen. Their breaded shrimp is the same as popeyes & the kind you can get in the frozen food section at your local grocery store.
He family went for this one year and it was delicious but up to a certain point in the dinner our request for more went unanswered by the waitstaff. We kept asking for more and they stopped serving us. Every time they came to fill up our food water we would ask for more shrimp but it never came. So it really cut into the tip they got. But what burned me the most was that we were a party of ten and the gratuity was calculated into bill. Everyone had a problem with that because the shrimp stopped coming. I don’t remember the outcome but we did ask for the manager. But the meal was delicious 😋
The Seafood Stuffed Mushrooms are just awful, awful! The only edibles are the Red Lobster menu for me are the cheese biscuits and the clam chowder. I was told by some one who should know is that the 'sea-breeze' smell that greets you at the door is actually an air freshener pumped into the ventilation system.
I hate to serve during endless shrimp. You can imagine the way people act just by reading the some of the comments. Red lobster should turn into a buffet during this time because people want there refills immediately. Might as well cook in big quantities and forget quality because people act like they are dying of hunger. It’s actually kinda disgusting how much people eat to get their “money’s worth”. One time this woman asked me for a plastic bag to go just in case she needed to throw up because she had eaten so much. Like why do that to yourself😩 at that point it’s not even enjoyable
This video is completely missing the point of going out to eat. IN general the point isn't to fill your stomach like a farm animal until you have eaten more than you have paid. The point is to ENJOY yourself! What is the point of eating $30 worth of shrimp with a $20 bill if you are going to throw it up before you get to the car?
What happened to going out to eat, paying the expected price for an entree? Not pigs belly up to the troff and stuff themselves. Yet, the chain wonders why their food cost are up? Also, people who are dieting wonder after years they are still FAT? Go figure!
Pace yourself cuz they take longer each time to return in hopes you will be to full to re order.about 1/2 way through re order. That will piss them off 😂 good deal though.
I refuse to eat at Red Lobster. Their seafood is way below good quality. It actually sucks in my opinion and I have worked at a few seafood places. To me, Red Lobster is a serious insult to any Seafood Connoisseur.
I've ended my eating at red lobster,, prices are high for the quantity and quality of food you get. I swear they are adding chemicals in the food, everytime I eat their I feel bloated as hell 😝
I mean it's fine if you like shrimp like that, but is the goal to set a record for the number of shrimp you can eat and leave with your belly distended, or to have an enjoyable meal and not leave hungry? thinking on it, I bet a lot of people will see the two as one and the same. nevermind.....
How much shrimp do you think you could eat in one sitting?
Do I get a free shirt
If people knew how the farm raised shrimp were raised, they wouldnt eat any. Fed raw sewage among other disgusting practices
Ive ate 81 before
The truth about mashed
150 easily
The truth is they give you less each time and take longer each time you reorder..... so its all you can wait for
This is easy to get around. Tip your server at the beginning of the meal, then about 3-4 plates in, ask for 2 orders each refill
no it’s because everyone and their mom has endless lmao so we’re busy cooking everyone’s shrimp :/
Actually, no. The refills are smaller than the first plate, but all the refills are the same size.
They make it rigged, like you can only order 5 at a time so it’s just a lot of waiting
Not if you had a server like me lol listen. I would get your initial order and have you tell me what your refills would be. Once the order hits the table. Be prepared for your refills to come 3-5 minutes after I put your order on the table. Lol I didn’t play.

Been to redlobster for endless shrimp at least a hundred times over the years and have never been cut off. Eat 100+ plus every time.
"Endless shrimp" done right! I do it the same way, but I only hang around for a couple hours.
Gross.
That’s why I think that it’s false marketing. If it’s ‘endless’ then they cut you off that’s just misleading on their end. Don’t advertise it as ‘endless shrimp’ if you decide to cut people off because they were lead to believe there was no limit.
It ends once I ask for my check.
The franchisee operator was probably a tight wad.
The most I've eaten at Endless Shrimp is 174 shrimp. And yes, I tipped very well.
us red lobster servers thank you 😭
very good to know
Thank you for being decent!
@M Detlef why not?
104-110 is my best

You do not understand the magnitude of plastic and industrial pollution in the Indian ocean.
@@ZebbMassiv Anyone that eats at red lobster doesn't care about anything but cheap.

The shrimp is from China where there are no regulations to support sustainability, ya can buy it at Walmart for $5.50 1pound bag , RED LOBSTER serves it slowly so your body registers your stomach as full after 25 minutes
The key is to eat the grilled shrimp and avoid the breaded shrimp.
SMART !
Scampi all day! Just dont smell your fingers afterwards! Jus sayn 😂😂😂
Yep!!
I could do that..I prefer it grilled much better than breaded
Grilled and Scampi only. Don't eat the Breaded (they become 50% bigger) or the Pasta version (70% is pasta).
Their shrimps nowadays are like half an inch big....
they’ve always been that way... their shrimp never been large.

I tried endless shrimp once and they only brought out about 5 shrimp which you have to eat first then order more and wait for the next order each time. By the time your second tiny plate of shrimp comes out everyone else is done eating.
You have to place your next order when
The first shrimp arrive.
This is a solo mission
Here's my comment...We had to ask for more shrimp, since we were only brought about 8 at a time (each). Then, we had to wait for the server to swing by and ask for another round, and another round etc. It was told us by the server, that it was being done to discourage us from actually staying and eating the all you can eat shrimp.
Never went back. Ever. We just bypass Red Lobster completely. Besides, who really wants micro-shrimp anyway.
I know people that still think red lobster is “fancy” 😂
😂😂
My friend thinks that and also Houlihans as fine dining!;) But I ain’t gonna lie...I love me some cheddar biscuits!☺️❤️
Also Applebees..... can you believe anyone would think Applebees is high end........LOL.
@@jimiknowsbest5099 😂 just wow
Lol
Hmmm...endless frozen, farmed, tasteless, poop filled shrimpfest! lol
Go TRUE
Must be the life of the party everywhere you go. Yippee
It said quantity over quality. What do you expect kid?.
90 batter!
EXACTLY 🤮
My husband seafood way better than red lobster and way way way cheaper.
STOP EATING AT THESE BIG CHAIN RESTAURANTS THEY ARE PLAYING US.
WE GETTING CHEATED OUT OUR MONEY
If I eat over 2 lbs of shrimp for 20 bucks.. Im Happy 😊
hahaha, keep trying, Your husband seafood, doesn't have a reputation , that's what you paying for
@@reencuentro9354 yeah a reputation for being harvested in shit and tasting like a swamp.
@@dsimon33871 I dont think , so . People still love Red Lobster.
Too bad endless shrimp season is canceled for 2020 although you can get it every Monday all year with less variety
Say it ain't so! They announced it last year in September (I actually looked for the press releases.)
I work at Red Lobster and this is confirmed. Its said its not gonna happen at all anymore if sales stay good (except mondays)
More of the cutting edge journalism from Mashed we've come to expect.
My son and 3 nephews ate so much endless shrimp the Chef came out to see who was eating all those shrimp. He thought it was only 1 person instead of 4 teenagers. Really funny. He also thought one person had broken his amount.
The "chef"?
The catch. Waiter would not turn in order for more shrimp until I had eaten the last shrimp on my plate. Then it was a 10 to 15 minute wait for more shrimp. Ruined the eating experience.
Not necessarily. Depends on the waiter as they recognize if u're actually there to pig out or just enjoy&waste time eating them. The waiters usually recognizes me since i came back a week later and knows that i can pace myself on how much and fast i want to eat as i try out different menu items.
@@Exaris79 Just shared my personal experience. Not a debate.
Sounds like when TGIF had endless appetizers some years back 10-15 minute wait until I said to hell with this after trying to get another appetizer . Kept offering to sell me more drinks while I waited.
Never had that problem , Always had them coming as fast as I could eat them . Your waiter sucked
Poor baby. Meanwhile. kids in Sudan are digging for food in garbage dumps to eat.
Basically you walk into a Red Lobster on a stormy Wednesday evening. You sit down with your wife and two kids. The waiter comes by to take your order as you hungrily ask for the endless shrimp. 15 minutes later everybody is served. Your wife and kids ordered the endless shrimp as well. As the night morphs into inky blackness you all talk and laugh and eat. You eat plate after plate after plate of shrimp. After a couple hours you and your family are stuffed. You motion for the waiter to bring the check and look down at your plate, letting out a small chuckle. It looks like you haven't even eaten a single bit of shrimp - a curious thing since you have been gorging yourself on shrimp constantly for the better part of two hours. But before you can puzzle yourself over this small oddity any longer, the waiter bustles over to your table and hands you the bill. As you reach over to grab the check your hand closes instead around a squishy pile of shrimp. There is no check being handed to you, just another plate of shrimp. A loud thunderclap booms outside as you look up to ask the waiter why he brought you more shrimp instead of the check, when you are suddenly alarmed to find not the waiter but a giant, human sized shrimp in server attire staring blankly down at you. You spin around in your seat to see if your wife can see the shrimp waiter and are immediately frightened out of your wits. Your wife is no longer seated there next to you- only another human sized shrimp wearing your wife's dress and hoop earings. Numb with horror you quickly glance across the table at your two children. They are both shrimps. You let out a yell as another thunderclap echoes across the sky and it begins to rain. You distantly register the start of the torrential downfall outside, which sounds like large hail, as you spare a sweeping glance across the restaurant. There are no humans present. There are only shrimps seated at booths, shrimps seated at tables, and even a small group of shrimps at the bar. They are all eating large plateful of shrimp and leering at you menacingly. Your heart begins to pound in your chest like a war drum. You stumble backwards, half falling over your chair to get up. You sprint for the door and run outside into the dark stormy night. As you dash through the parking lot towards your car you feel something like a giant hot raindrops hit your face and bounce off towards the ground. Looking down you see a shrimp lying on the ground. You look out across the parking lot and see puddles of shrimp in the cracks in the pavement and across the roof of the closest cars. Another warm object strikes your head. It's literally raining shrimp. You find your car and fumble, hands shaking uncontrollably, with your keys. Finally unlocking the car you slip inside and engage the door locks. The human-sized shrimp from the restaurant are now congregating outside the front doors, staring across the parking lot at you. Their pale orange-pink bodies eerily backlit from the back light streaming out from the open doors behind them. You try to cramp the key into the ignition, but it folds against the ignition plate and squishes in your hand. You look down. There are no car keys, only several mangled shrimp on a keyring in your trembling hand. You punch the steering wheel in frustration accidentally setting off the car alarm. The shrimps outside the restaurant hear the noise and hungrily start to advance across the parking lot towards you. You try in vain to cramp the shrimp key into the ignition but you know its pointless. The shrimp slowly approach the car and surround it, rocking it back and forth, pressing their slimy bodies against the frame. You hear the fiberglass doors groan under the pressure as one of the rear windows shatters, spraying the backseat of the car with fragments of glass. You know there is no hope left. There is no escape. White faced and shaking you reach across the passenger's seat and open the glove box. Crammed under the insurance papers and pile of napkins is the Glock 19 you always bring with you when you leave the house. You pull the gun from it's holster and pause for a fraction of a second that holds an eternity. With tears streaming down your face, you put the gun to the roof of your mouth. Trying not to imagine what it feels like to die, only forcing yourself to think of your wife and kids you close your eyes. Then you pull the trigger. A singular shrimp comes zooming out of the barrel into your mouth. In your darkest hour, death itself refuses to end you. For death is not the end. There can only be shrimp. Endless shrimp.
Wow
Cringe
you had me in the first half
YOu REALLY need a life. No way I was going to read all that doo doo
That was funny and entertaining, you should write short horror stories! I loved it 😍 thanks for the great laugh 😊 stay away from the shrimps.,.....
Question: How long does the Endless Shrimp go on for?
Red Lobster: Until we roll you out the door madame... hehe
@Brian Schienbein no such thing as too much shrimp, give me all the shrimp you heard me all the shrimp.
@Brian Schienbein eye's suspiciously =_= ok you can have some of the shrimp just some though.
Used to be a great deal, but then they changed up the menu, got rid of the best shrimp items, and reduced the size of the portions, then they won't bring more than two portions at a time, even if there's more than two people, and you have to wait 10-15 minutes before you can reorder. The shrimp itself has gotten smaller and the cooks have gotten lazier. Overall, I quit going, it's not worth it anymore.
I worked for Red Lobster and it is endless & they eat until they throw up and that's when they leave. They also really try to push the shrimp linguine as the option to eat because of all the noodles will fill you up faster.
I went last year in Ontario Canada. Was endless . i was hungry. I got my money's worth.
@M Detlef woop woop the grammar police on scene.
@M Detlef can you stip bullying people?
@M Detlef dang this idiot cannot take a single joke
@M Detlef wow one mistake gets someone called a dumbass
Red lobster is basically the McDonald’s of seafood. It looks good in the commercial, but you really don’t want to eat that crap
You are exactly correct! Worst restaurant bait and switch out there. Not only is their seafood quality on par with Captain D’s or Long John Silvers, it’s priced like a high end seafood restaurant. I said “never again” years ago.
Word
All the shrimp is farmed which comes from mostly South Asia and is raised in very polluted water it’s really unhealthy
And basically flavorless.
I'm a smoker and a drinker. I think going in once a year for all you can eat shrimp is a risk I'm willing to take at this point.
@@NateB1976 sometimes you just have to take a walk on the wild side.. I said hey man take a walk on the wild side.
Endless back next month?
No , they stopped it , only on Mondays now , i know cause i work there .....
Feels like an ad though don't it?
@A Stoic's Door every monday til 6pm
@A Stoic's Door At my location we have it on Monday, all Monday. It is a limited 4 item menu though. Hand-breaded, Grilled Skewer, Scampi, or Popcorn. One side item.
Every Monday is endless
I automatically thought of Forrest Gump when I saw this 😂
Wow this video didn’t age well. RL is considering bankruptcy due to this promotion. Let’s be honest, these are not wild caught shrimp they are freshwater farm raised shrimp. You get what you pay for
They are farm raised in Cambodia and fed sewage until market size is reached
Ewww
Thats why they are good. Who cares. We eat tons of garbage without knowing it. Leave my food alone
@Brian Schienbein even better
for every kilo of shrimp netted in the ocean, approximately 10 kilos of by-catch fish are killed and wasted
Then the fisherman are stupid!!
@Stephen Vergopoulos 😝 farm raised
I had 20 servings last year, ending with a double serving of shrimp Alfredo. It was wonderful 😊
The shrimp are tasty but they are way too small.
Who cares? Just get more
@@epic_errors I've never got the never ending shrimp, only Lobster and shrimp and the shrimps are really small. I would feel to embarrassed to ask for more, lol.
my daughter ,son and i went to an endless shrimp once...after my son put in his 5th reorder of shrimp cause the reorders are smaller , manager asked him to stop ordering and pay his tab...we were like what??? this is not endless then..never gone back
The real challenge is having the patience to wait for your next plate of shrimp. They know that the longer it takes you to get more shrimp, the fuller you will feel from what you've already eaten. You want to tell your server to bring another dish as soon as they show up with your second (or subsequent) helping.
A good server will have the next plates going while you're eating the current plates.
@@CarbageMan I had a best waiter ask how many orders I wanted. He brought 15 plates later.
@@MarcoAshford 😀
I don't know why everyone keeps saying once a year, the store I work at does it every Monday & if you have a VIP card I think you can get it on Sunday to.
The manager that did the crab promo sure wasn’t a good businessman but a legend amongst men!
I agree with that,you don't get as much as you go and order more. And they do take their time
It looks soooo gooood, but im allergic to crustaceans 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Sad life
I live in Africa and my village just got the internet. I cant believe people have endless food.
Well congratulations though. The internet is a great place to learn if you use it right
Yeah ny is amazing
MURICA !!!!!!
I can’t believe you have internet
Always my favorite season of the year, usually eat between 200-300 shrimp and the servers at my local RL are always super nice. Incredibly cheap meal too so eating your worth is the easiest shit ever
Ff
Only time I go to RL is for this promo. I only do it every few years as is. Couple years back they had a promo dish with the endless offer but they couldn’t serve it as they’d ran out. That makes me think each store gets X amount of prepackaged stuff and once it’s gone it’s gone.
That's how literally every establishment operates. Each location orders food from a certain Food Distribution Service. That service is only provided once a week and only distributes the amount of product that was requested. If a restaurant requests too much product then some of that product will be lost due to spoilage. So they only order a certain predetermined amount. Some weeks more guest come in than usual, or some certain products are ordered by the guests at a higher frequency. That leads to the restaurant running out of that product.
Might be gross and it’s really not true but my brother-in-law always announces when we have shrimp that’s shrimp are in fact in the cockroach family and that discuss people and they won’t eat them and it just leaves more for him but this is not true but you can try it at your next family function or maybe they can do this at red lobster
I remember when they had endless lobster tails oh, I think I ate about 17 of them once. I hope they bring that back.
In NYC with COVID there is no endless shrimp.
There won't be any Endless Shrimp this year, or Lobsterfest, or any promotion until after COVID is done with.
However, at my location we do have a minimal Endless Shrimp with only 4 options available on Mondays.
Look at the bright side…you have endless crime. Ta Ta NYC
Tried this on four different occasions, each done during the 1:00 lunch hour. Every time, first order get decent # of shrimp of choice of three different shrimp menu items. Depending on selection, 6 - 10 small shrimp per selection. The refills allowed then choice of two shrimp selections, smaller number of shrimp, served about 15-20 minutes after reorder. So it took an hour to get the initial order and two reorders. Last visit, requested reorder once food was served. Reduced waiting time for reorder to be served to 10 minutes. This is not during a busy hour of business for this location. Decided, for $15, I can get two good pounds of fresh much larger shrimp, and have more shrimp to eat, though I have to cook it. Haven’t been back since. If you’ve plenty of time, and hate to cook, then this you may find appealing.
Even if one hates to cook, shrimp cook very quickly. About 90 seconds on each side in a skillet with some olive oil, butter and garlic.
Is foolishly did an endless shrimp adventure ( 145 shrimp ) the day before a cholesterol tested. It was not surprise that i got a sky high reading on that test. I had to retake the test a few weeks later where the results were in a more normal range.
I worked as a grillmaster at red lobster for 2 years. The endless shrimp promo period was always as busy, if not busier, than any mothers day at any restaurant ive worked in 20 years. Top number ive seen was a man who got 15 of the 15 piece scampi dishes, 3 order of fried popcorn shrimp, 4 skewers, and 3 shrimp linguini
But at least they were good tippers, right?
@Llify 5$. He'd sit there ALLLLLL day too
Matt Stonie has a video where he goes and does the endless shrimp with a friend.. eats a crazy amount lol
At one Red Lobster a few years ago, for my 3rd. plate of endless shrimp, they added so much salt it was almost inedible.
Restaurants do that when they're tired of you. Visited an AYCE and about 3 in, they added a cray amount of salt to cut us off.
I love seafood so so so much specially crab and shrimp of course. But I would rather go to a more pricier seafood restaurant that’s worth my money instead of going to red lobster. I’ve been to red lobster in the ass they have a really good cheese biscuits and they have a really good cheesecake. But the last time I went there I didn’t think that their shrimp was worth me eating. Thank God I wasn’t the one that paid for it but still I’ve never been all that excited about red lobster like some other people. Maybe it’s because I grew up on the coast maybe that has something to do with it. Fresh seafood is so much better than frozen.
Am the only one who didn’t care that much for endless crablegs? Too much work for too little food!😁
Bull shit I will never go back to red lobster
It’s no coincidence that all of the shrimp offerings are either fried or covered in some heavy sauce. It’s designed to fill you up as quickly as possible
They have tiny little shrimp.
And each plate only has like 6-8. You go through them in less than a minute.
Well get up. Find the Manager (who of course is behind the slow moving shrimp) & raise a ruckus. You may have to get loud. SAY SOMETHING.
No salad . 1 biscuit , no soda just water on ice . Did 147 .... going for 175 this year .
290 with salad biscuits and my boston tea. Lol. After that trip my wife banned me from endless shrimp 🍤
Gross.
To win one must eat at lesst 3.5 pounds of raw shrimp.
Take the biscuits home and the sides. Just stick to the shrimps, it's awesome and I so got my moneys worth and I'm a big eater!
Are you crazy?? Shrimps are basically 70% pure cholesterol....it's foolish to eat "as much shrimp as possible" in one sitting :-O
No wonder the whole world laughs it's head off seeing the human-balloons that come out of the US for tourism.
*ALL* of their shrimp is pre-frozen..NOT fresh. Do you really think staff is in the kitchen peeling & de-veining fresh caught shrimp????
It's frozen. Their breaded shrimp is the same as popeyes & the kind you can get in the frozen food section at your local grocery store.
He family went for this one year and it was delicious but up to a certain point in the dinner our request for more went unanswered by the waitstaff. We kept asking for more and they stopped serving us. Every time they came to fill up our food water we would ask for more shrimp but it never came. So it really cut into the tip they got. But what burned me the most was that we were a party of ten and the gratuity was calculated into bill. Everyone had a problem with that because the shrimp stopped coming. I don’t remember the outcome but we did ask for the manager. But the meal was delicious 😋
The Seafood Stuffed Mushrooms are just awful, awful! The only edibles are the Red Lobster menu for me are the cheese biscuits and the clam chowder.
I was told by some one who should know is that the 'sea-breeze' smell that greets you at the door is actually an air freshener pumped into the ventilation system.
I hate to serve during endless shrimp. You can imagine the way people act just by reading the some of the comments. Red lobster should turn into a buffet during this time because people want there refills immediately. Might as well cook in big quantities and forget quality because people act like they are dying of hunger. It’s actually kinda disgusting how much people eat to get their “money’s worth”. One time this woman asked me for a plastic bag to go just in case she needed to throw up because she had eaten so much. Like why do that to yourself😩 at that point it’s not even enjoyable
This video is completely missing the point of going out to eat. IN general the point isn't to fill your stomach like a farm animal until you have eaten more than you have paid. The point is to ENJOY yourself! What is the point of eating $30 worth of shrimp with a $20 bill if you are going to throw it up before you get to the car?
What happened to going out to eat, paying the expected price for an entree? Not pigs belly up to the troff and stuff themselves. Yet, the chain wonders why their food cost are up? Also, people who are dieting wonder after years they are still FAT? Go figure!
Pace yourself cuz they take longer each time to return in hopes you will be to full to re order.about 1/2 way through re order. That will piss them off 😂 good deal though.
I refuse to eat at Red Lobster. Their seafood is way below good quality. It actually sucks in my opinion and I have worked at a few seafood places. To me, Red Lobster is a serious insult to any Seafood Connoisseur.
I've ended my eating at red lobster,, prices are high for the quantity and quality of food you get.
I swear they are adding chemicals in the food, everytime I eat their I feel bloated as hell 😝
Sure they do! That's true for pretty much all restaurant foods. FDA allows all these additives.
Never had this problem in Germany.
its just cheap shit... the food is horrible quality. I wouldn't eat at Red Lobster if someone paid me and I mean it.
They use tons of salt on their food that's why you feel bloated.
I get the squirts.
I mean it's fine if you like shrimp like that, but is the goal to set a record for the number of shrimp you can eat and leave with your belly distended, or to have an enjoyable meal and not leave hungry?
thinking on it, I bet a lot of people will see the two as one and the same.
nevermind.....
R. L. In Canada is a rip off. Lu ch portions leave you hungry. Dinner not much better. Yet the place fill each day. Not for me.
