What about the one in Monroe? I never see cars there.


I worked there in the early 90's. It was literally one of the busiest Red Lobsters in the chain. I swear that place would be packed in a monsoon. Kinda hate to hear this, but not surprised. I think the seafood restaurant business had kinda lapped poor Red Lobster.

I will say we had some epic biscuit wars back the day and yes, those biscuits were glorious. So was the lobster. There was at least 3 or 4 a night that would get one bite and sent back to the kitchen because you just don't suddenly start liking lobster. We had damn near fist fights for partially eaten lobsters if they got back to the kitchen. Also living off Red Lobster food for my entire employment was nice cause it was practically free but nothing beat the hook ups between the staff. It was almost as good as what was going on across the parking lot at Dillards.

I remember back in the glory days of the Airport Lounge this girl was telling me about all of the interesting pilots, movie producers, and varied adventurers she would meet there at the Airport. I didn't break it to her that she was getting passed around by the Red Lobster waitstaff. Play on, player.

It's been dead for decades now. I don't see how in the hell they've stayed open with no more than four or five cars there at lunch. I don't pass by as often at dinner but I don't think it's much different.
