Endless Shrimp appears to have ended them |

Just imagine all the people that have been eating there just before it went under and how shit that food had to be.

Brutally tough, low margin business with very little margin for error. Most of the mid-tier chains are struggling. That said it was mom's favorite place. I didn't mind it, not my first choice, but not my last.

Red Lobster clientele moved on to Beni Hana anyway

The only good thing about Red Lobster is when you see the sign it’s usually close to a better restaurant. Red Lobster sucks.
I don’t like fish though so I may be biased. |

The greed around the rent for business I feel has taken the largest toll. Mall space rent is one, along with individual properties a close second. Sure hourly wages have really hit these businesses, but a little bit of rent and tax breaks would cure these closings.
When you have mall space rent that is over $10,000 per month on many stores, how do you stay in business? |

The few times we went to em around here, we went REAL off hours, cause otherwise we felt like we stood out like sore thumbs.

IIRC caused some of the higher ups to resign. Their food turned into reheated garbage and went flying down hill since. |

Honestly I’m surprised they lasted this long.

They sell the experience

I guess business at Waffle House, Popeyes and White Castle will see an uptick.

Red Lobster was never that bad IMO but Cheddar fucking bay biscuits are my favorite.
Hopefully they still sell the mix in the stores. |

Here to right what is wrong. To restore faith that has long been lost and to rise to great heights even beyond my own legend as a great cocksmith, master pintsman and stunningly handsome Prince of light in these dark ages.

Last endless shrimp I indulged in at RL
The waitress took longer and longer to bring out more shrimp. Pretty sure that was covert strategy to bounce me out of there. No pun intended. |
