Red Lobster CEO Damola Adamolekun expressed his excitement in a TikTok video — and many diners reciprocated.
“He came in when they were losing lots, saved & recovered the company. And now that Red Lobster is doing well again, he is giving back to the customers. Mad respect to this CEO,” one TikTok user said.
“The second I found out last night, we immediately left and went – sooooo good,” another user wrote. Echoing the sentiment, one user commented: “Endless shrimp is back, you say??”
But not all comments were positive.
“I don’t care about endless shrimp!! Make the salad a part of the entree again!!” one user complained.
Another user commented on the speed of the food service, saying, “They bring out like seven shrimp every 15 minutes.”
