A trip to Red Lobster in South Carolina is getting attention online, though not because of anything on the menu. According to the caption attached to the clip, the woman at the center of it is a regular who knows exactly what she wants. Getting there, however, turned out to be the hard part.
The video, posted by an account going by naeeegotti on TikTok, opens on a woman seated at a table, menu in hand, mid-order. The caption reads, “This woman right here know she funny asf when it comes to ordering food😂 She love @Red Lobster we go every year for her bday.”
What follows is a short back and forth over a plate of shrimp Alfredo, and it’s the kind of exchange that has become its own genre of viral restaurant clip, the customer who isn’t confused about the menu but still has to repeat the same request more than once before it lands.
She knows exactly what she wants
She starts plainly enough. “I want the shrimp Alfredo with extra shrimps,” she says, before asking, “Can they put the jumbo shrimps in my shrimp Alfredo?” The employee taking her order checks which kind she means, grilled or regular, and she clarifies it’s the regular shrimp.
She then points out, as if for her benefit, that the dish already comes with shrimp.
Some restaurant orders go viral because diners end up with something they didn’t mean to ask for, but this was the opposite problem: she knew exactly what she wanted. She isn’t rattled. “I know, baby,” she says. “I eat here all the time.”

She asks again, “Can they put some extra shrimp in it?” When the point still doesn’t seem to register, she adds, “That’s what I’m asking you.”
Eventually the request gets through. “Yeah, I can add extra shrimp,” the employee tells her, to which she replies, “Okay. Add extra shrimp, baby.” From there, the order moves on to shrimp scampi “good and hot,” a check on whether she still gets a second side, and a quick aside to someone off camera to go ahead and place their own order while she keeps talking.
The comments section, meanwhile, seemed just as entertained by her as the person behind the camera. One commenter offered a bit of personal strategy for handling similar moments. “Oh that’s when i hit em with ‘I’ll give yall a minute’ & walk tf off. Gone talk to uncle harry boo,” they wrote, drawing over two thousand likes.
Others treated the clip less as a stranger’s video and more like family. “Yall please my aunt Johnny Mae don’t gaf bout shit yall saying in these comments!” one user wrote.
A third commenter zeroed in on the line doing most of the comedic work in the clip. They quoted, “I know baby, I eat here all the time,” alongside a reaction image, making it clear which line had stuck with them.
The extra shrimp may have been the point of the order, but her delivery is what made the exchange memorable.
