Summary

  • Red Lobster doesn't make major menu changes often, but they have increased prices due to higher-quality seafood. The menu varies by location.
  • Red Lobster's appetizers, like crispy dragon shrimp and lobster dip, are highly recommended and preferred over the entrées.
  • The key lime pie at Red Lobster is a fan-favorite and has the fewest calories among the dessert options.

Whether it's a teenage romantic dinner or a quick family meal before the big soccer game, Red Lobster is a family favorite and has been, in fact, for several decades, which is why they can be seen at every strip mall across the 50 American states. While some foodies are heading there for a quick lunch bite, there are others who are there to quench their hangry attitudes and indulge in some high-calorie, fried foods and end the evening with a rich chocolate cake. And since we all do it, we're not here to judge. Some US cities have the best seafood, while others have the worst, and the same goes for Red Lobster locations!

However, what makes a restaurant so great is the content of its menu. A seafood restaurant, especially, must be very careful when limiting options to those who do not eat seafood but must go along for the family ride. Of course, there are great meals that come as a non-seafood option, but there are some that just fail miserably. Here, we have uncovered what makes Red Lobster so fabulous and what makes it not-so-fabulous by listing meals according to real-life reviews.

22 How Often Does Red Lobster Change Its Menu?

Historically, Red Lobster has not made major changes to its menu more than every few years. With one of the last 'big' changes to Red Lobster menus being in the later 2010s, it has been a while since we've seen anything significant. However, Red Lobster did up the prices a few times over the more recent decade, stating that is due in part to its higher-quality seafood. Naturally, not everyone believed that rhetoric, but Red Lobster continues to do pretty well throughout the United States and globally.

Many people don't realize South America and Asia have Red Lobsters, as well as the Middle East. Because of the long-standing menu and somewhat stable pricing across the company, people have been able to enjoy Red Lobster since its inception in 1968. It's also worth mentioning that the company runs deals throughout the year, with special pop-up menu items depending on the market.

Someone in Florida could see an additional menu option that someone in Michigan doesn't.

As prices rise and quality doesn't always stay stable at restaurants worldwide, Red Lobster has a secret weapon: its apps. Starters at Red Lobster have historically done well across global markets, with things like bread, salads, shrimp, and other small bites doing incredibly well. Specifically, here are some appetizers at Red Lobster we recommend to you:

  • Crispy Dragon Shrimp
  • Hand-Breaded Calamari
  • Parrot Isle Jumbo Coconut Shrimp
  • Lobster Dip
  • Lobster Pizza
  • Signature Stuffed Seafood Mushrooms
  • Crab Queso Dip
  • Lobster Corn Dogs With Lemon Tarragon Aioli

Again, there are endless reasons to stop by Red Lobster and grab a small bite with a starter, as some people don't always need so much food. Entrées here have a reputation for being rather filling,

  • Many diners at Red Lobster prefer the Starters over Entrées.

20 Best - You Can Never Go Wrong With A Slice of Key Lime Pie

While dessert is traditionally eaten at the end of a meal, dessert may just be the most important meal of the day. Yes, science and doctors say that breakfast is the most important meal, but breakfast can't cure tired mental anguish after a long and tedious day. And, although we tend to stray to rich chocolate desserts or cold ice cream to end the day on the right foot, Key Lime pie will also do the trick.

Red Lobster offers guests a large slice of Key Lime Pie, which is the perfect dessert to split between friends or bring the leftovers home in order to watch the latest 13 Reasons Why season 2 in style.

Of the six options to order from on the dessert menu, the Key Lime Pie is said to be the dessert with the least amount of calories. This velvety rich slice of tropical pie dessert only contains 430 calories, according to Food Network's Eat This Or That.

My husband had steak and shrimp main, and I had the most delicious Maine Lobster tails with corn on cob and baby potatoes. The pudding consisted of key lime pie and NY cheesecake. Well worth every penny (or should I say cent?). Thank you, Red Lobster!!! Just fabulous ❤️

19 Best - Ariel Wasn't Wrong When She Made Flounder Her Best Friend

Red Lobster seafood meal on table

Flounder is a white fish that is often found on a variety of lists in regard to dieting and good health. But, most people may associate flounder with the little yellow and blue friendly fish from The Little Mermaid. However, it is no surprise that flounder is so popular among those looking to keep a healthy lifestyle, as it is high in protein and low in calories, as most white fish are.

According to the Red Lobster fish menu, the choices that guests have are limited yet highly numbered. While there are many deep-fried and all-you-can-eat options, the choice for a healthy steamed or broiled fish is very low. In reality, according to the Red Lobster menu, the 'fish' section houses two deep-fried fish and 1 broiled, which is the Flounder.

Although guests have the final say in what they order for lunch or dinner, Food Network suggests ordering the flounder dinner with a side of vegetables instead of fries, which are high in calories, or even a baked potato since that's also high in starch. In contrast to these traditional sides, guests should consider ordering steamed broccoli (hold the butter) or sweet potato.

  • The flounder meals at Red Lobster tend to taste better than some of the other fish.

18 Best - The Classic Shrimp Cocktail To Start Off A Meal

Entrées are the highlight of a meal. They are what hold our appetites together, without escaping into the hangry stage as we wait forty-five minutes for a piece of lobster tail. Luckily, there are options on the entrée menu that are light enough that they won't spoil your dinner. For example, this shrimp cocktail is said to be a big hit at Red Lobster. This appetizer is served with six shrimp, a slice of lemon, and a small cup of marinara sauce. However, Food Network's Eat This And Not That suggests eating these protein-filled wonders without the marinara sauce so that it doesn't overfill your allotted amount of sodium.

The shrimp in the shrimp cocktail are fat-free and only contain 130 calories. Unfortunately, for this dish, the sodium levels are extremely high. Again, we recommend cutting out the marinara sauce. Fortunately for these little beauties, this appetizer dish contains 17 g of protein, which is a fantastic amount for anyone counting protein levels.

  • Classic shrimp cocktails are always a winner here.

17 Best - Bringing A Little Heat To This Traditional Chicken Alfredo

Lobster Lover's Dream Meal at Red Lobster.

While this may look like a hot mess, it's apparently super tasty. So much so that Pinterest is filled with copycat variations to make at home. In any regard, this linguini is cooked to a perfect al dente cook. It is served with a creamy Alfredo sauce with marinated Cajun chicken. Of course, an Alfredo wouldn't be an Alfredo without some grated parmesan cheese on top to further the cheesy flavors.

On the downfall, this plate of gooey pasta may taste delicious. However, according to Fit Day.com, this bowl of pasta contains 1500 calories, which is equivalent to a Double Big Mac, a large fry, and a large soda at the Golden Arches. Though this dish may be good on a special night out, it may be best to avoid it on your weekly family night out.

But, if you're like Oprah, and you love your pasta, and you don't count your calories (or care, for that matter), then dig in and enjoy!

16 Best - You Can Never Go Wrong With Cheddar Bay Biscuits

The Cheddar Bay biscuits are one of Red Lobster's signature entrée. They are the equivalent of Olive Garden's breadsticks. However, they come warm and gooey with fresh, sharp cheddar cheese. What makes these little puffs of heaven even better is the melted garlic butter poured on top once the biscuits come out of the oven.

I can, personally, vouch for how delicious Red Lobster's cheddar bay biscuits are. Although I've never stepped foot inside a Red Lobster chain, luckily, Red Lobster does sell their packaged cheddar bay biscuits at most grocery stores, and it even comes with the perfect garlic and herb seasoning for that melted butter we discussed. Best of all, they only take 3 minutes to prep and 9 minutes to cook to get a perfect serving of 12 high-risen cheddar biscuits. And yes, it comes in a box, but some of the best homemade desserts come in a box as well, like brownies, and you don't see the world raging about that. For those Red Lobster fans who can't make it to one of their chained restaurants, they also sell their signature crab cakes in the same box form.

Let's all take a moment to express our gratitude to the cheese Gods.

  • Cheddar Bay Biscuits have long been a top-ordered item at Red Lobster.

15 Best - Satisfying Yet Underrated Shrimp Skewers

While there are going to be many items that are on the menu that will be something that you will completely and utterly want, they are most likely filled with heavy, greasy French fries or buttery baked potatoes. Sounds delicious, right? Yes, however, if this is a hot summer day and you're sitting on a nice terrace, or it's date night with your wife, these plates will leave you feeling tired and icky. Thankfully, Red Lobster does provide a dish that is low in calories and will leave you feeling like you just ate a Spring salad instead of an entire meal: their classic wood-grilled shrimp skewers.

Each of these light skewers has about 80 calories per skewer. That's amazing. Technically, you could eat this all day long, and you still probably wouldn't reach your supposed daily calorie intake. Add in their flavorful brown rice and vegetables and some steamed broccoli (hold the butter, please!), and you've got the perfect meal at an inexpensive price.

According to the Red Lobster menu, their specially trained chefs suggest pairing this plate with a Mango Passion Margarita.

  • Shrimp skewers at Red Lobster have a lesser-known fan club.

14 Best - Southwest Style Lobster Tacos Are Totally Trendy

Okay, sometimes the presentation is a miss, but the flavors are off the charts. I'm not entirely sure why the restaurant chain doesn't put a larger emphasis on their plating presentation, especially for tacos, considering how trendy they are now for all Instagrammers and Pinners alike. Still, luckily, it's what they taste like (with your eyes closed) that counts.

This dish, however, is not served with a choice of two sides. Instead, they offer guests a tasty chicken brown long grain rice. Each of these three tacos comes with roasted corn and an avocado salsa. And, my spicy-loving friends, the tacos are also topped with a spicy- yet cool- jalapeno ranch dressing. Though diners have the option of choosing between shrimp, chicken, and tilapia, our foodie insiders suggest ordering the lobster tacos. However (there's always a but when it comes to delicious foods),

Although this dish may be extremely gratifying, they are on the typical fast food calorie scale, weighing 770 calories.

But there's a price for everything; that's why Nutrition Nix suggests jogging for an hour or walking for 3 hours (it's very doable if you eat these at lunch) in order to make up for the guilty pleasures you just indulged in.

  • If you want spice and seafood, the Southwest-style lobster Tacos are worth a whirl.

13 Best - 12 oz New York steak Is Definitely A Large Piece Of Beef

Lobster Fest Trio

Red Lobster: Lobster Fest Trio menu item

Not everyone you invite to dinner will want to indulge in the Ultimate Seafood event that the rest of you may be attending. But, the smart cookies over at Red Lobster have found a way to make sure that everyone who enters their fishy doors is greeted with options that they, too, can enjoy. Welcome to the list of the best, dear steak you've been thoroughly missed.

This gorgeous piece of meat tips the scale at 12 ounces, and each of these bad boys is marinated in a peppercorn rub. Then, it's delicately placed on a firewood grill in order to give this superb cut of beef the perfect grill marks on either side in order to be chowed down by only the bravest of foodies. It is then served with creamy herbed mashed potatoes and a choice of one more side dish (some fans may opt for French fries while others go the veggie path).

"Not being a lobster fan myself, I opted for steak with fries and veg, which was excellent. My partner had a combo with a few different seafood bits on and said it was also lovely."

- Tinylass, United Kingdom

  • Many Red Lobster goers complement the size and quality of the steak here.

12 Best - Rock Lobster Tail Is A Must

Red Lobster Biscuits

Biscuits served at Red Lobster 

Of course, this list wouldn't be complete without some lobster. Not only would that have been hilarious, but it would not have been a great representation of the name brand or its signature mascot - the lobster. However, the popular restaurant chain does not offer lobster claws, but only lobster tails. This is slightly unfortunate for foodies, seeing as the claws are sweeter and more tender, according to Lobster Anywhere.

But how delicious does this sound? "A roasted Maine Lobster tail topped with tender shrimp in a creamy garlic sauce, paired with a golden baked Main lobster tail with crab and seafood stuffing. Served with mashed potatoes, roasted tomatoes and green beans." says My Sweet Zepel

Everything we tried was super delicious (we tried different combo meals with lobster, snow crab, NY strip and rock lobster tail, and some cocktails), and the prices were very reasonable. Extremely good and friendly service. In total, one of the best restaurant experiences ever!

11 Best - Salmon New Orleans Is The Simple Way To Go

This dish is worth all the feels, especially those hangry ones. The Red Lobster New Orleans salmon is a piece of fresh Atlantic salmon with grilled Cajun shrimp to top the blackened fish. Lastly, it is garnished with a fresh pico de gallo, and it is then served with any two of Red Lobster's signature side dishes like baked or mashed potato, French fries, or veggies, just to name a few.

Based on different reviews online (and trust me, there are many), it seems as though this is truly a fresh piece of fish served at countless different Red Lobster restaurants. So much so that the online world is also filled with different copycats that foodies can get to try at home. Although the All-You-Can-Eat Crab Fest may be happening, the New Orleans salmon may be your best bet, especially if you want to rebel against the crowd.

  • The Red Lobster New Orleans salmon is a piece of fresh Atlantic salmon worth trying.

10 Worst - Say Heck No To Calamari And Vegetables

Red Lobster in the city

Red Lobster in the city

Okay, grab the water and the jogging gear because this appetizer will definitely make you need them. The deep-fried calamari and deep-fried vegetables are not only deep-fried, giving this dish a whopping 1520 calories for an APPETIZER, it are also heavily salted, making the sodium level for this APPETIZER (I can't emphasize this enough) at well over 3000 milligrams, according to Fitbit.com.

Seriously, these waiters and waitresses should walk around with water every 30 seconds.

After your coronary report comes in, the next time you hit up a Red Lobster chain, you may want to order the stuffed mushrooms instead. Although they are still high on the sodium charts, luckily not as high, these vegetarian options are a much lighter choice as they are not heavily coated in breading and deep-fried in oil (am I the only one who's still shivering by this dish?).

"The calamari was quite poor, very little taste, and the coating was limp and sad."

- deville1984, TripAdvisor.

"They should just call it breaded vegetables with some calamari. Or deep-fried breaded vegetables and three pieces of actual calamari."

- Juan1, TripAdvisor.

  • Calamari and veggies are not tasty and rather dry at Red Lobster.

9 Worst - Beer-Battered Walleye Fish Does Not Look Like Fish

Red Lobster meal

Meal on the table at a Red Lobster restaurant

Although walleye fish may not be as popularly known as opposed to its opponents like salmon, tuna, cod, and even white fish, just to name a few, it still has a rep for being known. Though this rep isn't a bad one, in fact, walleye is said to be a particularly delicious piece of fish. Personally, I truly enjoyed it, and the fact that Red Lobster has found a way to butcher the already underrated fish is an insult to the seafood industry.

Walleye is known to be the perfect kind of fish for Walleye popcorn. In fact, at most Pow Wows, Walleye popcorn can be seen at many foodie vendors, as Walleye is commonly fished in many Canadian rivers. But, there you have it; Red Lobster decided to deep-fry it into a large piece of... fish instead of slicing it to make it look a little more appealing. On the more grotty side of things, they go on to serve this fish in a "fish and chips" style, serving it alongside deep-fried French fries and, of course, their signature free entrees - the cheddar bay biscuits. That is a lot to handle.

However, if you want to try the Walleye, Red Lobster offers a healthy version of this fish in a broiled fish dish. Thankfully, the broiled version can be served with fresh steamed veggies and long grain rice, or the even more fulfilling - baked potato (hold the sour cream, please!).

  • This menu item is often questioned for not tasting like actual fish.

8 Worst - This Shrimp Should've Stayed In The Water

Red Lobster in Coral Springs

This is another prime example of the necessary need for a culinary certificate. Whoever decided to put fried prawns with a garlic butter shrimp soup, a messy and sad-looking baked potato that doesn't look like it should be eaten, and a plop of sour cream must be fired. Where's the color, Red Lobster (you even have a color in your name)? Where's the greenery of bountiful veggies? This is the definition of Obesity in America, and our children are eating it.

Needless to say, I'm not a fan of the mockery of this precious type of seafood - one that every foodie and food blogger lives to cook with. Where do we begin? Anyway, if you're craving shrimp when you're on your way to dine at Red Lobster, the more appropriate dish to pick would be the Wood-Grilled Shrimp we have listed above.

"I had margaritas (I love margaritas when I come to America) and the Parrot Isle Jumbo Coconut Shrimp, which I had very fond memories of. Unfortunately, whilst tasty, they were almost cold, possibly as a consequence of the poor service we had received all evening from our server who kept going AWOL."

  • Some shrimp meals on Red Lobsters' menu are better suited for the water.

7 Worst - Bar harbor lobster bake Or Lobster Wake?

This dish is the perfect example of the old expression: "look, but don't touch." It's appealing to look at; there seems to be plenty of seafood (probably in correlation to the price), and it doesn't seem to be drowning in sauce. It's perfect, so why's it on the Worst list? Seafood lovers, I say this - This heart attack on a plate has

The same amount of calories that should be consumed on a daily basis. The Red Lobster Bar Harbor Lobster Bake tips the calorie scale at 1380 calories. However, diners do rave on review boards about this dish.

I guess in consideration, if you're on vacation or a special evening out, this dish would be perfectly acceptable. But why even risk the health scare to eat a bowl of melted butter and a few pounds of protein-filled seafood? Actually, the sauce of this pasta seafood affair is technically a white wine sauce, but a base to any white wine sauce is a heavy amount of butter and wine, where the alcohol is burned off in the process, so where's the fun in that?

  • This meal is not worth the calories for nearly everyone who eats it.

6 Worst - Creamy langostino lobster baked potato Is A Cry For Help

Red Lobster in Brazil

My worst fears have come true. You may be unable to tell what this "dish" is supposed to be. However, we've been brought here today to break it down. This is Red Lobster's Creamy langostino lobster baked potato, and it is a compilation of lobster meat, butter, and heavily creamed sauce plopped on top of a soggy-looking baked potato. Hopefully, foodies have complained enough about this dish to have it removed from the menu completely because this dish can no longer be found online sporting the Red Lobster name and website connected to it.

Certain aspects go into making food, especially appetizers. Any great chef has to keep in mind the portion size and heavy weight that each dish will give guests. It is also why customers leave feeling happy and satisfied rather than gross and tired. Now, imagine this was served as your side dish of a 12-ounce beautiful piece of steak or even gorgeous fresh lobster meat. We'll make sure 9-1-1 is on standby.

  • There is too much going on with the creamy lobster.

5 Worst - Chocolate Wave To End The Night In The Hospital

After eating all-you-can-eat cheddar bay biscuits, an appetizer, and a large meal, it is now time to order dessert. Of course, everything on the dessert menu looks and sounds delicious (because they spent the big bucks on the presentation of the dessert menu), and certain plates will stand out. For example, how wonderful does a Chocolate Wave cake sound to you all? Let me explain a little further: this cake is a rich and moist chocolate cake, sporting a chocolate fudge frosting, the sides have been covered in chocolate chips, and the entire piece has been sprinkled in rich chocolate sauce. To add insult to injury, this large piece of chocolate heart-attack heaven has a pairing of vanilla ice cream, the signature dessert.

Now, imagine finishing this rather large piece of cake only to realize that this single piece of cake has enough calories to be equivalent to the meal you just had or even the daily allotted calorie intake.

  • Chocolate desserts have 1,110 calories, leading to many guests not feeling well afterward.

Yes, this cake has 1110 calories. No, thanks!

4 Worst - All-you-can-eat crab fiasco Will Take All Your Money

Red_Lobster,_Gaithersburg,_Maryland

Red Lobster location in Maryland

The Endless Crab is a commercial that Red Lobster fans have been hearing and falling in love with since the beginning of Red Lobster's day. However, this fan-favorite Red Lobster holiday may have just made the company, as a whole, seem like it was about to go bankrupt. So, as much as this waste of food festivities is loved around the hearts and bellies of the American people, it could have also cost hundreds of thousands of people to lose their employment with the fast food chain.

Here's the lowdown on that story: when the CEO of Red Lobster decided to name their crab festival the "endless crab," they were too naive to underestimate just how literal some customers would take the slogan. In fact, the president of Red Lobster, Dick Rivera, said, "It wasn't the second helping [of crab], it was the third that hurt, and the fourth." he told The Week during an interview about the possible bankruptcy.

While some customers have abused the name in its entirety, the others who have gone on to eat at the restaurant within a more normal reasoning of portions have said that the "festival" is only hyped up by marketing tactics. Lose-lose for Red Lobster.

  • All-you-can-eat crab is NOT worth it at Red Lobster restaurants.

3 Worst - Canned Shrimp Are The Perfect Addition To Nachos

Michael RiveraCC BY-SA 4.0, via Wikimedia Commons
A Red Lobster location in Tift County, Georgia

Nachos are an American staple that all patriots love to tackle before a big meal. They are best served during sports games, at movie screenings, and definitely at restaurants where it may seem like your meal may take "just a few more minutes." And while it may be popular to dress your own nachos with variations like chicken, chili, extra cheese, jalapeños, and olives, just to name a few, other options should be opted out, like shrimp. This rule applies across the board,

Regardless of what you're offering, especially when the shrimps aren't fresh from the fisheries but instead are packed and processed into air-sealed tin cans, as this lucky reviewer swears by.

"My entrée was their offering of a plate of Shrimp Nachos, which sounded good. I must say, the shrimp were of the tiny canned variety (yuk!) and the cheese on the nachos was 'slithery tasting', so not too many of those disappeared!"

- Judidunn, Florida, TripAdvisor.

It's no surprise that large fast food chains cannot afford simple luxuries, especially when it comes to fresh fish because then they wouldn't be able to call themselves "fast food" or be affordable. However, certain foods need to be splurged on, and for this example, we'll say shrimp. As a seafood chain, Red Lobster you already have the fish contracts, utilize them, and give the people what they deserve to eat!

  • Canned shrimp being served at Red Lobster has not gone over well with customers.
