Seasonal Event Calendar
LobsterFest generally runs in the winter/spring window, and Crabfest runs in the summer. Exact start and end dates shift year to year and by location, so confirm current dates on the Red Lobster app or website before planning a visit around them.
| Seasonal Event | Usually Available | Featured Items |
| LobsterFest | Winter | Premium lobster entrées and combinations |
| Crabfest | Summer | Snow crab legs, crab boils, crab combinations |
| Endless Shrimp | Selected periods | Unlimited shrimp preparations |
| Holiday Specials | November – December | Family meals and seafood celebrations |
Current Limited Time Specials
At any given time, expect one or two rotating specials tied to the active seasonal event, plus the standing weekday lunch specials. See “Lunch Menu Prices“ earlier in the Complete Menu Breakdown section for the full table.
Red Lobster Family Meals Menu
Family Meal bundles are built to feed a group without everyone ordering separately, typically pairing multiple entrées, shareable sides, and a full basket of biscuits. They generally run $48–$75 depending on the entrées included, and they’re one of the better value plays on the menu if you’re feeding three or more people.
See the Red Lobster All Menus Specials Family Deals for bundle pricing by group size.
Health-Conscious Options
Red Lobster’s menu has meaningful room for lighter eating: grilled, steamed, or broiled seafood (rather than fried) keeps calories down, Wood-Grilled Atlantic Salmon and Garlic Shrimp Scampi are common lighter picks, and several entrées are available under 600 calories. Grilled fish, side salads, and baked potatoes can typically be made gluten-free; always confirm with your server, since preparation can vary by location and cross-contact in a shared kitchen is possible.
Where Does Red Lobster Seafood Come From?
Red Lobster sources seafood through a global supply chain, pairing wild-caught species like Maine lobster and snow crab with farm-raised options such as shrimp and salmon. The company has publicly emphasized sustainability and responsible-sourcing commitments as part of its seafood program. For the most current, restaurant-specific sourcing claims, Red Lobster’s own site is the most authoritative source, since sourcing partners can change.
Red Lobster Menu Allergen Information
As a seafood-focused restaurant, cross-contact with shellfish, fish, and other major allergens is possible across the kitchen, even in dishes that don’t contain seafood themselves. Red Lobster provides allergen information on request and through its nutrition guide. Guests with food allergies should always ask staff directly rather than relying solely on a printed or online menu description, since recipes and suppliers can change. See our Red Lobster gluten-free menu for dishes suitable for gluten-sensitive diners. Cross-contamination is possible in a shared kitchen.
| Allergen | Common Menu Items |
| Shellfish | Lobster, shrimp, crab |
| Fish | Salmon, cod, flounder |
| Milk | Cheddar Bay Biscuits, Alfredo dishes |
| Wheat | Biscuits, breaded seafood, sandwiches |
| Eggs | Desserts, some sauces |
| Soy | Marinades and dressings |
Red Lobster Menu Nutritional Information
Full nutrition details calories, sodium, and other values are published for menu items and are typically available through the Red Lobster website, the mobile app, or by asking in-restaurant. Calorie counts for combination platters are often given as a range (for example, 720–1,940 calories) since they depend on which sides and proteins you choose. If you’re specifically checking calories or full nutrition values before ordering, the Red Lobster website’s nutrition guide is the most current and detailed source. Grilled salmon with steamed broccoli, for example, comes in under 500 calories — one of the lighter combinations on the menu. Explore our complete Red Lobster Nutrition Guide for official calorie counts, protein, fat, sodium, and healthy meal recommendations. Compare menu items before you order and make informed dining choices.
| Menu Item | Estimated Calories | Notes |
| Cheddar Bay Biscuit (1) | 150 – 160 | Contains gluten and dairy |
| Garlic Shrimp Scampi | 430 – 550 | High in sodium |
| Ultimate Feast | 1,100 – 1,400 | High protein, high sodium |
| Grilled Salmon | 350 – 480 | High protein, heart-healthy |
| Kids Grilled Chicken | 200 – 280 | Lean protein option |
| Key Lime Pie (slice) | 450 – 530 | High in sugar |
Red Lobster Menu Promotions
Outside of the big seasonal events, Red Lobster regularly runs weekday lunch specials, $15-tier dinner deals, and rotating limited-time discounts, many of which stack with My Red Lobster Rewards for extra savings. Some locations also run a specific weekly discount day (guests often ask about a “Tuesday special”), but this isn’t a standardized, chain-wide offer — it varies by restaurant and season. The best way to track live promotions, including any current daily or weekly deal, is the Red Lobster app, which updates faster than most third-party menu sites.
Red Lobster Kids Menu With Prices
The kids menu includes six options for younger diners, each running $6.99–$8.49 and served with a side and a complimentary Cheddar Bay Biscuit. Macaroni & Cheese, at $6.99, is typically the lowest-priced item on the entire menu. See the full Kids Menu prices and customization options.

| Macaroni & Cheese | $6.99 |
| Crispy Chicken Tenders | $7.99 |

Red Lobster Senior Menu With Prices
Some locations offer a dedicated senior menu with smaller portions at a lower price point, generally in the $10–$18 range, aimed at guests who want a lighter meal without paying full entrée pricing. Availability is location-dependent, so it’s worth calling ahead. Red Lobster Senior Menu With Prices
Senior Dining Options
Where offered, senior options typically include smaller versions of popular seafood plates alongside lighter, lower-calorie choices.
Red Lobster Senior Discounts & Benefits
Some locations offer a senior discount; reports vary between roughly 10% and 15% off, with an age threshold anywhere from 55 to 60 depending on the source and restaurant, but this benefit is not guaranteed chain-wide. It’s a location-level decision, doesn’t apply automatically, and is generally not available on delivery orders, so guests should confirm the exact percentage and age cutoff with their server before ordering rather than assuming it applies. Similarly, some locations extend a discount to veterans and active military, particularly around Veterans Day — availability and terms vary by restaurant, so it’s worth calling ahead or asking your server, especially if you’re planning a visit around the holiday.
Red Lobster Secret Menu Items You Must Try In August 2026
“Secret menu” items at Red Lobster generally aren’t official, hidden dishes so much as customizations regulars have discovered work well — building your own combo feast, doubling up on a favorite sauce, or requesting off-menu preparations of standard ingredients.
Secret Menu Items And Hacks
| Hack | How To Order It |
| Grilled Lobster | Ask your server to grill instead of steam your lobster for a charred flavor; availability varies by location. |
| Hold the Butter | Request seafood cooked with olive oil instead of butter for a lighter, less rich version of the dish. |
| Extra Cheddar Biscuits | Ask for extra biscuits, or extra cheddar on top, beyond the standard basket. |
| Onion Strings as a Starter | Order the onion strings that normally come as a side on their own, as an appetizer — pairs well with peach bourbon BBQ sauce. |
| Custom Fish Substitution | If your preferred fish isn’t listed, ask your server whether a fresh alternative like salmon or halibut can be substituted, usually at a higher price. |
| Custom “Create Your Own” Combos | Mix and match beyond the printed feast combinations when building a LobsterFest or Ultimate Feast-style plate. |

Red Lobster Rules & Regulations
General dine-in policies, dress code (casual), reservation and wait-list handling, and party-size accommodations — are set at the restaurant level and can vary by location. For anything specific to your visit (large groups, special occasions, accessibility needs), it’s best to call your local restaurant directly.
Red Lobster Delivery Protocols: Ordering, Fees & More
Red Lobster offers both through its own website/app and through major third-party delivery platforms. Menu selection, pricing, and delivery fees can differ slightly between ordering direct and ordering through a third-party app, so it’s worth comparing before you check out. Ordering direct on RedLobster.com is also required to redeem most Rewards points.
Overview Of Red Lobster Delivery Services
Guests can choose dine-in, To Go/curbside pickup, or delivery, with most of the core menu — and select seasonal items — available across all three formats.
Ordering Process
Order directly through RedLobster.com or the My Red Lobster Rewards app for pickup or use a supported third-party delivery app. Signing into your Rewards account before checkout ensures points are credited.
Red Lobster’s Delivery Partners
In addition to direct ordering, Red Lobster partners with major third-party delivery platforms including DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Grubhub at participating locations. Availability of specific partners varies by restaurant and market, and prices on delivery platforms often run slightly higher than dine-in due to service and fees.
Important Notes Before You Visit
Confirm current hours and any seasonal-menu availability before you go, especially around holidays; check whether your specific location offers senior discounts, since it’s not guaranteed everywhere; and sign into your Rewards account before ordering online if you want to earn or redeem points.
Delivery Fees And Hours Breakdown
Delivery fees vary by platform, distance, and location — third-party apps typically add their own service and delivery fees on top of menu pricing, while ordering direct may offer lower or no delivery fees depending on order size and location.

Most Red Lobster restaurants are open daily from around 11:00 AM to 9:00–10:00 PM on weekdays, extending to roughly 11:00 PM on weekends. Hours vary by location and holiday.

Red Lobster Holiday Hours August 2026
Hours often shift or restaurants close entirely on major holidays. Like most full-service chains, Red Lobster locations are typically closed on Christmas Day, with modified hours common on Thanksgiving, New Year’s Day, and Easter, so if you’re asking whether Red Lobster is open on Christmas, the answer at most locations is no. Since August 2026 has no major U.S. holiday closures typical for full-service restaurants, expect standard hours this month, but always check your specific location before a holiday-adjacent visit later in the year.

Red Lobster Locations
Red Lobster operates roughly 545 restaurants (as of 2025) across the United States, plus locations internationally in Canada, Ecuador, Japan, Mexico, and Thailand. Use the restaurant locator on RedLobster.com or the app to find the nearest location, its specific hours, and whether it offers features like a senior menu or happy hour.
Following its 2024 Chapter 11 restructuring, Red Lobster closed more than 50 underperforming restaurants nationwide, and a handful of additional individual locations have closed since. If you’re wondering whether a specific restaurant near you is still open — or looking for the nearest alternative after a local closure the official locator is the most reliable source, since it reflects closures in real time rather than a snapshot.
