Red Lobster Menu with Prices and Calories

The Red Lobster menu runs across fifteen priced sections. Shrimp turns up in nearly every part of the board, scampi-style, fried, grilled or folded into a linguini. Seafood boils and feasts sit at the higher end. Steak, chicken and pasta plates cover guests skipping seafood entirely.

Every item kept on this list carries a dollar figure at its listed size, and all but two carry a calorie figure as well. Fifteen sections cover the full board below, running from the shareable boils through the drinks.

Red Lobster Menu Prices and Calories

The Red Lobster menu spans fifteen sections once unpriced items drop off the list. It covers shrimp, lobster, steak, pasta and a long run of soups and sides. Seafood boils and signature feasts anchor the pricier end of the board.

The kids section and a handful of biscuit-and-extras add-ons sit at the other end. Sections below follow the board roughly the way a server would walk a table through it, from the shareable boils down to dessert.

Red Lobster Seafood Boils

Seafood Boils lists four pots on the Red Lobster menu, two single boils and two Family Meals for larger groups. Mariner’s Seafood Boil Family Meal holds the highest price of the four. Sailor’s Seafood Boil Family Meal carries the widest calorie range. Sailor’s Seafood Boil has the lowest price, while Mariner’s Seafood Boil has the lowest calorie range.

Parrot Isle Coconut Shrimp Platter, Walt’s Favorite Shrimp Platter and Crunchy Popcorn Shrimp Platter cover the shrimp-tray end of the list. The eight family sides, from Family Coleslaw to Family Crispy Brussels Sprouts, round out a platter rather than anchor a meal.

Strawberry Cheesecake Bliss carries the highest calorie count at 1170, with Chocolate Wave close behind at 1110. Key Lime Pie runs lightest at 580. Brownie Overboard® and Strawberry Cheesecake Bliss share the top price of $10.99.

Red Lobster Hot Platters

Hot Platters holds two shareable trays built for a group rather than a single diner. Crispy Chicken Tenders Platter carries the higher calorie count and the higher price of the pair. Mozzarella Sticks Platter runs lower on both, a cheese-forward alternative to the chicken tray.

Red Lobster Beverages

Beverages gathers six drink groups on the Red Lobster menu, four with calorie ranges and two without a calorie figure. Fruit Smoothies, Fountain Drinks, Lemonades & Iced Teas and Mocktails each print a range, since the flavor or soda chosen changes the count. Mocktails cost the most of the six at $6.49, and Canned & Bottled Beverages the least at $2.50. Canned & Bottled Beverages and Half Gallon Beverages sit in the second table.

Red Lobster Locations

Red Lobster operates 499 restaurants across 43 states. That count is what remains after a wave of closures tied to the chain’s 2024 bankruptcy reorganization. Texas carries more locations than any other state, with 41 restaurants trading there.

Cincinnati and San Antonio tie for the most locations in a single city, at four apiece. Vermont remains the one state with no Red Lobster location at all.

What to Expect Inside a Red Lobster

Every Red Lobster dining room centers on a bar and a seafood display near the entrance. A basket of warm Cheddar Bay Biscuits® usually arrives before the rest of the order. A server typically walks new guests through whatever boil, feast or shrimp promotion is running that month.

Red Lobster rotates limited-time platters onto the menu several times a year. Fried, grilled and steamed preparations all come out of the same kitchen. A scampi and a basket of popcorn shrimp can land at the same table minutes apart.

Families tend to gravitate toward the platters and family meals sized to feed four. A shorter run of steaks and pastas covers guests skipping seafood entirely. Shellfish, finfish and dairy turn up across most of the Red Lobster menu, and the item-by-item allergen breakdown tracks exactly where each one appears.
