"Cheaper than most Red Lobster's signature feasts, seafood boils, and even some of the shrimp plates, it all starts with a humble, plain baked potato (the lowest cost tier on the sides menu, alongside cole slaw, fries, and broccoli). This is the foundation for a decadent dish worthy of its secret hack reputation. Now all you have to do is choose your dip. Red Lobster currently offers two at the same price that are better than the beurre blanc sauce: Lobster Dip and Crab Queso."
"Through all the ups and downs, the love for Red Lobster's annual Lobster Fest, Crab Fest, and its now-defunct Endless Shrimp has been real. Even with multiple ownership changes and a 2024 bankruptcy caused by the perfect storm of rising operating costs, its $20 all-you-can-eat shrimp promotion (RIP), and the COVID-19 pandemic, Red Lobster has proven its staying power, slowly working its way back to recovery."
Red Lobster offers classic seafood items and signature sides like Cheddar Bay Biscuits. A secret-menu upgrade transforms a plain baked potato into a rich, seafood-topped dish by adding Lobster Dip or Crab Queso, sidestepping the sparse crustacean meat in the Creamy Lobster Baked Potato. The plain baked potato is among the lowest-cost sides, making the dip-topped version cheaper than many feasts, boils, and shrimp plates. Lobster Dip and Crab Queso are offered at the same price, with Lobster Dip delivering the most value. Red Lobster has operated since 1968 and is gradually recovering after promotional shifts, ownership changes, and a 2024 bankruptcy.
