"As of April 20, the dwindling number of Red Lobster restaurants that still exist around the country have resummoned their most popular, and most controversial, promotion: Endless Shrimp."
"For $20, customers could order an infinite procession of shrimp, brought hot and fresh to their tables, with the only restriction being that diners must clean their plate before getting a refill."
"Red Lobster seemed to be betting on the premise that the average American would tap out after one or two dishes, but that proved to be a hysterical underestimation of good old-fashioned American shamelessness."
Red Lobster has revived its Endless Shrimp promotion, allowing customers to order unlimited shrimp for $20, with the condition of finishing each plate before refills. This promotion follows a significant reduction in restaurant locations after a bankruptcy filing in 2024. The chain's previous attempt to make Endless Shrimp a permanent menu item in 2023 underestimated the appetite of diners, leading to unexpected demand. The promotion features various shrimp dishes, including shrimp linguini and coconut shrimp, served on vibrant platters.
