From New Appetizers and Desserts to a $7 Watermelon Martini*,

There’s Something for Every Seafoodie

Orlando, Fla. (June 5, 2023) – Starting today, and for a limited time, Crabfest® is back at Red Lobster®! During the highly anticipated, crabtastic celebration, guests are invited to break out of their shells and get crackin’ with NEW! Crabfest Creations. Choose from a full pound of steamed Snow or Bairdi** Crab Legs and then select a delicious flavour option like NEW! Garlic and Herb Sauce, NEW! Honey Sriracha, NEW! Lemon Pepper, or Simply Steamed – all served over crispy potatoes, with a choice of side. Additionally, for those craving a tasty surf and turf entrée, the NEW! Crab & Oscar-Topped Sirloin features ½ lb. of Canadian snow crab paired with a 7 oz. sirloin topped with lump crab in a decadent garlic cream, served with choice of one side. And, of course, no Crabfest meal is complete without warm, buttery Red Lobster Signature Biscuits.

Choosing between an appetizer or dessert has never been easier – the answer is both. This year’s Crabfest lineup delivers, with clawsome new menu items including:

  • NEW! Crabby Cheese Fries – Seasoned fries topped with Red Lobster’s cheese sauce and lump crab in a decadent garlic cream. Perfect for sharing!
  • NEW! Strawberry Cheesecake – Red Lobster’s vanilla bean cheesecake with a fresh strawberry topping and whipped cream.
