What is Red Lobster’s Lobsterfest?
Red Lobster Lobsterfest is a celebration of all things lobster. The restaurant dishes out exclusive entrees that you can only get during the weeks of Lobsterfest, which is generally from mid-January through February.
Note: There are plenty of entrees to choose from, but sadly, there are little to no savings since there are usually no equivalent menu items.
What can you get at Red Lobster’s Lobsterfest?
Lobsterfest always adds new menu items alongside returning fan favorites at your local Red Lobster, and this year is no exception. Each meal will cost you from $17.99 to $51.99, depending on your order.
