About us

Red Lobster, known for its fresh seafood and endless Cheddar Bay Biscuits®, has grown from a single family-owned restaurant to over 500 locations across the U.S. and Canada. For over 50 years, we’ve been serving coastal classics and taking pride in setting the table for our guests’ favorite meals shared while celebrating occasions both big and small. More than just a restaurant, we’re part of the communities we serve.

Reel Support

Caring For Our Oceans

As one of the world’s largest seafood purchasers, we believe it’s our responsibility to protect and preserve our oceans and marine life for generations to come. We make a promise to ourselves and to our guests that all the seafood we serve is sourced with standards.

Red Lobster Cares

Fueled by voluntary employee donations, the Red Lobster Employee Emergency Assistance Fund allows us to offer meaningful support to team members facing unexpected financial hardship. Every donation—no matter the size—helps ease the burden during life’s most difficult moments, reminding us that we’re never alone when we need help the most.

Red Lobster Shares

We started the Red Lobster Shares program in 2003 as a way to give back to the communities we’re part of. We donate unused, wholesome food to local food pantries, homeless shelters and community organizations every week, because we believe success also means supporting those who need it most.
