We won't get into how old I am, but my birthday was last Friday. I have a rule on my birthday though – I refuse to make dinner. I think it is a good rule, and my family seems to abide by it. This year, we spent my birthday at Red Lobster!
This sight is what you always see when we go to Red Lobster. My kids love watching the lobsters in the tank they have at my local Red Lobster. We had a 45 minute wait, so this definitely kept the kids busy for part of that. We then ordered our drinks and appetizers. Since it was my birthday, I ordered a Strawberry Lobsterita.
Bill had a Lobster Rum. This refreshing limited edition specialty drink features Malibu Red, pineapple juice and mango passion fruit mix, topped with Myers’s Dark Rum.
We then ordered my favorite appetizer – shrimp cocktail!
Funny thing is — Madison ate most of them. However, Bill ate most of the delicious biscuits:
I ordered the tilapia but Bill had the Lobster Scampi Linguini. This is succulent Maine lobster meat over a bed of linguini in a white wine and garlic-scampi sauce. He said it was delicious!
Since we were there to celebrate my #Lobsterworthy moment (my birthday!), we also had dessert – brownie a la mode.
For those of you who don't know, Red Lobster is the world's largest seafood restaurant company with over 700 restaurants in the United States and Canada. They serve freshly prepared seafood at reasonable prices in a lively, contemporary seaside atmosphere and offers lobster options on virtually every page of the menu. If you are lucky like me, you can walk there too. (It's literally down the street from where I live!). Lobsterfest is going on now and for a limited time. It is the one time of year you can choose from the largest variety of lobster dishes on the menu. Exclusive dishes that are only available during Lobsterfest:
- Lobster Lover’s Dream® – A succulent rock lobster tail and sweet split Maine lobster tail, roasted and served with lobster-and-shrimp linguini Alfredo.
- Dueling Lobster Tails – two Maine lobster tails, one roasted and topped with tender shrimp in a creamy garlic sauce, the other golden-baked with crab-and-seafood stuffing.
- Rock Island Stuffed Tilapia – Fresh tilapia roasted with crab-and-seafood stuffing and topped with Maine lobster meat in a creamy lobster butter sauce.
This was a great way to celebrate my birthday and an awesome night out with my family. Have you been to Red Lobster before? Would you order any of the exclusive dishes for Lobsterfest or is there something else off the menu you love? Do you have any #Lobsterworthy moments you need to celebrate?

We don’t eat seafood at our house, but I would love to indulge in one of those margaritas! Looks so good.
I love Red Lobster. So much. I live in the south, and Red Lobster is kind down here when it comes to seafood. All of their dishes are SO good.
I love Red Lobster. Even though I’m not a shellfish person, my husband is, and they have nice options for those of us who don’t eat crustaceans.

We don’t really eat seafood too at our house but those prawns look really yummy. I would love a magarita too 🙂
I only ate at Red Lobster once, unfortunately the food I order was way too salty so I have never gone back since. Looks like a pretty good birthday celebration for you !
We have the ‘eat dinner out’ rule for my birthday, too!! Red Lobster is my dad’s favorite place to eat out.
I love the biscuits at Red Lobster!!! Those drinks look amazing as well. I have not been in a while I may need to change that.

I love eating at Red Lobster. My favorite things to order are shrimp scampi, popcorn shrimp or coconut shrimp, or crab legs.
Oh I am green with envy…only because I absolutely love eating at Red Lobster, but I just realized that it has been awhile since my family and I have been there! Well because of your post I will definitely plan a visit this week-end and try all the dishes you posted! Thanks for sharing!
I need to try a Strawberry Lobsterita. That drink looks so good. Sounds like you a had wonderful birthday dinner. I don’t cook on my birthday either 🙂
My boyfriend eats the seafood and I fill up on those cheddar bay biscuits. Happy Birthday, Lisa!
Although I’m a vegetarian and they don’t have an ideal selection for vegetarians, I do like to go there once in a blue moon and have a mixed drink or two. They have such a wonderful selection, too!
I am absolutely addicted to Red Lobster’s cheddar biscuits! They are so dang delicious. It looks you had a great time, but that 45 minute wait would have done me in, lol!
I love Red Lobster! Med and the hubby go every chance we get!
I love the lobster linguine from Red Lobster too! My family always celebrates special occasions there. That’s how much we love the food there!
That drink looks tasty! Red Lobster offers such great foods and drinks!

Yum those cheddar biscuits are awesome! I have the same rule about birthdays. I don’t think I should have to cook either.
Wow! The Lobsterita is huge! Hope you had a wonderful birthday! 🙂
I haven’t been to Red Lobster in so long!! I really need to go! And Happy Birthday!
I haven’t been to a Red Lobster in such a long time. My hubby is allergic to fish so I don’t get a chance to enjoy it often as I would like to . Happy Belated Birthday 🙂
I love lobster!! And I have a Red Lobster gift card from my birthday that I haven’t use yet… Sounds like I need to schedule date night!

How fun! I have been to Red Lobster in YEARS!
I love the cheddar biscuits! It sounds like you guys had a wonderful bday dinner!
Happy Belated Birthday to you! Our birthday rule of thumb is that the birthday person gets to choose what they want for dinner.
I love red lobster.. mmm their lobster dipped in butter 🙂 You’ve got me craving it now!
What a fun way to celebrate a birthday! I’ve never been to Red Lobster myself but I want to go there just to try those biscuits!
it looks like you had a lot of fun. we haven’t been to red lobster in years
I have been to Red Lobster maybe three to four times in the last month and a half. I wish they would take reservations though, I nearly had to wait two hours the last time I went. So worth it for those biscuits and pina coldas!
I love lobster but have not had it in so long! I love the biscuits from Red Lobster. That first drink looks like it was as big as your head ol
That’s quite a drink! I haven’t been to a Red Lobster in years…I used to love the biscuits there!
The drinks looks fantastic! Happy to see you had a great birthday 🙂
My husband (who’s from Italy) decided he wanted to go to Red Lobster for the first time this year for his birthday. I have to say that he was underwhelmed…probably because he comes from an island where fresh seafood is easy to come by and also prepared exceptionally well!
Um! Cheesy biscuits! Yum! I love Red Lobster, but haven’t been in ages. Maybe it’s time to take another trip! Happy Birthday!
I love Red Lobster. They have quite a few menu items that can be made perfectly healthy. I dont live near one anymore, which is probably a good thing. LOL
Oh my that seafood looks delicious! I just recently started eating shrimp so I need to check out Red Lobster again.
Oh man, Red Lobster is on my bucket list of places to try! I love seafood, and could eat it every single day!
I’m not much a seafood person but those drinks look yummy! I wonder if there is a Red Lobster around here? I think there used to be.
Just by looking at the pictures, you have me drooling! What got me was the lobsterita. It looked way to cool for a margarita or shake. I wish to have that.
I love Red Lobster so much! The biscuits YUM and that lobster dish looks delicious!
Oh those biscuits! Looks like a great celebration!
Happy belated birthday! I could use one of those big Lobsteritas right about now!
My hubby loves Red Lobster! And who can resist the cheese biscuits.
I’m not a big seafood fan, but I love their cheddar biscuits. That lobsterita look delicious!!
Happy Birthday! I have a shellfish allergy so I avoid Red Lobster but I’ve heard amazing things about their dinner rolls!
I love seafood but I am the only one if my family that feels that way. I would love to go to Red Lobster.
I love Red Lobster! I am no sea food eater, but they have other great foods that are not seafood.
wow, what a great way to celebrate and look at that drink! i haven’t been to red lobster in forever!
Wow, that is one birthday-sized Strawberry Lobsterita! I haven’t had one of those before, I might just have to try one. I also might have to try the Lobster Scampi Linguini – that looks really good! BTW, Happy Belated birthday!
My kids love looking at the lobsters too! I used to get a Lobsterita there, it was delicious! 🙂
Red lobster is one of my favorite places to eat. I love the live lobster tanks and the drinks are fabulous.
I took my daughter here for her 19th birthday almost 2 weeks ago and spent an arm and a leg here but it was Lobster Fest and you can’t skip out on Lobster Fest. 🙂
I take my mom to Red Lobster for her birthday almost every year. It is a great place to celebrate.
Honestly, I’ve never tried red lobster cause of my allergy. My husband loves Red lobster and he really always wanted it. by the way belated happy birthday to you!
