Red Lobster: Summer is finally here, and that means it’s time for delicious new food and drinks at all our favourite restaurants! It’s that exciting time of year when menus get a seasonal makeover, and we’re definitely here for it. From Chick-fil-A’s new frosted lemonade to Taco Bell trying out crispy chicken strips, it’s clear that this summer is going to be full of bold flavours and fun surprises.
And now, another popular place is joining the party, Red Lobster! If you love seafood, you’re in for a treat. Red Lobster just brought back its famous Crabfest, and the new menu is packed with crab-inspired dishes that are full of flavour. That’s not all, they’ve also added some cool, refreshing summer cocktails to help you chill out on those hot days.
So, whether you’re craving something light, zesty, or totally indulgent, Red Lobster’s new summer offerings might just be your next go-to meal.

Red Lobster’s Crabfest is officially back, and seafood fans have a lot to get excited about this summer! The star of the event is their Crab Your Way dish, a full pound of crab legs, cooked just how you like them. You even get to pick your favourite seasoning, including a new flavour this year: a bold and cheesy mix of Old Bay & Parmesan. Yum!
But that’s just the beginning. Red Lobster has added several fresh and flavorful crab-focused dishes to celebrate the season, and two of the most exciting new choices are the Mariner’s Boil and the Sailor’s Boil, both perfect for a hearty, satisfying seafood meal.
-
The Mariner’s Boil is a seafood lover’s dream! It comes with a Maine lobster tail, 12 juicy shrimp, snow crab legs, sweet corn, and soft red potatoes.
-
The Sailor’s Boil, on the other hand, skips the lobster and crab but brings together a savoury mix of smoked sausage and shrimp, along with the same corn and red potatoes for that classic seafood boil vibe.
And here’s the fun part, you can customise your boil with three mouthwatering seasoning options: Roasted Garlic Butter, Cajun Butter, or the iconic Old Bay seasoning. Each flavour gives your meal a whole new twist, so you might find yourself coming back to try them all!
Red Lobster has more new dishes to choose from. If you’re a steak fan, the Steak Oscar might just be your new favourite. It’s a tender sirloin steak topped with rich lump crabmeat and finished with a creamy, luxurious sauce. For a lighter option, try the Salmon Oscar, which replaces the steak with buttery Atlantic salmon, equally delicious and packed with flavour.

And no meal is complete without some tasty sides, right? Red Lobster now offers two premium crab-topped sides for summer: Crab-Topped Asparagus and Crab-Topped Potato. Both add the perfect finishing touch to your seafood feast. Want to start your meal with something warm and satisfying? Go for the Crabby Stuffed Mushrooms, soft mushrooms filled with a rich, savoury crab filling that makes a perfect appetiser.
Now, let’s talk drinks! Red Lobster has added three new summer cocktails that are bright, colourful, and full of fun:
-
The Starry Eyed Surprise is a vibrant blue drink made with Patrón Silver Tequila, guava, blue curaçao, and finished with Starry® lemon-lime soda and a sugar rim, sweet, sparkly, and so refreshing!
-
The Purple Haze is a stunning magenta cocktail that features Still G.I.N. by Dre and Snoop, desert pear, lemonade, and a touch of gold shimmer. It looks magical and tastes amazing.
-
And finally, the Passion Star Spritz is a bubbly, fruity drink made with Tito’s Handmade Vodka and passionfruit, topped off with Wycliff Sparkling Wine and a gold-dusted dried starfruit, a fancy little detail that makes it perfect for summer sipping.
Best of all? These new dishes and drinks are already available! So you don’t have to wait, head to your nearest Red Lobster anytime and enjoy all the new summer flavours while they last.
