Red Lobster kicks off its annual Crabfest on June 29 with its most customizable lineup yet, giving seafood fans more choices when it comes to crab, flavors, and spice levels.
Returning favorite Crab Your Way lets guests choose between Snow Crab or Bairdi Crab served over crispy potatoes. Diners can order the crab Simply Steamed or tossed in one of six flavors: Roasted Garlic, Cajun, Lemon Pepper, OLD BAY & Butter Sauce, RL Signature, or the new limited-time Mike's Hot Honey option, which adds the brand's signature sweet and spicy flavor.
The chain is also expanding its Seafood Boil lineup after last year's version gained traction on social media. New for this year's promotion is the Crabfest Boil, which includes twice as much crab as any existing Red Lobster boil, along with shrimp and a choice of flavor and spice level.
Beyond crab legs and boils, Crabfest also features Crab & Shrimp Linguini Alfredo, which combines lump crab meat, shrimp, linguini, creamy garlic Alfredo sauce, asparagus, and tomatoes.
Guests looking for extra crab can also add it to a variety of menu items, including Stuffed Mushrooms, Queso, Salmon Oscar, Steak Oscar, Asparagus, and Baked Potatoes.
To go along with the seafood-focused menu, Red Lobster is introducing three new tropical cocktails inspired by Hawaii:
- Magical Blue Hawaiian featuring Malibu Coconut Rum with pineapple and citrus flavors, finished with butterfly pea tea.
- Hula Punch made with Ketel One Vodka, peach and hibiscus flavors, and topped with club soda.
- Lava Flow Margarita featuring Espolòn Blanco Tequila, Malibu Coconut Rum, and strawberry hibiscus sour.
According to Chef Xavier Soto, this year's Crabfest expands guest options across the menu with additional crab varieties, flavors, spice levels, and new takes on crab dishes while keeping the interactive crab experience that has made the annual promotion a longtime favorite.
Crabfest is available for a limited time at participating Red Lobster locations nationwide beginning June 29.
