Red Lobster brings back highly anticipated fan favorite and introduces two new dishes - but for a li
RED Lobster fans will be excited to know that one popular dish is back - but only for a limited time.
The chain restaurant's annual promotional Lobsterfest brings two brand new entrées to Red Lobster's menu, along with returning fan-favorite dish Lobster Lover's Dream.
The seafood restaurant's event, which started on January 23, sees brand new dishes Lobster & Shrimp Tacos and Lobster & Shrimp-Topped Sirloin added to the menu.
However, Lobsterfest ends on April 24 - which means lobster fans should hurry to get their seafood fix before their favorite dishes leave the menu.
On top of the two new dishes and the Lobster Lover's Dream, the Lobsterfest lineup includes Maine Lobster Tail Duo, Live Maine Lobster, and Bar Harbor Lobster Bake.
Of course, every Lobsterfest meal is served with their beloved Cheddar Bay Biscuits.

Lobsterfest guests can also enjoy their meals with two brand new cocktails in addition to the Classic Lobsterita - a Berry Sunset Lobsterita and a Passion Fruit Lobsterita, which is available frozen.
Patty Trevino, Chief Marketing Officer at Red Lobster, said: “For this year’s Lobsterfest, we’ve created a menu that’s perfect for both the already lob-sessed as well as those looking to expand their love of lobster."
“The multiple ways we are offering lobster this year will satisfy any craving, and you can even add some variety by pairing shrimp or steak with it.
"Lobster lovers won’t want to miss this year’s event," Trevino concluded.

The exciting menu comes as Red Lobster has closed at least eight of its restaurants recently in an effort to build back the business.
Red Lobster, which was founded in 1968, has 680 restaurants in its portfolio across the US and Canada.
The company is in the process of improving its menu and operations, which will likely vary depending on location.
These changes come after Red Lobster was acquired by one of its major seafood suppliers and investors, Thai Union Group and Seafood Alliance, in 2020.
The purchase was seen as an effort to grow the business once more as it was taken over by two well-known global restaurant operators, Paul Kenny and Rit Thirakomen.
The chain said the latest closures are a normal part of the process and path to growth.
"We regularly review our restaurant portfolios as part of the normal course of business," a Red Lobster spokesperson told The U.S Sun.
"As a result, we have concluded that these locations are no longer right for Red Lobster," they added.
