Introduction to Red Lobster’s New Deal
Red Lobster had a popular deal called Endless Shrimp last year, which was so popular that it was considered a factor when the Florida-based restaurant chain filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in May 2024. The chain now has a new shrimp promotion it calls “Ultimate SpendLESS Shrimp.” “It may not be endless, but you’ll definitely spend less,” chief executive officer Damola Adamolekun said in a news release.
Details of the SpendLESS Shrimp Deal
Red Lobster spells it out even more plainly on its terms and conditions page of its website: “Offer includes 1 single serving meal. No refills. Limited time only.” The meal is announced as $15.99 on the chain’s website, but if you read the fine print you’ll find it costs more in California.
I visited a restaurant in San Bernardino and paid $17.99 for the dish, the same price listed at other locations in Southern California.
What to Expect from the Meal
For that price you get three kinds of shrimp on a pretty large plate: Garlic Shrimp Scampi, drenched in butter; Shrimp Linguini Alfredo; and my favorite, Popcorn Shrimp with a cup of tangy cocktail sauce. The meal also included seasoned fries in a festive red-and-white-striped bag. Just to get something green, I ordered a side of seasoned broccoli for an extra $4.49. The total came to $22.48, not counting tax and tip.
Additional Perks
Yes, there were Cheddar Bay Biscuits. A basket of two arrived at my table before I placed my order, and after I devoured them another basket followed.

It may not be all-you-can-eat, but it was more than I could eat. I took nearly half of it home.
Seasonal Cocktails
Red Lobster also has a trio of seasonal cocktails: Caramel Dream, made with Absolut Vodka, butterscotch, caramel and cream; Apple Harvest Punch, made with Captain Morgan Spiced Rum, cranberry, lemon and apple juice; and Gold Rush, with Maker’s Mark Bourbon and honey.
Conclusion
In conclusion, Red Lobster’s “Ultimate SpendLESS Shrimp” deal is a great option for those looking to enjoy a variety of shrimp dishes without breaking the bank. Although it’s not all-you-can-eat like the previous Endless Shrimp deal, the portion size is generous and the price is reasonable. With the addition of Cheddar Bay Biscuits and seasonal cocktails, it’s a great value for the price.
