Red Lobster Discount Gift Cards
How to use Red Lobster gift cards
Red Lobster gift cards work for dine-in at participating Red Lobster restaurants in the United States and for online To Go orders placed at redlobster.com.
In-restaurant, present the eGift card barcode or read the card number to your server at the end of the meal. Online, choose Gift Card as your payment method at checkout and enter the gift card number and PIN. If your total is higher than the card balance, you can pay the difference with another method, and any leftover balance stays on the card for next time.
Gift cards are not valid for catering orders or for third-party delivery services such as DoorDash, Uber Eats, or Grubhub.
Gift cards cover the full menu: live Maine lobster and lobster tails, Endless Shrimp, shrimp scampi, snow crab and king crab, Walt's Favorite Shrimp, fresh fish, salmon, the Ultimate Feast, lunch entrées, sides, desserts, and the Cheddar Bay Biscuits.

Saving on Red Lobster
Lobster entrées and the Ultimate Feast typically run $35 to $45 or more, shrimp and seafood combos land in the $20 to $30 range, and lunch entrées start around $13 to $20. A family dinner for four can easily climb past $120 before drinks and dessert. A discounted Red Lobster gift card lowers the total on every visit, and it stacks with any current promotions, lunch specials, or limited-time menu pricing such as Lobsterfest or Endless Shrimp.

Red Lobster promo codes and coupons
Searching for Red Lobster promo codes? Codes are hit or miss, expire quickly, and often exclude what you actually want. A discounted Red Lobster gift card works differently: it gives you a guaranteed discount on every purchase, stacks on top of any sale or coupon you do find, and never expires. Check the current discount above, then apply the card at checkout.
