Red Lobster’s Endless Shrimp Returns, but Buzz Isn’t What It Used to Be

Red Lobster revived Endless Shrimp for six weeks in Los Angeles after previously blaming the promo for its 2024 bankruptcy. New data shows only a modest uptick in visits and uneven demand, with diners weighing the value at around $25–$30 for unlimited shrimp and many choosing other deals. Analysts say the promotion can still drive traffic during slower periods, but its impact is softer in today’s value-conscious, high-cost environment.

Red Lobster, under new CEO Damola Adamolekun, has officially retired its popular but financially damaging Endless Shrimp promotion, focusing instead on menu innovation, value deals, and customer engagement to stabilize and revitalize the brand after emerging from bankruptcy. The company also reassures that U.S. tariffs on imported seafood will not lead to price hikes, as most key seafood is sourced domestically or from exempted regions.
