Red Lobster bringing back ‘Endless Shrimp’ deal again after bungled promotion sent chain into bankruptcy
NY Post ^ | Published Aug. 22, 2026 | Teresa Mull, Fox News

The lineup includes new garlic-bread-crusted shrimp, shrimp linguini Alfredo, garlic shrimp scampi, Parrot Isle coconut shrimp and Walt’s Favorite Shrimp — hand-breaded, butterflied shrimp lightly fried and served with cocktail sauce.

Red Lobster closed dozens of locations nationwide in May 2024 before filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, Fox News previously reported.

The company told Fox News Digital it decided to bring back Endless Shrimp because the promotion still matters enormously to its customers, who “never stopped asking for it.”

“They continued telling us they missed it, showed up when we brought it back this spring and kept asking for more after that run ended,” Red Lobster said.

“We weren’t going to walk away from something they love simply because the previous operating model did not work,” the company added. “The better answer was to fix what didn’t work and bring it back in a way that is right for our guests, our restaurant teams and the company.”

According to Red Lobster, the spring run also proved the company could bring Endless Shrimp back in a way “that delights our guests and works for our restaurant teams and our business.”

Participating locations began offering the current Endless Shrimp deal for a limited time on Aug. 17.

“Guests can mix and match five flavors endlessly throughout the meal for as much shrimp as they like, any way they like it,” Red Lobster announced in a press release.

Limited time only. Some people take their Red Lobster unlimited shrimp very seriously so be careful.

No, only the very finest organic, sustainable free-range conflict-free gluten-free ethically sourced shrimp will do.

Sounds like what happened to th Osage casino buffet. They had an all you can eat buffet with crab legs. I’ve seen people help themselves to 18 inch high mounds of crab legs, then go back for seconds. Like pigs at a trough. No surprise they no longer have an all you can eat buffet.

Repo Man - Plate of Shrimp

Miller: A lot o' people don't realize what's really going on. They view life as a bunch o' unconnected incidents 'n things. They don't realize that there's this, like, lattice o' coincidence that lays on top o' everything. Give you an example; show you what I mean: suppose you're thinkin' about a plate o' shrimp. Suddenly someone'll say, like, plate, or shrimp, or plate o' shrimp out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin' for one, either. It's all part of a cosmic unconciousness.

Otto: You eat a lot of acid, Miller, back in the hippie days?

Miller: I'll give you another instance: you know how everybody's into weirdness right now?...

financially they really needed to charge this much, because people like me were going in and eating 100+ shrimp

You should have seen my dad’s shrimp feasts when he had a shrimp boat, and times when he didn’t, but would buy in bulk from those who did, and the flavor of the mounds of boiled shrimp and platters of fried shrimp, he was a feasting kind of guy sometimes.

In days of yore when America was thinner this promotion might have worked but not in today’s Obesity R Us America.
