🔑 Key Takeaways
- Ask the server for a biscuit side—most locations will happily add a second one.
- Red Lobster’s biscuits contain egg, which gives them a tender crumb and golden crust.
- The biscuits are high in refined flour and butter, so they’re calorie‑dense and not ideal for low‑carb or low‑fat diets.
- The chain doesn’t sell the mix, but you can find a copycat recipe online that mimics the flavor profile.
- They’re not gluten‑free; the recipe uses wheat flour and no gluten‑free alternatives.
- Reheating in a 350°F oven for 5–7 minutes restores crispness better than a microwave.
- Add cheese or herbs to the dough for a personalized twist—just keep the ratios balanced.
