Update 9/2021
Don’t bother…… After Covid, everything has changed.
No gluten free menu anymore, in fact I was told by my server NOTHING was gluten free.
When we started to quiz him, he got the manager who remembered what “used” to be gluten free and he talked to the kitchen staff and prepared my meal gluten free.
The selection was extremely limited.
The food was “ok”, I could only get salad, shrimp and baked potato. ( the rice tasted “off”)
My husband who isn’t gluten free, found that the items he used to order were gone!
So he ordered something new that he could have gotten at a fast food restaurant.
Disappointed.
I will not be returning.
Ask for the gluten free guide when they seat you - it’s a book - but you won’t regret it.
All staff we have encountered have asked the chef if they are not knowledgeable about gluten in certain dishes, just ask.
I have “go-to” fav’s: Skewered scallops, shrimp, baked potato, steamed broccoli & salad.
So far no reaction, but I take a supplement, “gluten cutter”, when eating out ANYWHERE.
You never know where there could be cross contamination, and this supplement has saved me on the road.
My husband and I have been going to this Red Lobster for years and I would’ve given them a five star, but since Red Lobster left the Darden group, their food has changed a bit.

My salmon and loaded baked potato were incredible. However, it took an hour to get our food. I don’t know if that’s a fluke or no.
Also, it is so hard to navigate the allergen menu. It would be nice if they could label on menu.

Notify waitress about allergies and gf, "ask chef to prevent cross contamination". I ask for specific meals specify specifics: no onions no garlic no soy no eggs (anything I can't have can't be on the grill. My meal is: Broiled Trout with no seasoning, or snow crab, baked plain potato (no butter, only canola oil on the side), orange slices on the side. No salad

Haven’t had an issues after eating. I do only order the endless shrimp. I get the scampi and grilled skewer. They do have an online allergen menu though. All wait staff seem to understand what the allergy is and never seem to frustrated about it.

I clearly stated no gluten or dairy. My salad came out with croutons. Waitress was not knowledgeable and did not seem to take my intolerances seriously when i ordered. No gf menu except they hand you an allergy guide to go through.

We have always gone to Red Lobster for my dad's birthday and this time was the 1st time I couldn't eat gluten. Our server was knowledgeable and anything he was unsure about he was willing to find out for me. Red Lobster also has an interactive online menu with potential allergens in there most common dishes, which I had looked through ahead of time. Of course with most non-dedicated establishments, they state there's always a risk for cross- contamination. I got a special of garlic butter crab legs that come on a bed of crispy potatoes. I also got a side salad w/ ranch and the server assured me that that there would be no croutons on my salad. Everything tasted great and I had no symptoms.
