"Lobsterfest is the ultimate celebration for lobster lovers, and this year, we're taking it to the next level with more variety, more flavor, and more ways than ever for guests to satisfy their crustacean cravings," Red Lobster marketing executive Nichole Robillard said in a press release.
Former NBA All-Star Blake Griffin is the face of the new-and-improved Lobsterfest, which will feature a combination plate filled with Griffin's favorite dishes on the menu: Rock Lobster Tail, Garlic Butter-Poached Maine Lobster and Lobster Mac & Cheese (available for a limited time).
"This year's Lobsterfest is going to be epic," said "Dunk Master" Griffin in the same press release. "My Lobsterfest plate is stacked and I can't wait for fans to try it and make this year's Lobsterfest the greatest Lobsterfest of all time."

Of course, there will be plenty of other lobster-centric options for seafood lovers to try at this year's Lobsterfest, including 10 new dishes and a "Create Your Own" option which allows customers to order up to three lobster entrées.
Among the new dishes featured in the seasonal line-up are Lobster & Shrimp Linguini and a Lobster Roll. As far as sides go, diners can choose from hush puppies, popcorn shrimp and the iconic Cheddar Bay Biscuits.
Lobsterfest kicked off on Feb. 11 and will run through April 20, 2025, at participating locations.
