Red Lobster gluten free menu,
from its allergen guide.
Red Lobster's allergen guide lists 77 dishes, sides and sauces with no gluten in their ingredients, including the seafood boils, crab legs, lobster tails, steaks, grilled salmon and Garlic Shrimp Scampi. The biscuits, pastas, soups and anything breaded contain gluten.
The guide marks most cooked dishes with a special risk of cross-contact from the cooking method. Only 27 items have neither gluten nor that mark, and most of them are sides, sauces and desserts. If you have celiac disease or a wheat allergy, tell your server before you order.

What Red Lobster's allergen guide says
The guide points to its handcrafted dishes, shared kitchens and reliance on suppliers, and says: “we cannot eliminate the risk of cross-contact or guarantee that any item is free of any allergen.”
The guide also says its information leaves out the sides, dressings and dipping sauces served with a meal unless noted, which it lists separately. So check your sides and sauces in the tables below too.
This page follows the guide valid from to . Red Lobster's allergen guide (PDF) has every allergen for every item.

Questions about this menu
Does Red Lobster have a gluten free menu?
Red Lobster marks gluten in its allergen guide, which has a "Gluten identified within ingredients" column for every dish, side and sauce. This page lists what that column shows. The guide also says it can't guarantee any item is free of an allergen.
Are Cheddar Bay Biscuits gluten free?
No. Red Lobster's allergen guide lists gluten and wheat in the Cheddar Bay Biscuits. If you're avoiding gluten, ask your server to leave them off your table.
Is the Red Lobster seafood boil gluten free?
Red Lobster's allergen guide lists no gluten in any of the boils, flavors, spice levels or the Cajun sausage add-on. But it marks every one with a special risk of cross-contact from the cooking method, so tell your server you're avoiding gluten.
Does Red Lobster have gluten free pasta?
No. Every pasta in Red Lobster's allergen guide lists gluten in its ingredients, and so does the orzo rice that comes with the bowls.
Are Red Lobster's fries gluten free?
Red Lobster's allergen guide lists no gluten in the ingredients of its Chesapeake Fries, but it marks them with a special risk of cross-contact from the cooking method.
