Popular Individual Desserts at Red Lobster
Red Lobster Chocolate Wave
Chocolate Wave is Red Lobster’s signature chocolate dessert. It’s built from layers of moist chocolate cake, wrapped in fudge frosting, finished with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and drizzled with warm chocolate sauce. It’s rich, so splitting it is common — but if you’re a serious chocolate fan, it’s worth having to yourself.
- Price: $8.39
- Calories: 1,490 | Fat: 81g | Carbs: 172g | Protein: 18g
Red Lobster Classic Cheesecake
This is a straightforward New York-style cheesecake on a graham cracker base, topped with a bit of whipped cream. It’s smooth, not overly sweet, and a safe pick if you’d rather not gamble on flavor.
- Price: $8.39
- Calories: 700 | Fat: 50g | Carbs: 60g | Protein: 8g
Red Lobster Strawberry Cheesecake Bliss
Take the Classic Cheesecake and add fresh strawberries and extra whipped cream, and you get Strawberry Cheesecake Bliss. It’s lighter-tasting than it sounds thanks to the fruit, making it a good middle ground between indulgent and refreshing.
- Price: $8.39
- Calories: 720 | Fat: 45g | Carbs: 65g | Protein: 9g
Red Lobster Key Lime Pie
If your meal leaned heavy — think Ultimate Feast or a big platter — Key Lime Pie is the dessert that resets your palate. The graham cracker crust and tart lime filling cut through the richness of a seafood dinner nicely.
- Price: $8.39
- Calories: 580 | Fat: 22g | Carbs: 88g | Protein: 0g
Red Lobster Brownie Overboard
This one leans into excess on purpose: warm brownie wedges topped with caramel, fudge, whipped cream, and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It’s the largest, most calorie-dense option on the list, and it’s built for sharing at the table.
- Price: $9.49
- Calories: 1,020 | Fat: 57g | Carbs: 121g | Protein: 13g
Red Lobster Vanilla Bean Cheesecake
Vanilla Bean Cheesecake doesn’t always show up on every printed menu, but it’s a well-known name in Red Lobster’s dessert lineup and worth calling out on its own. It’s a smoother, more fragrant take on the Classic Cheesecake, with real vanilla bean specks running through the filling.
Whole Desserts at Red Lobster (For Sharing & Parties)
Feeding a table or bringing something home for a family gathering? Red Lobster sells full-size desserts by the slice count, not just single servings — a natural add-on if you’re already looking at family meal bundles or the catering menu for a bigger event.
| Dessert | Serving Size | Price |
| Triple-Chocolate Brownie | 24 pieces | $34.99 |
| Chocolate Wave | 14 slices | $59.99 |
| Classic Cheesecake | 10 slices | $49.99 |
| Key Lime Pie | 8 slices | $34.99 |
These whole desserts taste the same as the single-serving versions — you’re really just paying for the volume, which works out to solid value per slice for a group.
Sizes and pricing above reflect Red Lobster’s published whole-dessert options and can change or vary by location — confirm current details before ordering.
Red Lobster Dessert Prices and Value
Individual desserts sit in a tight range: $8.39 to $9.49. Whole desserts run from $34.99 for the brownie tray or Key Lime Pie up to $59.99 for the full Chocolate Wave. Given restaurant dessert pricing in general, Red Lobster lands on the reasonable side, especially when a whole dessert is split six or eight ways at a party.

Seeing a dessert before you order it makes the decision easier, especially for anyone comparing Chocolate Wave against Brownie Overboard (both chocolate, both huge — but genuinely different). Photos of each item are available on the official Red Lobster website and typically posted in-restaurant near the dessert case as well, since presentation is a big part of what makes these desserts feel special.
Is the Red Lobster Cheesecake Price Worth It?
At $8.39, the Classic Cheesecake and Strawberry Cheesecake Bliss are priced the same as everything else on the individual dessert list, so the real question is portion and quality rather than price. Compared to a slice at a standalone cheesecake chain, Red Lobster’s version is a bit smaller but noticeably cheaper, and it’s convenient — you’re already at the table. For the price, it’s a fair deal rather than a splurge.
Best Dessert at Red Lobster – Our Pick
There’s no wrong answer here, but if we had to choose one: Chocolate Wave. It’s a longtime menu staple, it photographs well, and it delivers exactly what the name promises. Brownie Overboard is a strong runner-up for anyone splitting dessert with two or three other people — it’s built for that.
Nutritional Information and Dietary Tips
Calories swing a lot across this menu — from 580 (Key Lime Pie) up to 1,490 (Chocolate Wave). If you’re watching intake:
- Key Lime Pie and Strawberry Cheesecake Bliss are the lighter picks.
- Chocolate Wave and Brownie Overboard are the two to split rather than finish solo.
- Always double check current nutrition figures with your server, or see our full nutrition guide, since recipes and portion sizes can shift.
Are Red Lobster Desserts Made In-House?
Desserts are prepared using standardized company recipes across locations, which is typical for a national chain — some components may be baked off-site and finished in-restaurant, while others are assembled fresh to order. If exact preparation details matter to you (for allergy or dietary reasons), your server can confirm specifics for your location.
Tips for Ordering Red Lobster Desserts
Consider Your Meal
Match the dessert to what you already ate. A light lunch can handle something rich like Chocolate Wave; a heavy seafood platter pairs better with something lighter, like Key Lime Pie.
Save Room for Dessert
Between Cheddar Bay Biscuits and a full entrée, it’s easy to fill up before dessert even arrives. Pace yourself if you know you want to try something sweet at the end.
Sharing Desserts
Portions here are generous. Two people ordering two different desserts to split is often a better move than each ordering their own — you get to try more flavors without over-ordering.
Seasonal or Limited-Time Desserts
Red Lobster occasionally rotates in limited-time desserts tied to holidays or promotions. Availability depends on location, so it’s worth asking your server or checking the official Red Lobster site before you visit if you’re hoping for something seasonal.
Kids and Family-Friendly Dessert Options
Smaller portions of Chocolate Wave, Classic Cheesecake, or Brownie Overboard work well for kids, and pairing a slice with a milkshake or soft drink rounds out a family meal — check the kids menu for matching entrée sizes. Whole desserts are also an easy way to give everyone at the table a taste without ordering five separate items.
Ordering Red Lobster Desserts
Dine-In Orders
Desserts are typically ordered after your entrée, once your server clears the table. If you’re unsure, servers can offer recommendations based on what’s available that day.
Takeout and Delivery
Every dessert on this list, including whole desserts, is available for takeout and delivery, not just dine-in.
Combining Desserts with Meals
Desserts pair naturally with Red Lobster’s lunch and dinner specials — after a seafood, chicken, or pasta entrée, dessert rounds out the meal rather than competing with it.

See our full gluten-free menu guide for what’s safe to order instead, and ask your server since shared prep areas also carry a cross-contact risk.

Does Red Lobster do a senior discount?
Red Lobster does not publish a standardized, nationwide senior discount. Instead, the chain runs the free My Red Lobster Rewards program, which gives new members 10% off a dine-in visit along with points on every purchase. Some individual, franchise-run locations may offer an informal discount to older guests, but this varies by location and isn’t guaranteed — it’s worth asking your server directly. See our full Red Lobster Senior Menu guide for the complete picture.

Prices stay consistent across individual items, portions are generous enough to split, and there’s something here whether you’re finishing a light lunch or a full seafood dinner.
