Biscuits & Extras Menu With Prices and Pictures
The Biscuits and Extras menu is Red Lobster’s add-on section. Instead of ordering a full second entree, guests can add a seafood side, a pasta side, a soup, or extra biscuits to round out a meal already on the table.
These extras also pair well with picks from our Signature Feasts menu or our Pasta and Bowls guide.

Cheddar Bay Biscuits Nutrition: Calories Per Biscuit
Biscuit calories are the most searched nutrition question on this menu. Each Cheddar Bay Biscuit served at the restaurant carries about 150 to 160 calories. A half dozen basket runs 970 calories, and a full dozen runs 1,940 calories. These figures come from the restaurant menu, not the grocery box.
Watching calories? Stick to the biscuits that come with your entree instead of ordering an extra basket. Pair them with Garlic Shrimp Scampi at 220 calories or Steamed Broccoli at about 50 calories. The free biscuits with most dine in entrees are already part of the meal, so an extra basket is where the calories add up fast.
See our Red Lobster nutrition guide for calorie figures across the full menu.
