What Is on the Red Lobster Bowls & Sandwiches Menu

The Red Lobster Bowls & Sandwiches Menu offers balanced meals that combine premium proteins, fresh vegetables, seasoned rice, and signature sauces into one dish. Unlike a traditional seafood feast, this category is built for guests who want a lighter, faster meal without giving up flavor.

Whether you prefer grilled salmon, crispy fried seafood, or a classic burger, this menu section covers nearly every taste and budget. Red Lobster designed it for guests who want a quicker option than a full seafood platter, which makes it popular for both lunch and dinner. I have ordered through most of this menu myself over several visits. The notes below reflect what actually showed up on the table, not just what is listed online.

Most Popular Bowls & Sandwiches: Full Reviews

Shrimp shows up across several dishes in this category. If shrimp is what you are after, our shrimp meals menu covers every shrimp dish Red Lobster serves, including the ones reviewed below.

Southwest Shrimp Bowl

Price: $16.49  |  Calories: 700

The Southwest Shrimp Bowl is one of the healthiest and most balanced meals at Red Lobster. It combines wood grilled shrimp with jalapeno ranch orzo rice, fresh pico de gallo, spring mix, sour cream, and tortilla strips. On my last order, the shrimp came out well seasoned and not overcooked, which is a common miss with grilled seafood elsewhere.

Why it’s popular:

• Lean seafood protein
• Fresh vegetables
• Moderate calorie count
• Great lunch option
• Rich Southwest flavor

It is a solid pick for diners who want a satisfying meal without the heaviness of fried seafood.

Sesame-Soy Salmon Bowl

Price: $18.99  |  Calories: 1,120

This is one of the premium bowls on the menu. Grilled, wild-caught Atlantic salmon sits over orzo rice with crispy Brussels sprouts, spring mix, and crispy onions, finished with a sweet, savory sesame soy glaze. The caramelized glaze sets it apart and makes it noticeably richer than a plain grilled salmon plate.

Highlights:

• Rich in omega-3 fatty acids
• Premium Atlantic salmon
• Asian inspired flavor profile
• High protein content
• Filling dinner option

Shrimp & Sausage Jambalaya

Price: $18.99  |  Calories: 1,020

Inspired by classic Southern cooking, this bowl combines shrimp, Cajun sausage, bell peppers, onions, and celery over orzo rice in a zesty tomato-based sauce. Guests who enjoy spicy comfort food often call it one of the best value items on the menu because of the portion size and flavor.

Crunch-Fried Flounder Sandwich

Price: $12.99  |  Calories: 1,690

Flaky white fish comes wrapped in crispy golden breading, served on a sesame bun with signature sauce and coleslaw. Chesapeake fries and hush puppies round out the plate. The breading holds its crunch well even after a short wait, which is not always true of fried seafood sandwiches elsewhere.

Bacon Cheeseburger

Price: $19.99  |  1,430 cal

Red Lobster is known for seafood, but the Bacon Cheeseburger wins over guests who want a traditional American meal. A beef patty comes topped with smoked bacon, melted cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, and signature sauces on a toasted bun. It is the highest calorie item on this menu and also one of the most filling.
