What Makes the Garlic Lover’s Filet Different
A filet usually comes from the tenderloin, a muscle that does very little work. That is why the cut feels soft and lean. The roasted garlic herb butter melts over the hot steak and adds a rich, savory layer.
The classic filet mignon uses Red Lobster’s signature seasoning instead. Choose it if you like a simple beef flavor. Pick the garlic version when you want more aroma and richness.
The Garlic Lover’s 7 oz. Sirloin costs $9.00 less than the filet at the first location. However, sirloin is a firmer cut with a beefier chew. The filet wins on tenderness, while the sirloin wins on price and size. You can compare more steaks and seafood on our dinner menu.
Steak Temperature Options
Red Lobster cooks this filet to order. You can choose from five steak temperatures when you order online.
| Temperature | Center Color |
|---|---|
| Rare | Cool red |
| Medium Rare | Warm red |
| Medium | Warm pink |
| Medium Well | Slight pink |
| Well | No pink |
Because the filet is lean, medium rare or medium keeps it juicy. The USDA lists 145°F with a three-minute rest as the safe minimum for whole cuts of beef. Red Lobster also warns that undercooked meat can raise the risk of foodborne illness. Plan your order with that in mind.
Best Sides for the Garlic Lover’s Filet
Every order includes your choice of two sides. Some sides cost extra, as shown below. Side prices come from the first location. Our soups and sides menu shows more options.
| Side | Calories | Extra Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Roasted Asparagus | 90 | $2.99 |
| Coleslaw | 110 | None |
| Seasoned Broccoli | 190 | None |
| Mashed Potatoes | 210 | None |
| Baked Potato | 270 | None |

| Bacon Mac & Cheese | 600 | $3.49 |
| Lobster Pasta au Gratin | 670 | $7.99 |
| Loaded Mashed Potatoes | Not listed | $1.99 |
Roasted Asparagus keeps the plate light. Mashed Potatoes soak up the garlic butter well. Coleslaw adds a cool crunch.
For example, a light plate with asparagus and coleslaw totals about 540 calories. In contrast, Bacon Mac & Cheese and Chesapeake Fries push the total to about 1,450. These totals are estimates based on the listed numbers.
