Red Lobster’s Cheddar Bay Biscuits are nothing short of legendary. Created to keep hungry diners happy before their main course, these cheesy biscuits quickly became a hallmark of the Red Lobster dining experience. Now, with this recipe, you can recreate them at home. And if you offer one up to anyone who’s ever dined at Red Lobster, you’ll see an instant spark of recognition—that blend of cheese, garlic, and herbs wrapped up in a tender buttermilk biscuit is pure nostalgia. Here’s a fun (and, yes, slightly disappointing!) tidbit: There’s no actual locale named “Cheddar Bay.” It’s a clever marketing move by Red Lobster, lending their biscuits a hint of coastal charm. Until 1993, they went by the simpler name, “Cheese Garlic Bread.”
