Alright, alright. Who doesn’t LOVE Red Lobster biscuits? How can you not?? The “Cheddar Bay” biscuits, they call them. I’ve only been to Red Lobster a handful of times in my life, but I can always remember devouring the little cheesy heaven-biscuits that come complimentary with every meal.

They made quite an impression on me! Kinda like the bread they serve at Carrabba’s with the Herb Dipping Mixture. So I knew this would have to be on the list of recipes I experiment with and perfect.
I tried out a few recipes that I found online and I liked this one that I found on ABCnews.com the best, but I just upped the quantities a little bit. Delicious. I mean, they are incredible. They are the real deal – I tested them against the real thing at Red Lobster and I was hard-pressed to choose a favorite (mine).
But don’t make these if you like biscuits actually, because you’ll be eating them non-stop.
I gave the leftovers to a friend of mine because I have no will-power whatsoever, and he and his date actually ended up eating them all that night.
Red Lobster Biscuit Recipe Video
- FOR THE BISCUITS
- 2 ½ cups Bisquick baking mix
- ¾ cup cold milk
- 4 tablespoons cold butter (1/2 stick)
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 heaping cup grated cheddar cheese
- TO BRUSH ON TOP
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- ¼ teaspoon dried parsley flakes
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- pinch of salt
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- In a large bowl, add the bisquick and cold butter. Smash the butter into the bisquick with a fork or pastry cutter until it is the size of green peas. Add the garlic powder, cheddar cheese and milk. Mix with your hands just until it comes together — but don’t overmix!
- Drop heaping teaspoonfuls of the dough onto an aluminum foil covered sheet pan. The rougher they look, the more authentic!
- Bake for 15 to 17 minutes — until the tops are golden brown. Just before you take them out, prepare the top butter coat by melting 2 tablespoons of butter in a small bowl. Add the garlic powder and parsley flakes. Mix thoroughly.
- Using a kitchen brush, brush the tops with the butter mixture when they’ve just come out.

You know, I organized a linky party over this past summer where about a dozen or so of us improved on chain restaurant dishes. I believe one of the dishes profiled was the Red Lobster biscuit. If I organized another, would you be interested in participating?
