We all make mistakes, chain restaurants included. For instance, Red Lobster’s famous Endless Shrimp promotion cost the brand a cool $11 million in operating losses after being made a permanent menu item in 2023. That deal has, of course, since been discontinued. But that doesn’t mean you can’t get a bargain on killer seafood anymore. Case in point: Red Lobster’s Ultimate SpendLESS Shrimp, which allows guests to taste three spins on the popular shellfish for just $16 (in most locations).
