Red Lobster is now serving lobster and waffles

Show Caption Hide Caption Lobster and Cheddar Bay Biscuit Waffles are now a thing Red Lobster is putting a spin on the classic chicken and waffles dish by adding lobster and waffles to their menu.

Chicken and waffles are amazing. But would you substitute fried chicken for lobster?

Red Lobster sure hopes so, introducing a lobster and waffles dish available at their restaurants starting Monday as part of their Lobsterfest menu.

The dish features a buttermilk-battered and fried split Maine lobster tail served on top of a waffle made with the same mix used in the chain's famous Cheddar Bay biscuits. All of this is then topped with maple syrup.

The average price for the dish is $19.99, but may vary depending on market.

So far, the reactions to the pairing of sea food with comfort food have been mixed:

Red Lobster: fried lobster tails and waffles? No. Just no. You are tampering with a Southern Comfort Food. — Will Miskiewicz (@MiskiewiczWill) March 24, 2018
