It is so easy to re-create this beloved side dish from Red Lobster. I love how warm and savory and cheesy they are. And to be honest- I think Cheddar Bay Biscuits are what the restaurant is known for! I defintiely want to make sure I get filled up with them anytime I go out to eat. But I am loving our copycat recipe, too.

It really is so easy to make this delicious side treat. It doesn’t take a lot of prep time and you’ll need common household ingredients that you most likely already have on hand!

Why are Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuits so good?

Cheddar Bay Biscuits are a cheesy, buttery biscuit that they serve at Red Lobster. They are so popular because they are usually served piping hot and dripping in delicious cheese, butter and garlic. Which makes them taste even better and why so many people keep going back for more.

Why are they called Cheddar Bay Biscuits?

Good question! I did a little digging and found out that during the initial early ’90s run, they were called “freshly baked, hot cheese garlic bread”, which is a bit of a mouthful if you ask me!

A couple years later, they replaced that awful name with Cheddar Bay Biscuits, in a nod to the fictional sea of cheese.

Can you use different cheese for Cheddar Bay Biscuits?

While the name itself includes Cheddar you could always switch it up and use your favorite cheese or whatever cheese you have on hand.

For a spicier flavor- pepper jack would be delicious but you could also use marbled cheddar, mozzarella or any other variation of cheddar cheese that you prefer.
