These homemade cheddar biscuits taste just like the ones you get from Red Lobster, maybe even better and they are so easy to make too!
One of Nate’s favorite places to go out to dinner for a special occasion is Red Lobster. When he got a new job, or for many of his birthday’s he picks Red Lobster. Until recently I haven’t been a fan of seafood, and I still prefer chicken most of the time, but Nate loves fresh lobster and crab, and all of that, so I’m happy to go to Red Lobster for dinner. Especially for their amazing biscuits. The warm and flaky cheddar bay biscuits that they bring out before your food is ready may actually be the best part about visiting Red Lobster.
Pin these cheddar bay biscuits for later!
These homemade cheddar biscuits taste just like the ones you get from Red Lobster, maybe even better and they are so easy to make too! And ready in about 20 minutes, so you can make them right before dinner or anytime you’re craving one.
They start with a base of Bisquick mix to make the process extra easy. You add in some butter, milk, garlic powder and cheddar cheese. Then scoop them out onto a pan, bake ’em up. And then coat them in a quick garlic butter sauce for the finishing touch.
These biscuits are perfectly light and flaky, cheesy and garlicky. Seriously they are so good. The hardest part is not gobbling them all up at once.
I hope you make these soon! I know I’m going to be making them again soon.

You too? Why do people insist on using processed biscuit mix? It’s full of preservatives and chemicals that aren’t good for you. When will all you learn? Making biscuits from scratch is so easy!
Aimee Berrett says
So sorry Newton, do you have a recipe for homemade biscuit mix? I’d love to keep that on hand for when I need it quick like I can do with bisquick.
Roslyn Cliffe says
What is Bisquix, please? Is there an equivalent in the UK, please? Went to a Red Lobster, in Peterborough, Ontario, on my first of many visits to Canada and loved the little biscuits!! Thank you for your help.
