You know what I dream about? Biscuits. Delicious cheesy garlicky biscuits. Cheddar Bay Biscuits from Red Lobster to be exact.
These copycat Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuits are so easy to make you will make them for dinner every night if given the chance! They are cheesy, garlicky, and super soft.
Man alive Red Lobster got it right when they made Cheddar Bay Biscuits. Something about the spices, the cheese, and all of the herbs thrown in was one heck of a glorious combination.
There was a time when I would go to Red Lobster just to get some biscuits. True story. Ok, and maybe the Lobster Crab Alfredo.
Make sure you PIN Cheddar Biscuits!
That all changed when I made this recipe. Delicious Copycat Cheddar Bay Red Lobster Biscuits are so easy to make you will be making them for dinner more often than you would think. I won’t lie, I’ve totally made them several nights in a row.
They are also the same as Ruby Tuesday cheddar biscuits. Did you know that? I guess you can’t go wrong with a good thing.
Realistically, Hubby and I only make it to Red Lobster once a year. He loves the all-you-can-eat-shrimp fest, but the only things I crave are Ceasar salad and Cheddar Bay Biscuits. Oh, buttery, warm, delicious biscuits.
I always ask for a second basket and then squirrel them away to take home. It sounds crazy, but they are perfect for breakfast sandwiches.
They taste pretty amazing with a fried egg, slice of honey ham and a little more cheese. And don’t even get me started with pairing them with fried chicken – WOWZERS!
So why can’t I make these at home? I can! I can!
This recipe is similar to my herb and cheese biscuits. All I needed to do was just swap out some of the ingredients. I made them but I wanted to be sure I was close to the real thing.
So I went to the store and bought the official Red Lobster sanctioned Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix at the store. The official taste test was not just me, but hubby and some friends.
The results? I and our friends, like this recipe better! And I am really and truly not just saying that.
The best part is, I can make them whatever size I want. A little smaller, a little bigger, whatever I need them to be.
Sometimes I want giant, other times I want bite-sized. And sometimes I even add a little extra cheese because who doesn’t like more cheese? No one!
Serve these warm alongside your favorite protein, as a side to your favorite soup, or follow in my footsteps and serve them alongside a caesar salad. Any way you do it, you can’t go wrong.

Copycat Cheddar Bay Red Lobster Biscuits
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups Bisquick or other baking mix
- 1 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder divided
- 1 1/4 cups cheddar cheese shredded
- 3/4 cups milk
- 6 tablespoons butter divided
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- Cooking Spray
Instructions
- Heat oven to 400 degrees and prepare a baking sheet with cooking spray.
- Combine Bisquick, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, salt and shredded cheddar cheese in a medium mixing bowl. Stir dry ingredients well.
- Add 4 tablespoons of butter, cold and diced into cubes, and skim milk to dry mixture. Using a biscuit cutter or a large fork, mash all ingredients together to form a sticky dough. To fully combine the cold butter the mashing (not stirring) is necessary.
- Spoon biscuit dough onto cookie sheet making either 8 large or 16 small biscuits.
- For large biscuits, bake for 12 minutes at 400 and then reduce temperature to 300 and bake for an additional 4 minutes or until tops are lightly browned. For small biscuits cook for 12 minutes at 400 or until tops are lightly browned.
- Melt 2 tablespoons butter with 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder and dash of salt. Baste over the tops of biscuits right after you take them out of the oven. Sprinkle the tops with dried parsley.
I don’t have bisquick how do I use regular all-purpose white flour in the cheddar biscuit recipe. I was so disappointed when I got to the recipe.
Hi Cynthia, I need to test it out, but I found this copycat version online that seems pretty on point with what I know is in the box. I can test it this week and put up an exact amount for the 2.5 cups.
6 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons baking powder
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons table salt
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
Can I make them a day ahead and warm in the oven the next day?
You sure can, Chrissy!
I just made these. We didn’t have the cheddar but they were still so yummy! Much better than the bland alternative.
Yay! Thank you for taking the time to stop back and let us know.
I’m totally making these to go with dinner tonight!
Did you enjoy them? They are one of our favorites!
