Red Lobster restaurant 2026 closing list near me: When Red Lobster first opened on North Monroe Street in Tallahassee back in October 1970, a plate of baked oysters cost $1.85 and a steak-and-lobster combo ran just $3.55. It promised "family-priced seafood" in a room that felt like home. Fifty-six years later, that promise is ending. The Red Lobster restaurant on North Monroe Street — the chain's oldest continuously operating location in the United States — will serve its final Cheddar Bay Biscuit on Sunday, May 24, 2026.
For diners in Tallahassee and seafood lovers watching the Red Lobster 2026 closing list grow, this one stings differently. This isn't just a restaurant closing. It's the last chapter of a living institution.
