FAQs
❓ Is the Family Orzo Rice a separate side, or only with a Family Meal?
Answer: It is usually a big side dish that comes with Red Lobster’s Family Meal Deals for four people. Some locations may also let you order it alone as a large side.
❓ What is orzo? Is it the same as rice?
Answer: Orzo looks like rice, but it is actually small pasta made from wheat, so it has gluten. This dish mixes orzo pasta with real rice for a different taste and texture.
❓ Do I need to cook the Family Orzo Rice at home?
Answer: No. It is cooked fresh at the restaurant. It comes hot and ready to eat when you take it home.
❓ Is the Orzo Rice vegetarian or vegan?
Answer: It is usually vegetarian because there is no meat or seafood. But it is not vegan since it may include butter or other dairy. Ask the restaurant if you follow a strict vegan diet.
❓ Can the Family Orzo Rice be made with less butter or oil?
Answer: Family sides are often made in large batches using the standard recipe, so changes are not always possible. You can call your local Red Lobster and ask if they can make small changes like less fat or less salt.
