FAQs
Are Red Lobster Hush Puppies similar to Cheddar Bay Biscuits?
No, they are very different. Hush Puppies are deep-fried, savory, and slightly sweet cornmeal balls. Cheddar Bay Biscuits are oven-baked, soft, fluffy, and flavored with cheddar and garlic.
Are Red Lobster Hush Puppies sweet or savory?
They’re a mix of both, but mostly savory. The cornmeal batter has a little sugar (about 14g per serving), which gives them a slight sweetness that goes well with the salty, fried flavor and seafood.
Can I order Hush Puppies as a substitute for another side?
Yes, you can usually choose Hush Puppies as one of your sides with an entrée or as a substitute for a small extra charge.
Are the Hush Puppies gluten-free?
No, they’re not gluten-free. The batter contains wheat flour, which has gluten.
What kind of dipping sauce is served with the Hush Puppies?
Hush Puppies are usually served without a specific dipping sauce, but they go well with things like tartar sauce, cocktail sauce, or honey butter if you ask for it.
