Red Lobster
National seafood chain founded in Florida in 1968 to bring seafood to inland towns that had never had it.
The St. George restaurant on Red Cliffs Drive serves the same format the chain was built on: lobster, crab and shrimp, with the Cheddar Bay Biscuits it is best known for. Inland southern Utah is precisely the sort of market the original concept was designed for.
Worth knowing
Bill Darden's original insight in 1968 was that most Americans lived nowhere near a coast and had no way to eat seafood casually — the chain existed to solve a distribution problem as much as a culinary one, and inland southern Utah is precisely the market it was designed for. The company Darden built went on to become one of the largest restaurant groups in the world. The St. George restaurant sits on the Red Cliffs retail corridor on the north-east side.
