Red Lobster Mozzarella Sticks Platter Crispy Cheesy Appetizer for Sharing 2026

The Mozzarella Sticks Platter is priced at $23.99  and contains approximately ~2,160 calories, making it a rich and indulgent option that’s perfect for sharing with friends or family.

At $23.99, this is the cheapest platter on the entire Hot Platters menu almost $10 less than the next cheapest option (Mozzarella aside, the Popcorn Shrimp at $33.99), and the only platter here with zero seafood content whatsoever.

The appeal is straightforward: breaded mozzarella sticks, fried, served with marinara a familiar comfort food that doesn’t require any seafood buy in from the table and works as well at a kids’ gathering as it does paired with beer at a casual adult get together. There’s nothing seafood themed about it; it could be ordered at almost any casual dining restaurant.

For budget conscious group orders, this is the platter that stretches furthest per dollar, though it’s also the least distinctively Red Lobster item on this entire menu. Pairing it with one of the shrimp platters splitting an order between Mozzarella Sticks and Crunchy Popcorn Shrimp, say covers both a seafood and non-seafood base without spending what the Crab Queso Platter alone would cost.
