Red Lobster Surf and Turf — Maine Lobster Tail 12oz NY Strip Price & Calories 2026
Price: $43.98 | 1120 Calories
Red Lobster Surf & Turf Maine Lobster Tail 12oz NY Strip
The Red Lobster Surf and Turf with Maine Lobster Tail and 12oz NY Strip occupies a specific position in the Red Lobster lineup — same price as the 6oz Filet Mignon version, but 440 more calories, 47 more grams of protein, and a steak that weighs twice as much. Whether this is the better order depends entirely on what a guest values in a steak: tenderness or size.
Why This Is the Best Choice for Big Appetites
The 12oz NY Strip offers significantly more steak than the other Surf and Turf options, making this feast the most filling choice for diners who want a hearty, satisfying meal. The NY Strip’s bold, beefy flavor and slightly firmer texture compared to filet mignon provides a different steak experience for diners who prefer a more robust cut.
This feast is particularly popular among diners who consider the steak portion as important as the lobster, since the larger NY Strip ensures neither component feels like an afterthought.
What 12 Ounces Actually Means on the Plate
The 12oz NY strip is the largest steak available across all Red Lobster Signature Feasts.
For context — the 6oz Filet Mignon that comes with the other $43.98 Surf and Turf option weighs exactly half as much. The 7oz Sirloin in the $35.99 version weighs 5oz less. A 12oz strip is a proper steakhouse portion — substantial enough that many guests cannot finish both the steak and the lobster tail in one sitting.
That is precisely why this option generates the search volume it does. Guests who prioritize the steak half of a surf and turf over the seafood half consistently end up here.

At 114g of protein and 0g of carbohydrates, this is the highest-protein item on the entire Red Lobster Signature Feasts Menu.
The 1,120 calories are driven primarily by the fat content in the 12oz NY strip rather than by carbohydrates — the dish has zero carbohydrates, making it a viable option for guests following a strict low-carbohydrate or keto approach who also want a substantial steak.
Price — What the $43.98 Covers
The $43.98 price covers a whole Maine lobster tail with drawn butter and fresh lemon, a 12oz New York strip steak cooked to preferred temperature, and a choice of two sides from the Red Lobster sides menu.
Warm Cheddar Bay Biscuits are included with every Signature Feast at all dine-in Red Lobster locations.
Steak Temperature Options
The 12oz NY strip is cooked to the guest’s preferred temperature.
Available options are rare, medium rare, medium, medium well, and well done.
For NY strip specifically, medium to medium well is the most commonly ordered temperature range — the marbling in the cut needs some heat to render properly, which enhances the flavor profile compared to rare preparations that are more appropriate for leaner cuts.
What Sides Work Best with the 12oz NY Strip
Every feast includes a choice of two sides.
For a 1,120 calorie feast that is already high in protein and fat, lighter sides significantly reduce the overall meal calorie count. Steamed broccoli at approximately 90 calories and garden salad at 45 calories are the most calorie-efficient pairings.
Chesapeake fries and mashed potatoes are the most commonly ordered pairings overall — popular choices but they add 300 to 490 calories each to the meal total.
