Red Lobster announced that its only Huntsville location will be closing on September 6. It served its signature seafood menu, including classics like snow crab legs + Maine lobster, for over 50 years — the restaurant originally opened in 1975, but closed briefly in 2024.

Worth noting: after this location closes, there will only be six Red Lobsters still operating in Alabama.
