While Red Lobster did file for bankruptcy in May, the brand’s new leadership has come up with a plan to get you back. 

No, it’s not Endless Shrimp, but you still might like it.

There’s a new Happy Hour menu available at participating restaurants Monday through Friday from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. It’s important to note that nothing is endless or bottomless, so don’t get too excited.

2. What Can I Get?
