Ruth’s Chris Lobster Mac and Cheese

Ruth’s Chris Lobster Mac and Cheese is the definition of luxurious comfort — a velvety, three-cheese sauce wrapped around tender pasta and generous chunks of sweet lobster. Rich, creamy, and indulgently smooth, this dish brings that signature steakhouse elegance right to your own kitchen. With Gruyère for depth, cheddar for sharpness, and Parmesan for nutty richness, every bite delivers layered, decadent flavor.

The lobster elevates this mac and cheese from cozy classic to gourmet centerpiece. Folded gently into the hot, silky cheese sauce, it adds sweetness and delicate texture that pair beautifully with warm spices and the hint of Old Bay. Whether served as a showstopping side or a full, luxurious main course, this recipe brings restaurant-worthy flair with simple, approachable steps.

For an extra flourish, broil the top until bubbly and golden, or add a splash of sherry to the sauce for a depth that tastes truly high-end. Creamy, cheesy, and irresistibly rich, this lobster mac is comfort food at its finest.
