This is a delicious mix of mac and cheese with lobster all in one comforting dish. It’s perfect for those who love seafood flavors combined with creamy textures. If you’re one of those people, I think you should definitely try this Lobster Mac and Cheese Ruth’s Chris style.

I didn’t make it the classic way they serve at Lobster Mac and Cheese Ruth’s Chris, where they usually bake the lobster on top. Instead, I love adding my own twist to every copycat recipe I make. I mix the lobster with the creamy mac and cheese and bake it, although sometimes I skip the baking and just mix everything together. It still tastes delicious either way.

The Lobster Mac and Cheese Ruth’s Chris is incredibly creamy with each bite, filled with cheesy macaroni and delicious lobster. I enjoy every mouthful. I’m a fan of Ruth’s Chris dishes, and this isn’t the first time I’ve created a copycat recipe inspired by their meals. Previously, I recreated their Chilean Sea Bass dish too.
