Growing old is mandatory, but outgrowing mac and cheese is optional and highly discouraged. While steakhouses don't serve microwaveable Kraft, they do have a few options to help fill that void.

Finka Table & Tap

To give mac and cheese better a Cuban twist, add carne asada, i.e. skirt steak. That's exactly what Finka did, as well as bacon, scallions, and three different cheeses.

Red the Steakhouse

Copy Link
Everyone knows that even after a 22 oz. ribeye steak, there's still room for mac and cheese, especially if it's baked with truffles. Red's truffled mac doesn't pale in comparison to all its fine dining counterparts.

Doce Provisions

Copy Link
This is as Japanese as mac and cheese could get without being inside a sushi roll. The cheddar cheese is dashi'd, meaning it's been fortified in dashi, the stock in miso soup, and sprinkled with togarashi, a Japanese spice.

ROK:BRGR

Copy Link
RokBrgr may be synonymous with free bottomless mimosa brunches, but its gruyere fontina mac and cheese is equally beloved. Choose between lobster, shrimp, short rib, and bacon for added protein.

Bocas House

Boca's is now known nation-wide for its milkshakes. For those who lack a sweet tooth the savory options are equally beautiful. Try the yellow pepper mac and cheese sprinkled with bacon powder — but make sure to take a picture first.

The Brick Restaurant

Mac and cheese doesn't feel like such a decadent indulgence when some vegetables are thrown in the mix. Such is the case for The Brick's version of the dish, which includes heaping amount of cauliflower for a slightly healthy feel.
