Costco is turning up the indulgence this season with its latest deli release: Kirkland Signature Lobster Mac & Cheese, a creamy, cheesy, and seafood-packed side dish that’s already generating buzz among shoppers. Priced at $6.99 per pound, the new offering is part of Costco’s expanding grab-and-go lineup and is being positioned as a holiday-ready comfort food that’s both luxurious and convenient.
What’s Inside
The dish features:
- Cold water lobster meat, known for its firm texture and sweet flavor
- Cavatappi pasta, a spiral-shaped noodle that holds sauce beautifully
- Shredded cheddar cheese, melted into a rich, velvety base
The lobster adds a tender chew and briny depth, while the pasta’s ridges soak up the creamy sauce for a satisfying bite. According to early reviews, the flavor is balanced—not overly fishy—and the portion sizes are generous enough to feed a crowd or serve as a main dish for two.
Where to Find It
The Lobster Mac & Cheese is currently available in Costco deli sections, though it may not yet appear on the website or app. Shoppers have spotted it in stores as of mid-November 2025, and social media accounts like @costcohotfinds have already shared rave reviews and taste tests.
Whether you’re hosting Thanksgiving, planning a cozy winter dinner, or just craving something indulgent, this new side dish fits the bill. It’s easy to reheat, pairs well with roasted meats or seafood, and offers a gourmet twist on a classic comfort food.
Food writers have noted that the cold water lobster used in the dish is a step up from typical frozen blends, offering a more refined flavor and texture. Combined with the creamy cheddar base, it’s a dish that feels festive without requiring any prep.
Shopper Reactions
Early feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. Fans are calling it “restaurant-quality,” “surprisingly affordable,” and “a must-have for holiday spreads.” Some have even suggested freezing portions for later use, given its rich flavor and versatility.
