The Return of Cold Weather Favorites: Chowder and Lobster Stew Season

15/10/2025

As the cool breeze rolls in and the days get shorter, one thing becomes clear: it’s time for warm, comforting bowls of chowder and stew. At one of your favorite restaurants like Makris Lobster & Steakhouse, fall means the focus on three cold-weather favorites—Seafood Chowder, New England Clam Chowder, and our signature Makris Family Lobster Stew. These aren’t just dishes, they’re traditions. And they’re on the menu, just in time for sweater season.

A Creamy Classic: New England Clam Chowder

If you’re craving something hearty and timeless, New England Clam Chowder is where to start. Ours is rich, thick, and loaded with tender clams, potatoes, and just the right amount of seasoning. Each spoonful delivers that classic creamy texture and coastal flavor that’s made this chowder a favorite for generations.

It’s perfect for a chilly afternoon, whether you’re stopping by for lunch or warming up before dinner.

For those who want a little bit of everything, our Seafood Chowder is a must. This chowder is packed with a rotating selection of fresh seafood. Think fish, clams, shrimp, and scallops, all simmered in a creamy, savory broth. It’s bold, comforting, and deeply satisfying.

At restaurants like ours, seafood chowder isn’t just a seasonal item. It’s an invitation to slow down and enjoy something made with care.

The Star of the Season: Makris Family Lobster Stew

Nothing says fall comfort quite like our Makris Family Lobster Stew. Based on a beloved family recipe, this stew is rich, buttery, and full of generous chunks of fresh lobster meat. It’s made the traditional way, with no shortcuts. Just cream, butter, and a whole lot of flavor. Served hot and satisfying, it’s the kind of dish that brings people back year after year.
