These 14 Chain Restaurants Serve Loaded Baked Potatoes
Few comfort foods beat a loaded baked potato fresh from the oven, piled high with cheese, bacon, sour cream, and more. Whether you’re craving a hearty side dish or a full meal on its own, chain restaurants across the country have got you covered.
From fast-food spots to upscale steakhouses, there’s a loaded spud waiting for you at more places than you might expect.
1. LongHorn Steakhouse
At LongHorn Steakhouse, the loaded baked potato is more than just a side dish — it’s a crowd favorite that keeps people coming back. Packed with applewood smoked bacon bits, aged yellow cheddar cheese, butter, sour cream, and chopped green onions, every bite hits the right notes.
Reviewers consistently praise the well-balanced potato-to-topping ratio. If you’re ordering a steak here, adding this loaded spud to your plate is practically a must.
2. Texas Roadhouse
Texas Roadhouse is famous for its hand-cut steaks, but its loaded baked potato deserves just as much attention. You can pile on sour cream, cheddar cheese, and bacon bits — or go bold by adding the chain’s signature Texas red chili on top.
Craving something sweeter? They also offer a loaded sweet potato drizzled with honey cinnamon caramel sauce and topped with toasted marshmallows.
Customization here is truly next-level for a casual dining spot.
3. Cheddar’s Scratch Kitchen
Cheddar’s Scratch Kitchen has built a loyal following by serving food made fresh from scratch, and its loaded baked potato fits right into that philosophy. Everything here feels homemade and satisfying rather than rushed or mass-produced.
The atmosphere is cozy and family-friendly, making it a great spot to enjoy a hearty potato alongside your entree. If you haven’t tried Cheddar’s yet, the loaded baked potato alone is a solid reason to visit soon.
4. Outback Steakhouse
Outback Steakhouse calls their version a “dressed” baked potato, and that name suits it perfectly. The skin is salted and slightly crispy, giving the whole thing a satisfying bite even before you get to the toppings.
Butter, bacon, chives, sour cream, and melted cheese come together beautifully — and many toppings are served on the side so you can build each bite your way. A few diners wish for extra cheese, but overall satisfaction runs high.
5. Ocean Prime
Ocean Prime brings a fine-dining twist to the classic loaded baked potato, and the result is genuinely impressive. The potato itself is large, and the toppings — ample butter, rich sour cream, and smoky bacon — are generous in a way that feels indulgent rather than ordinary.
Yelp reviewers have called it “phenomenal,” and it’s easy to see why. When a high-end restaurant commits to a comfort food classic, the upgrade is absolutely worth it.
6. Cracker Barrel Old Country Store
Cracker Barrel has always had a knack for making comfort food feel like a warm hug, and their loaded baked potato is no different. Shredded Colby cheese, bacon bits, whipped butter, sour cream, and chopped green onions make it a thoroughly satisfying dish.
Feeling adventurous? Their loaded sweet potato — topped with brown sugar cinnamon butter, butter pecan syrup, candied pecans, and toasted marshmallow — is a dessert-worthy twist that surprises first-timers in the best possible way.
7. Morton’s The Steakhouse
Morton’s The Steakhouse has been a go-to destination for serious steak lovers for decades, and every side dish here is treated with the same care as the main event. The loaded baked potato arrives as a worthy companion to their prime cuts, rich and satisfying from the first forkful.
It’s the kind of potato that makes you slow down and savor every bite. Pair it with one of Morton’s legendary steaks for a truly special night out.
8. Wendy’s
Wendy’s is one of the very few fast-food chains bold enough to put baked potatoes on the menu — and they’ve been doing it since the 1980s. You can choose from five options: plain, sour cream and chives, cheese, bacon and cheese, or the fan-favorite chili and cheese.
Each potato comes out hot and stuffed with toppings that actually deliver. For a quick, filling meal that doesn’t feel like typical fast food, Wendy’s baked potato is a genuinely solid pick.
9. Del Frisco’s Double Eagle Steakhouse
Del Frisco’s Double Eagle Steakhouse doesn’t do anything halfway, and their loaded baked potato is proof of that attitude. Described by fans as “over-the-top,” it’s crowned with bacon, sour cream, chives, and melted cheese in portions that feel genuinely luxurious.
The restaurant’s upscale atmosphere makes every dish feel like an occasion, and this potato is no exception. Whether it’s a business dinner or a celebration, Del Frisco’s makes sure the sides shine just as brightly as the steaks.
10. Ruth’s Chris Steak House
Ruth’s Chris Steak House serves a one-pound baked potato that means serious business. Fully loaded with butter, cheese, sour cream, bacon, and chives, it has earned consistent praise for its perfect fluffy texture and deeply rich flavor that holds up alongside their famous sizzling steaks.
When a single potato weighs a full pound, you know it’s not messing around. Reviewers regularly describe it as one of the best baked potatoes they’ve ever had at any restaurant.
11. Logan’s Roadhouse
Logan’s Roadhouse brings a laid-back roadhouse vibe to everything on its menu, and the loaded baked potato fits right in. It’s hearty, comforting, and exactly what you want after a long day — no fuss, just good food.
For true potato lovers, Logan’s also offers Made-From-Scratch Loaded Potato Skins packed with melted cheddar cheese, bacon bits, and green onions, served with sour cream. Ordering both at the same meal?
Absolutely no judgment here whatsoever.
12. BJ’s Restaurant and Brewhouse
BJ’s Restaurant and Brewhouse is known for its craft beers and deep-dish pizzas, but the loaded baked potato deserves a spotlight of its own. It comes out large and fluffy, blanketed in a melted mix of Monterey Jack and cheddar cheeses with smoky bacon pieces throughout.
Butter, sour cream, and green onions arrive on the side so you control the final build. Pair it with one of their handcrafted beers for a seriously satisfying combination.
13. Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse and Wine Bar
Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse and Wine Bar pairs world-class wines with exceptional food, and the loaded baked potato is a natural fit for that elevated experience. The potato is prepared with the same attention to quality that defines everything else on Fleming’s menu.
The atmosphere here is polished and inviting, making even a side dish feel special. If you’re planning a date night or a milestone celebration, Fleming’s loaded baked potato is the kind of comfort food that feels genuinely upscale.
14. McAlister’s Deli
McAlister’s Deli takes the loaded baked potato to a whole new level with their legendary “Giant Spuds” — and the name is no exaggeration. Some versions are actually two potatoes baked together into one enormous serving that could easily feed a very hungry person.
Topping combinations like the Spud Max — loaded with ham, turkey, bacon, cheddar-jack, green onions, black olives, and sour cream — make these feel more like a full meal than a side dish. McAlister’s is a baked potato lover’s dream come true.
