[[{“value”:”Baked potatoes make an ideal side for everything from a juicy steak to fried fish, so it’s no wonder many restaurants have both regular and sweet baked potatoes on the menu. Some are clearly meant to be enjoyed as a side, others are so loaded with toppings like cheese and proteins they can easily work as a main dish. When prepped with care, the outside should be perfectly crispy and the insides fluffy and steaming hot. So where do diners rave about this humble vegetable? Here are five chains with the best baked potatoes, according to fans.
McAlister’s Deli
Diners at McAlister’s Deli love the Giant Spuds, which fully live up to their name. “Bro I looooooove McAlister’s baked potatoes,” one Redditor said. “There’s one I can’t remember the name of that has a bunch of veggies in it and it’s my favorite. They’re big enough that I often can’t finish it in one sitting.” (I’m pretty sure they’re referring to the Veggie Spud here.)
Texas Roadhouse
The baked potatoes at Texas Roadhouse are the stuff of legend for good reason—these giant potatoes come regular or loaded, and diners are obsessed. “The Texas Roadhouse on 71st and Garnett hooked me up,” one guest shared. “They cut me a 1 1/4″ ribeye and cooked at medium charred. Plus I got french fries and a loaded baked potato as my sides. Was that a fat boy move? Oh yeah! But in my defense I couldn’t eat either of my sides!”

Wendy’s
Wendy’s loaded baked potatoes are one of the best things on the menu at the fast food chain, diners say. “The GOAT…Wendy’s Baked Potato,” one Redditor said, sharing a picture of their meal. “Where else can you get a baked potato on the fly??… They have fallen hard but one thing that’s never messed up is when I order one of their baked potatoes. Soft and fluffy on the inside.”
