[[{“value”:”If I need a comfort-food dinner, meatloaf is always near the top of the list. Most people order mashed potatoes with this minced-meat classic, but a loaded baked potato also pairs perfectly. What I like about the latter is that it’s basically a choose-your-own-adventure experience with a spud, since you can make it as light or as heavy as you want. Where can you get a great meatloaf and baked potato dinner? Here are 5 restaurant chains with the best meatloaf and loaded baked potato, according to diners.
Cracker Barrel
Cracker Barrel’s “The Best Classic Meatloaf” is one of the most-ordered meals at the country-inspired restaurant. “Second only to mom’s. Made with a hearty blend of beef, onions, bell peppers, and tomatoes,” the menu states. “I have never had a bad meal at Cracker Barrel at any location. Some of my recommendations are most of the breakfast foods and of course the meatloaf. I can never get enough of that!” a Yelper says. The loaded baked potato is another favorite, topped with bacon crumbles, cheese, butter, sour cream, and green onions.
Black Bear Diner
Black Bear Diner’s meatloaf is wildly popular with diners. “The homemade meatloaf is a mix of ground beef, seasoned sausage, carrot slivers, and diced onions. Really great. Firm and a 1/2 inch thick. Now they claim it’s roasted. I found it fried on both sides also. Crispy outside yet perfect inside,” a diner explains. While it comes with mashed potatoes, you can swap it for a loaded baked. “Excellent baked potato,” a TripAdvisor diner said. “It was one of the best baked potatoes I’ve had in a long time – big, creamy and tender.”
Cheddar’s Scratch Kitchen
The Homestyle Meatloaf at Cheddar’s is from-scratch deliciousness. It comes with two slices of classic meatloaf, a “heavy pour” of savory brown gravy, and two sides. “Very tasty,” writes a Facebooker. The loaded baked potato is diner-approved and comes topped with thick shreds of cheese, butter, bacon crumbles, and sour cream.
