[[{“value”:”Meatloaf and mashed potatoes might just be the definition of comfort food as the weather cools off. It’s the kind of traditional meal that feels made-from-scratch, tender and full of flavor. When you’re in the mood for a substantial meal without having to make it yourself, diners say these five chains have an especially delicious version of the classic combination.
Perkins
Perkins has homestyle meatloaf on the menu, topped with a savory, sweet glaze, and easily paired with mashed potatoes. “The meatloaf dinner was superb! Wonderful seasonings. The gentleman there told me the recipe was changed, and definitely for the better,” a reviewer said on Tripadvisor.
Cheesecake Factory
Cheesecake Factory has their Famous Factory Meatloaf with garlic mashed potatoes, a rich, flavorful mushroom gravy, sweet grilled onions, and buttered corn. “I’ve never been much of a fan of meatloaf, but I tried this and it was so good.

Metro Diner
Metro Diner New York offers their Mom’s Meatloaf with delicious mashed potatoes you can load up with toppings. “I ordered from Metro Diner tonight. I have the Meat Loaf and mashed potatoes. Also the coleslaw. It is delicious,” a reviewer said. “Their gravy has the right consistency and just enough seasoning to complement the meal. Also their coleslaw is something you don’t want to miss.”
Black Bear Diner
The thick, tasty meatloaf offered at Black Bear Diner is a popular choice, especially when paired with brown gravy and mashed potatoes. “I ordered the cold meatloaf sandwich and a bowl of Chicken Dumpling soup.
