[[{“value”:”Great pork chops are hard to find. What makes a chop perfect? It has to be tasty and juicy, not dry and bland, which is unfortunately what the majority of them taste like if not prepared correctly.

Here are 5 restaurant chains with the best pork chops and baked potato, according to diners.
Texas Roadhouse
Texas Roadhouse pork chops never disappoint: They are well-seasoned, reliably juicy, generously portioned, and consistentdelicious. They are grilled, which keeps the flavor focused on the meat itself.

The loaded baked potato is also a hit. “Tried the baked potato at Longhorn Steakhouse. They gave me the bacon sour cream, and cheese on the side. You can see no lack of salt,” a Facebooker said.
