[[{“value”:”If you are a minimalist who appreciates the finer things, filet mignon and a baked potato are the perfect steakhouse diner. The leanest, most tender cut of steak, paired with a DIY potato you can dress up or down to your liking, will satisfy even the pickiest eaters. Where can you get the perfect pairing? Here are 5 steakhouse chains with the best filet mignon and baked potato, according to diners.
Texas Roadhouse
In a Reddit feed detailing Texas Roadhouse must-tries, a diner singled out the Filet Medallions as one of the best values on the menu. An order comes with three 3-ounce filet medallions, “which is a total of 9 oz of Filet that costs $1 less than the 8oz Filet,” they write. The Medallions are served on a bed of rice and come with your choice of two sides. “You can also pay a small upcharge to add 1x more 3oz medallion which price varies but is a great way to ensure leftovers or a very hearty meal for a great bang for the buck and is very easily slept on menu item,” the diner added. The salt-crusted spud is one of the most highly hyped sides. “Their baked potatoes are fantastic,” a Yelper in Orlando says. Another diner calls it “phenomenal!”
LongHorn Steakhouse
Flo’s Filet, a 6- or 9-ounce serving of filet mignon, is my go-to order. Again, this isn’t the best filet I’ve ever had, but it’s honestly better than many far more expensive steaks. The smaller size is under $22 and includes two sides, making it the most affordable option while still being delicious. The baked potato is also a winner. “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.
Ruth’s Chris Steak House
Ruth’s Chris Steak House’s signature sizzling filet mignon is buttery and tender. “Unparalleled tenderness and flavor,” the chain wrote in an Instagram post. “Absolutely incredible!” writes a Redditor. The restaurant’s baked potato, a large russet potato rubbed with oil/butter and salt, then baked at 400°F-425°F for about 60 minutes until the skin is crisp and the inside is fluffy, comes with butter, sour cream, and chives.

Morton’s The Steakhouse
Morton’s The Steakhouse serves thick, USDA prime-aged filet mignon, known for its tenderness and buttery flavor. The menu currently includes a 6-ounce and 8-ounce filet, plus a 7-ounce Wagyu filet. The “one-pounder” giant Idaho Russet Burbank potato is also a diner favorite, with crispy, salted skin and a fluffy interior, served hot and often topped with butter, sour cream, bacon, and chives.
Outback Steakhouse
Outback Steakhouse diners swear by Victoria’s Filet Mignon. “The filet is also pretty lean and the most tender(my favorite),” a Redditor says. The Loaded Baked Potato is also a favorite; a large Idaho russet potato has a signature salty, crispy skin and is topped with butter, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, bacon bits, and green onions.
