Barely cooked pizza dough? Cold lumps of  cheese? Not all potato skins are winners.   Here’s what reviews had to say about these chain  restaurant appetizers, ranked from worst to best. When it comes to potato skins, Macado’s doesn’t  hold back. You can savor what has become the  

Classic version of potato skins. Or, Macado’s can  help you to kick things up a notch with its Spicy   Potato Skins. Filled with a blend of cheddar and  Monterey Jack cheese, jalapeños, black olives, and   onions, this menu item offers an innovative twist  on the otherwise standard potato skin appetizer.

Unfortunately, Macado’s potato skins have failed  to receive the thumbs-up from many of the chain’s   diners. One dissatisfied reviewer commented that  their potato skins arrived to the table burned,   and yet another claimed that the portion  they were served was smaller than it had  

Been in the past. Perhaps this dish is  best left to other restaurants to handle. “Welcome to Logan’s Roadhouse,  the real American roadhouse.” The Made-from-Scratch Loaded Potato Skins  at Logan’s Roadhouse have received mixed   feedback from diners. Some satisfied reviewers  have called the appetizer their favorites and  

The best version of the dish out there,  while others find them underwhelming. One unhappy reviewer describes the chain’s potato  skins as bland, adding that they were filled with   cheese but offered little else in terms of  toppings. Another patron agrees that the  

Dish was very cheesy, but complains that whoever  prepared them seemed to have cut corners, adding, “Only the very top was melted. As you began to cut   them open the cheese underneath  was still cold and not melted.” Even on first glance, it’s clear  that the Pizza Skins served up  

At Uno Pizzeria & Grill don’t quite  fit the typical definition of potato   skins. The elements are there but  the presentation can be surprising. While the look may be shocking to some more  traditional diners, we can’t deny the fact  

That this take on potato skins is a unique and  interesting twist on the classic appetizer, which   certainly makes them worthy of our attention.  Instead of using traditional potato skins as a   base, Uno Pizzeria & Grill’s Pizza Skins are built  on a deep dish pizza crust, incorporating mashed  

Red bliss potatoes, cheddar cheese, and bacon.  The dish is served with a dollop of sour cream. Most diners commend Uno Pizzeria & Grill for  its Pizza Skins, with one reviewer saying, “We opted for the pizza skins and were  pleasantly surprised at how good they were,  

Especially the crust from being  cooked in the cast iron pan.” Several other pizza skin enthusiasts  agree, calling the dish their favorite,   and describing it as great and amazing.  On the downside, one reviewer describes   the pizza skins as simply gross, complaining  that they were served with barely cooked dough.

Given the classic American steakhouse setting,  perhaps it won’t surprise you to learn that   the Black Angus Steakhouse’s Loaded Potato Skins  don’t deviate far from the norm. Aside from being   available as a separate dish, they also feature on  the chain’s generous Wagon Wheel Sampler Platter  

Alongside chipotle Buffalo chicken tenders, fried  garlic-pepper zucchini, and a shrimp cocktail. The Loaded Potato Skins have received  praise from most diners, with one reviewer   claiming they had stayed good through serious  upheaval in the restaurant industry, sharing, “Hadn’t tried Black Angus in some time due  to Covid-19. Decided to drive 20 miles to  

Fill a void…[I’ve] been craving their  potato skins. Just as good as always.” According to one story, potato skins  were invented by a chef at TGI Fridays   in 1974. TGI Fridays VP of concept  development, Matt Durbin, told Eater,

“As legend has it, one of our cooks was making  our mashed potatoes in the back of the house,   and decided to drop the potato skin in the  fryer. When it came out, he threw our proprietary   fry seasoning on it, added cheddar and smoked  bacon, and the rest is, as they say, history.”

Whether the story is true or not,  the chain has certainly done its   share to popularize the savory  snack amongst chain restaurants. Unlike many other versions of the  dish, which are served with sour cream,   TGI Fridays’ Loaded Potato Skins come with  ranch sour cream and green onions. The dish  

Also features in a combo with wings, mozzarella  sticks, and pan-seared potstickers. TGI Fridays   has also released a frozen version of  the snack available in grocery stores,   which currently boasts a pretty impressive rating  of 4.4 out of 5 stars from Target customers.

The restaurant version of TGI Fridays’ potato  skins has received praise from many of its   diners with some glowingly describing the menu  item as delish and delightfully scrumptious. Texas Roadhouse Tater Skins appetizer has received  pretty consistent praise from the chain’s diners.  

Abel Callado of Stories and Reviews gives the  appetizer a generous five out of five stars,   adding that the cheese and bacon complement  the crunchy texture of the potato shells   perfectly. Another reviewer says that  they love the chain’s Tater Skins, adding,

“I love this place. I travel a lot  and have been to many across the   country. Never disappointed. […] The  potato skins are the best of any place.” “I never knew that they deep fry the potato  skins after they bake them, that’s pretty cool.”

Yet another diner, who ordered the chain’s  potato skins alongside several other dishes,   says that it was perfectly good, though  they weren’t utterly stunned by the quality. The Classic Potato Skins are a beloved item at  99 Restaurants, with reviewers willing to heap  

Glowing praise on this menu item. Perhaps  this is one of the reasons the dish caused   quite a stir when it disappeared from some  of the chain’s menus in early 2023. While   the reason for this wasn’t initially clear, it  was later revealed that a devastating fire at  

A potato plant where the chain sourced its  produce left 99 Restaurants short on spuds. The chain promptly replaced the favorite  menu item with loaded tater tots. However,   the move left some potato skin  enthusiasts unimpressed. Luckily,   the snack seems to be back on 99 Restaurants’  menus, marking an end to the potato skin drought.
