Chefs share their favorite steakhouses for steak and loaded baked potatoes.

For meat-and-potatoes fans, few meals are as satisfying as a perfectly cooked steak paired with a loaded baked potato. The steak brings rich, savory flavor, while the potato delivers a hearty combination of fluffy insides, melted cheese, bacon, sour cream, and other classic toppings. But which restaurant chains get this timeless pairing right? Eat This, Not That! asked Steve Ingber, executive chef & owner of MileHighCook, to share their picks for the best places to order steak and a loaded baked potato.

Texas Roadhouse is a great choice for casual steakhouse dining with a menu centered on hand-cut steaks and classic American sides, which Ingber calls “the value play.” He says, “Hand-cut steaks at that price are hard to beat, and the 20-ounce bone-in ribeye has the fat and the bone you want for flavor. The potato comes out hot and fully loaded, the way a steakhouse potato should.”

Outback Steakhouse

Outback Steakhouse has been around for decades, and diners still love its kitschy Australian-inspired theme that offers a range of steaks and tasty sides. “The skin is the whole story of the Outback potato,” says Ingbe. “They salt it so it comes out crispy and seasoned, and the loaded toppings land on something with texture. Pair it with the center cut sirloin and you’ve got a lean steak and an indulgent side, which is the right balance.”6254a4d1642c605c54bf1cab17d50f1e

Known for its upscale dining experience and impeccable service, Morton’s The Steakhouse is another chain that doesn’t disappoint. “Morton’s is where you go when you want the classic done big,” Ingber states. “A bone-in ribeye with real marbling, and a one-pound russet with a fluffy middle and salted skin. Nothing clever, just executed well.”

Mastro’s Steakhouse

Mastro’s Steakhouse pairs an elegant dining experience with a menu of high-end steaks and indulgent sides that Ingber raves about. “Mastro’s goes heavy and doesn’t apologize for it,” he says. “The bone-in ribeye and the chef’s cut chop are serious steaks, and the one-pound loaded potato holds its own next to them. Bring someone to share.”

Ruth’s Chris Steak House

Ruth’s Chris Steak House always delivers an unforgettable meal making it a go-to for diners celebrating special occasions or enjoying a classic steak dinner. “Ruth’s serves the steak sizzling in butter, so the potato has to keep up, and it does,” Ingber explains. “A full pound, loaded with butter, sour cream, bacon, green onion and cheese. It’s not subtle, and that’s the point.”
