The Loaded Potato

Awesome meal with great staff! My friend even got the «fake» potatoes and it was so good, you would never know! We will be back. One thing to note — no soups in summer…

Great service wonderful cashier name mariah that I am so proud of… overall best loaded potatoes in the valley…

This place is so good. Random find on my phone. I’ll def be back for lunch again. Ms Dee is very nice!

We didn’t realize this was aimed at take-​out orders when we first went and waited quite a long time… TOTALLY worth it! The food is ridiculously good! We ordered jerk chicken on sweet potato and jambalaya on regular potato for dinner and strawberry sweet potato and marshmallow sweet potato for desserts, as well as some wings. Not a mediocre food in the lot. And the staff are so friendly! This is the perfect example of the mom and pop local shops we love to explore and support. They even went through the extra trouble of accommodating several food allergies, finding us dishes we could have or ways we could alter existing dishes to be safe. We will definitely be back next weekend to try more dishes, although we will put our order in ahead of time!

Really delicious. I ordered a ⁵⁰⁄₅₀ pulled pork and philly cheese steak. They were out of brisket. It was over 17 bucks for a jumbo potato loaded and a coke. We ordered 3 potatoes and it took 40 minutes total to order and get the food. Very good but kinda pricey.

I first have to say that I love Miss D. She is so sweet with a little sassiness! Very pleasant person. The two negatives about this restaurant are price and wait time. I got the small potato with bbq chicken and veggies at the tune of $ 12. Wow! And the wait… waiting…waiting…waiting…30 minutes later… LOL
The potato was good but I’m not sure I will return due to the wait and price.

What a wonderful place to go to not only get good food but excellent customer service and a feeling of warmth and welcoming! Ironically, I remember the owner, miss Dee from having a candy store in the neighborhood way back when I was a young kid in junior high school!!! She had the best hot wings ever!!! To see her flourishing with her own business is an amazing sight. Don’t think about it just go, you won’t regret the decision!!!

This shop is set inside a tiny little strip mall and is an equally small space. When we entered we were greeted warmly by the cashier but while we browsed through the menu she disappeared somewhere in the back and we had to wait a long time for her to actually come back to the front.
You have many options for your potato. First of all, the actual potato. You can have your standard Russet, sweet potato, or cauliflower if you are going low carb. You also have your choice of sizes (Medium, large, and extra large) with sample sizes in the glass case at the counter. There are various hearty toppings and meats for your potato and there is also a mixed vegetable topping option.
We decided on a large size jambalaya and Buffalo chicken potato, with mixed cheese (Monterey jack and cheddar) loaded style (Bacon bits, green onion, sour cream, butter) with fried jalapeños. They both tasted delicious. The jambalaya had a perfectly cooked mixture of shrimp, chicken and sausage, and the Buffalo chicken sauce had the right amount of vinegary tangy flavor. Both were loaded with a hefty amount of toppings and meat, and the combination of textures and flavors was balanced.
The real downfall of this place is the waiting time. This is definitely not fast food as it took 45 minutes for 2 potatoes to be made. I was famished when I got here and had I known it would take so long I probably would have gone somewhere else for a quicker meal.
Since the space is so miniscule and there isn’t a lot of air conditioning when it’s warm, your best bet is to place an order ahead of time and get it to go. Overall the potatoes were great but the wait time really killed it for me.

Such a fun alternative to the usual eateries! Ms. Dee is the most fun & friendly personality. It was my first time, and she will walk you through everything. The customer service here is outstanding.
With any small, hole-​in-​the-​wall eatery, don’t expect to be in & out quickly. They make everything FRESH. And make it as ordered. So you know you are going to get exactly what you ordered and it will be 100% freshly prepared. This is a very small place, so the inside dining area is limited & very crowded, but I ordered mine to go. So that was not an issue. This is a place I will continue to visit. Can’t beat some good comfort food & more than pleasant service.

This place has some of the most amazing tasting and flavorful food I’ve ever had. It’s worth the time you wait when ordering. You can’t eat this stuff standing up, your knee’s buckle. It’s that good. Every time I come I get something different and I haven’t been disappointed yet.

Saw the article on the New Times today and so glad I ran across that. As potato lovers we Had to visit this little whole in the wall in south Phoenix! Ms. Dee is a friendly and smart business owner with delicious food to offer. My husband had the steak, my nephew had the buffalo chicken, and I had the brisket and I can’t even say which one was the best out of the three ! Great flavors and there are three different sizes to choose from! Definitely going back because there was a lot to choose from! #loadedpotato #southphx

I’d heard great things about this little gem of a place and had to try it for myself. I was greeted with «We’ve been waiting for you» I was so pleasantly surprised with the friendliness. I was amazed at the amount of food you get for the price besides the fact that it was DELICIOUS!
The variety of toppings, meats and the diverse choices of ethnic flavor options will keep this place open for a long, long time.
I’ll be back for sure!

Just get the gigantic potato (if you want to get full) and let Miss D tell you how to order. I had the BBQ brisket loaded with everything and fried onions. SOOOO GOOD! No place to sit down and eat so make this a call-​in, to-​go or a Grub Hub meal. This is the hood y’all, but you won’t regret your trek here. Next time I will make sure to try one of the dessert sweet potatoes.

Found this little divey place on Unilocal and after reading a few reviews I had to try it out. The ladies/​owner there were super friendly and we shared a buffalo chicken loaded potato that was awesome and a philly sandwich that was great too. My daughter loved the broccoli cheese spud and would surely go back:) well done ladies. Like your style;)

First time at Loaded Potato. I came here three times before but they were closed. After talking with Dee, she said they are closed Sunday’s and Monday’s and open up a bit later on Saturday’s, so that contributed to my problem. The neighborhood BTW, is horrible.
I arrived at 6 PM on a Wednesday and it was empty. Dee took care of me, tho, when she saw me wandering the lobby. It was a bit confusing until she got me straightened out. I ordered a large potato which is about 6″ long. The jumbo is at least 8−9″. The potatoes come with a lot of toppings, including one protein. I chose brisket and it came to $ 11.37.
Soulful Pandora music like Mary J Blige played on the TV while I waited. It took about 10 minutes to build my dinner.
The potato was fluffy and cooked just right. The brisket very flavorful as were the rest of the toppings. I really couldn’t improve on it if I tried, so I’ll come back.

OK, I came here after reading reviews from Unilocal and decided to give it a try.
First the good, everything said about Ms. Dee is Right, she is very sweet, like a mom. I called in my order on my break, she took it and helped me with her menu. I was hoping the prices would be online, but had to trust her in giving them to me.
When I got there, there were other patrons (about 3) waiting. There was this young woman, seem nice, that rung up my order. I asked about a menu, she said ask Ms. Dee. Ms. Dee brought my food, thanked me and we even talked a bit about where she came from (Arkansas) and her celebration of one year in business. It was a great experience.
Driving back, my food smelled so good. The taste of my potato (BBQ brisket, fully loaded) was good, not great (had to add some salt).
The sweet potato pie I had to order was THE meal for me. Only my mom’s is better.
The bad, as mentioned, I had to add salt, which was not in the bag. For a loaded potato with brisket that was not really bbq’d, I think the price was very high. 4.50 for a medium potato and 4.75 for brisket felt high. The pie was 1.75, I would pay 2.00 for that. I didn’t felt full afterwards which spending 13.00 for felt worse. I believe I was overcharged as my receipt showed three items when I left with two, also not good.
Final thoughts, if I had to rate my experience, this would be it: out of 1to 5(5 being best), customer service 5, taste of food, potato 4, pie 5, value of food to cost 3.
In the end, The Loaded Potato is a nice place but beware of the cost to value. I still felt I was robbed a buck (forced tip?), and hope if Ms. Dee is reading this she would make that right some how. I wish her well, just not sure if I would return. Even for the pie.

Im hooked, my loaded baked potato with chili and crispy jalapeños was to die for. There are so many options it will take me 10 more visits to get through half of the menu.
I have already planned my next visit. Fish Friday from 4pm to 8pm.

Good sized potatoes. Staff is real friendly. Give this place a try when in the area.

I went here based on the Unilocal reviews… I’m guessing I just got a bad meal, probably the exception, but this was case…
I waited for 35 to 40 minutes on my food, that was tough for me, I work a lot of hours and every minute waiting at lunch is that much later I leave for home at night. Also, while waiting in the lobby, there were children there which is no big deal except that one of them in particular kept yelling and screaming at the top of his lungs in an echo chamber of a room, that alone will usually mean that I won’t return.
So, I got a jumbo potato with pulled pork.
When I got it, it had a bit of a funny smell, but being a new place and a lot of items were on it, I thought nothing of it. Ate half of it for lunch, it was OK, not great, not bad… But, I felt ill about an hour later and ended up pretty sick the rest of the evening. (out both ends, I know TMI)
The next day when I got to work I pulled the other half out of the fridge, opened the box and a RANCID stench came running out at full speed smacking me right in both nostrils… Nearly made me throw up again for the 6^th or 7^th time. I believe the pork was not just bad, but rotten. So, so nasty the next day… good food will not smell rancid 24 hours later in the refrigerator…
Miss D was a very nice lady and I do wish her the best, but there are times when I cannot give a place a second try, this is one of those times.
Based on the other reviews, you might want to try it out, I hope you have better luck than I did…

Growing up, my mom made a huge deal about how often I would eat potatoes. 10 years later, drinking more water and eating more fruits has her thinking I’ve changed my eating habits. Ohhh…
This place was everything I have been looking for in «fast food.» Wendy’s has nothing on this potato.
I got my spud Loaded with Sesame chicken with vegetable. It was awesome. Miss D came out to greet me and introduced me to herself and Miss Charlotte. It got a little shy, I’ll admit. How often does the cook come out to introduce themselves? This place has a welcoming feel, which is good. It is comfort food, after all.
My only cons about this place:
–It gets slightly uncomfortably hot during the day in the summer, even with the fans going. It’s not unbearable, but it’s definitely noticeable.
–There’s only «bar”-style seating, so you’ll most likely want to get everything for pick up.
–The place is easily missed; the sign is hard to see from the street.
But if all you care about is the quality of the food and the service, well. The food is great and the ladies are very hospitable. One thing that really got me about this place is the set of little fliers on the wall next to the cashier window. «_​_​_​_​and Bud paid it forward so _​_​_​_​could get loaded.» I think that’s really neat. You can pay for the next random person or for someone you reccomend to come in.
For a place that’s only been open since December, they seem to be doing well. I will be back, and bringing friends.
