Tater Town
Pulaski's baked potato restaurant — one concept, total commitment, surprisingly excellent
The Place
Tater Town in Pulaski takes one idea and commits to it completely: stuff delicious things inside the biggest baked potato you’ve ever seen. The staff wear potato-punned shirts (“Spud Muffin,” “Taters Gonna Tate”) and the owners make the rounds to every table. One food blogger wrote that he had a hard time starting his review with anything other than pure disbelief that a restaurant built entirely around baked potatoes could be this good. They have a dedicated oven just for baking the potatoes.
The Food
The lineup of loaded taters covers serious ground. There’s a Reuben potato with corned beef, sauerkraut, and all the fixings. A Hot Turkey Dinner tater that reviewers say tastes just like Thanksgiving. Pulled Pork Mac & Cheese, BBQ Chicken, Cajun Shrimp, and Chicken Bacon Ranch are all on the menu. For something different, the Teriyaki tater comes on a sweet potato with ground turkey, ginger, water chestnuts, and teriyaki sauce. If nothing on the menu hits right, you can build your own.
Beyond potatoes, the kitchen runs breakfast starting at 7am, loaded fries and chips with toppings like Maryland Crab and Buffalo Chicken, poutine with brown gravy and cheese curds, homemade chips with Campfire sauce, and even a petit filet served with a half tater. Dessert is coconut cream pie and peanut butter pie. In the summer, an ice cream window opens up outside.
Worth Knowing
Reviewers consistently call out the friendly service, the huge portions, and the fair prices — $8–$15 per tater, entrees up to $20. A kid-friendly menu is available. Order online via Toast at tatertowngourmet.com, or just stop in on State Route 3 in Pulaski. It’s the kind of place where the premise makes you laugh and the food makes you come back.
