4 Chain Restaurants Serving the Biggest Nacho Mountains
While you can find nachos on most appetizer menus, the Mexican-inspired shareable isn’t always good. Soggy chips (or not enough of them), a lack of toppings, the wrong ones, or simply too-small servings at a too-high price point are common complaints. Where can you get the best nachos when dining out? Here are 4 chain restaurants serving the biggest nacho mountains.
Yard House Chicken Nachos
The chicken nachos are one of the most popular menu items at Yard House. The massive shared appetizer platter comes with pinto beans, cheddar, monterey jack, tomato, cilantro, onions, guacamole, sour cream, house-pickled jalapeños, guajillo chile, chipotle & tomatillo pepper sauces.”I love their chicken nachos! They are really good but it’s a huge portion. I’ll sometimes get it as a meal for myself and can never finish it!” one person writes on Facebook. And “the cheese pull” is something special that someone noted. “The chicken nachos during happy hour has got to be the best value item EVER. For 7.50 for a big ahh plate of nachos in this economy? Can’t beat it,” a Yelper says.
