Watta Potato by Yogis Bistro Inc
American Restaurant in Chicago
Watta Potato on Chicago's West Side specializes in jumbo Idaho baked potatoes packed with garlic butter and piled high with gourmet toppings like steak, shrimp, lobster, and jerk lamb chops. Signature favorites include the Young OG lamb chop potato with house-made Alfredo sauce, as well as hearty surf-and-turf and Italian beef options. These massive creations serve as complete, multi-portion meals centered around a single potato.
Viewers express strong enthusiasm for the decadent potatoes—especially the lamb chop options—and appreciate the shop offering discounts to essential workers. However, many commenters highlight significant drawbacks, including steep prices, long wait times reaching 45 minutes, and the lack of an order-ahead system.

- Order the Young OG lamb chop potato with house-made Alfredo sauce or the surf and turf.
- Plan to share, as single potatoes are large enough to feed multiple people.
- Ask about community discounts if you are an essential worker.
