These chains serve crispy, flavorful pork chops diners rave about.
Fried pork chops are a simple yet tasty option perfect for any meal, be it breakfast, lunch, or dinner. This savory and versatile meat goes well with mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, gravy, green beans and more, and especially with tangy sides like sauerkraut and coleslaw. Making pork chops at home is fairly straightforward but when you want to relax and let someone else do the cooking and cleanup, these restaurants have you covered. Here are five chains with the most delicious fried pork chops.
