9 Amazing Copycat Recipes That Are Just Like Your Restaurant Favorites

With many restaurants shuttered and others offering only takeout and delivery, a lot of families are eating more home cooking these days. While a home-cooked meal can be satisfying and nutritious, you and your family might be missing popular restaurant dishes. But you don’t have to miss some of your favorite foods just because you’re eating at home! These nine restaurant copycat recipes taste enough like the real thing to satisfy cravings.

Starbucks Caramel Frappuccino via Insanely Good Recipes

If you need your Starbucks fix, this recipe might be just what you’re looking for. While many Starbucks are open for at least drive-through orders, we included this recipe on the list might be quicker and easier than waiting in line.

Copycat Cinnabon Cinnamon Rolls via Noshing with the Nolands

Cinnamon rolls have become smash hits during quarantine, but it might be harder to enjoy your favorite cinnamon roll of all: the Cinnabon cinnamon roll. We chose this ooey-gooey copycat recipe because we think it will help fill the void if you can’t make it to a Cinnabon location.

Olive Garden Breadsticks via Dinners, Dishes, and Desserts

Olive Garden breadsticks are downright addictive, which is why this recipe makes the list. While they take some work to make, they can transform a dinner of soup and/or salad into an Italian-style feast.

Copycat Texas Roadhouse Butter via Confessions of Parenting

Looking for a spread to take rolls, bread, oatmeal, or sweet potatoes to the next level? Then this sweet butter is for you. We couldn’t resist including this recipe on the list because it is so easy to make, but it can really transform your meal.

Panera Mac and Cheese via The Cozy Cook

Mac and cheese is one of Panera’s most popular menu items, and for good reason! This rich, satisfying dish is irresistibly creamy and delicious. We included this recipe on the list because we think it will satisfy most people’s comfort food cravings.

Easy KFC Coleslaw via Bake Me Some Sugar

With summer cookouts right around the corner, we couldn’t resist including this copycat version of KFC’s beloved coleslaw. This creamy coleslaw with hints of sweetness and tanginess might be the perfect side dish.

Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuits via The Anthony Kitchen

Red Lobster’s Cheddar Bay Biscuits have a huge cult following, which is why we’ve included this indulgent recipe on the list. These cheesy, buttery treats may be a side dish, but that doesn’t mean they won’t be the star of the dinner table.

Crispy Baked Orange Tofu via Nora Cooks

We’ve included this recipe for all our vegan friends! This dish has similar flavors to Panda Express’s popular Orange Chicken, but it doesn’t have any of the meat. If you’re not a fan of tofu, we think it could also be delicious with cauliflower.

Cheesecake Factory Original Cheesecake Copycat via Sweet & Savory Meals

Cheesecake lovers flock to The Cheesecake Factory for its mouthwatering desserts. This recipe makes the list because we think it could be a great treat after a family dinner.
