Who has the best French fries? (crunchy, creamy, clams, tasty)

[Joe the Photog]

Honorable mention has to be Fuddruckers dipped in their hot cheese

Boardwalk fries. Drive to the closest boardwalk and find the fries stand with the line. Heaven in a cardboard cup, with malt vinegar. No cheese ever. I love cheese but there is a time and a place.

Five Guys

Chip trucks in Ontario. They just have these parked chip trucks that have someone inside making fries from real potatoes. You can get other things, like hot dogs and peameal sandwiches and sometimes chicken fingers, but they are called chip trucks because chips/fries are the main thing.

SO good with vinegar and salt.

I don't think any American chain restaurant or fast food serves Belgian fries.

It must been a long time ago you had those.
They tasted real great because..... They used horse fat in the oil..

But nowadays it is no longer allowed.
I lived in the Netherlands about 10 miles from Belgium. Still go there 6 times a year and the fries are just average.

Pepperbelly's in San Saba Texas has the best fries of all time. They have a tiny bit of batter coating, and you can eat them as a meal.

Second best is Hyde Park Grill and Bar, in Austin Tx.

McDonalds fries are good, too, if you get them hot.

I can vouch for Five Guys, in Sioux Falls, SD. Good fries, fun restaurant. Fun history.

I will say that was the ONLY regular, sit down restaurant within 20 miles of Beresford, SD. We weren't that critical, because, where the hell is food around here. It was endearing, and good.

So since it's the ONLY restaurant in 20 miles, it's a little hard to be choosy. ;D

McDonald's fries have always been good, so I'd say they're the best of the choices offered. Burger King's fries have always been consistently mediocre.

As for other places, I love the waffle fries of Chick-fil-A. And the steak fries of Red Robin. And the crinkle fries of Del Taco.

I agree Wendy's fries were the best before they changed them. My fav now is crinkle fries at Zaxbys. Next Chick-fil-A waffle fries

I voted "other" because, as chains go, I like Sonic's French fries the best -- and their cheese sticks -- and their milkshakes

McDonald’s when they aren’t undercooked.

A local BBQ restaurant has crinkle fries that are good if the cook them extra crispy where some of them are saturated with the oil and crispy. But you have to pay extra for well done fries.
