The best way to communicate with a fish is to drop them a line.

The list said Mickey D's. I like beer battered fries best so if there is a chain with them, that's the one.

Haven't had them in a long time, but Chik-fil-a's waffle fries are the best. Too bad they're owned by homophobic Jesus freaks.

Del Taco

They're sort of gross, but Arby's Curly Fries are delicious.

Hard to choose for me, its between McDonald's and Wendy's

Tuesdi said...

McDonald's...but only if they are fresh and hot.

E said...

McDonalds, hands down

For us who have access to Sonic, their Toys are mighty tasty

Flix Brewhouse

Chick Fil A

Jennifer said...

Rallys/Checkers are pretty damn good.

Burger King. Whoever first had the idea to add breading to french fries should have gotten the Nobel Peace Prize.

No idea. It's been years (over a decade) since I ate fast food.

Vita said...

Not as good as they used to be, but a fresh batch at McDonald's is still pretty great. I also like Hardee's/Carl Jr's. Thankfully, I can usually skip the fries

McD's has taken a step down. I will go with Wendy's.

BK through 3 different overhauls are still the worst. If the Whopper wasnt so good, the chain would fold.

I do, I do mine in my air fryer, comes out perfect..

McDonalds

McDonald's fries were, are, and always will be the best in my book.

Thia said...

McDonald's are my absolute favorite

Thia said...

The time delay on posts getting approved is a bit ridiculous. I mean, I get it, but geez. It's already killing the site.

Tough one!

McDonald's did for a long, long time.

In-n-Out also were good until they started to use smaller potatoes.

Right now, I don't think any do.

Five Guys.

5 Guys.

There is no second place.

Harlita said...

Five Guys!

AListDiva said...

It's hard to pick! I like Wendy's, McDonald's, Arby's and Chik fil A's fries!

Taco Bell's Nacho Fries

fairylights said...

It used to be McDonald's until they changed their oil, now I'd say Whataburger.

Del Taco

Unknown said...

The only real french fries are made by In-N-Out
Everybody else is making shit... potato mash + chemicals forced into a fry shape then fried, then frozen, then refried at your local Burger King (mcd's, Taco Bell, etc)

popeye's Cajun fries

Wing Stop. too bad cheesegrater15 is a psychotic Christianphobe, Heterophobe satanist

AngryLiberalKTS. said...

+1

MissPeach said...

McDonalds or Chik Fil A waffle fries.

Unknown said...

Tommy's in So Cal.

Vita said...

Jennifer-- Argh! Bc they aren't "traditional" French fries, I forgot about Rally's, but those would be my fave!

Five Guys could be fab, but the local one makes them too mushy

Candy Crowley, you rock, and thanks for bringing the punny joy every time you appear!😁

My tribute to you and this Your Turn-- Did you know the original French fries weren't made in France? They were made in Greece (grease)!😊

General question...how do they make waffle fries (shape/cut)? 😕

Sagan said...

Five Guys, hands down!

Gator said...

Five Guys fries are limp & gross. Freddy's fries are the best, but they're mostly just in the midwest.

Mischief Girl said...

Smashburger, for the win.

Freddy's second place

Pogue Mahone said...

McDonald's

Teaching in the trenches said...

McD’s or Freddy’s
(I recently found out if you request “extra crispy” fries @ Raising Canes & Chick-Fil-A, they will be golden brown & crispy)

Hail Satin

Chick-fil-a

McDonald's. One of the earliest McD's was in my hometown -a 'burb of Chi-town. They had an actual 'chef',with hat and apron, behind glass flipping the burgers. This would have been 1968ish.
It was a popular hangout after grammar school and on THEE day I had been evicted from the joint for general goofery, my mother sent me (and middle sister)to get 'dinner' for the family. I wore a scarf and everything but a moustache as a disguise.
Thank god for shift changes.
uhh, yeah McD's fries always.

Thia said...

@James - what does satin fabric have to do with anything? I doubt that makes good fries. :D

Mahogany1 said...

McDonald's

Mary said...

5 Guys hands down the best

Del Taco is quite good. 2nd place in my book. 1st goes to Mc Donalds. Third=Der wienerschnitil

McD's used to be terribly awful, kind of like hot salty greasy worms. Then they went GMO. Since that day they've tasted like stringy cardboard.

Burger King used to be disgusting but someone brought me fries from BK and they were very good.

I'd prefer McD's if they got their act back together. The people voting McD's must have a chain with a better supplier. I thought Simplot supplied all their spuds.

Samantha the 1st said...

Vita I would assume they slice the potato and then use a metal press to get that shape.

Thia said...

You guys are killing me with the Five Guys references. I hear they are amazing. I'm allergic to peanuts, so I've never been. :(

@Samanatha - yes. I have probably 5 McDonald's within 2 miles of my house, but there is one that is the BEST. So it very well could be chain specific.

Samantha the 1st said...

Thia I'm glad there are still some good McD's out there.

Samantha the 1st said...

I meant to say above: terribly, awfully, good, not terribly awful. The really indulgent grease and salt were part of its appeal.

longtimereader said...

They are called chips you pig ignorant savage and the best are from the Grimsby chip shop near welford road.

Mary said...

5 Guys fries are the best, the peanut oil has to be the reason. Sorry about your allergy

Entertain Me, Pleb! said...

Is this a trick question?

Bring a pound of potatoes to any Scottish granny. Done.

But remember...

Wipe your feet outside the door, or she'll brain you with her chip pan.

Leave her a thank-you gift--some nice chops or a bird to roast--and she'll have you back.

Samantha the 1st said...

Of course home fried or cooked or baked spuds are the best but that wasn't the question :p

OKay said...

McDonald's fries used to be THE BEST. I don't know what's happened, but they are so not the best anymore. Actually, the best are from a little donair shop we went to last night (OMG SO GOOD!). But I bet you're looking for a chain, Enty, so I will say that Wendy's fries are excellent.

MsSmithee said...

If you go to In N Out, ask for your fries "well done". Otherwise they're kind of limp. Unlike The Count, I'm certain.

Samantha the 1st said...

In 'n' Out fries are a bit bland, imo. The cheese fries are "okay" but really it's like "American cheese" slices microwaved and hardened into a lump with the fries trapped inside it. It's like a potato geological expedition, trying to spelunk them back out of there.

I'd love a chain that served fries by anyone's granny.

Well my grannies did not make fries/chips. My auntie made me a pan of home fries once. They were the best I ever tasted.

There used to be a fad with fries in a paper cone and a choice of 2 or 3 dips. That was a nice trend. I'm a fries person. It's not so on trend now. Hard to find a nice fry/chip now.
