Which restaurant has the best French fries?

Err0h

Simple.  Who has the best French fries?   Without condiments.

I absolutely apologize if there's an option here that is not listed, but by all means, please post your opinion and argument for why your choice offers the best French fries. (I'm only allowed to specific at least 10 options)

Penn Station and Five Guys being left off this list is a travesty. 

Of the options listed though, it's probably In-N-Out. Shoutouts to Wendy's when you dip the fries in a Frosty though. S tier.

Fast Food only? Rally's!
I'd have to agree on the Five Guys statement. I like real fries, done fresh! Since Five Guys is set to go bankrupt, probably City BBQ, and Thurmans (for you Columbus people).

Def have to go with Burger King fries. I feel that we could have not listed McDonalds and put something else that stands a chance.

I can agree with this stance as long as it's Pre-2011 BK fries.  Their current recipe are nowhere as good in my opinion.

How can you remember what fries tasted like 10 years ago?  I can't remember last night's dinner

The sauce definitely helps! I can't remember the exacts of BK fries back in the day but I think they would be second best.

No one is mentioning Chick-Fil-A or Raising Caine's fries.

I mean... I don't think they're all that good without the sauces provided by their respective restaurants.

I agree with the Penn Station, City BBQ, and Five Guys! Really any place that serves fresh cut fries!

Not quite current per-se. But the singular best French fry experience I've ever had was at the McDonald's in Banff, Alberta, Canada in 1992. I'm not sure what made them so special, perhaps they were still using some sort of animal fat instead of vegetable oil (I always joke that it was moose grease) but the umami aspect was off the charts and I've never had anything so good since.

Really? Do you ask yours well done? I feel like I've never had "crunchy" fries from Five Guys at least from Columbus. They're definitely solid though!

If they fill your entire bag with fries, aren't you like guaranteed to get some crunchy ones?

I had them again today. The outside is crunchy while maintaining a soft center... until I drench them in vinegar.

If you eat them at the store right away, the worst part of them being Drive-Thru only during covid is the steam in the box makes them soggy.

I really liked the shoestring fries at Steak & Shake. There used to be one of them right across from the MC in Michigan. It's still there but it closed down years ago to what I suspect was mismanagement because that place got a lot of business. I miss going there before/after going shopping at MC with various friends. Logan's Roadhouse was a close second for me, but the pandemic killed that one off as well.

+1 for Chik-Fil-A but don't sleep on Dairy Queen fries!
