      There’s more but they had to crop out the 1ga bag of fries that they use as insulation for your burger.

      Yup. And they know how to make fantastic fries. And cajun seasoning if you want. Fucking great, a worthy compliment to their consistently decent-to-great burgers.

      Every time I eat any fast food burgers besides 5 guys I’m disappointed that I didn’t hold out for 5 guys.

      I’ll agree with that. And they’re all so overpriced, I can’t afford to eat any of them lol

        Overpriced? Really? I thought the whole point was it being fast and cheap. So that only leaves convenience as an argument to go there…

          Yeah a combo meal runs like $13+…It’s ridiculous. My field guys at work eat out every day. I can’t afford it. Cheaper to hit the grocery store and make sandwiches all week.

      And too strong opinions on them. How anyone part age twenty or so can have any thought on them besides ‘yuck’ baffles me.

      What blows my mind is that it’s all large franchise. We have tons of independant selling various form of fast-food. Stuff like Sandwiches, Pizza, kebap and more. But I can’t think about only 2-3 large chain, basically we have Mc-Donalds, Quick, and that’s it ? or may-be burger kind did a comeback last years, not even sure…

    Top two picks from each row:

    • McDonalds is a standard, but I prefer Arby’s seasoned curly fries
    • Wendy’s recently changed their fries and they’re good enough, but prefer Smash fries.
    • (Special mention goes to Canadian KCF, which offers fries and gravy instead of mashed potatoes and gravy. I don’t know if their US fries are different because I don’t mess with that if mashed 'taters are an option.)
    • Five guys and Checkers
    • Steak 'n Shake and Popeyes

    Overall, if I were choosing a place based solely on the fries: Smash > Five Guys > Popeyes > Arby’s

    The top two spots were tricky. I like the 5 guys fresh cut style, but Smash mixes a traditional thin cut fast food fry with rosemary. And they don’t make things weird by giving you more than you can or should eat.

    The only one I actively dislike is Chick-fil-A, but some of the other offerings are ‘meh’ enough that they need ketchup.

    Missing entries: Penn Station and Skyline. They’re both regional, but I like both of them over most of the other offerings. Penn Station has fresh-cut style and Skyline’s fries are thin and crispy.

    I’ve heard of eight of these and I’ve tried four. Are any of them better than Belgian frites?

    I genuinely love McDonald’s fries. I don’t love anything else there and I go maybe once or twice a year, but they really are my favourite fries.

    Checkers/rally’s fries are my #1, plus I think they’re the only ones on this list that backup their fries with a guarantee.

    None of these, I really don’t get why people like fries so much. Those baked potato wedges on the other hand are great
