Fast food fries are often the best part of a quick meal. Sometimes they are perfectly golden and crispy but other times they end up totally soggy. I decided to rank the most popular fast food french fries out there to see which ones are truly worth your time today.
13 In N Out Burger Fries
People love this chain but their fries are honestly a letdown for me because they are always too soft. I feel a good fry should be crispy right out of the bag without asking for them well done.
12 Shake Shack Crinkle Cuts
These have a great shape but the cooking oil leaves a very strange aftertaste. A lot of people might not mind but to me every batch tastes like old grease and ruins the vibe.
11 Hardees And Carls Jr Natural Cut
I remember when they swapped their classic fries for this thicker version with the skins left on. They wanted them to feel premium but they just ended up being way less crispy and disappointing.
10 Taco Bell Nacho Fries
These seasonal fries have a huge fan base because the savory cheese spice blend is super tasty. They are fun to eat but they just do not scratch that classic french fry itch for me.
9 Arbys Classic Curly Fries
I always give bonus points for curly fries because they are fun to eat and have a great texture. The only issue is the heavy seasoning leaves a weird film on my tongue afterwards.
8 Burger King Standard Fries
These are perfectly fine and crispy enough when you need a quick salty snack on the road. I am never upset to get them but they are not something I would order by themselves.
7 Wendys Skin On Fries
I am usually skeptical of fries with the potato skin on because they are often cut way too thick. These are not completely perfect but they are the most solid skin on option around.
6 Five Guys Boardwalk Style Fries
They fry these in peanut oil and give you a massive portion dumped right into the bag. The flavor is totally there but they are just a little too heavy and greasy for my taste.
5 Chick Fil A Waffle Fries
Waffle cuts can be controversial but this place makes them wonderfully crispy on the outside and soft inside. They taste exactly like real potatoes and are absolutely perfect for dipping into all those sauces.
4 Raising Canes Crinkle Cut Fries
Since they have a small menu there is pressure on these fries to be delicious every single time. They always deliver a great fluffy bite and become magical when you dip them in sauce.
3 Del Taco Golden Fries
I think no other crinkle cut fry tastes quite as good as the ones from this taco spot. They are wonderfully fluffy and perfectly salted without any of that weird old oil aftertaste.
2 McDonalds World Famous Fries
It would be crazy not to put these near the top because they are the ultimate standard for fast food everywhere. They are cut to the perfect size and stay incredibly soft on the inside.
1 Checkers And Rallys Seasoned Fries
This might surprise some French fry lovers but these beer battered fries are packed with an amazing savory spice blend. They are so satisfying that you can even buy them in the grocery store freezer aisle.
