I have never seen so few fries from Five Guys before.
There’s more but they had to crop out the 1ga bag of fries that they use as insulation for your burger.
The fries act as ballast too
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’m a human not a french fry
Arby’s curly fries are peak fast food fries.
As a non-american it blows my mind that you have so many fast food companies.
To be fair, where I’m at in the south we have these. Still a lot but most are very regional
I was pretty sure most of them were made up. I hope this crap never makes it over here
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.
Homemade
Fuck fast foods (and fast fashion and everything related)
Where Del Taco?!
Asking the real questions.
You guys have too many fast food options
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…
Checkers thanks
