I was going to do a poll on this but decided it would take forever.  So, in the spirit of my laziness list your top favorite french fries as served by your favorite restaurants.

1.) Burger King - mildly crunchy and just fry perfection I find.
2.) Five Guys Burgers And Fries - I believe the fry in peanut oil giving them a wonderfull distinct taste.
3.) Red Robin - steak fries plus they are bottomless!

Runners up include Johnny Rockets and Wendy's.

Anyplace that has thick steak fries with plenty of skin on 'em is tops in my book.
The shrivelled up, glistening with grease and gooey shoestring ones that are almost ALL skin are pretty gross IMO.
For the most part I think it's hard to make bad fries, so I enjoy them most places.

PT's.  Period.

Their burgers are meh, but their fries are incredible.  Fresh cut and they are covered in an amazing combination of spices.  From what I can tell, it's salt/vinegar and lemon pepper.  They are hands down, the best fries I've ever eaten.

Bojangles is a great runner up.  Awesome fries with amazing spices.  Worth going to the restaurant just for the fries.

My vote goes to Checkers (Rallys in some places). Their seasoned fries may not be your traditional version, but they are delicious. As one web reviewer puts it " The great thing about Checkers and Rally's is that they batter the potato with some sort of seasoned crack."

Cajun Battered Fries from Popeye's.
Worst: McD fries. Too thin, too hard, too greasy.

Braum's, an ice cream and burger store here in TX, has some really great crinkle cut fries.

Of the big chains, I prefer McDonald's.

But, a place called Nifty Fifty's has pretty good fries.  They're fresh cut everyday, you can even watch them cut the fries.  And the thing about their fries: a variety.  They have "Smothered Fries"
Texas Tommy Fries- Fries blended with grilled, diced hot dogs and bacon, topped with cheese whiz
Spicy Chicken Fries- fries blended with grilled diced chicken, spicy seasonings, cheese whiz and shredded provolone
Philly Cheesesteak Fries- topped with Philly Steak, whiz, and shredded provolone

and a few other varieties.  Extra fattening, I'm sure, but well worth it.

Anybody that ever has a chance to go to Ocean city, Maryland has to try Thrasher's fries!


They don't have ketchup, but they have plenty of vinegar!

For ketchup lovers: Don't worry, I love ketchup too.

Steak 'N' Shake- They're so good that my mum doesn't use ketchup on 'em
Bud Broilers- It's local, but just like SNS, She doesn't need ketchup on em

I love McDonald's fries.  When they're fresh out of the tub of boiling oil, a pile of salt dumped on them - MMMMM!  They don't send me to McDonald's any more because half the fries are gone before I get back.

Agreed!
McDonald's fries are the bomb when they're right out of the fryer.
There have been many times when I went through their drive-thru just to get a large order of fries and nothing else.  If the fries are old, I will pull around, park my car, go in and ask them for fresh ones.

Wendy's Biggie fries dipped in a chocolate Frosty are pretty good, too.

I loved Burger King's fries the most.  Fried just enough and they right amount of salt to go with them to give them great flavor.  McDonalds are good, but a bit too salty for me at some points.

I heard good things from some friends.  But I loathe vinegar.  Ketchup is my favorite condiment.

You don't have to use vinegar, but it's the only condiment made available. Their fries are great either way though. I've heard lots of people will go somewhere else and buy a drink or something to get ketchup. There are 2 on the Ocean City, MD boardwalk so there are plenty of places nearby to get ketchup.

I would never use Vinegar. 

There's a spot on the Wildwood boardwalk called Curley's Fries.  Pretty damned good fries.  Of course, I bypass the vinegar in favor of ketchup.

Although, I know people who use Mustard. :buggedout:

I love dipping my fries in plain yellow mustard!   :thumbup:
It has to be French's.  None of that Grey Poupon stuff for me.  (blech!)

Truthfully, I prefer my fries plain with just a light bit of salt on them.  Although I do occasionally dip them in ketchup and/or mustard. 

Chotchkie's.

I agree with DarkSider on Red Robin's, you can't beat steak fries.

Lone Star Streak House serves up a mess o' steak fries smothered in cheese, onions and bacon. Man, those are amazing.

Nothing like fresh cooked fries dipped in Southern Cream Gravy!  YUMMY! :bouncegiggle: :teddyr:

As far as the worst thing I've ever seen put on fries - a few years ago I took a group of students out to eat at Braum's and one girl dipped her fries in her chocolate malt.  Then she dipped her BURGER in it too!!!!!   YEEUCK!!!! :buggedout:

hehe, this reminds me of a time I put fries and onion rings on a burger and dipped it in a vanilla shake. needles to say, IT WAS GOOD! :bouncegiggle:

Fries dipped in a shake is pretty good.  A girl I hung with turned me on to it.
