Five Guys, with only about 1,700 locations, is known for their customizable fresh beef burgers, juicy hot dogs and thick milkshakes. But what really excites us is that their fries are double cooked in peanut oil! Five Guys absolutely differentiates from the standard fast-food chains by going premium and everything is about twice the price of McDonald's. Sure you get those wonderfully roasted peanuts for free as you order. But are they worth the price? And does peanut oil make a difference? Let's find out. Five Guys in Foster City, CA. The sack of peanuts is an essential part of the brand. Texture (10/10) The texture of the fries is perfect. Just look at the picture. On the outside, the fries are gold (literally) and super crispy even with the full-length potato skin. When you bite into it, you get a satisfying baritone crunch that is delightful both to your mouth and ears. The inside is soft and wholesome, and the perfect thickness gives it heft and no flopping is ever observed. You can confidently dip them into ketchup without the worry of losing its essence. Never has this blog reviewed fries with better texture, nor can we imagine of one. For the first time ever, we proudly bestow these fries a score of 10 for their texture. Just look at them. Golden and crispy. You can't Photoshop better. The full-length potato skin is part of the crisp. The thickness is a perfect balance of crisp and the soft inside. Flavor (7/10) Supporting the texture, the flavor of these fries is awesome. There is a good amount of salt and the peanut oil gives it a slightly savory tint. The level of saltiness may be tad bit too strong but when combined with the thick-cut innards, they strike a great balance. Truly, fries don't get much better than this. However, due to the rich oil crisp, the flavor can dull your senses a bit. If there was a bit of seasoning like Johnny Rockets , it may have been a perfect score. Shape (8/10) Although Five Guys may not have the most special shape, staying truthful to its natural beauty of hand-cut potatoes actually makes it feel more premium and fresher. The sticks are thick, bumpy and coarse with many of them proudly wearing the skin. Thus the edges of the fries are not "clean", but we like it that way. One special thing to note was the length. We don't know where they found such tall potatoes but many of the sticks were longer than my 7 year old sister's hand. Look at the length! Presentation (7/10) Unlike the standard cartons, Five Guys serves their fries in a thick tall paper cup. We think this is ingenious as it can hold those tall sticks vertically. And the volume of the cup is much larger than the largest McDonald's carton. However, what is also interesting is they dump another load of fries in the paper bag after they carefully placed the full cup of fries. This results in a messy display of golden goodness packed in the brown bag. Yes, the presentation is not pretty but my god you get a lot of fries. It is quite a scene to lay out the "mess" by tearing the side of the paper bag. Not pretty, but absolutely distinguished. Fries served in a rigid paper cup. And another portion in the brown paper bag. Experience (9/10) As mentioned earlier, Five Guys is not cheap. The large fries which we ordered came in at over $8, about double the price of your typical fast-food chain. However, we all believe that every penny of the price is worth it. The quantity you get pretty much justifies the price (we think it is double that of McDonald's) but then you get perhaps one of the best fries in the world. The entire experience is simply joyful whether you are crunching through a crispy stick of wonder, dipping them in ketchup, or when you discover a whole another portion when you look into the paper bag container. Oh, not to mention their pairing with the juicy fresh burgers. We do not believe a fries experience can get much better than this. Texture 10 Flavor 7 Shape 8 Presentation 7 Experience 9 Overall 8.2 / 10 Conclusion With crispy and well flavored fries, unique container, and satisfying quantity, Five Guys is so far the best fries that we have reviewed, and we are confident that it will take something truly special to be better. Love and passion cannot be felt in most fast-food restaurants, and they simply cannot produce such quality fries, no matter the price point. Five Guys achieves the seemingly impossible - the perfect fries, complete with potato skins, savory and crunch, solid with heft yet not overwhelmingly mushy. Yes, there could've been a bit more seasoning, and we can nitpick on the messy presentation. But we simply loved every bite. We salute Five Guys for creating one of the best fries in the world! The peanuts are well roasted and quite tasty! And yes, unlimited.

Burger King certainly has its place in the global fast-food landscape. With over 6,500 locations in the US and 13,000 globally across 96 countries, it is perhaps seen as the primary competitor for McDonald's. Armed with the flame-grilled Whopper, they provide a juicier and more flavorful burger. But what about their fries? Given McDonald's fries has set the " benchmark ", we were super excited for what the underdog had to bring to the table. Burger King in Redwood City, CA on El Camino and Hopkins Ave. Texture (2/10) Burger King's fries feel packed and wholesome. They have heft, unlike the recently reviewed fries from Wendy's . However, it was very disappointing that there was minimal crisp on the outside. These fries felt like mashed potato shaped as a stick rather than a crispy delight. The texture overall was bland and uninviting. Fortunately, they weren't dry but that make the entire experience too mushy. There's minimal crisp on the outside seen by uniform colors. Flavor (2/10) Just like the texture, the flavor too was bland. Almost no salt and any type of seasoning. We were caught off guard on how such a global chain could provide thick mashed potato sticks without providing any type of meaningful flavor as it just amplifies the uninspiring texture. Even mashed potatoes are served with butter, sour cream, cheese and bacon bits. Shape (5/10) These are your standard, every day, fries shape. The sticks tend to be on the shorter side. Thanks to all the stuffing and heft, the fries do maintain their shape well. Absolutely no flopping, even when you dip it in ketchup. This makes it easy to eat. Presentation (4/10) Pretty standard presentation in a well-shaped carton. The cartons can stand up by itself, and the vertical stick placement looks finger-inviting. However, it was very disappointing that they didn't fill the container with enough fries. We checked the brown bag whether any had spilled but that wasn't the case. It just doesn't look like those on their ads. There is so much empty space in these cartons. Couldn't they have filled it more? Experience (5/10) Although Burger King fries are just not enjoyable on their own, they actually paired really well with their juicy delicious Whoppers. The blandness balances the burst of flavors from the Whopper patty and sauce. Perhaps these fries were intentionally designed to go along with other menu items, but even so, the fries experience is not worthy of a throne. Texture 2 Flavor 2 Shape 5 Presentation 4 Experience 5 Overall 3.6 / 10 Conclusion As the name of the brand suggests, yes, we understand that it was "Burger" King and not "Fries" King. And it is clear that they put a lot of pride behind their Whopper with the tagline of "Home of the Whopper". However, we just wish they had put just a tad bit more effort on their fries. We are genuinely disappointed and convinced that Burger King's fries actually damage their reputation and brand. Bland and uninspiring. Burger King's fries is one of the lowest scoring fries we've reviewed. Home of the Whopper where the fries don't get their own room .

Wendy's is one of the largest fast-food chains with over 7,200 locations. They have made a name for themselves to use fresh, never-frozen patties accented with their square shape. And of course, with the friendly, cheerful, and sassy personality built around their logo. But are their fries worthy of the smile Wendy puts on her face? Even more so, will it put a smile on our own faces? Here's our Wendy's fries review. The freckles, the blue ribboned pigtails, and the smile on Wendy. Texture (2/10) The texture of Wendy's fries does not fare well against competition. In general, the fries feel "deflated" and the internals much hollow. These sticks do not scream life or energy, rather they look scrawny and tired. We understand that fries are not stuffed but somehow it just feels like something sucked the insides out. The exterior was also a bit soggy and there was minimal crisp to be found. Wilted, soggy, and deflated exterior while the internals are hollow. Flavor (6/10) Although the texture was far from ideal, the flavor was surprisingly decent. The fries had a good amount of salt, perhaps a bit too much even. Some of us could have sworn we sensed a bit of added "spice" or sugar, and definitely this wasn't just pure potato, oil and salt. It cannot be said there was a kick to the flavor but again, all around quite solid. They are tasty fries no doubt. Shape (5/10) Wendy's fries is your standard natural cut shape - a round potato sliced in sticks. It even had the tips with the surface of the round potato preserved, covered in potato skin. We believe visually this was pleasing. However, due to the deflated and soggy nature, as you pick up the fries, they will flop or droop down. This problem worsens as you dip the tip in ketchup adding weight. Presentation (7/10) We are delighted that Wendy's serves their fries in a carton container that is deep as well as contains and protects the fries well. With our takeout, barely any spilled out in the paper bag. They look delicious and are placed vertically to stick out extending an invitation to grab some. Perhaps the only way to present better would be neatly organizing the fries in the carton but we understand that takes effort and time. Look at the smile prominently greeting you with the fries above her head. Experience (5/10) Wendy's fries pair well with the sauce and burger that is served along. However, we cannot say that the standalone fries experience was top notch. The soggy, flopping sticks with minimal crunch simply do not put a satisfactory smile on our faces. Texture 2 Flavor 6 Shape 5 Presentation 7 Experience 5 Overall 5.0 / 10 Conclusion It is clear that Wendy's is trying to differentiate itself from McDonald's by being the friendlier, fresher, and more natural choice. And we believe their fries point in the same direction of their ethos - probably fresh cut, natural shapes, and solid flavors. However, in this day and age, you cannot compete in the fries arena with whatever cooking method they are adopting for deflated and floppy sticks. Dear Wendy's, less salt, more substance please.

With only 418 locations across 8 states, one cannot pass the legendary In-N-Out when visiting California. In-N-Out is known for its fresh patties and hand-cut fries. The franchise to this day is family-owned and keeps their menu simple for preserving quality. So how do their supposedly fresh, sunflower oil fries stack up? Will they live up to their famed burgers? Or will they go in, only to be spat out? Here's our In-N-Out fries review. Texture (2/10) The fries have a questionable dryness to them and barely have a crunch. We are not sure whether this is the sunflower oil or some other factor contributing to a lower cooking temperature. These potato sticks are lifeless, with no crisp strength and the exterior falls apart in your mouth. Imagine chewing on warm cardboard. Pictures don't do justice with the lifeless texture. Flavor (1/10) There is pretty no seasoning and taste whatsoever in these fries. Aside from the tiniest pinch of salt, which we do not understand why such stingy amounts, the fries are bland at the least devoid of any personality or character. As you chew through warm, dry cardboard, you can feel the sadness and sorrow that form the base of its flavor profile. Also, some of the sticks are burnt adding to a hint of occasional bitterness which is simply not acceptable. Shape (4/10) You have your standard sticks that are not only short but droop like a wilted flower. Adding to the sorrow of the flavor, the shapes just don't add much to sway us the other way. We are giving it an average grade due to the familiarity of standard fries but honestly, our assessment makes us question the size of the potatoes as well as the cutter In-N-Out uses. Presentation (5/10) The boat-shaped container of these fries spreads out the short, sorrowful sticks in the most abundant way possible. Clearly, this is better than just dumping the fries on the side or in a bag and they sit well visually next to their juicy burgers. I think this is perhaps the best aspect of In-N-Out fries. They do fall over easy when carrying them on a tray though. Perhaps the best way to present short, wilted, and soulless fries. Experience (3/10) In-N-Out fries, fresh, hand-cut and made with sunflower oil, are uninspiring and sorrowful to say the least. And it really is difficult to eat them by themselves. However, they do go somewhat well with their juicy flavorful burgers, adding a balance and relief from the intense flavor. But this is not enough to save the mini boat of potato cardboard strips. Texture 2 Flavor 1 Shape 4 Presentation 5 Experience 3 Overall 3.0 / 10 Conclusion At the bottom of the fries container, it proudly says "Since 1948, we've been cooking our fries in 100% trans-fat free, cholesterol free vegetable oil. Out potatoes are peeled and diced at each store and cooked fresh for you." It almost adds the missing salt to the wound of consuming disappointing and soulless fries. In-N-Out Burgers really needs to go back to the drawing board on this one. Sunflower, canola, or duck-fat can be mentioned then.

Chick-fil-A, although not one of the mega chains, consistently ranks top in customer satisfaction. It has over 3,200 locations and is known for its chicken sandwich and waffle fries. Well, we put those golden grids to the test today. The fry's unique shape absolutely sets it apart from the vast majority of the stick-style competition. We love the taste of Chick-fil-A's chicken sandwiches. But would it be the same for their fries? Here's our Chick-fil-A fries review. Chick-fil-A at the Bridgepointe in San Mateo, CA. Texture (2/10) These fries have a weird and a bit unsettling texture. The outside has little to no crunch nor crust, while the inside is overly mushy and almost tastes like a paste. It almost felt like they were undercooked or perhaps the frier wasn't set at the right temperature. We would've given a better score if it was just for the exterior but literally spreading the potato paste on our tongues was not an experience we could do more of. The exterior is a bit more convincing but exposes much surface area that simply isn't crispy. Look at that potato paste... Flavor (2/10) The waffle fries have no seasoning and scant hints of salt. Perhaps they didn't shake it evenly enough as the bottom pieces did taste a bit saltier but overall, such blandness for the majority of the experience isn't something to overlook. Paired with the paste-like texture, it really comes across as a soulless mouthful of starch. Chick-fil-A may have attempted to create bland fries on purpose to pair it with the eventful and exciting chicken in their buns, but on its own they are difficult to appreciate. Shape (8/10) Interestingly, Chick-fil-A's signature waffle fries do an excellent job maintaining the shape and structure, and the overall build is solid. As you pick up each piece, your brain expects more and makes the visual connection to potato chips that we all enjoy. We think the shape is definitely something that more kitchens should attempt. Presentation (5/10) The fries come in a standard carton container that is nearly square on its base and has no issues standing upright. They look great next to any sandwich or drink. Due to the size of each piece, there is a bit of a struggle for every one of them to be stacked neatly and maintain their place in the container. We would've given it a higher score here except we couldn't help thinking how much space was being wasted in the container due to the large chunks not packed orderly. A lot of space is being wasted in the container. Experience (4/10) The fascination that emanates from the waffle shape quickly gives way to the bland taste and uninteresting texture. We do not believe that the waffle shape complements the chicken sandwiches in any different way than regular fries. And the large portion had only 14 pieces, for a price of $6, so there's definitely a sense of being cheated on value as well. Texture 2 Flavor 2 Shape 8 Presentation 5 Experience 4 Overall 4.2 / 10 Conclusion We had high hopes for Chick-fil-A's waffle fries. They are visually striking and look so good in pictures. However it simply could not uphold the expectation of the fast food chain with top customer satisfaction. We do not believe these fries stand a chance against the greatest out there.

With only 175 locations in the US and 375 worldwide, it is not easy to come across a Johnny Rockets. So when we found one in Scottsdale, AZ, we had to rush to review those golden sticks. These fries have a great crunch, while maintaining their form perfectly, which can only be achieved by keeping some of that potato skin. Here's our Johnny Rockets fries review. Johnny Rockets at the Fashion Square Mall in Scottsdale, AZ. Texture (9/10) These immensely crispy fries have a crunch second to none, crispy shell including plenty of pieces with potato skin, and gorgeously soft innards. The crackling sound you hear with every bite is absolutely satisfying and elevates the experience, something that most fries cannot accomplish. Based on the texture, these fries are on top of their game. Flavor (8/10) Johnny Rockets fries have a special seasoning along with the salt. The gentle paprika, garlic and pepper gives it an ever so needed kick that takes the fries to a whole new level. We also sensed a hint of "sugar" or some other type of sweetness that holds together the various seasoning ingredients. Based on flavor, these are simply wonderful. Shape (6/10) The fries are standard shaped and one can clearly tell that the round surface of the fries appear the most on the "tip" of the stick with potato skin often attached to it. The cuts from the side are obviously round on one edge. Nothing special here. Just a round potato faithfully cut into sticks. Presentation (3/10) Unfortunately, there's not much to say about the presentation. The fries were just dumped next to the burger. This isn't necessarily a bad thing but we think these fries need more dignity and attention. Ketchup was also difficult to access. Again, even accounting for takeout packaging, it's a bit of a miss. Look at that seasoning! Experience (9/10) The amazing fries perfectly complement the burger from Johnny Rockets and completes the meal in a way not possible by any other side. If you skip the fries at Johnny Rockets, you really haven't experienced flying to the moon. These are fries that can stand their own ground, even without ketchup or extra salt, and bursts with flavor upon each bite, making your hands reach out for more as you chew. Johnny Rockets provides a near-perfect experience. Texture 9 Flavor 8 Shape 6 Presentation 3 Experience 9 Overall 7.0 / 10 Conclusion Johnny Rockets is clearly doing something right here. It manages to create fries that are delicious, has character, while satiating the mainstream palate for everyone to enjoy. It is a bummer that the chain is shrinking slightly. We truly want more people to enjoy these golden sticks made with passion. Wherever you are in the country, if you see a Johnny Rockets, you know what to order.

The fries from McDonald's, the timeless classic, needs no introduction. This crispy stick of potato sets the bar for all other fries. With the original combination of saltiness and crunchiness that strikes the balance of flavor in your mouth, the "everyday benchmark" shall be tested to find its true place in the ranks. Here's our McDonald's fries review. Texture (6/10) Crispy and crunchy on the exterior while soft and warm on the inside. They are always well heated and have a genuine crunch to them. You can feel the texture of the potato as it slides through your mouth. Texture is one of the great strengths of McDonald's fries. Flavor (6/10) McDonald's has always set the benchmark for fries but the real familiarity with these fries lies in the classic flavor of these golden sticks. They are warm and well salted all around. They jolt your senses with a short flavor which begs you to eat more. This is the standard, that is vernacular yet difficult to surpass. Shape (7/10) The shape of the fries are a standard stick-like shape. They are quite sturdy so your fries won't be flopping about. They are easy to hold, long, and accessible too for grabbing with your fingers from the container. It's designed for easy consumption on the go. Presentation (3/10) The classic red carton that fries are served in, with the big yellow M on the front, has been synonymous to the benchmark enjoyed by millions. However, it has been some time since they have replaced this with a paltry paper bag, without shape and character. This was truly a disgrace for the Large sized fries. For this, we deducted points but it does seem like in April of 2025, with the advent of A Minecraft Movie , the red Cadillac of fries container seems to be making a comeback. Until we see this more consistently, the score will remain at 3. The paper container Large Fries really was a downsizing in volume. We hope the classic red cartons are back permanently. Experience (8/10) The fries pair well with the burgers or the nuggets that come alongside providing a salty and crunchy balance to whet your palate. A McDonald's meal is never complete without the fries and for this, it's place in the overall experience is crucial. Texture 6 Flavor 6 Shape 7 Presentation 3 Experience 8 Overall 6.0 / 10 Conclusion The McDonald's French Fries is truly a classic all over the world. It is impressive how they are able to maintain such consistency and a high bar in so many locations, making everyone on this planet happy. However, it does not mean that it is the pinnacle of potato perfection. The flavors can be a bit too mundane and have a tough time competing with fresh cut fries as they are factory produced on a mass scale. Also, McDonald's had a huge gamble with the Large Fries packaging. Still, as an everyday benchmark, it is a high bar to pass and is worthy of an aspirational target, for all other makers of fries.

To all the culinary enthusiasts, fry aficionados, and those who think they can cook but really just microwave leftovers. It's a well-known fact that French fries are the global MVP of the food world. Yet, since their glorious inception, these golden sticks of joy have been underestimated, taken for granted, and sadly, shoved to the side of the plate like that one cousin no one wants to talk to at family gatherings. But let’s get real for a second—are they merely a sidekick in the culinary saga, or are they the true heroes that elevate a meal from “meh” to “where have you been all my life?” We consume them repeatedly, time after time, like they’re the last lifeboat on the Titanic, yet we often don't stop to appreciate the classic. I mean, when was the last time you took a moment to notice the texture, flavor, and essence of that crispy creation? Let's set the record straight: fries are NOT just a side, NOT merely an enhancer, and certainly NOT something to be ignored. In this blog, we will explore which fries truly stand out, resolve the debate over who makes the best French fries, and give the respect and spotlight this marvelous creation deserves each and every meal.

Wendy's launched the Baconator in 2007. Since then, it has been established as the guiltier version of their flagship next to the Dave's burger line up. So when we saw the Baconator version of Wendy's fries, we had to review it. Now, the original fries weren't too stellar, but as we all know, there's nothing cheese and bacon can't fix right? The Baconator in its manifestation as a burger makes complete sense. Texture (1/10) So you take the soggy, deflated and floppy fries and dump a whole bunch of melted cheese on top of it. Well we can confidently tell you that it doesn't work from a texture perspective. The fries are so drenched you cannot even lift them up without them ripping. This isn't your crisp stick with a delightful cheese dip. This is just a mess. Once in a while, the crisp bacon reminds you that there could be hope. But the bacon isn't sprinkled uniformly enough. This is the worst texture of any fries we have ever reviewed. The texture is borderline gross and inedible. Flavor (4/10) Quite surprisingly, the cheese and bacon did not improve the fries. Rather, it made the fries even saltier and recall that the base fries was already pushing the limits in terms of saltiness. The cheese itself felt like the cheapest artificial kind. It substantially downgrades the original version. Shape (3/10) The shape score also takes a hit. The deflated fries barely hold their shapes in the container. And the moment anything is picked up, it literally falls apart. You desperately try to dig an intact one from the bottom of the pile but even for those, you dare not dip into the cheese lest losing its shape. Presentation (3/10) Imagine you have a bucket of wilted potato sticks drenched in sticky liquid. This is exactly what the Baconator fries were. The cheese wasn't spread evenly and was clear that whoever dumped the liquid weren't really aiming for the center. On top of this, the comparatively large bacon pieces were just thrown on top. Wendy's really did not put much effort here. We really liked Wendy's original carton. The Baconator version however is far from it. Experience (2/10) Charging extra for something that makes the original fries materially worse simply destroys the experience. At $7.60 for the large portion, this is almost an embarrassment to the promise of the Wendy's brand. Whether greeted by a cheerful girl with pigtails or not, this creation sounds good in concept but delivers a miserable experience in practice. Texture 1 Flavor 4 Shape 3 Presentation 3 Experience 2 Overall 3.6 / 10 Conclusion Wendy's Baconator fries is absolutely one of the worst fries we have ever reviewed. It ruins many things that make fries great while adding significantly to the cost (and hence a higher price). After this review, we have vowed to never eat the Baconator fries ever again. Wendy's, if you are reading this, please consider removing it from your menu or go back to the drawing board on how to combine fries, cheese and bacon.

Are you a french fry fanatic looking to up your homemade fry game? Look no further! Today, we are diving deep into the art of making the perfect french fry right in your own kitchen. Let's turn those spuds into golden perfection! First things first, choosing the right potato is crucial. Opt for a high-starch variety like Russet potatoes for that fluffy interior and crispy exterior that we all love in a great fry. Make sure to wash and peel the potatoes before cutting them into even strips. A uniform size is key to ensure even cooking. Once you have your potato strips ready, it's time to double fry. This technique is a game-changer in achieving that crispy outside and fluffy inside. The first fry at a lower temperature cooks the inside of the fry, while the second fry at a higher temperature creates that satisfying crunch. When it comes to frying, using the right oil is essential. Peanut oil or sunflower oil are great options due to their high smoke points, which means they can be heated to the temperatures needed for frying without burning. For seasoning, the possibilities are endless. Keep it simple with just salt, or get creative with a blend of herbs and spices like garlic powder, paprika, or even truffle salt for a gourmet touch. Toss the fries in the seasoning while they're still hot to ensure maximum flavor. And there you have it - the ultimate guide to perfecting homemade french fries! Whether you enjoy them as a side dish or a tasty snack, mastering the art of making french fries at home is sure to impress your taste buds and anyone lucky enough to try them. So, grab those potatoes, heat up that oil, and get ready to indulge in some crispy, golden perfection. Happy frying!
