I personally prefer Friendly's fries.

I picked 'Dairy Queen'

Had there of been an 'other' option, I would have chosen Swiss Chalet. Their fries are not crispy like McDonalds, which I sort of like better

Definitely McDonald's, for fries... :D

Other -In n Out Burger.

east coast boy?!?!

Damn right

I chose McDonalds, but I also like In n' Out Burger's fries.

McDonald's, In-N-Out, and Jack in the Box.

Local fish and chip shops will kick all the above's asses any day of the week!

Home cooked fries come in second.

Has anyone ever been to Checkers? Now those are fries to live by. Seasoned and yummy. I love them! There's a bag of frozen ones in my deep freezer right now.  ;D (Yeah, they have a frozen variety too!)

Arby's Curly Fries..Oh wait maybe that's because I worked there for over 10 yrs.

I chose Wendy's... McDonald's fries probably are the best overall, but I find that every time I go there, they're different.  They're either overcooked, undercooked, soggy, dry... It's always different, there's no consistency.  At Wendy's, they're almost always the same, and they're delicious :)  If McDonald's fries were always crispy and crunchy, I'd have chosen them  :)

They have a Checkers over here. I have yet to stop and try it though because it's in a bad part of town. :P

In America Chick-Fil-a waffle fries *drool*  Here in the U.K my home cooked or the local chip shop.

My choices:

Boardwalk fries, a local Baltimore/DC chain. All they sell is fries, fresh cut, fresh fried and served in a big cardboard cup (like at the beach boardwalk or at a carnival).
Served with malt vinegar, rock salt and a bit of Old Bay Seasoning, yummy.
With a cold, cold beer, even yummier (sp?).

Rally's (Snapp's/Checker's) batter fried are great too, wasn't sure they could make french fries more artery clogging for you than to dip then in a heavy seasoned batter!

McDonalds, strange as I simply cannot digest the rest of their menu. The fries are still the best "overall" if you can get them when they are just right, just a few minutes after they come out of the fryer and are still hot & crispy but every so slightly soft in the center.

the local chip shop.


Is there a guy who works down there who swear's he's Elvis? :D

I like NY Fries- they still have the skin on 'em!

I totally forgot about New York Fries.  They are indeed awesome!  They are the thick and fresh cut kind that blow regular thin fries out of the deep fryer 8)

McDonalds but Wendy's is a close second... BK fries suck  8-P

Not unless Elivis was secretly Greek!

Those sorta look like In n Out Burger's fries. They cut them right in front of you and fry them up fresh, with the skin still on.

McDonalds is the best.

Burger King is the worst. Their fries never seem like they're cooked enough  8-P.

McDonald's fries are the best... if eaten within 10 minutes of them being made.

A local place, Queen Anne, has much thicker, straight-cut fries that are really good. A large order of them is almost a meal in itself, and only like $1.50.

I love waffle cut fries, but there are no places around here that serve them.

Ant

the Waffle Fries from Chick-fil-A!  are prety darn good

Personally, I like In-N-Out's fries the best.

Looks like I won't be voting in the poll, since In-N-Out was not included in the poll; neither was an "other" option.

Can I say Carlos' fries? He does make the BEST!!!!

Are you flying out? If not, we might just see you on the road. When are you guys heading that way?

We are driving. (We only fly when it can't be avoided like going to Puerto Rico.) We will probably be in CA about mid Aug. or so.

I don't eat fast food often, but I love Chic-Fil-A's french fries.

From the list I picked Burger King because I think their fries are tastier than McDonald's IMO; overall my faves are Arby's curly fries as well.

(BTW I think french fries in England are referred to as chips, ie fish and chips and they are really big and long like the picture of the New York fries earlier in the thread)

I changed my everloving mind.  The best fries in the world are OVEN FRIES

Although I picked McDonald's, I like Steak 'n' Shake's tiny fries and White Castle's crinkles more.

Chic-Fil-A's fries taste like potatoes, Mc Donalds fries taste like salt.  I'm no longer able to try any more fries

Del Taco's loaded carnitas fries.

still like Chic-Fil-A's

Burger King fries in 1997 after the recipe was changed. Too good to my taste buds!!  :D

I haven't been to a burger king or carls jr in so long. I know my dad says yuck to Carls jr

Burger King really went down the tubes somewhere in late 2000 or 2001 when they ditched the new fry recipe from 1997. That’s also around the time when you couldn’t smell your food from the bag.

I'll assume they're lousy, I've got other places to get burgers

Ironically enough, McDonald’s cheeseburgers tasted better from the 80s into the 2000s when it didn’t seem like the patties were made entirely of beef.

Why do they put salt on them and then they give you salt packets afterwards, how much salt does one need?  ::)

Most people don’t use the ionized salt packets, but there is a small minority of people who like their fast food a little saltier than it is served.  :o

Of course, that can sometimes lead to hypertension, but those people would tell you can’t taste the salt on their fries or their fries did not look to have much salt on them. There are pepper packets, also, but no one I have known has ever had to use them at a burger fast food spot.
