French fries are an iconic side dish at pretty much any restaurant whether it’s a fancy restaurant or not. But which fast food restaurant has the best French fries based on 3 categories? The saltiness of the fry, the texture of the fry, and the crunchiness of the fry all come together to determine who has the best fry. Here’s the top five ranking…
5) Canes Crinkle Cut Fries
Fans of crinkle-cut fries tend to enjoy Canes fries. Canes fries are salty, and paired with the Canes sauce, make for a
fantastic bite. However, the sauce is truly what makes the fry good. They tend to be slightly soggy and floppy. They aren’t crunchy enough and it almost feels like you’re eating a potato rather than a French fry.
4) McDonalds
McDonalds fries are a classic but tend to be hit and miss. They’re a thin fry which makes them a better side dish. When their served fresh they are crispy, but they still have that potato texture. McDonalds fries are salty enough to cure a headache. As long as their fries are served decently fresh, they make the perfect addition to a Big Mac.
3) Wendy’s
Wendy’s fries take the number 3 spot just narrowly beating McDonalds fries. Their natural-cut fries are consistently served fresh and warm. They are seasoned perfectly creating the perfect salty potato flavor. The soft interior paired with the crispy exterior paired with the “condiment” of a chocolate frosty works perfectly. Wendy’s fries aren’t to think and aren’t too thin essentially forming the perfect fry.
2) Chick-Fila
Chick Fil-A switches it up and takes a less traditional riskier route with their signature waffle fries but they quickly became part of why Chick Fil-A’s so iconic. Anyone who’s had Chick Fil-A’s fries knows their pretty good, they have a soft interior with a crispy exterior. They’re not too salty like McDonalds but still have enough salt to add some flavor. Chick Fila fries don’t rely on the sauce and can stand perfectly on their own.
1) Arby’s
Narrowly winning the field of the 5 best is Arby’s. Another fry that has a unique trait. Arby’s curly fries are iconic and are the most unique. They are perfectly seasoned with a seasoning blend. They remain crispy even if you get a slightly soggy batch. Truly the Arby’s fries are just fun to eat and finding a perfect spiral can turn your whole day around.
