While, TBH, I celebrate every day like it's National French Fry Day (a basket with ranch and ketchup and a crispy DC on the side), today actually is National French Fry Day. So, we've gotta really send it.
Whether you're a curly fry stan, live and die for a crinkle-cut, or loveee waffle fries, I think we can all agree on one thing: The best fries are...free fries. Some of our fave fast food chains and restaurants are serving up just that in honor of the starchy side's national holiday.
Arby's
Good news, Arby’s Rewards Members: If you buy a cheesesteak online, you’ll get a free order of any size fry on your next visit. The deal is valid through August 10.
Burger King
Royal Perks members can score free fries when they spend just $1 or more. But if you'd rather get a little protein, DashPass members can score BOGO Chicken Fries when they order on the delivery app.
Whataburger
Order up Whataburger before 8 p.m. tonight, and you'll get a medium fry for just 75 cents. Not too shabby. Just FYI, the deal is only valid for digital orders, but that's just the perfect excuse to be lazy and order in.
McDonald's
It's not National French Fry Day without McDonald's. C'mon. Customers will get free fries (with orders of $1 or more in the app) on Friday and free fries again on Saturday through the Micky D's app (without a purchase minimum!)
Carl's Jr.
Carl’s Jr. isn’t skimping. The chain is offering rewards members a free large order of classic fries or waffle fries with any purchase. Oh, and you can score the deal whether you order via the app, website, or order directly in the restaurant at participating locations.
Jack in the Box
Order literally anything and you'll get free fries at Jack in the Box today.
Sonic
Sonic has options! You can get a free medium fry or tots with your purchase.
Wendy's
Customers can grab free any-size Hot & Crispy Fries from Wendy's right now with any purchase through the fast food chain's app. The deal gets better because it's actually not ending. Sorta, at least. Through the end of the year, you can get free fries every Friday—or shall I say Fryday (sorry).
