Chain Restaurant French Fries, Ranked

Crispy, hot and tasty, DQ’s fries are a delicious addition to any order, but let’s be real here, folks. If we are headed to Dairy Queen for an order of French fries, you better believe we are totally ordering a blizzard too.

Carl’s Jr.’s French fries are naturally cut, premium quality, skin-on fries. What more could you want in a French fry?

If you find yourself out on the West Coast, taking a visit to In-N-Out is almost like a rite of passage. While you are eating one of their epic burgers, place an order for their fresh, hand-cut potatoes prepared in 100% sunflower oil.

Five Guys’s French fries are handcrafted from fresh-cut potatoes cooked in pure, no-cholesterol, 100% peanut oil. These boardwalk-style fries are cooked twice so they are firm on the outside with soft mashed potatoes on the inside. Choose Five Guys Style or Cajun, which is the same as the original Five Guys Style only with a heavy-handed shake of savory and spicy Cajun herbs and seasonings.

Burger King’s classic French fries have a crunchy exterior texture, which means these little golden sticks of deliciousness can withstand multiple dunks in your favorite delicious dipping sauce.

Zaxby’s crinkle-cut fries are a perfect option for those who like a longer, thicker-cut French fry with some shape. Crispy and seasoned with Zaxby’s signature blend of irresistible seasonings, these French fries are nice and hardy. Plus, the crinkle ridges conveniently hold all of your favorite condiments like ketchup and mustard.

Jack in the Box offers two types of fries: regular and curly. The regular fries are fine, but why order regular when you can enjoy a seasoned curly fry? Are we right or are we right? Just like Zaxby’s crinkle ridges, the curly shape of Jack in the Box’s seasoned curly fries is the perfect vehicle for additional condiments. Not that you may need them because their original blend of seasonings is totally mouthwatering and full of flavor all on its own.

Gone are the days when KFC only offered thick, seasoned potato wedges. Now, their menu includes their Secret Recipe Fries. Fried to crispy perfection, these French fries, just like their chicken, are seasoned with a secret blend of herbs and spices.

If you are looking for another kind of classic crinkle-cut French fry, roll up to your local Shake Shack. Crispy and cut from golden potatoes, place an order for plain Crinkle-Cut fries. Or if you are craving something ooey and gooey, try a stack of their Cheese Fries. Feeling like a triple threat of flavor? How about an order of their Bacon Cheese Fries covered in a thick layer of cheese sauce and topped with Niman Ranch applewood-smoked bacon.

Another chain restaurant that offers not just one type of French fry, but two, Arby’s curly fries are a beloved fan favorite. Besides their basic crinkle-cut fries, Arby’s also offers curly seasoned fries. If you cannot make it out to an Arby’s location near you, then luckily for you you can also purchase packages of their seasoned curly fries in your grocer’s frozen food aisle so you can cook them from the friendly confines of your own home. Bon appétit!

Would you like fries or nachos? Why choose one when you can have both? That is right. Taco Bell offers an epic recipe mash-up with their Nacho Fries. Boldly seasoned and served with nacho cheese dipping sauce, these crispy fries are not an item you would expect on a menu at a taco restaurant, but we are sure glad they are.

Clearly we cannot get enough seasoned fries and neither can consumers. Checker’s/Rally’s famous seasoned fries are secretly seasoned making them famously good. Completely crave-worthy, these fries are crispy and crunchy with a pinch of pepper for an added kick of spice. For those wanting even more flavor, these famous French fries can be ordered topped with bacon, cheese, chili, and/or ranch dressing. Just like Arby’s fries, you can also find these one-of-a-kind fries in your grocer’s freezer aisle.
