They ARE cut daily, but a fresh cut potato wouldn't fry well. It needs a water soak to remove some of the starch. Every Five Guys I've ever been to has their cut potatoes hanging out in a bucket of ice water. |

I know it's not a popular opinion, but I really like Steak & Shake's shoestring fries. Smashburger's are very similar.
McDonald's fries are just about the only thing there I enjoy. Wendy's were good until they went the "natural" route a few years ago. Arby's curly fries are pretty great. Five Guys are excellent if you order them "well done." |

Insider tip: If you want fresh fries at any restaurant, ask for them without salt. They have to cook them separately and then you just add your own salt at the table!

Or you could just ask for fresh fries and not make them go through the hassle of cleaning the fry station. |

Honestly I have not been an insider for a couple of decades now. My concern with simply asking for fresh fries (especially if you are going through the drive-thru) is that I am not sure I would trust them to honor that. Going saltless you know that they will be fresh.

When all fries are fresh, McDonald's is the winner. They have mastered the shoestring fry in size, texture, flavor and consistency. No other chain can meet all 4 criteria like McDonald's.

Nathan's Famous Hot Dogs (best hot dogs too by the way) also has the best fries anywhere and it's not even close.
What's more. You can have regular fries but you can also get it so many other delicious ways. Hopefully the attachment works so you see for yourself... Bonus is using that mini red pitch fork. Perfect. |

Crinkle cut fries are great. Have to be extra crispy for me though. A soggy crinkle cut is one of the worst.

I order without salt ALL THE TIME (not for fresh, but because I actually don't want the salt), and I have never once seen any store ever clean the fry station.

Five Guys cajon fries have good flavor but are too soggy to be the best.
Chik fil-a waffle fries, Arby's curly fries and Checkers seasoned fries are all pretty good. My fav are from a place called Pizza Bolis. Not sure if that's just a local chain in northern virginia or what but damn those fries are good. Super crispy and seasoned perfectly. Their steak and cheese is tits too. |
