‘Merica food: French fries
What better way to celebrate the 4th of July than by celebrating the cuisine that makes us America! First up: French fries.
It’s weird how French fries, which are such a part of the daily American eating routine,1 are named for another country. And while we may not even have the best french fries in the world (poutine!), can you imagine a classically American meal without them?
To help you celebrate our independence from the land of fish and chips–and bring forth your hungry inner American–here are a couple of local places to pick up some of, what we think are, the best French fries in town:
If we’ve missed your favorite spot to pick up fried spuds, let us know in the comments below.

On the Rox.
Patrick Henry’s Pub!
Fries! So simple, so amazing when done right. Agreed with Mark – Patrick Henry is awesome the bomb!
Commercial Tap House and Caliente are darn good, too.
Bojangles fries with their special seasoning are by far the best fries in town.
New York Deli for the win.
I’m going to agree – New York Deli, hands down!
Everybody knows the best fries are at McDonalds!
I’d have to say Toast should also be on the list. Their homemade ketchup is like no other.
Basilis!
The lime tinted ones from Basili’s in Carytown are amazing and I think the shoe string at Scooby’s on northside have the perfect crisp as well!
On the ROX, in duck fat with herbs . Perfect Fries.
HERE!!!
Strange Matter — especially with the basil vayo.
Totes agree with cap ale, also, add on the rox and weezies
On the ROX
On the Rox, hands down, should be on that list.
