I’ve never gotten the hype with five guys fries.
They definitely give you a lot and I’ll eat them, but they just never taste great to me. Like I won’t go out of my way to eat them all, which is unusual for fries

They're not even crispy! What kind of psychos intentionally make non-crispy fries?!

I love the battered fries, Popeyes and Rallys are the only places I can think of that serve those.

I forgot about rally’s. I should’ve put that in there instead of maybe Popeyes.

Arby's curly fries are overhyped to hell. 90% of the time, they're just soggy potato tubes

If those potato cakes count at Arby's, they deserve consideration.
I hardly do fast food anymore. But the answer is Rally's/Checkers.
That is the main reason they got popular in the first place.

Curly Fries are its own category and will take those any day over plain fries. In and Out only ordered extra crispy. McDonald’s for regular without having to modify them.

I can't believe a single person voted for those limp, greasy, inedible 5 Guys fries. I would not feed those to my dog

Wendys breakfast wedges are the best fast food fry.
(Arbys is #1 but I consider them separately since they're different)

McD's fries haven't been good since they stopped using the beef fat or whatever.

The claims that seed oils are bad for you have been debunked and are actually beneficial since they have unsaturated fats while beef tallow is high in saturated fat and should be consumed in moderation. So I think it’s good that they replaced the tallow with vegetable oils and beef flavoring.

Five Guys isn't fast food and isn't a fair comparison. Should have Checkers/Rallys, KFC, Sonic, Wingstop, etc.

If you don't know about popeyes fries... do yourself a favor. Also order extra ranch

Checkers/Rallys should be on this list
