Personally I like chick fil-a fries the best.

Waffle fries are too good.

 

If we are just going with normal fries, I'd have to say McDonalds wins for sure. (Wendy's is a close second)

There is an "other" option. 5 Guys is pretty good. I don't like the flavored ones though.

Yeah they only let you have ten choices, so Chick-fil-A didn't make the cut because I figured they're less of a "fry-heavy" menu.  But those waffle fries ARE good!

 

I didn't even think of Five Guys.  I didn't realize they were that big a chain.  I thought there were just a few.  We only just got one around here recently (also a Sonic).  A lot of my friends rave over Five Guys, but I find them way too greasy.  The last two times I've eaten there I've gotten sick.

 

In 'N' Out is too regional, which is why I didn't include them.  As far as I know they only serve California, Arizona, Nevada, and Utah.

 

For reasons that have never been clear to me, a lot of the national chains have little or no presence in New England.  We have McDonald's, Burger King, and Wendy's, of course.  But there are no Arby's, Hardee's, White Castle, Carl's Junior, or Jack in the Box anywhere around here.  There is one Sonic (recent) and one Long John Silver's, but I've never been to the latter because 1) I hate fish, and 2) it's in a shithole.  We also have damn few Little Caesar's and Papa John's, hardly any really.  Instead we have local chains, like Papa Gino's.  And, of course, being New England, every town has an independent pizza/sub shop inevitably called the "[name of town] House of Pizza."

Didn't know KFC had fries? I know they have potato wedges (that is what I am assuming you meant by their fries) which are pretty good. My vote would be other: Popeyes. Their fries are good and have a bit of kick to them and their rolls are amazing.

Yeah I wasn't sure about KFC, but they're the second-biggest fast-food chain, so I felt kind of compelled to include them.

 

We don't have Popeye's around here either!

It would be funny if New York Fries turned out to be a Canadian chain, given their name. B-)

 

They mostly just make fries (uh, and hot dogs, I think that's it). They're sooo good.

About New York Fries:  New York Fries is a privately owned, Canadian franchise founded by Jay Gould, president, and his brother Hal. Born in London, Ontario and raised in Brantford, the entrepreneurial brothers had partnered together to create the popular Cultures chain.

 

In 1983, while on a trip to New York City, the Gould's stopped into the South Street Seaport to search out "the best french fries" which they had learned of in a New York Times restaurant review. What they found was nothing short of amazing. Fresh, hot french Fries flying across the counter being received by a line up of anxious customers. These were no ordinary french fries. No mashed up re-constituted french fry wannabe's – New York Fries were fresh cut, made from real potatoes and served in generous portions, hot and crisp.

 

There are no locations in the United States.  Heh.

You poor soul. Granted... the closest one to me is 45 minutes away in Cleveland but still is worth the trip. Sonic's tots are amazing as we'll but again same thing. Sucks being stuck in the middle of nowhere NE Ohio...

See, now I find Sonic's tots to be no better than the Ore-Ida Tater Tots that you can buy at the grocery store.  In fact Sonic in general I find to be kind of overrated.

Oh it's the same guys who did Cultures? That makes sense. Cultures makes pretty good food too. (They're a restaurant chain. NYF is mostly in food courts in malls.)

 

Anyway if you're in Canada sometime try NYF. It's great. B-)
