Best fast food fries/Red Robin Burger?
« on: November 15, 2008, 08:56:13 PM »
... inspired by another thread.  :-)

What are the best french fries from a fast food place?

My vote has to go to Steak n' Shake for sure. Red Robin is pretty damn good french fry wise but I don't know if they are national or not.

FWIW- there are too many places for a poll. Just give a shout out to your favs...  :-)

I recently discovered Red Robin.  I agree, their fries are really good.

My family and I like the fries at the 5 Guys Burgers and Fries joint just around the corner from our house.

I noticed, while back in Atlanta not too long ago, that a Red Robin had opened up recently.  I'll have to go there when I'm back home for New Years.  :)

My vote has to go to Steak n' Shake for sure.

Steak 'n Shake has the absolutely, nastiest, rottenest french fries I have ever eaten.   I worked at a place in NC that served the same bunch of hard-as-a-rock, crunchy-assed, stale fries.  They switched them to regular, people-food french fries and their sales doubled within a month.  People were so happy not to have to eat those crappy, nasty things that they were ordering the fries by themselves.  Just a plate of your new fabulous, wonderfully tasty french fries, please.  Yes.  Thank you.

Bojangles gets my vote, if you can find one (go to North Carolina).  They use Lawry's seasoning salt on them.  Mmmm, arteriosclerosis. 

I'll give you a Hi-5 just for admitting you like them.  They do make the best milkshakes.  :-)

Wendy's is third or fourth on my list of tasty fries, as long as you don't go there around 1am when they're serving leftovers from midnight.  :(

Yes, you definitely need to try it.  ;)  I need to get my butt back up to Atlanta soon, but not for another month. :(

I clearly have more fries to try.  :rotf:

In defense of Steak n' Shake, they have fries you have to eat with a fork. And fwiw- dipping those fries in a chocolate shake is even better than ketchup.

mmmm chocolate shake fries.  :-)


Red Robin french fries are always hot and they are also, unending. You can order them early and often for no extra dough. $$$ Yeah fries!!

I vote for our local DQ.  They are so good I sometimes order fries only.

Of course, individual DQs are always a gamble.  Some are great and some are pitiful.

I have no idea what you're talking about.  And I'm tempted to move your thread.


Backyard Burger's bacon cheeseburger is the best.

Not really.  Red Robin has never been in my area, and whenever I travel there are always too many other opportunities to consider.  

My home away from home (Shreveport) does seem to have them but I have never seen one there.

Blue Ribbon Burger is good.

But three out of five trips I get the crispy chicken burger. (yeah it's not a "burger")

Red Robin has the goods. It's family friendly and also has the full bar so timming is everything.


Good shakes there too. Real shakes made with real ice cream.  :bow:

I've never tried that.

The closes fast food place to me is Burger Sling.  Their Whoppers are barely tolerable, but I get them with extra mayo so I can dip my fries in it.

You are a stranger in a strange land.  There are no Round Robins around here.

Would you be interested in a Checker's, maybe?
