The official fast food French fry power rankings

---

One man's opinion on the best (and worst) fast food French fries.

Spoiler:

Looks about right to me.

[Vinsk]

Pretty good line up. I agree with just about all in that order. Definitely love Five Guys fries.

[GolfLug]

McDonald's above Arby's..😐? Nope. 

Their cheesy fries are at the top of food chain. Easily. They will roam the earth long after mankind is gone.

Pretty good ratings.

i’d personally put McDonald’s over five guys, and I’d move shake shake up a bit on taste.  but that’s nit picking.

I’ve always been amazed at how lousy In’n’Out fries are, especially compared to their burgers, which I love.

[iacas]

I take any of those top four as being equal, just depending on where you rate texture/taste.

I was never a big fan of McDonald's fries. I would claim Five Guy's fries as more superior than McDonalds.

I would have to say, Five Guys, although it is often concerning seeing the bag soaked in grease LOL. But where is the Zaxby's love?

I really miss the older recipe of fries that Booger King used to have, like 10+ years ago

KFC's potato wedges aren't fries and they're damn delicious.

Mc D’s Is fine but I’ll take In n Out any day. Folks just aren’t used to real fresh fresh fries

Malcolm Gladwell did a podcast a couple years ago about “McDonald’s broke my heart” when they changed their French fry preparation years ago.

I think they were formed from a ground up potato and seasoning mixture, they def weren't just cut potatoes

Five Guys is hard to beat.  Central park is pretty good.

Steak and Shake for ne.

They taste good, but are way too greasy, to the point of sogginess.  I’ve always said that McDonald’s is the gold standard in fries. Looks like I’m not the only one…
