The 5 Best Fast Food French Fries
Chances are if you’re stopping for some fast food, you’re going to get french fries! The two go together like Batman & Robin or peanut butter & jelly. Every fast food joint has them in some way, shape or form. The cut and flavor may be different at each chain, but there’s one thing we can all agree on. Fries should be served hot and crispy. Never cold and soggy! Now the reason for this article is because over the weekend I saw this website called Study Finds ranked the five best fast food french fries. Once I saw their list (which I totally disagree with) I decided to make my own list!

5. Wendy’s
If Wendy’s fries were a baseball player, you probably wouldn’t know his name because he doesn’t hit a bunch of homers, but he doesn’t strike out ever. He not a superstar, but totally deserves to be in the league. Good and consistent.
4. McDonald’s
I going to say it and I know a lot of people won’t like it. McDonald’s fires are overrated! Now don’t get me wrong every now and then, you’ll get a perfect batch. But most of the time they’re over cooked and just super salty.
3. Checkers
Checkers are the fast food fries that everybody sleeps on. Whether you get original or the seasoned fries, they both are really good!
2. Chick-Fil-A
I feel like you either love or hate Chick-Fil-A fries. I personally love them and if they didn’t get cold so quick (that’s the only knock against them) they might have been number 1.
1. Five Guys
Hands down, Five Guys has the best fast food fries out there and you can’t change my mind! Fresh cut, nothing processed about these bad boys. Number 1 fry in the game!
