The Absolute Best French Fries In Every US State

The origin story of the French fry and its rise to All-American side dish ubiquity is winding and complex. What makes a French fry good or even great, however, is straightforward. 

We want our fries golden-brown, with a crisp exterior and soft, fluffy insides — and we want salt, as well as something to dip them in. Those standards are immutable no matter where you are in the U.S. The good news is that restaurants, both upscale and accessible, all over the country are meeting those standards. They're doing it in different ways in terms of both flavor and technique. 

Picking the best French fries in every state is a daunting task. We relied on local media, word of mouth, awards recognition, and personal tasting experience to make this list. We're sure that some fry connoisseurs will be disappointed their favorite didn't make the list. To that, we say, "Go out, eat a lot of fries, and make your own list." Trust us, it's a fun, tasty task. 

Alabama: The Ono Fries at Ono Poke in Birmingham

The crispy furikake Ono Fries with spicy mayo at Ono Poke are just plain good. Furikake is a Japanese seasoning blend that hits every single tastebud: there's fish flakes, seaweed, sesame seeds, and an explosion of various herbs and spices that give French fries an unexpected depth of flavor. 

With four locations in and around Birmingham, these ultra-unique fries are also super accessible. Come for the poke bowls, stay for the fries.

Arizona: The Yucca Fries at Butterfly Burger in Sedona

Don't judge this self-described "Couture Burger Lounge" by name alone. The yucca fries are amazing, and absolutely nothing about them is highfalutin.

The yucca fries at Butterfly Burger are basic in just the right way: fried to perfection with a crisp exterior while light and fluffy inside. Using yucca instead of potatoes also imparts an interestingly nutty flavor.

Arkansas: The House Parmesan Fries at Capital Bar and Grill in Little Rock

The Capital Bar and Grill often shows up on "Best of Little Rock" lists. There are plenty of delicious reasons to visit the Capital, but its House Parmesan Fries are definitely number one.

There's just enough parm sprinkled over the fries to give them a cheesy punch without turning them into cheesy fries. There's also just enough pepper sprinkled over to make the Parmesan really pop.

California: The Belgian Duck Fat Fries at Beer Baron Bar in Pleasanton

Beer Baron Bar, a small Bay Area chain of Whisky Bars, is pushing potatoes to the limit with scrumptious Belgian Duck Fat Fries. There are also some bells and whistles, like loaded and vegan versions, but the basic one is best for dipping.

There are a half dozen dipping sauces to choose from. The substantial Happy Hour crowd seems to prefer the Smoky Ketchup, but you get two included, so maybe try a less conventional choice, too, like the Herbed Yogurt.

Colorado: The Tallow Fries at C Burger in Boulder

Here's a controversial pick: the best fries in Colorado come from a just-opened burger place, brought to you from a fine-dining group. Fight me.

C Burger focuses on nose-to-tail eating,and it's cooking its potatoes in beef tallow for some seriously flavorful fries. There are currently two locations, and lucky for everyone, the Tallow Fries are available at both.

Fryborg, a food truck serving fresh, hand-cut fries, opened its brick-and-mortar location in Trumbull in 2022. Now with a permanent location, you never have to track down the best fries in Connecticut.

There's nothing fancy or different about Fryborg's fries — they're just really good fast food-style French fries. You can try making fries like that at home, or you could just hop a plane to Connecticut.

Delaware: The Route 33 Fries at Ava's in Rehoboth Beach

Ava's is a French fry place in Rehoboth Beach disguised as a pizzeria and wine bar. Its Route 33 Fries are hand-cut, and they're great plain. You can also add Parmesan, Old Bay (naturally), blue cheese, and/or truffle. 

These fries are listed under "appetizers" on Ava's menu, and they don't really pair naturally with the dishes on the distinctly Italian menu. The fries are worth a visit on their own, however.

Florida: The Homemade French Fries at Blue Collar in Miami

Blue Collar serves up Philly cheesesteaks in South Florida, but the real attraction is the fries. Since opening in its original location in 2012 (Blue Collar moved to its current spot in 2024), the Homemade French Fries at Blue Collar have scored rave reviews from the local press.

Hawaii: The Garlic Fries at 'Aiea Bowl in 'Aiea

How about your choice of shoestring or waffle fries with a generous helping of minced garlic served in a bowling alley? And on top of that, it's in paradise.

At 'Aiea Bowl, right outside of Honolulu, the amount of garlic it seasons its fries with can be a little excessive — at least at first bite. After a few waffles or shoestrings, though, you'll be asking for more.

Illinois: The Beef Dripping Chips at Hawksmoor in Chicago

Here's one for all of the anglophiles in Chicagoland. The Hawksmoor is a London steakhouse in Chicago that serves "chips" cooked in beef tallow. 

Fries cooked in tallow — like the ones at Hawksmoor — don't just absorb its beefy flavor. The high smoking point of tallow allows the potatoes to cook through without picking up any acrid, smokey-in-a-bad-way unpleasantness. The Hawksmoor also operates another U.S. location in New York.

At The Burger Stand, they don't bother with beef tallow or even peanut oil: they fry their potatoes in regular canola oil. With a fairly low smoking point, it takes a steady hand and impeccable timing to pull them out at just the right moment. The folks at The Burger Stand are masters of that moment.

Louisiana's best fries come from a Soul Food/pie place. With hand-cut fries and a classic cooking method, Elsie's might have to change its name to Elsie's Pies and Fries.

The standard fries at the Foreside Tavern are golden, crunchy, and terrific. The sweet potato fries, though, are something special. 

Sweet potato fries can be tricky to master: with less starch than spuds, it's harder to get that craveable, crispy texture. The folks at Foreside have figured out the formula, and Mainers are flocking to their fries.

Maryland: The French Fries at Thrasher's in Ocean City

All Thrasher's does is fries. With three locations on the beach in Ocean City, it's obviously doing them right.

Thrasher's has been dishing up fries beachside since 1929, and that experience is evident. The fries are delightful, with a stereotypical golden-brown look and exceptional freshness and flavor. There's no ketchup allowed, however, so try a little apple cider vinegar instead.

The fries at Nightingale come with a decidedly upscale malt vinegar aioli. They're also a little bigger and heartier than fast food fries, making them perfect for dipping. These fries pair great with one of Nightingale's other not-too-highbrow dishes, the ginger-sesame chicken wings.

Frying with tallow isn't exclusive to Bolyard's, or even the meat-loving Midwest. When the tallow comes from an in-house butcher shop, however — and it's used to fry up expertly cut potatoes — you know you're getting something special.

Methodology

Picking the best of anything anywhere is a difficult task, as well as an imperfect one, since "best" is subjective. I relied on local newspapers and media the most. However, I also considered awards recognition and peeked at customer reviews. I looked for places doing interesting things that customers liked as well.
