They're definitely some of the best. Wendy's fries used to be pretty good, but the past 5 years or so they suck so much ass now. Burger King's fries have gotten really good lately though. I can also always go for Checkers/Rallys fries as well.
Yep. They are like the worst.

Uuuuuuuuuuyugghhhhh no.
Nandos peri fries.
TGI bacon and cheese fries.
Turtle Bay cheesy jerk fries.
A million other things.
Are 100000% better. Burger Kings king fries even kill them.
This is factual.

I always order them with extra salt. The saltier the better.

They were 5 years old when this photos was taken. No signs of mold!
Even flies and other bugs wont eat them.
There's no mold for the same reason beef jerky would do the same. All the moisture left the patty and mold can't grow without moisture. If you stored it in a plastic bag from purchase, it would be molded and gross as you'd expect

I try to avoid fries when I get fast food, but the chikfila waffle ones are hard to pass up.

They're definitely the best among the main fast food franchises, as long as they remember to salt them.

McDonald's fries are godly. The best thing on the menu, IMO.

Oh shit. oh shit.
I'm in a dilemma now. Do I tell my vegetarian best friend who is in love with their fries this? Knowing if I did it would break her heart.

I prefer the larger style steak fries. The crisscut fries from Carl's Jr. and Chik-Fil-A are great too.
Basically I prefer fries that contains more actual potato because I'm a big potato fan. McDonald's fries are basically hollowed out oil sticks.

Cajun fries are best fries.

They're great if you like old jizz oil
Yup. Rally/Checker's has the best fries, no doubt.

McD's, Rallys, Popeyes, Chik Fil A, Culver's - all great fries.
BK's are fucking sad.

If I'm putting something creamy on my fries other than cheese sauce, it's ranch, not mayo.

Chic-Fil-A for me. Yes there are some that are bit more addicting like Bojangles or Checkers because they drown the fries in seasoning but these taste good and don't make me feel like I'm going to clog an artery after eating them.

Five Guys Cajun and Burger King are miles better.
Love McDonalds fries. I don't eat at McDonalds often, maybe only once or twice a year, but when I do I always have to get tons of fries. Love them. Was so disappointed when they got rid of the Super Size.
They fry in vegetable oils currently. They use some-sort of beef flavoring, to add flavor though.
I personally wish they would switch back to the original recipe and fry in beef fat or beef tallow again. Would add that sort of flavor naturally from the frying. The vegans/vegetarians already don't eat the fries because of the flavoring, so no loss there. And nobody expects McDonald's fries to be a health food, so I think McDonald's should just go full out.
They switched in 1990 I think. So I don't really remember the taste of the beef fat fried fries.
At the time I would guess they were more concerned with reducing saturated fat, rather than adding trans fat. So yeah, I wish they would go back to using the beef fat.

Good McD fries are great. But it's weird how there's such a big disparity between different places. For example my local McD makes amazing fries. But I was just in Singapore not long ago and ate in two different McD's and the fries tasted like shit. Totally different texture and taste. You'd think they made them with the same recipe or something.

when it's hot and and fresh its the best. is there a way to properly reheat them? but then rarely do i have leftover mcd fries since it's so good.
I still dig them but in recent years something changed and they got a bit worse. Even since Wendy's switch to their current fresh cut sea salted fries, they rule the fast food fry market.
I also really dig Backyard Burger's garlic parmesan fries but sometimes they can be way too salty.

Don't hate on potato wedges. Those things are great well-cooked and with just the right toughness.
this offends me
