If the fries from wingstop weren't such a soggy mess they would be up in the rankings due to them using Cajun seasoning, but I avoid them and go for the veggies.

Fast Food French Fries ranked from worst to best (Chowhound)

This list's order is a bit ridiculous to me, but food is generally subjective so I'm glad they found something they enjoy.
Also, they rigged the list by not including Wendy's breakfast potatoes, which are the best potato product in fast food.

Mmm, interesting.
I'm up in Canada so I can only speak to the province of BC, and they seem consistent between mainland and vancouver island at least.
McDonald's fries are not that good idk what yall smoking. I could make better fries at home in my air fryer.
Haven't had them in a million years but there was a time I would get McDonald's nuggets but then hit Arby's for their curly fries - they were right next to each other. I don't have a problem with McDs fries really but to me Arby's was the superior choice.
Most of the major burger joint fast food chains in the country over Five Guys fries... with McDonalds at the top? List isn't wrong, it's completely invalid. What on Earth?
I like bojangles fries way more than mcdonalds but I agree that they are probably a close second. 5 guys fries are overrated trash and so are arby curly fries. Rally/Checker fries are good too.
Fine with McD's at one. I like Dairy Queen so I'd rank them higher, maybe they're better in Canada? Also a fan of Church's Chicken which isn't on this list.
I've always hated fries with skin on them so I used to like Wendy's, KFC, and A&W as well but once they switched to skin on I haven't really been. KFC in Japan was though.

mcdonalds fries is one of those rare things like coca cola where im like nah everyone is right actually this shit is the best
that being said i havent had them for like years at this point due to their fries containing dairy or whatever the fuck so i could be wrong

Pretends to be shocked at number 1, those fries are average at best, I love Checkers fries here in NJ..
This is the same for me lol
It's never is just: "Are these fries good" it's always: "Are these fries as good as the ones from McDonalds?"
That's the correct #1. In n Out is too high. Kind of weird that Whataburger fries are not listed. They are my 3rd favorite after Taco Bell
came here to post this.i wonder if wingstop counts as i love their fries as well. jack in the box curly fries are better than a good chunk of the list there too.
I haven't eaten them in 10 years, but hot McDonalds fries were like crack to me. My favourite fries by such a large margin that second place may as well be 20th place.
I stopped eating them because they're like edible plastic or something. Mold doesn't grow on them, and they won't decompose. I don't need that shit in my body, no matter how good they taste.

Five Guys shouldn't be on the list… worst fucking fries I ever had. In n out shouldn't be on there either though.
This and Whattaburgers needs to be on the list. Captain D's used to have some good fries as well.
I didn't think any version of fries can be worse than In-N-Out's. I'll need to check them out.
Agreed with #1. McDonalds fries can't be beat.
I think Popeyes fries are too low. The Cajun Fries make up for the inconsistent texture. The only people who wouldn't like them are fans of the hard kind.

Back when I was a kid, my family stumbled into the life hack where you order fries without salt from McDonald's. You have to wait for a new batch, but they're super fresh out of the fryer. Tbh if you just want that, don't order no salt, just ask to wait for fries from a new batch. But we legitimately felt McD's over-salted the fries so our request came in good faith.
As much as I hate to admit it, they are right to put McDonald's number one, but I would add the caveat that it's only when they are fresh and hot. Those things turn to cardboard the moment they sit out for a minute. And for some reason there is no way to bring them back to life even if you put them in the toaster oven. It's like some kind of dark magic.
Meanwhile, there are plenty of other places where their fries are still tasty cold or they can be heated up in the oven or toaster oven.

They are going to die on the hill of no freezers ever, and it's not hurting sales to continue making their fries this way.
I mean, they still don't support online ordering or food delivery services. They're very set in their ways, but it works for them I guess.
Never got what people like about McDonalds fries, certainly not to have them always top these lists.
I like McDo's fries.
In-N-Out's fries gets a bad rap but try ordering them well done, they're not bad. That said I haven't been to In-N-Out for a couple years now though I live near a few nearby but the lines/crowds for each of them are ridiculous.
Most of the fries I have nowadays are at local sit-down restaurants or dive bars ordered well done.
