Ronald McDonald is gonna be salty about this list.

In a new nationwide ranking from Seating Masters, based on over 40,000 Yelp reviews, one burger chain’s golden spuds are un-fry-gettable, according to WWLP.

In-N-Out Burger topped the list — scoring a crispy 3.86 out of 5 average across 25 locations.

When I was a teenager 50 years ago I was a dishwasher at Howard Johnsons. My work stationed backed up to the grill area. The cooks would put fries up there and I’d eat them all shift. Best damn fries ever!

Fortunately the 2x Five Guys near closed down.

Wouldn’t that be “10 Guys”?

If you hate vinegar on fries , you would be horrified to know the Dutch put mayonaisse on fries.

___Vinegar on French fries like the Brits do?___

Yuk....In pulp fiction, Travolta’s character, I think Vincent was his name....said they put mayonaise on their fries. The other guy, Samuel Jackson just went....”yuk” . Then they went and killed 4 guys.

One of those are worth a sheeit. Chick filet? The pea flour dusted fried in week old corn oil? Served pale and lukewarm? In and out? Another coated monstrosity served pale and lukewarm. And on it goes.

Children and anyone that’s part of the chicken nugget set had no idea what a good fry is. These are the same people who rave over “boneless” wings and numerous dipping sauces.

Try a Qurkee uncoated ripple cut deep fried to a golden crisp in tallow served salted and scorching hot. Then you will see how pathetic almost all fries are today.

Never heard of it but will take your word. Like Del Taco in California. Fast food burritos tacos which are ok...but great fries. A little like 5 guys. Come to think of it.....Braum’s here in Texas has great fries.

I like fries sprinkled with Malt Vinegar. They used to be a big treat at Ocean City, MD; probably still are.

In-N-Out and Five Guys both fresh cut their potatoes in the restaurant using a fry cutter before immediately frying them in oil. All of the other fast-food restaurants use pre-cut frozen fries.

It won’t get mentions because its very regional, but I love the fries at Biscuitville. The biscuits are also excellent. Sad this restaurant closes at 2pm daily or I’d eat there more often.

The only store listed that's in my area is Arby's.

My favorite fries are at Wendy's
