00:00When you steal a fry from your friend, they can say, hey, I paid for those.
00:04Welcome to WatchMojo.
00:05And today we're counting down our picks for the tastiest, most delicious French fries you can get at fast food restaurants.
00:11They're really good.
00:12I just sit here and keep eating them.
00:14Number 10, Popeyes.
00:15You may love that chicken from Popeyes, but their fries are also a meal of their own.
00:19We got two Popeyes fries sizes, a regular and a large.
00:23The regular, as we have here, just came with the side of the three piece we got here.
00:27And, of course, a large, which is a box of just fries.
00:32As a New Orleans-based business, Popeyes serves Cajun cuisine at fast food prices, such as Cajun rice, macaroni and cheese, seafood, and more.
00:40The fries here, however, are really something special and are definitely underrated.
00:45I'm taking it there.
00:46Popeyes flavor came through strong.
00:48Large, flavored with bold spices and pleasantly crunchy, they are a requisite for spice lovers and all things Cajun.
00:55They go well with Popeyes' signature dipping sauce or any of their ranch and mustard sauces.
01:00For anyone tired of the same old salt seasoning, you won't go wrong with these fries at Popeyes.
01:05But they have the perfect real texture and consistency to them.
01:08Number 9, Raising Canes.
01:10These taters will be Raising Cane with your taste buds.
01:12Doesn't exactly need to brag now, does it?
01:15Same for the crinkle-cut fries.
01:17Center cut from the longest potatoes Idaho has to offer and added to every meal.
01:21Although Raising Cane's specializes in chicken fingers, munching on their fries is more than satisfying.
01:27While crinkle-cut fries can end up disappointingly soft, these are beautifully crispy and golden.
01:32Although they can be enjoyed alone, they're even more delicious dipped in the restaurant's proprietary dipping sauce.
01:38We haven't even gotten to the whole coleslaw-crinkle-fried conundrum of deliciousness.
01:43Even better, Raising Cane's fries are complimentary, which means regardless of whatever combo you order, you are sure to receive a basket for your meal.
01:52Now that's what we call a good deal.
01:54At Raising Cane's, we do one thing.
01:57And we do it better than anyone else.
02:00So why not let our food do the talking?
02:02Number 8, Shake Shack.
02:03Speaking of crinkle-cut fries, these are also very good.
02:07Business insider tasted french fries from 8 major fast food chains and decided Shake Shack's crinkle-cut fries were the best.
02:15Shake Shack has come a long way from their humble origins as a hot dog cart in New York City.
02:20One underrated aspect of their menu, however, has to be their fries.
02:24Easy to dip and served in an open box instead of a bag, their fries are perfectly salted and have just the right texture.
02:31Not too soggy or too crunchy.
02:33Shake Shack saved the day.
02:35We sympathize for his free fries.
02:38We'll send you on your way.
02:40They make for the perfect complement to Shake Shack's menu, particularly their signature shakes and Shack Burger.
02:46We're salivating already.
02:47Shake Shack.
02:48Worth it.
02:49Number 7, Culver's.
02:51At the higher end of fast food restaurants is this Wisconsin-based establishment.
02:55Our grilled chicken, our crispy chicken, and our spicy crispy chicken, they are amazing.
03:01Welcome to delicious.
03:02Culver's has cultivated a reputation for high-quality butter burgers, chicken tenders, and chicken sandwiches.
03:08Their crinkle-cut fries are no exception.
03:11With a defined crust and deep crinkles, and made with a thin layer of batter, Culver's fries are a delight to eat,
03:17dipped in either their tangy mayo-like fry sauce or their signature cheese sauce.
03:21Culver's crinkle-cut fries are a butter burger's best friend.
03:25Or just good old-fashioned ketchup.
03:27They also make a great snack to go with Culver's frozen custard dessert.
03:30You can say they are a crinkle-cut above the rest.
03:34Crinkle-cut fries will make you do crazy things.
03:36Number 6, Burger King.
03:38This fast food restaurant competes with McDonald's when it comes to legal issues, and also their french fries.
03:44Burger King took the best potatoes, sliced them long and lean.
03:47Unlike other fast food joints, Burger King has introduced a variety of fries to their menu.
03:51Some discontinued or only available in foreign markets like their chicken fries.
03:56Their best, however, is their regular french fries.
03:59So tender on the inside, crispy on the out.
04:03They are medium-thick, lightly browned, and coated with a layer of potato-based starch.
04:08They are crispy, perfectly salted, and are great on the side along with your Whopper.
04:12Whopper, Whopper, Whopper, Whopper.
04:15For classic french fries, Burger King's smooth-cut ones are more than satisfying to munch on.
04:20Number 5, Arby's.
04:22Real fries have curbs.
04:24If you're tired of the same diagonally cut fries, Arby's circular ones make for a welcome change.
04:29So when you bite into an Arby's curly fry, you're gonna have a nice baked potato interior.
04:33They are deep-fried and some of the crunchiest fries around, almost like onion rings.
04:39For those who like a satisfying crunch, Arby's definitely won't disappoint.
04:43Not only that, but the joint also serves regular crinkle-cut fries with deep ridges and a golden sheen.
04:48I want crinkle fries.
04:52Both of these make for great additions to Arby's menu of roast beef and deli sandwiches.
04:56Not even Family Guy could poke fun at their fries so you know they're legit.
05:00Hey, what's going on in that room?
05:01It's a focus group of Arby's executives watching us eat.
05:04Number 4, Wendy's.
05:06Apart from having one of the best social media accounts, this fast food joint also has incredible fries.
05:12Welcome to Wendy's. What would you like with your hot and crispy fries?
05:15Unlike the slim french fries of other restaurants, Wendy's serves thick, oblong, skin-on ones, leaving a potato-wedge skin at the tip.
05:23They are also coated with sea salt, which brings out the fry's terrific flavor.
05:27They taste great with almost every dipping sauce, and of course, as a side dish to Wendy's burgers.
05:33You may even enjoy dunking them in your frosty if you're adventurous enough.
05:36But most importantly, they're just great on their own.
05:39Theirs is a classic french fry that never gets old.
05:43We love these fries! They're really good!
05:45Number 3, Five Guys.
05:47These boardwalk-style wedges are not for the faint of heart.
05:50You can't have baseball without a bat. You can't have a burger without fries.
05:53For those who really like crispiness, these soft fries may disappoint.
05:57But for a hefty, hearty fry, there is none better.
06:00For connoisseurs of all things spice, there is no option but to order Five Guys Cajun-style fries.
06:06And we mean it!
06:07They have heavy Cajun seasoning, fried in peanut oil to greasy perfection.
06:12Pretty much goes from the dirt to the bag, into the sink, into the fryer, and into your mouth.
06:18Five Guys even put sacks of potatoes in the dining area for space or even aesthetic purposes,
06:23so that we know they are serious about their french fries.
06:26Sacks of potatoes surround customers in the restaurant.
06:28A board shows where the spuds come from each day.
06:31Now that's quality!
06:33Number 2, Chick-fil-A.
06:35This controversial restaurant is well-known for its thick, delectable chicken sandwiches.
06:40It's tasty, it's warm, it's total satisfaction.
06:43But its fries are really unforgettable.
06:46We've seen diagonal fries and curly fries, but Chick-fil-A is notable for its deliciously thick waffle fries.
06:53Despite the shape, they are not soft at all, but pleasantly crispy.
06:57Fried in canola oil and seasoned with sea salt.
07:00Yeah, that's freaking why I like it.
07:01They are especially suited for dipping in a variety of sauces,
07:04so instead of the usual fingernails worth of sauce, you get at least half a coat.
07:09Our sole complaint?
07:10There really needs to be more of them in one serving.
07:13Give us more!

07:31Number 1. McDonald's.
07:33We hate to admit it, but we can't ignore the truth of our own taste buds.
07:36And the potatoes that we tasted today were absolutely to die for.
07:41McDonald's is not the best-loved restaurant due to its countless controversies over the years.
07:46But their fries are so good that it's a genuine question whether they taste better alone or dipped in sauce.
07:51Heavily salted, golden, addictive.
07:54It is literally impossible to eat just one.
07:56Who are you? And how do you do that?
07:59McDonald's first cooked their french fries in beef tallow before switching to vegetable oil with beef flavoring due to health concerns.
08:05Whatever the method, these fries are iconic for very good reason.
08:09And all other fast food joints have since followed suit.
08:12All these years later, we're still loving it.
08:15Customers love our fries.
08:18Which fast food french fries are your particular favorite?
08:20Let us know in the comments.
