They’re mad soggy .

I also don’t get huge portions at all of them. Some places they’ll overflow the cup but in others they just fill up the cup so I don’t count the calorie count because of amount. They’re also cut a little thicker than standard fast food fries.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

You know what my response will be.

 

[tay1]

You know what my response will be.

I actually don’t

 

[mplsdunk]

5guys fries are wack. Idc if they are home made if you make them wrong. I’d rather have some crinkly cut frozen ones that aren’t soggy af.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

I actually don’t

If you aren't asking for your fries well done @ a place that you are accusing of making soggy fries, that is ALL #UserError.

Ask for them well done.

 

[niceshoes247]

Red Robin has good fries

Ask for them well done.

When I go there I’m usually just so focused on the burger that it doesn’t even come to my mind to mention it. Also asking for well done fries doesn’t always produce better results. They come out worse at Wingstop .

 

[Grine]

Is it not portions?

Yeah it says “regular size” which is a giant portion.

Freddy’s shoestring fries >

Yea, you gotta try it for yourself.

I guess asking for stuff well-done is just always in the back of my head whenever I eat fried food.

Let me know when you try them though.

Consider trying these Five Guys fry hacks

"The fries at Five Guys are already incredibly good on their own, but it doesn't hurt to try and upgrade them. If you really want to push the limits of what a fry can handle, there are numerous food hacks out there that can be applied to your Five Guys fry order.

The first one is pretty simple: you can get a crispier order of french fries if you simply say that you'd like your fries "extra well done" (via Wide Open Eats). No limp fries in your brown bag!"
