Well, if there's one thing we know that I love to enjoy it's French fries. Fries are like my kryptonite when it comes to a dish. Honestly, potatoes in general are my go to but an order of fries can really seal the deal. But, there is one thing that can really grind my gears. It's the amount of fries that comes in an order. I know, I know you can get larger orders but some spots I feel like are pretty skimp when it comes to their fries. Whether it is a small or large order, there are times I feel like I am missing some fries.

The Daily Meal is listing out fast food restaurants to see which chain is giving you the most fries. Now, I know this might be exposing some of these fast food spots but we got to know at this point. If you want to get your money's worth then you are going to be sure to know where you should or should not go. There are 13 fast-food spots on the list, but we are going to see which spots are at the top. The study that Daily Meal did was by ordering roughly the same size and weighing out how many fries come within each order. Check out the top 3 fast food spots below that give the most fries and tell us what you think:

  1. In-N-Out: Coming in at #1 is In-N-Out, which kind of sucks for those of us not in states with an In-N-Out. When ordering their medium order of fries, there came about 4.82 ounces of fries in a medium-sized serving.
  2. Burger King: Coming in at #2 is Burger King. One of the most popular fast food spots throughout the country is Burger King. When ordering a medium order of fries, there were about 5.10 ounces of fries served.
  3. Wendy's: Coming in at #3 is one of my favorite spots, Wendy's. Wendy's is serving up nearly 5 ounces for their medium order of fries.

So, have you ever weighed out how many fries you get in a medium order? Check out the full list here to see what other fast-food spots are serving up the most fries.

Best Places for Loaded French Fries in Charlotte, North Carolina

If you are anything like me, then you know French fries are top-tier food. I absolutely LOVE potatoes in general, but a nice French fry is probably my favorite version to enjoy a potato. For some reason, discussing food has really become my thing. I think it's because I  have been trying tons of new places throughout the Charlotte area lately. So, one thing that has been big in my recent discoveries is local spots with great fry orders. Now, I  do love a great plain jane seasoned French fry, but nothing tops a great loaded fry. I  am talking loaded up with some of your favorite toppings like meats, cheeses, seasonings, and so much more.

So, I have decided to help a few fellow French fry lovers around the Charlotte area. I asked a few people on Instagram where to get some of the best loaded French fries in Charlotte and boy did they come through! They were naming a few places that I  have already been to, but some new spots that I  have now added to my must-visit list. What else better to do than bring you the entire list right here? Check out where tons of people in the Charlotte area are saying have the best loaded French fries in Charlotte. Tell us what you think about these French fry spots if you ever had them!

Moo & Brew

Here is a goodie that I recently experienced and have been hooked ever since. Moo & Brew is a great chill spot in the Plaza Midwood area of Charlotte serving up great burgers, beer, and loaded French fries! Their "Fry Game" portion of the menu allows you to pick between six different loaded fries. Eat on loaded fries like the parmesan, olive oil, garlic fries (my favorite), bacon cheese fries, nacho fries, or chili loves cheese fries. Listen, when I say the portion size is great or you can get a half order but you also can get great entrees to enjoy along with it. If you have not been yet, 10/10 recommend it.

Pinky's Westside Grill

If you are from Charlotte or been here long enough, you have probably heard about Pinky's Westside Grill plenty of times. The show that has been featured on the Food Network is serving up some great bar food, drink options, and a fun atmosphere. On the menu, you can enjoy an order of Pimp'N Fries. These are there loaded fries that consists of homemade pimento cheese melted over crispy waffle fries. I have been here a few times, but have not experienced their loaded fries yet for myself but I have heard great things about them.

Why Fries

Now, I have never been here or heard of it but this is a spot that was suggested by a few of the followers. Why Fries, which clearly has the perfect name, is a spot serving up great potato options. Enjoy so many loaded potato options, salads, and desserts all in one spot. Their loaded fries options include bacon double cheeseburger loaded potatoes, chili loaded potatoes, stir fry loaded potatoes, and more.

What the Fries

Now, this place holds a special place in my heart. One of the first places I tried when I first moved to Charlotte. What the Fries is probably the BEST loaded fries I have ever had in my entire life. I know, that's a strong statement. But, they are so good. Currently, they are closed due to some unfortunate circumstances but they are on their way back and I cannot wait. What the Fries has fry options like hibachi loaded fries, macaroni and cheese fries, parmesan truffle fries, and MORE! If you can imagine it on your fries, they probably are serving it up.

Slidez N Fries

Here is another spot that was suggested from our followers again. I have not been here, but after looking into it I will surely be visiting soon. Slidez N Fries is said to have some great loaded French fry options. Enjoy some great crispy fries with great toppings like cheese sauce, meat, veggies, special sauces, and more. Yeah, sounds like a great visit to me.
