1, 7, 6, 4, 8, 3, 2, 5
My only strong opinion on the whole chart is that crinkle cut fries are the worst thing shown and thus take last place no matter what
1,5,7,8,3,4,2,6
I love my thick wedges! Shoestring always disappoints me for some reason
Best to worst: 8, 7, 4, 2, 6, 1, 3, 5
Sweet potato in general is just terrible.
I’ll just take whatever. I’m not picky.
Zigzag
Uh, it’s crinkle cut and someone will die on my hill.
Our hill.
-
Tater tot: A good tater tot is like butter. Pure salt and crunch then melt in your mouth deliciousness.
-
Onion Rings: Good onion rings is technically better than tater tots, but the spectrum of bad to good onion rings is very wide.
-
Curly Fries: Curly Fries are hard to fuck up. I don’t even think I’ve had a variation of curly fries. They’re all the same to me, but they’re so good.
-
Wedges: Wedges have a smaller spectrum than onion rings, but the ceiling is lower and they’re hard to rank better than the ones ahead of them.
-
Shoestring: McDonalds
-
ZigZag: These can range from heavenly to straight fucking trash. Unfortunately they’re too easy to turn into straight fucking trash. By that I mean you have to put more work into them to make them good as opposed to just salt and oven/fried. Might as well just try to fry some snow at that point.
-
Sweet Potato: I’ve had good sweet potato fries but I rarely get good sweet potato fries.
-
Waffle: I don’t get these. They’re ass. The only place that makes them kinda tolerable is Chik-Fila, but even then they’re still ass to me. Can’t even make them good at home without drowning them in salt and ketchup. I can slice up a potato and chuck them in the oven and get better results most of the time.
Edit for formatting. Apparently piefed, doesn’t honor your numbering and turns it into 1, 2, 3, etc even if you go 8, 12, 3.
I nearly dismissed your review until you qualified your assessment of onion rings. I have transposed the order on those first two myself
They’re close. I might give another answer depending on the day. The rest of the order I stand by.

Onion rings top, then tots, then everything else
I’m not too fussy about my deep fried treats. They’re all no. 1 in my book. Except sweet potato, they can fuck off. They taste fine, but why are they always soggy?
You haven’t had good ones then, because a well cooked sweet tater fry that is crispy on the outside and soft in the middle is the best.
I clearly haven’t, but I’d like to.
So true actually
Seasoned fries for robbed
wedges, waffle, tots, onion rings, curly, shoestring, crinkle (never heard them called zigzag), sweet potato
I have had really good sweet potato fries that rank much higher, but they’re a gamble. Seem to have greater variation in quality than the other options.
- Waffle fries (always crispy and delicious)
- Curly fries (same)
- Tater tots (surprisingly good)
- Wedges, if properly spiced
- Good onion rings
- Shoestring, if not limp
- Bad onion rings
- Bad wedges
- Crinkle cut (zigzag) (usually unflavored and soggy from a bag, but can be better than soggy shoestrings)
- Bad shoestrings
- Sweet potato fries (always soggy and I don’t like sweet potato very much)
list is missing Fried Tofu
since we’re apparently just including any random fuckin food you can fry
Also missing fried taro and fried cassava.
Starting with the best: 8,2,3,4,6,7,5,1
