Nah man, their fries have consistently been at the top of the chain when they went to the fresh cut. I have no idea why they thought to change them because when you're on top you don't touch poo poo until you're at burger king levels of bad and then start worrying.

Haven't had a chance to try them, it's the only reason I ever went to Wendys. :/

The fries were not good my nigga

it must have varied by franchise because the ones I used to get were without exaggeration or hyperbole the best fast food fries I've ever had, consistently so. until the day they switched to using synthetic frier oil and then they were bad bad bad

Finally had these. Game changer.

Their old fries were bottom tier, absolute dog poo poo. If you don't have a Wendy's near you, make yourself a burger, and serve it with al dente spaghetti noodles as a stand in for fries.

New fries rock.



Good two posts to have in a row, lol.

I agree with the latter. Carls Jr. is the bottom tier now as the last natural cut standing (some Carls have generic fries now but nothing like the old soggy fries they had that weren't great but way better than what they have now).

I kind of want to do a fry tier thread but my popeyes rip off thread is controversial enough already.

If you think your chicken sandwich thread is controversial, I guarantee a fry ranking thread will be ten times more so. It will be destined to be non stop arguments. You definitely should make the thread.

They are pretty good although it takes something pretty big for me to not get red beans and rice (them being out of red beans and rice).

BK fries are garbage even when served fresh and piping hot

The 2 for $6 sandwich deal is good, not because the sandwiches are good; but because the fries are that bad

you're better off just getting a second sandwich in place of fries and a soda

i say swears online posted:

this is also true

I wish BK would let your sub out fries for a value menu item instead. I'd much rather have a value menu chicken sandwich with my burger instead of fries. I'd much rather have a rodeo burger with my chicken sandwich instead of fries.

I have never gone to a second fast food place to get fries. That's just asinine.

any place's 2/$5 or 2/$6 menu is miles ahead of fries and drink, especially if you're counting macros. i gave up fries a couple years ago and an extra filet o fish or wendy's spicy chicken really fills that sense of loss

their app coupons can be the best in the biz. often i'll get a $3 double whopper, or $1 rodeo burgers, extra onion. still a banger dollar menu compared to the competition

Ya I’ve definitely snuck a bag of onion rings into McD before. Actually McD did do them at one time in the UK, but they were utter trash.

i got some wendys last week and got some fries that were obviously not fresh,but they were still delicious, which is impressive because i liked their old fries and ususlly hate formula changes. kinda wanna try getting some and making poutine, but i dunno how id handle the logistics of keeping the fries fresh while i make gravy...

The last time I went to Wendy's I tried to get the 2 for $5 chicken sandwich and that deal no longer exists and I paid $12 for a chicken sandwich on a "pretzel bun" that only resembled a pretzel in visual form. It did not have the taste or texture or a soft pretzel in any way. My fries were soggy. I paid 4x my asking price for a chicken sandwich that was more visually appealing but tasted no different from the last.

I wish my local Wendy's was boarded up and closed. They did a flavor crime on me and I haven't been back since. gently caress your fancy fries. You charged me $12 for the most disappointing chicken sandwich of my life. I have enjoyed dollar menu chicken sandwiches more that that.
