Best french fries in downtown JC?

Submitted by dpw59 t3_11c4jcg in jerseycity

Craving french fries lately, something I usually skip for side salads.

Where can I get the best fries downtown JC area or nearby? You know the kind, crispy on the outside and soft inside.

Thanks!

If you like waffle fries, the ones at Mathews are some of my favorite. They go really well with the cheeseburger burger and chicken BLT sandwich.

The Greek fries at Ella Greek Kitchen are good too.

It's Five Guys. They're cut daily, double fried and with optional Cajun seasoning. Hot and plentiful.

Five guys Peri Peri Fries? Also, Orale has fries which are quite different but tasted great when we tried them.

Maritime Parc, they’re made by Chef Silverston and have won tons of awards, they’re called duck fat fries because they’re fried in duck fat, supposedly giving them such a great flavor + plus the seasoning! If you like fries I’d definitely recommend checking them out!!!

The little sandwich shop makes really good battered fries. And a pretty solid chicken cheesesteak.

No one ever recommends the lobster garage fries but they are my favorite. They're amazing for a basic fry. They're not fancy, but they are perfectly cooked; thin and crispy, like McDonald's but elevated. They season with old bay and give an amazing dipping sauce.

I'll make the case for Abbey's: crisp, crunchy, and....potato-y in a way a lot of other fries aren't

Not mentioned here already: Grace O’Malleys. Buddy’s fries are essentially a meal in themselves

Do not eat there I trained to be a bartender there and the bar I was at was so disgusting I’ve never seen anything like it and I’ve been in food service since the 90’s. They were upset I was cleaning but I couldn’t just stand around with all that filth.

Not sure if they’re best in downtown, but I enjoy the ones from Diesel and Duke’s. Good enough to eat without any kind of dip, which is IMO the litmus test for a good fry.

Not JC but the best fries I ever had were in Manhattan at Iris . Takes 3 days to prepare. The crisp level is otherworldly due to the first step of a glucose soak before the first cook. But for JC I like archer duck poutine and Ella Greek fries and of course McDonald's fries 🍟 when I feel really bad lol
