Best fast food I've ever had. Period.

Amazing quality, consistently great service, and their fries are a very close second to McD's. I've never had a bad experience there, ever.

I could easily eat lunch there every day.

A search finds a Runza on Johnson Dr is Mission Kansas. This is on my list also one in Lawrence.

I usually think of Braums fries too. I haven't eaten there in years (or McDs either), but I remember they were as good as any.

Bojangles seasoned fries.
Five Guys cajun fries.

This looks interesting kinda a loose meat pocket sammy. Is this a good choice Runza vets?

Outside Red Robin steak fries and Rallys/Checkers seasoned fries, I'm more concerned with quality dipping sauces.

I'm not a big fan of ketchup on fries [even though I love it fine on hash browns or home fries at breakfast. Go figure], so I want a good honey mustard or chipotle sauce.

For example, Culvers fries are objectively your basic Ore-Ida frozen aisle crinkle fries. But you always get them fresh, and their honey mustard is on point.

Burger King does go a tad overboard with their 'crisp enhancer' coating, to where it's more of a potato product than a fry. To be fair, they're like Rallys seasoned fries without the seasoning.

One that goes unnoticed is Penn Station. They slice the fries from whole potatoes and fry them up right in front of you while they make your sub. Nothing remarkable, except the transparency of fresh ingredients.

Least favorite I know will be an unpopular choice. I don't know what it is about Arby's curly fries. I can watch them come out of the fryer onto my tray and before I sit down they are cold. They ought to use them to insulate the space shuttle for their heat shedding properties.

RED ROBIN!

MC Ds are pretty solid when fresh
KC joes are great

Red Robin & gates steak fries are good when fresh

I've always thought 5 guys frys were aids and all around soggy awful

Steak and shake shoestring fries are meh

Arby's curly fries are good sometimes

Chic fil a waffle fries are good

Typically I skip the fries at most locations unless it's paired with what I ordered without much option to change (beef on bun with fries etc)

That's the original Runza. There's numerous variations, Italian Runza, Swiss Cheese Mushroom Runza, Spicy Jack Runza, etc. I'd recommend the Spicy Jack but you can't really go wrong with any of them. They have great burgers too.

Five Guys and Wing Stop's fries are really similar, but Wing Stop salts the shit out of theirs. Still love them. I have always liked KFC's wedges and Church's crinkle cut fries, too.

Locally here in KC, 54th Street has an appetizer called Fry Me to the Moon. It comes with a really freaking yummy chipotle ranch dipping sauce, and the stuff is like crack.

Rallies is tied with McDonalds for me
