| - FRITES ON POINT.
GENERAL: Great flavor, check the specials card for even more sauce variety, order 'em how you like 'em (extra crispy for me), check apps for frequent coupons/deals/steals!
I love love LOVE fried potatoes of any kind. These ones are delicious. Once you order, your frites are made fresh, which is always an added bonus.
FLAVOR: the seasoning is BOMB--a great combination of salty, tangy, smoky, garlicky, and every other delicious flavor you can imagine. There are maybe 10-15 sauces that you can choose from, and while I've enjoyed every one that I've had, the biggest standout for me is the sconnie sriracha. PRO TIP: don't get 100% set on your sauce decision based on the menu board; there are monthly specials on cards located up at the register. My favorite sauce so far has been the Roasted Red Pepper Aioli, which was a special sauce for this month.
TEXTURE: texture hasn't always been totally consistent for me here--sometimes I get a crisper order, sometimes I get a softer one, but every time, there are a handful of really crisp little guys that are my favorite. Don't be afraid to tell them what you like! I've learned that they key is to order them extra crispy or "well-done" so that I get all of my frites just the way that I like em!
PRICING: They definitely need to change this up--how? I'm not sure, but it doesn't make THAT much sense the way they have it now. They're not overpriced by any means, but it is a bit strange. The regular size is priced at $4.50, and it comes with one sauce. Large is $5.50 and comes with two sauces. Additional sauces can be purchased for $1.00 a piece or $2.50 for a combo of three sauces. If you're a sauce lover like me, you'll need an extra sauce no matter which size you go with...and while I'm not a fan of wasting food, at times it seems like it might be most cost-effective to just upgrade to the large for the extra "free" sauce and then get rid of whatever frites I don't eat. There are generally coupons on apps like Hooked that will get you a discount of some sort though, so that comes in handy for me a lot.
STAFF: The staff here is phenomenal. They are happy to answer questions and they're always polite, upbeat, and happy. I've seen them when I'm sober and I've seen them while I'm on the verge of blacking out, and they've always been kind and helpful.
ATMOSPHERE: Urban chic, with specialty tables that have holes to insert your fry-cones into! It's a great place to stop in off of state street. You can hang out with friends and play a board game from their selection, sit by the window and people-watch, or just chill out and enjoy your frites!
5 stars! I hope this place sticks around for a long time!!!
