  • I KNOW I wrote a review of Mad City Frites a couple of weeks ago. It's disappeared for some reason. I'm in a writin' mood, so here goes another. Interior was spacious, clean and bright, with fun holes in each table for the paper fry-cone holder to sit in. The lone woman on duty was very nice, and rather excited to bestow the frites upon us! I take that as a sign of a new business populated by energetic young folk. Oh, to be in the flower of youth again! The frites were nice and crispy on the outside, and creamy on the inside, with a sprinkle of season salt to spice them up a bit. We ended up getting three of the dipping sauces: the garlic, the honey-mustard, and the mad sauce. The garlic was not super flavorful. It helped to glob the sauce on each bite. Perhaps more of this sauce is required to accommodate such globbing. The other two were much better. The honey-mustard was nice and tangy-sweet (HM is one of my fave combos), and the Mad sauce was really good too. It's been a few weeks, so I can't remember what was in it exactly, but it was very flavorful, kind of like sweet pepper maybe? AGHH my memory! Anyway, I enjoyed these two sauces a lot. Several reviewers have dinged this place because the frites are "too thick." I wasn't aware that there were standard specs for this kind of fry. I LIKE thick-cut fries, and this joint does them well as descibed above. But then, I also like steak fries, so I guess that makes me, what, a philistine? Probably! I guess these sort of one-item menu concepts are au courant. This one makes a lot of sense for a snack mid-afternoon, as I had. They are open super-late on weekends, so the other obvious time is after-bar for State Street drunkies. Whatever floats your boat. I would go again, and probably will soon as I have been having cravings for fries this week and I have to go downtown every day. Kinda inevitable! I've never been to Belgium, so I can't speak to how "authentic" they are ( I find this term used as a criticism of restaurants to be tendentious and tiresome anyway) but I can say the frites are plenty tasty and satisfying, the portions are good for one, or to share with a friend (unless you're a fat-ass) and the sauces I've had are a nice tasty addition.
