As a little kid I never liked Rally’s fries. I thought they were too harsh, too highly seasoned. But that’s changed. As most of the Rally’s in the greater Columbus area were torn down for some reason, I grew to like their taste. They are heavily seasoned, with a straight cut that’s on the thin side. Very crispy, sometimes they’ll even stick together, but it’s no big issue. If they’re salted at all, the taste of it is completely overwhelmed by the seasoning. Given that there’s only 2 Rally’s in the area that I know of anymore, I can’t give an expert’s opinion on the differences between stores (there’s a review in the future that this will matter a lot for). But as an obsessive, my favorite part of Rally’s is their special, the Fry Lovers XL. It’s the pinnacle of simplicity, just french fries stuffed into a large soft drink container. It can’t possibly be healthy, but man does it cater to me.

Location ordered: Hudson and High Street

Sizes: Small, Medium, Large, Fry Lovers XL

Prices: $1.99, $2.29, $2.59, $3,99 (Fry Lovers is by far the best value, if you think you can eat that many. The other sizes are quite small, the large is probably a little smaller than a McDonald’s Medium.)

Cut: Straight, relatively thin.

Salt: Very light.

Seasoning: Heavy and spicy.

Other: Heavy on the crumbs, if that matters to you. Seems to be a bit of a theme among spicy seasoned fries.
