Nancy’s Home Cooking is located in the Clintonville area of High Street, just over a mile north of the north edge of campus, and is a local hotspot for good food, and possibly a bit of a cultural icon for the immediate area too. Inside, it looks like a traditional diner, maybe a bit on the small and cramped side, but nothing unusual about the decor. So, how about their fries? First off, they’re a normal cut, but with a twist. They’re definitely in the traditional fast food style, rather than a clean fry. This just means there’s roughness to the outside skin of the fry, and this place does the style very well. No salt, but a tiny amount of pepper seasoning does add a bit of extra to the taste. Some of the fry corners do a small amount of exposed skin, but it doesn’t do anything good or bad for the taste, definitely no hint of country cooking here. Fries cost $1.75, and the serving size for this is average to above average. As typical, pictured is two servings.
