DK Diner is a non-traditional diner, on Third Avenue in Grandview. A very busy place in general, at the time I went there was a line of people waiting to have their breakfast. Fortunately, the staff really seems to be on top of everything, because I was seated within 15 minutes, and could get started on having my meal. So how do their fries stand up? For starters, the best way they can be described, is as “Five Guys styled”. With darker than normal potatoes, lots of skins, the general hand-cut style is exemplified well here. The biggest negative to these fries is they’re probably fried at a bit too high of a temperature, leaving the skin intact, but the potato inside is almost “melted” away. Some fries even had just an outside left over, and no potato “meat” on the inside. This wasn’t common, but a few fry specimens had this phenomenon happen. Price was $2.50 for a single basket, and the cut was moderate thickness. The overall experience with these fries is that if you like Five Guys fries, you’ll like these fries, though these aren’t fried with the peanut oil Five Guys uses.

(Disclosure: Pretty much everything about the aesthetic of this place rubbed me the wrong way, just in a personal preferences kind of way. Although the pancake was marvelous.)
