Chick-fil-A is stereotypically southern, to a degree that even Waffle House might not be, so it is kinda cool that there’s one only a few miles drive away from my house. This place is definitely closer to a fast-food experience than a dine-in place, even though it’s not a “name” fast-food restaurant. It’s got the paper fry containers on the plastic tray thing going that McDonald’s started some 60 years ago. So, how are their fries? The obvious thing, is the fries are waffle fry style, which is unusual in general, and even more unlikely given that Chick-fil-A, as mentioned before, is leaning toward the fast-food style of restaurant. It’s not an easy style to make outstanding. Given, that it’s also a difficult style to truly screw up, but average doesn’t make memories, especially not with fries. So, the good. The individual “waffles” are large and strong, not prone to breaking into crumbs. The salt is done well on these fries, not much, but very thick, giving a good emphasis of taste for a limited amount of mess. For the not so good, the fries aren’t exactly fresh. Not exactly bad, but meh. Warm, not hot, etc. And a moderate crispiness, particularly on the edges, gives way to a sogginess in the center of many of the individual fries. A little bit of crumb residue from the oil is present, but that’s not exactly unusual. Generally okay fries, but kinda featureless, as tends to be the case for waffle fries. The cut is usually expected to be its own experience, and any unique features are limited because of this fact.

Price: $1.85 (a redeeming feature, very cheap for the style and a pretty decent amount given).

Cut: Waffle (obviously).

Salt: Light, but thick “grains”. Another good feature.

Seasoning: None.
