Dan’s Drive In

Dan’s Drive In is a diner style restaurant on South High Street. Consciously trying to look old-fashioned, they largely succeed in this ambition. It’s been a while since I went here, but I have good notes on the quality of their fries, so here we go! The fries were standard cut, about a 4.5/10 thickness, and are warm, though maybe not the freshest fries possible. A fair amount of the fries were really crispy on the outside, but kind of hollow on the inside. This tends to indicate the fries weren’t fried at the proper temperature (likely too hot). Aside from this, the fries were actually not very crispy, and occasionally even were a bit soggy. Odd dichotomy, indeed. It should be noted that while the fries were okay, the whole place had a feel of economy food, not exactly what you’re looking for when going out to eat anywhere. I’d recommend the fries if you’re passing by and want some, and don’t mind a sit-down restaurant, but just about everything else was subpar. But… that’s not what I’m here to review. Just keep it in mind.
