Sorry for the hiatus, french fry loving friends! Worry not, I’ve been eating plenty of fries over the last month. Many an hour has been spent scoping out future locations for fry ratings. And just last weekend, I found a good candidate. After significant urging to try this location out, on Sunday morning I made my way to German Village to try out this homey diner. The name of the place says coffee shop, but in reality this is a diner through and through. Perhaps lacking in the 50’s charm of so many of these locations, but making up for it in local popularity. Not kidding about that, the wait for a seat at this place was almost an hour. So, how were their fries? Quite good, as it turns out. The fries are shoestring cut, about as thick as a McDonald’s fry, so about a 2.5/10 in thickness. They are crispy, but still full on the insides. Crispiness is about a 6/10, relatively crispy, but honestly slightly less than what you’d expect from a shoestring fry. I was very hungry after the wait, so I ended up getting a four-side order. This was a lot, and it makes serving size slightly hard to determine, but considering I got a massive plate full of fries, it’s safe to say serving size is still above average, especially considering a side is only $1.75. It’s truly good value for your money. This is true for everything I had here. Place is almost downright cheap for being in a fairly hipster area, and being a place that is obviously extremely popular. Fries had no salt/seasoning, and were very hot and fresh. Fries were slightly plain, nothing groundbreaking about them. Still, if you’re needing lots of food for your buck, this is a great place to eat at.
