Crisp, golden fries are the ultimate companion to any sandwich or burger, and their universal appeal shows no signs of slowing down. The National Potato Council reports that Americans consume an average of 29 pounds of frozen potato products per person annually—much of it in fry form—underscoring a healthy appetite for this simple snack. In Winchester, these three spots deliver French fries that range from hand‑cut classics to seasoned specialty styles.
Five Guys fries start with fresh‑cut potatoes, cooked twice in peanut oil for a signature crisp exterior and fluffy interior. Served in generous portions, the fries come either “Five Guys Style” (salted) or “Cajun Style,” tossed with a proprietary blend of spices for a savory kick. Customers appreciate the visible preparation—buckets of potatoes sit behind the counter—reinforcing the chain’s commitment to freshness.
At Backseat Bar & Grill, French fries are elevated with house‑made seasonings and creative topping options. Their “Loaded Backseat” fries feature melted cheese, crispy bacon bits and jalapeño slices, drizzled with chipotle aioli. Classic fries arrive piping hot and lightly seasoned, perfect for dipping in the bar’s signature sauces. The Facebook page highlights weekly specials, like “Truffle‑Parm Fries” on Taproom Tuesdays.
Chick‑fil‑A’s waffle‑cut fries offer a unique texture, with deep pockets that hold seasoning and sauces. Cooked fresh throughout the day and seasoned with sea salt, they strike a balance between crispy edge and tender center. Whether paired with the chain’s Chick‑fil‑A Sauce or a side of zesty buffalo, these fries have become a fan favorite for their consistency and taste.
