Austin’s Fry-ing Competition: Poll Says

We begged you to settle a fry fight, and y'all came through.

We asked, Austin, and y'all actually delivered. Turns out, the best fries in this fine city are at P. Terry's, a real, red-blooded, All-American fast-food joint. No fancy stuff here, just good old-fashioned fries served in a paper bag. The people have spoken, and they want their freedom fries hot, crispy, and damn tasty.

"These fries embody Austin's love for classic, delicious comfort food."

Coming in at a close second, we got Hyde Park Bar & Grill, with their fancy-shmancy buttermilk batter and spices. Sounds pretty woke, but I guess they know how to make a fry. In third place, we got Dan's Hamburgers, with their curly fries that'll make you wonder why the left is so bent out of shape about straws.
