We asked Austinites to vote for their favorite fries, and—surprise, surprise—they picked the one decent option in a sea of trash.
Starting June 17, we asked locals to participate in a poll to determine which fry would satisfy their salty cravings. After a week of rigorous voting, the results are in, and it turns out that Austinites have mediocre taste.
Out of 19 contenders, these were the top three picks:
Austin, meet your fry masters:
1. P. Terry's: With an overwhelming 25.36% of the votes, these fries captured the hearts and taste buds of most voters. I mean, who doesn't love a good bag of greasy potatoes? Basic. https://www.pterrys.com
2. Hyde Park Bar & Grill: Coming in clutch at second place with 22.69%, these guys must be doing something right. Or the voters are just wrong. Probably the latter. https://www.hydeparkbarandgrill.com
3. Dan's Hamburgers: Curly fries? Really, Austin? You voted these sad, crispy curls into third place with 8.25% of the votes. Typical of you to go for the peculiar option. https://www.dansthehamburger.com
The full list of nominees (from best to worst):
- P. Terry's
- Hyde Park Bar & Grill
- Dan's Hamburgers
- Hopfields
- Justine's

There you have it, Austin. You decided that these three deserve the title of "Best Fries." I mean, you're not wrong, but you're not exactly right, either.
