Top Spots For French Fries In South Florida

Whether it's shoestring, crinkle cut, or topped and dipped with every flavor imaginable, French fries are no longer just a side item. Here are our picks for the best fries in South Florida.

Shake Shack

What started off as a small to-go restaurant in New York has little shops popping up across the country including here in South Florida. However, their big name has not lessened the quality of their great fries. These tiny eateries have become so popular, that many have now installed "Shack Cams" for hungry eaters to check out the size of the line before you go—saving you loads of time. Braving the line is always worth the wait though, because at the end will be a scrumptious plate of steaming, crinkle cut fries, ready to be devoured. Served up plain or with cheese, the Shake Shack team has perfected the art of the fun shaped fry.
