Literally these are the best fries I've ever had hands down. I got the original plain with just salt on them and the original chili BBQ which were off the hook. Both of them were amazing even the plain salted ones. I'm actually am shocked how good these fries are they were perfectly crispy not overcooked with the perfect amount of seasoning they are absolutely delicious. My son had come home about an hour and a half after I got them and I told him to try them and you know how usually after fries sit for 15-20 minutes they're not that good well after an hour and a half they were still top-notch ...no lie!!!! My son said oh "Damn if there.this good after over an hour then I wonder what they tasted like when you first got them".... that's how good they are!!! They are perfection...crisp but not at all burnt, not at all oily and the taste is fresh!! I also tried the spicy nuggets which We're more like popcorn chicken which is fine by us because we love popcorn chicken they were absolutely delicious.The portion sizes for both were very generous. I will be going back here without a doubt not even a question and not just once in a while but quite often. Because these items were so good I wanna try their burger and their Cheese sticks. Great job...so happy to have a place like this 3 min away!!

I have never felt the need to write a review. Food was way overpriced for what it was. Out of the 4 of us that ordered food, we all hated it. Way to much seasoning on the fries, we each tried one bite and threw away the rest. We all had a long day and were starving so ate the burgers and shrimp we got but didn't like it at all. One of us does not do much carbs so wanted to eliminate the bun and asked for lettuce wrapped. The girl at the counter said that would look ugly so gave a stack of lettuce on the side in a huge bag. The girl at the counter also informed me that often people do not like the food they receive and return to ask them to remake the food....uh, you probably should not say that to a customer but now I get why people return it, its awful! Also, the sauce on the burgers had a nasty flavor that turned all of our stomachs. $48 for 2 burgers, a drink, and 2 orders of small fries? This was not a gourmet meal or food of quality...There was nothing good or special about this food and quality did not warrant the price. Quite honestly, McDonalds tastes better. I never imagined I would say those words. Do not waste your money.

Waffle fries with seaweed salt. Regular fries with sweet corn seasoning. Both were delicious. Fries had just come out. Worth the wait.

Good fries, but deceptive marketing. There’s a lot of empty space at the bottom of the containers, much like a potato chip bag ):

New fry store took over the old Cajun place. Good fries, definitely better than potato corner which I find too sweet and not crispy enough.

Got the large seaweed salt flavor, every fry was crunchy/crispy and coated in flsvor. About $10 for the large, they give you a good amount of fries.

Fun to get fries in different flavors.

Service was efficient and helpful, 5/5! If there is a timing issue between your food order and your drink order, they ask you if you would prefer the quicker item(s) come first or if they should time it so they all are prepped together. From what I saw, they honored our preference (to receive both at the same time) pretty well - our drink was ready and waiting only a minute or so before our food order. Again, 5/5 service.

Onto food quality - the mango slushie was fine. Tasted pretty artificial, which isn't a deal-breaker in itself, but it doesn't really stand on its own too well.

The fries were served hot and freshly seasoned. The regular portion is generous, although you should know that they serve them in a sleeve inside the cup. That is to say, don't expect the look of the container you receive to be a true reflection of the quantity you get. Nonetheless, it was a very solid serving of fries.

I ordered the traditional cut fries and they were great in terms of texture (crispy outside, fluffy inside). The seasoning left a lot to be desired, however. If you order the seaweed and salt and pepper seasoning, be prepared for a mild amount of seaweed flavor and not much else. There was plenty of visual evidence of seasoning, it just... didn't quite translate to the palate, despite eating them immediately upon leaving with our takeaway.

If you want decent plain fries, try this place out. Don't expect too much in terms of flavoring for the $7-8 you'll spend. I'll probably try them again with a different seasoning choice just to see, but I'm not excited to do that any time soon.

We ordered tots w/ Cajun and it was good. Sampled chili Bbq and Cumin Bbq, both were good.

Dont bother with the Angus burger or chicken wings. They’re not good.

Would come back for the tots but not burger or chicken wings. They need to revamp their non potato menu. Need unique burgers and/or unique chicken wings

My sister loves fries so we stopped in to try. We ordered on the kiosk, 3 chicken sandwich and tots, nuggets and another order of tots. The tots are pretty crispy and portion wise pretty good. I got the large bucket and it was almost to much. The chicken sandwich was kinda small and nothing spectacular. The Hokkaido ice cream was a bit icy not creamy. Overall in my opinion is just ok. I did like the chili BBQ flavor on my tots though it's different. My kid liked the chicken nuggets but didn't care for the tot, but he's picky.

The burger was so juicy! Fries were great too seaweed is our favorite. Curly fries are a bit salty though. Spicy chicken sandwich was very good also. It's actually spicy and the piece of chicken is huge!

Food has way too much salt and seasoning on it, making it almost inedible. $20 for a combo meal, and a 25 minute wait for food. I’m not a picky eater but I would take a McDonald’s chicken sandwich over this any day.
I couldn’t finish my food it was borderline inedible

Don’t waste your time and money. Food takes forever. All the fries are way too salty and the chicken sandwhich is borderline inedible. None of these flavors go together and just make you want to stop eating.
Also a regular meal is $20… unreal
