Finger Lickin’ French Fries around Marin

 

In-N-Out fries are less than satisfying and have a lower price at $1.79.

In-N-Out (1.5 stars)

In-N-Out is known for being the gold-standard of fast food in California, but these fries do not live up to expectations. The mediocre fries lack flavor and salt, and are extremely oily. Not only are they are soft on the outside, they also don’t have a satisfying “crunch” when you bite down. The restaurant itself has a social atmosphere and you’ll likely  run into someone you know. Coupled with comforting red chairs and white tables, this interaction adds to the casual feel. With no choice of size, these fries cost $1.79.

 

 

Super Duper fries are flavorful and have a price of $2.75.

Super Duper (4 stars)

Although Super Duper’s Mill Valley location is fairly far from Redwood, it offers thicker, yet crunchier, and potato-filled fries. The wooden tables and outdoor seating make the atmosphere comfortable and great for attending with friends and family. While these fries could use some more salt, the crunch on the outside and creamy potato in the middle make up for the loss.These fries are slightly more expensive at $2.75 for a less-than-filling tub, and are not enough bang for your buck.

 

 

Although these M&G Fries are the most expensive, they offer the best taste and come in a variety of sizes.

M&G’s (5 stars)

M&G’s offers fries with the perfect texture and balance of salt and crunch. These are also the only fries that are crinkle cut. Although these fries have the highest price of $3.40 for a medium size, they are highly recommended and definitely worth the price. With one location in Larkspur on Magnolia and another in Fairfax on Sir Francis Drake the locations are local and a perfect place to go to for lunch, an after school snack, or dinner.

 

 

 

McDonald’s (3.5 stars)

These fries from McDonalds are always a satisfying option with a lower price ranging from $1.29 to $1.79.
These fries from McDonalds are always a satisfying option and have the lowest price.

These french fries have a fair amount of salt and oil and are always a go-to when you’re craving a late night snack. With three sizes available and prices ranging from $1.29 to $1.79, McDonald’s fries are a decent choice. These fries are satisfyingly crunchy on the outside, but they lack the softer potato in the middle, due to a thin style. Although the venue uneventful with plastic booths and florescent lights, this restaurant can accommodate you until 11:00 p.m, and has the option of a drive-thru if you go the one in Mill Valley on Redwood Highway.
