Pay no mind to people who don’t consider fries an entree. You don’t need that kind of negativity in your life. Crispy, fresh cut, curly, seasoned, or loaded – you simply can’t go wrong. Here are 8 restaurants in Buffalo with fries so good they should be the main course (and, let’s be honest… we often order them as such).
- Allen St. Poutine Company (242 Allen Street)
Marc A - TripAdvisor
Allen St. Poutine Company - Facebook Obviously, we had to start with Allen St. Poutine Company. This restaurant, after all, really does have fries as a main course, and they are phenomenal any way you top them! Find gooey gravy, pulled pork, and pretty much any variety of topping you can imagine at this Canadian-inspired (and Buffalo perfected) eatery.
- Smoke on the Water (77 Young Street, Tonawanda)
Dr Tim T - TripAdvisor
Smoke on the Water- BBQ - Facebook Smoke On The Water in Tonawanda serves up Greek feta fries that will blow you away! These fries are perfectly complemented by feta cheese. Order them as an entree or as a side to pair with an additional menu item.
- Nine-Eleven Tavern (11 Bloomfield Avenue)
The Nine-Eleven Tavern - Facebook
chris45ny - TripAdvisor Nine-Eleven Tavern is known by Buffalonians for their delicious wings, but their fresh-cut seasoned fries are a very close runner-up for crowd favorite! If you don’t understand the hype of these fries, you obviously haven’t tried them for yourself. We recommend you get on that – and soon!
- Juicy Burger Bar (1 Buffalo Street, Hamburg)
management - TripAdvisor
Juicy Burger Bar - Facebook How sweet it is… to dig into delicious sweet potato fries from Juicy Burger Bar! This Hamburg restaurant has some of the best burgers in the 716 and their fries aren’t too shabby, either. Their normal fries are a tasty safe bet - but the dipping sauce for these sweet potato fries will undoubtedly win you over!
- Duff’s Famous Wings (Several Locations)
574emilyk - TripAdvisor
Duff’s Famous Wings - Facebook Duff’s is synonymous with wings in Buffalo, but their fries don’t deserve taking the backseat to fame. Don’t forget to order a side to share with the table – or go for it and order fries as an entree the next time you stop in. We promise we won’t judge!
- Ted’s Hot Dogs (Several Locations)
Ted’s Hot Dogs - Facebook
Amy K - TripAdvisor Oh, Ted’s, how we love thee! This Buffalo favorite tastes just like summer. If you’re not in the mood for one of Ted’s famous hot dogs, the loaded fries are an amazing alternative. Or you can really indulge and order both!
- Steve’s Pig & Ox Roast (951 Ridge Road, Lackawanna)
Steve’s Pig & Ox Roast - Facebook
Steve’s Pig & Ox Roast - Facebook There’s just something about curly fries that feels like a special treat. Steve’s Pig & Ox Roast in Lackawanna makes these delicious loops better than anyone else! They’re shown here with a classic WNY fish fry, but we’d highly recommend ordering the fries on their own. You won’t regret it.
- Pearl Street Grill & Brewery (76 Pearl Street)
Sanjeev - TripAdvisor
MirandaandKyle - TripAdvisor Some like them thick, and Pearl Street knows how to make ’em! Their steak fries are cut so thick they almost can’t even pass for fries. We’re not complaining - one bite and you’ll be hooked!
