Blue Moon Pizza

If a plate of fries covered in cheese is ideal, Blue Moon Pizza’s cheese fries are a great choice. These fries take on a pizza vibe with a house blend of cheddar cheese melted on top. Homemade cayenne-candied bacon adds a sweet touch. Round out these indulgent fries with ranch dressing, served on the side. Find the cheese fries at the pizza shop’s other locations in Buckhead, Sandy Springs, and Marietta. Order online for takeout.

Taco Pete

The original Taco Pete was founded in Los Angeles in 1966. This corner-situated taco stand in East Point is its second location.

While this Westside Provisions District restaurant takes a more minimalist approach when it comes to topping its French fries, the truffle aioli that comes on the side is what makes these a stand-out. A thinner fry with a little bit of crunch, JCT tops the fried spuds with grated parmesan. Order online for takeout.

Puncho's Late-Nite Fry Trap

Copy Link

Fresh cut fries with toppings beyond the wildest imagination are found on Puncho’s menu. This French fry operation is more of a roving takeout joint. Order online, choose the cash payment method, wait until the order is confirmed, and then pay via CashApp. The pick-up location is sent upon payment. Upon arrival at the designated pick-up spot, Puncho’s will deliver those fries straight to the car. Try the Bluff with crispy hot honey lemon pepper chicken bites and ranch drizzles. Follow on Instagram for updates, specials, and weekly fry menus.

Yumbii

Copy Link

What began as a food truck, Yumbii now serves street eats with a blend of Asian and Mexican flavors at its taco shops in Buckhead and Toco Hills. The sesame fries on the menu here lean more on Asian flavors. Offering optimal crispiness, these fries are tossed in sesame oil and special seasoning that hits the palate in waves — sweet, spicy, and salty. The secret weapon behind these fries: the chipotle ketchup, which is smoky and sweet with a spicy punch at the end. A Yumbii location is headed to the Moores Mill Shopping Plaza soon, too. Order online for takeout or delivery.

Fred's Meat & Bread

It’s frustrating to order garlic fries only to scoop out chunks of garlic before even getting to the actual fries. Not at Fred’s. These garlic fries — one of the most popular fry options on the menu — are tossed in a parsley and garlic mixture that turns the fries green and evenly distributes the flavor without being over- or underwhelmed by garlic.

These perfectly crispy fries are addicting. However, these fries are made even more irresistible when dipped in Leon’s unique sauces. There’s a choice of sauces, if ordering fries “in the bucket”.
