I can't top Laura's glowing and accurate description but I can say she's definitely right about the aroma. Each time I've had these the rosemary is taunting me all the way until I get to the sad, sad more…   [2 reviews]

Not a fan. Don't like battered fries in general, and thought the sauce was just 'meh' ~ Give me a classic fry with a really garlicky aioli. more…   [10 reviews]

These fries are good - really good, although to score a 10 for me they would need to be a little thicker and a little saltier right out of the fryer. Even so, they are some good fries. They are fresh, more…   [2 reviews]

Terra Burger gets points for their fries. They've managed to create crispy skin-on fries that have just the right proportion of fluffy innards to crunchy crust. They also know how to salt their fries more…   [1 review]

Their french fries are seasoned just right... a little sweet, a slight salty! A must try. I must warn you though, they are not great when ordered to go. more…   [1 review]

These fries screamed, "Look, we're fancy seasoned fries!" from their bowl on our table Friday night. They were over-salted and over-seasoned, inelegant in spite of their pretentious setting. And they more…   [2 reviews]

Your mid-western stomach hasn't seen anything like this! These potatoes count as two sides, and rightfully so. Green bell peppers, mushrooms, onions and potatoes are glued together by a stringy jack more…   [1 review]

Well, these are pretty good. In the age of the blanched, sweet fried spud, these are a good change of pace. Wouldn't go out of my way for them, though. more…   [6 reviews]

I always forget about the Driskill's 1886 Cafe & Bakery. I don't know why. It's located in the heart of Austin, and is a delightful place to meet a friend for lunch, or relax at a window table and watch more…   [1 review]

Eat this all-beef, all-natural hot dog knowing that it's not pumped with preservatives, nitrates or nitrites. The 6th and Lamar Whole Foods' new American Cafe (replacing the former "Asia Bowl") turns more…   [1 review]

This was my first visit to Hill's and had fairly low expectations based on the lack of patrons when we arrived and well, I'd never heard anything about it. Once I got over the 85 or so compact florescent more…   [1 review]

Fries with Garlic Aioli at Parkside Restaurant

301 E 6th St, Austin, TX, 78701

The fries at Parkside are good. Quite good. Thin, crisp, and well seasoned. They come with a reasonably tasty garlic aioli. The downside is that the portions are lilliputian. Even the diminutive skillet more…   [1 review]

Seriously, people?!! These are *so* not the best fries in Austin. Au contraire, when I had them last week they were unappealingly flaccid and unevenly cheesed. The green-chile sauce was overcooked to more…   [2 reviews]

Hat Creek Burger Co hand cuts their fries daily & cooks them to order. You'll wait a bit longer than at a regular fast food establishment but oh, that wait is worth it. These are your mama's fries. more…   [1 review]
