Superdawg, Wheeling

The Quintessential Fries Experience
When you need a comfort food fix, Superdawg (Wheeling) is the ultimate old-school drive-in destination. Their side for the legendary hot “dawgs” is literally trademarked as Superfries™! Fred’s Garage (Winnetka) serves up fries that also nail the perfectly crispy, nicely salted mark alongside their Whiskey Barrel Smoked Brisket or their popular Rib Night. For the authentic British style, dowse malted vinegar on your Peckish Pig (Evanston) hot delicious Cod Fish & Chips. True Texas style barbecue at Pit & Tap (Wilmette) doesn’t skimp on their regular fries, but you can step it up for the Pit Poutine, slathered with cheese sauce, pulled pork, and house BBQ sauce.
 

L. Woods Tap & Pine Lodge, Lincolnwood

Savoring the Simplicity of Classic Fries
The Shake Shack’s (Skokie) crinkle cut fries are the ideal complement for their burgers and chicken sandwiches (though no one would judge if you dunk them in a shake, too). Channeling a Northwoods Supper Club, L. Woods Tap & Pine Lodge (Lincolnwood) partners fresh-cut fries with stand-outs like their Barbeque Brisket Burger. Hackney’s on Lake (Glenview) does it old-school with the perfect side to their Famous Hackneyburger® or the fish and chips.

Edzo's Burger Shop, Evanston

Say “Cheese Fries!”
If you like to bury your ‘taters in ooey-gooey deliciousness, Edzo’s Burger Shop (Evanston) has some of the best Cheese Fries around to match their fresh-ground burgers. It’s also practically Fries Heaven with options like Garlic Fries, Truffle Fries, and Angry Fries for the hot crowd. Dengeo’s (Skokie) is popular for Greek and American favorites. But rumor has it they have dynamite cheese fries with the melted cheese drizzled alllll over. Grill House (Northbrook) puts a spin on the shape and flavor with Spicy Feta Waffle Fries. Another winner: those waffle fries slathered in Merkts finest Wisconsin cheddar. 
 

Guildhall, Glencoe

Primo Potato Variations
Head to Cross-Rhodes (Evanston) for their tasty Greek Fries, steak fries topped with their unique white wine, lemon, and herb sauce, or Maria Fries with crumbled feta. Guildhall (Glencoe) will thrill your tastebuds with the flavor of their Truffle Fries served with jalapeño aioli.
 

Morton's the Steakhouse, Northbrook

Tasty Twists on the Classics

On the other hand, Morton’s The Steakhouse (Northbrook) is classic for a reason. Accompany your unbeatable Filet Mignon or Lobster Tail (or even Taco Tuesday) with Matchstick Parmesan & Truffle Fries.
 

Stacked & Folded Social House, Evanston & Winnetka

A Different Take on Taters
Now that you’ve had them straight-up, blanketed, and re-invented, your next spud run needs to include Stacked & Folded Social House (Evanston) with delectable Tater Tots and Sweet Potato Fries for hand-helds like the Kobe Bacon & Brie Burger. Tap House Grill (Wheeling) defies tradition with Loaded Tater “Totchos” where — in addition to lettuce, tomatoes, green onions, and sour cream — crispy tots are crowned with their Tap House Lager Chili, housemade Merkts cheddar cheese sauce, and corn salsa.
 

Bluestone, Evanston

Tots and Taters Reinvented
Bluestone (Evanston) heats things up with Loaded Tots emblazoned with chorizo, cheddar-jack cheese, sour cream, green onions, and  jalapenos. For a restorative day-after, get the Hangover Burrito at Fatpour Tapworks (Lincolnwood) with the scrambled eggs, tater tots, queso sauce, pickled red onion, tomato, jalapeño, and crumbled sausage, plus a side of …would you believe… more golden breakfast potatoes.
