The Eatsie Boys hot blanch method results in great fry texture
| Gary R Wise

Building on last Friday's Open Thread, here are 10 Houston restaurant that serve great fries. While fresh-cut, twice-fried potatoes aren't a requirement to earn a place in the hearts of Eater Houston's readers, it certainly doesn't hurt. Looking for something completely different? Consider the Tex-Cajun fries at BB's Cafe; they're topped with roast beef, gravy and chile con queso. That's Houston-style fusion done right.

Eatsie Boys Cafe

Copy Link
Chef Matt Marcus uses a hot blanch followed by a quick fry to produce fries with a soft interior and a crispy exterior. They're topped with sea salt and parsley.

Little Bigs

Copy Link
Bryan Caswell's slider shop produces perfectly seasoned, twice-fried French fries. An utterly massive serving is only about $2.

Koagie Hots

Koagie Hots is the exception to how tiresome food trucks serving meat on fries has become. The truck-made kimchi adds an addicitive, spicy kick that's balanced by the mayo served with each order.

Mockingbird Bistro

Copy Link
Mockingbird's Belgian-style truffled frites are the perfect companion to the restaurant's iconic burger.

Bernie's Burger Bus

Copy Link
Hand-cut potatoes, fried twice and serve piping hot. Topping them with chili and cheese may decrease their crispiness, but they're a delicious meal by themselves.

Houston's Restaurant

Copy Link
Thin, crispy and served piping hot, the fries at Houston's may not have the soft inner texture of thicker specimens, but the seasoning is just right.

Sammy's Wild Game Grill

Copy Link
Fresh cut fries topped with bacon, cheese, chives and a fried egg. Yes, please.

BB's Cajun Cafe

Copy Link
BB's offers a Cajun riff on the classic Canadian dish poutine. The Tex-Cajun fries are topped with roast beef, gravy and chile con queso.

Hubcap Grill & Beer Yard

Copy Link
Hubcap's 19th Street location has a whole menu of fry options beyond regular potato and sweet potato. The stinky fries, topped with malt vinegar and sauteed garlic, are particularly delicious.

Little Bitty Burger Barn

Copy Link
Little Bitty's jalapeno cheese fries are basically potato nachos. Ain't nothing wrong with that.
