Waffle Potato Fries from Chick-Fil-A
On today’s fast food menu - Waffle Potato Fries from Chick-Fil-A.
What’s a waffle fry? Thick slices of whole potato, with the peel left on, cut into a criss-cross pattern, with little holes in between the rows. The end result are fries that look similar to waffles, hence the name. The unique shapes and varied sizes makes eating a real adventure. You get thin ones, thick ones, big ones, small ones and even a few oddly shaped bits and pieces left-over at the bottom of the package. It’s more exciting than plain, flat, skinny fries that all look the same.
They smell and taste fantastic. In fact, they might have the strongest aroma of natural potatoes, and most ‘pure’ potato taste of any leading fries. If you like real potatoes, you are going to like these waffle fries. The thinner ones are more crispy, while the thick slices have a softer potato center. They’re covered with brown and bumpy ridges, and the holes help provide even-cooking thru-out. The really big ones can sometimes get a little limp and chewy, but it’s not a serious enough problem to be a turn-off.
They come lightly salted, and some people might find it ‘too’ light, but hey — it’s much easier to add more salt, than to take it away. I figure too light is better than too heavy. Personally I like them seasoned just the way they are. Sometimes I even give-in to the immediate temptation, and eat them before I get a chance to open the ketchup.
It’s worth noting these waffle fries are cooked in 100% refined peanut oil. They contain zero grams of trans fat, and no cholestoral. My medium order was 350 calories, with less than half (150) coming from fat. They are also low in sodium.
The Waffle Potato Fries from Chick-Fila-A are excellent. They have a natural and pure potato flavor. They also have enough different shapes, sizes and textures to keep your mouth entertained, and they are just downright delicious. Get some!

I Love Chick-Fil-A!! I just wish they were in NYC and Long Island!!
Hello there Burger guy!
I continue to be impressed with Chick-Fil-A. They have great food of course, but they also have nice clean stores, and well trained polite employees
If I made a short-list of best overall fast food restaurants, they would definitely be on it. I feel bad for folks who don’t have locations in their city/state.
Anybody notice that the Nutrition Facts box is labeled “Arby’s Crispy Chicken Bacon and Swiss Sandwich?”
OOPS…. This is why it’s important to sleep.
My error has now been fixed.
Thank you O.G.
For anyone who has access to both a Chick-Fil-A and a Carl’s Jr: how do these compare to Carl’s Jr.’s CrissCut fries?
