Best French Fries in Niles
Master Critic Review
FRY Chicken 'n Fries
7.9
A halal fried-chicken shop where fries are treated as a feature, not filler—especially the loaded fries builds. The cleanest experience is to choose one chicken format and one fries format so the textures stay crisp and focused.

Loaded Fries, Curly Fries, Chicken Tenders (with fries)
