Hopleaf Bar
8.6
Vibes:
Business Lunch Power Players
Group Dining Gatherings
Happy Hour Hotspots
Comfort Food Classics
A beer-first Andersonville institution that quietly overdelivers on the burger lane—think a properly charred patty, gooey cheese, and frites that people treat as mandatory. Come hungry and order like a regular: burger + frites, then let the beer list do the rest.
Must-Try Dishes:
Slagel burger, Frites, Mussels
What makes it special: A top-tier beer bar where the burger-and-frites combo is a legit destination order.
#2
Fat Cat
8.1
A lively Uptown bar-kitchen where fries show up as the backbone of the menu—especially when you go the poutine route. The best move is to treat the fries as the main event, then add one shareable and stop before the table turns into a sampler platter.
Must-Try Dishes:
Wings (Carolina mustard), Fried pickle chips, Crispy fried mac and cheese bites
What makes it special: A strong hangout bar where wings fit naturally into the menu.
Worthy Picks
#3
Lucy's
7.9
A counter-service Uptown staple where the fries are the practical, fresh-cut partner to fried chicken and smashburgers. They’re best when they hit the bag hot—pair them with one sandwich, pick one sauce, and keep the order clean.
Must-Try Dishes:
Smashburger, Fried chicken sandwich, Milkshake
What makes it special: A reliable smashburger-and-fried-chicken counter that’s built for repeat orders.
#4
Ragadan
7.8
A small Uptown counter spot that makes fries worth ordering by seasoning them to match its Middle Eastern-inspired sauce play. The fries land best as a side to one burger or falafel sandwich—especially when you add the house combo sauce and keep everything tight.
Must-Try Dishes:
Falafel sandwich, Labneh egg salad sandwich, Baklava milkshake
What makes it special: Falafel-first Jordanian cooking with a fast, modern counter rhythm.
7.7
Vibes:
Date Night Magic
Girls Night Out Approved
Trendy Table Hotspots
Birthday & Celebration Central
A BYOB-friendly Uptown dining room where the fries skew steakhouse-adjacent: crisped hard and built to sit next to grilled proteins. The move is to order a fry-forward plate (or a main with fries) and let the sauces do the extra work.
Must-Try Dishes:
Twice fried french fries, Skirt steak with fries, Fish and chips
What makes it special: Twice-fried fries and steakhouse-style plates in a BYOB room.

Solo Dining Sanctuaries
A fast, no-nonsense dog-and-burger stop where fries are the main reason to add the combo—especially if you like them seasoned. Best as a quick grab-and-go: one dog or slider set, one fry order, and you’re out.
Must-Try Dishes:
Char burger, Slider, Fries
What makes it special: A speed-first char-grilled burger stop that’s built for quick satisfaction.
