Fries are so often seen as second to the main course, and there are plenty of restaurants that just serve standard, frozen-from-the-bag fries in Delaware. Well, if you're a fry aficionado, you no longer have to settle for potato mediocrity - dining at these dozen Delaware spots will have you wondering how you ever put up with lousy, soggy french fries in the first place.
Please note, 33 West is temporarily closed.

Please note, The Gate House is no longer in business.
The Gate House in Lewes serves my favorite truffle fries in Delaware, mostly because they do the whole small-fry thing right. I'm not a fan of gigantic steak fries that are more like potato wedges, and The Gate House found the perfect potato-to-edge ratio here. Plus, they're not overwhelmingly truffly, like so many of their rivals. 109 W Market St

33 West in Dover is the place to go for poutine in Kent County. They really do it up - try the braised beef poutine for a fry dish that'll leave you so full, and so happy.33 W Loockerman St

Of course, Delaware's best fish and chips spot would have some amazing, uh, chips. The British take on fries is pretty classic and pretty standard - and absolutely delicious.18388 Coastal Hwy

Matt's Fish Camp serves Crabby Fries that are out of this world! Just look at the photo above and tell me your mouth isn't watering... an order (or two) of these is all I'd really need for a perfect lunch or dinner. If you're looking for some amazing seafood fries in Delaware, you've found the spot. 34401 Tenley Ct

Two Stones Pub is regularly voted as the spot with the Best Fries in Delaware, and when you try their specialities, like the spicy sweet potato fries pictured above, you'll immediatley understand why.2 Chesmar Plz Newark, DE 19713

The Keg Fries at Stone Balloon Ale House will have you coming back again and again. This main street pub is one of the more upscale places on our list, but I would still go there just to down an order of these gooey potatoes on my own.115 E Main St Newark, Delaware

Please note, World Cafe Live no longer operates out of The Queen.
Yeah, World Cafe Live is mainly a music venue, but they take their fries so seriously that there's no way I was leaving them out. Unbelievable eggplant fries are my favorite, but they also completely dominated the sweet potato fry trend with their perfectly crisp, perfectly salted take on the side. Oh, and their white truffle oil fries were named best in Delaware by Delaware Today's upstate editors.500 N Market St

Ulysses constantly surprises me, because this little strip mall gastropub just pulls out amazing dish after amazing dish. Their cheese curd poutine is no exception - it's reminiscinent of poutine I've eaten in Montreal and Madison, WI.1716 Marsh Rd, Wilmington, DE 19810

14 Global is a little tapas place in Bethany Beach, and their truffle fries are one of the most frequently ordered small plates. They're so well cut, seasoned and fried, that it's no surprise that almost every review of 14 Global praised their take on some deliciously truffly potatoes.14 N Pennsylvania Ave

Vinegar and fries are the best possible combination, and D.B.'s gets is SO right. There's other food on the menu, but I always just end up with a large bucket of fries and a small amount of regret when I finish the entire thing by myself.100 Garfield Pkwy

The Cottage Cafe is known for their Dune Fries, which are loaded with bacon, chives and cheese. They're SO good, and the absolute best thing to stuff your face with if you need to recover from a wild night in Dewey.Edit

The Pickled Pig Pub in Rehoboth Beach makes incredible poutine, too, and the fries that accompany the gravy and cheese are always crispy and salted perfectly. The Pub features all sorts of amazing cheeses, too, which go well with any of their fry dishes.18756 Coastal Hwy #3, Rehoboth Beach, DE 19971
