I take my French fries very seriously, so let me save you the work and tell you my Top 5 places to get French Fries in San Francisco:

1) Trick Dog – Thrice Cooked French Fries!  Also, a creative drink menu that changes regularly. The current menu was designed by tattoo artist Idle Hand. Fat French fries are not normally my favorite, but these are perfectly crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. I mean really, look these….

2) Café Claude – My husband and I love to get their soup of the day, which is always seasonal and delicious, and share an order of the pommes frites, which are shoestring style. The setting is tucked away on Claude Lane, and the perfect place to duck out of the Union Square shopping crowds for a little touch of France.

3)Beep’s Burgers – I’m embarrassed to say that I lived a short walk from Beep’s for several years before discovering this neighborhood gem which has been there since 1962. Yes, the burgers are fantastic, but do not miss the curly fries!

4) Southern Pacific Brewing – I’m sure that most people come here for the range of excellent brews, but I’m all about the Sage Fries!

5) Chez Maman – When you’re in the mood to mix a little high and low, head to Chez Maman for their French Fries with Aioli Sauce, and pair it with a Kir Royale. Cheers!
