Quinn's Lighthouse in Oakland, CA


Beautiful scenery (the Fry Investigators sat outside on the balcony on the water), but sadly, the fries were pathetic. They tasted like pre-cut frozen fries, and were cooked until all life was sucked out of them. Also, how difficult is it to cut your own potatoes? Really, people!

I almost felt like the fries had been served previously in the day, and then were re-fried to heat them and served again, this time to me. Not a very comforting assumption to make.

The fries came with a basket of assorted condiments: Ketchup, mustard, A1 Barbecue Sauce. I think it is important to mention that the Ketchup was Hunt's brand which, like most national brands, is made from: tomato concentrate, high fructose corn syrup, AND corn syrup (because one type of corn syrup is not enough). Maybe it's best not to read the ingredient labels on condiments!

Good portion size for a pretty cheap price, but unfortunately, yukky overall (although I'm not going to lie. I did not leave a fry untouched.)




Price:$2.99
Portion Size: Slightly larger than a Medium
Texture: Hard and over-fried outside with overcooked medium-texture potato inside
Greasiness Level: 4 out of 5 (pretty greasy!)
Seasoning: None
Fried in: Some sort of vegetable oil
Condiments: Choose your own (definitely needs them–these things are hard and crunchy in a yukky overcooked way)

Overall Quality of French Fries: 3 out of 10
