Fries from Hyde Park.
| Hyde Park Bar & Grill

While burgers are great and all, fries aren’t to be ignored. The greasy side comes in all forms: shoestring to wedges, long to short, crispy to soft, topped with spices and herbs and cheese, paired with all sorts of dips and sauces. The potato sticks can even work as main dishes, too.

In Austin, the very best fries can be found throughout the city. There are iconic ones from Hyde Park Bar & Grill, sugary sweet fried potatoes at Workhorse Bar, shoestring fries from Clark’s Oyster Bar, beef fat-fries ones at Dai Due, cheesesteak-topped baskets from R&B’s Steak and Fries, and many more.

Pair those fries with burgers and sandwiches, plus fish and chips.
