From thick-cut steak fries to crispy shoestrings and poutine doused in gravy and cheese, fries come in thousands of mouthwatering varieties.

No longer just a side dish, great fries deserve recognition in their own right. So we consulted expert reviews and local recommendations to find the true standouts from every state.

ALABAMA: Despite the upscale vibe of this Birmingham brasserie, Chez Fonfon's classic French fries are a hard menu item to beat. But here's the catch: You have to order a croque or hamburger to get them, as they aren't offered as a standalone side.

ALASKA: What's the perfect complement for one of International House of Hotdogs' gourmet dogs? Cilantro fries, of course. This Anchorage favorite not only serves the best hot dogs in town, but crispy, flavorful fries to match.

ARIZONA: You'll feel like a kid again at Zinburger, where you're encouraged to indulge in grown-up versions of childhood favorites like burgers, shakes and, of course, fries, including truffle, zucchini, and sweet potato varieties. Originally opened in Phoenix, there are now locations across Arizona.

ARKANSAS: Between the house fries, sweet potato fries, and truffle garlic herb fries, Big Orange in Little Rock has the perfect fry for every burger on the menu. You have to order fries separately from your meal, but it's well worth the extra expense.

CALIFORNIA: You can't leave LA's street-food-inspired eatery, Spitz, without trying an order of the street cart fries. Loaded with garlic aioli, feta, onion, green pepper, olives, tomato, and pepperoncini, they're both savory and decadent.
