Wendy’s New French Fries Review
Wendy’s recently updated their French fries, adding natural cuts with skin and aiming for a hotter, crispier fry. On first look, the change is subtle—fries appear similar to the previous version, and even some staff were unaware of the update.
Taste & Texture
The fries are slightly crispier than before and hold up well for dipping, especially in a Frosty. However, the overall flavor is underwhelming and doesn’t surpass classic favorites like McDonald’s, Checkers, or Arby’s fries. The “hot and crispy” claim is mostly in texture rather than taste.
Overall Experience
While a minor improvement in crispiness, these fries aren’t a game-changer. They remain a decent side to Wendy’s meals, especially for dipping into Frosties, but are far from revolutionary. Still, they’re better than Burger King’s fries, which consistently rank at the bottom.
Rating
6.5/10 – Decent, but not remarkable.
