Best Fries
Skin-on fries, Railhead, Fort Worth and Willow Park
Best of DFW: Find out which fries are worth the trip to the drive-through.

You won't need salt or pepper for the perfectly seasoned fries at Railhead (though a little barbecue sauce on top tastes just fine).
Find it: 2900 Montgomery St., Fort Worth; 817-738-9808; www.railheadonline.com
120 S. Ranch House Rd., Willow Park, 817-441-2525; www.railheadbbq.net
The dish:Longish and on the skinny side, these skins-on babies come tucked inside an old-fashioned paper envelope, surrounded by a tangle of grilled onion tendrils. Perfectly seasoned, you won’t need salt or pepper (though a little barbecue sauce on top tastes just fine). The fries are worth to trip to the drive-through alone. Ever better, though, is when they’re paired with an ice-cold beer and a warm afternoon on the patio.
Don't wander away without also trying: The Railhead is rightly famous for its ribs, but keep in mind that said ribs don’t last all evening. Smart people get there by 7 p.m. at the latest or risk being told, “We’re out for the day.”
You should know: Weekend crowds can be completely insane at the Fort Worth shop, so plan accordingly.
Honorable mentions: L’Ancestral, Dallas; Café Modern, Fort Worth; Tillman’s, Dallas
