Fries have long been a staple in the American diet, and generally are one of the first comfort foods that comes to mind, on the same list with a big bowl of mac and cheese or a giant hot fudge sundae. Here in the Natural State, we have our pick of places to get amazing French fries. Whether you smother them in gravy, cover them with chili and cheese, or dip them in ketchup, we all love French fries. We definitely love driving the AR roads in a 2021 Chrysler Pacifica van and tracking down a big basket of hot French fries in the areas near our Lewis Automotive Group dealerships. NWA has a ton of options near our new and used car dealerships with used RAM trucks for sale and the 2022 Ford Maverick hybrid pickup, but we wanted a complete list so we scoured reviews for restaurants in the whole state of Arkansas. Here are our picks for some of the best places to find French fries in Arkansas:
1. The Big Orange, Little Rock, AR
The Big Orange has some of the best fries in Central Arkansas. Choose between house fries, state fair fries topped with chili and cheese, truffle-garlic-herb fries, or sweet potato fries served with mango-curry ketchup.

The Catsavis family opened this popular Fort Smith restaurant in 1982. George’s is most known for its burgers and homemade French fries. Guests can order these locally famous fries plain, smothered in cheese, or covered in gravy.
