Fizz serves up both classic fries and sweet potato fries, but what really sets them apart is the impressive selection of dipping sauces. No matter which fry you choose, there's a sauce to match your taste.

If hand-cut fries are your go-to, Oasis deserves a spot on your list. Their fresh-cut fries deliver classic flavor and texture done right.
Small Sliders puts a fun twist on the traditional fry with seasoned waffle fries that remind us of curly fries. Be sure to add a side of queso for dipping.
