When it comes to fries from Chick-fil-A and McDonald's, the competition is fierce. An Instagram fan of Chick-fil-A fries wrote a rave review of Chick-fil-A's offering last month. "I used to think McDonald's had the best fries. Then I tried the Waffle Fries at Chick-fil-A with their bar-b-q sauce to dip in and that did it," they said. However, McDonald's still rates very highly for many folks. 

According to Thrillist, McDonald's still beats Chick-fil-A when it comes to fries.
