French FRYowa – Who Has the Best Fries in Eastern Iowa?
Happy National French Fry Day! In honor of today's holiday, let's take a look at some of the delicious fries you can find here in the Corridor.
If you're on the hunt for some amazing French fries, I would recommend starting at Gianna's Italian Beef in Cedar Rapids. They are my absolute favorite! And, I'm not the only one who loves the fries there! Facebook user Renee Carter Walker said on my post:
"Gianna's are the best - with a cup of cheese sauce for dipping!"
Another one of my personal favorites is Frydae in Marion. They have all sorts of loaded street fries, including poutine, garlic parm, Nashville hot chicken, Mexican street corn, dill pickle, Buffalo chicken mac, and more!
And, I think we need to talk about how good the bacon cheese fries at Rock Bar in Downtown Cedar Rapids are. They are RIDICULOUSLY delicious!
