This eclectic spot serves up international twist on fries, banh mi, and rice bowls, all with a friendly vibe and great takeout options.
"Located at The Rotunda in Baltimore, the compact restaurant was redesigned in 2021 to make it look as if French fries are hanging from the ceiling. Fries with toppings that range from cheese curds, Korean barbecue, and kimchi predictably anchor the menu, but banh mi, po’boys, rice bowls, and chicken wings (or tofu bites for a veg option) are also on tap. The fry shop just expanded to a stall in Camden Yards and is planning to open more franchised locations in the future." - Jess Mayhugh, Eater Staff
"A menu full of gourmet French fries? Yes, please. The Local Fry’s fresh-cut fries come with an array of toppings—from braised short rib to spicy kimchi—inspired by the owners’ travels together. Bring your squad so you can try more than one of their 17+ different varieties. This spot is BYOB and open until midnight most nights, so bring a six-pack of your favorite brew and dig in." - Planit
"Is there a more perfect pre-game treat than French fries doused with cheese curds or BBQ pork poutine? Some of the unique offerings include banh mi fries, topped with mayo, daikon and pickled jalapeno peppers, and kimchi fries, topped with sautéed kimchi, sriracha mayo, cheese and scallions." - Julekha Dash
