Best French Fries in Bushwick
Master Critic Review
Clara's
8.0
A sports-bar setup that treats fries like a real menu lane, not filler—crispy, well-seasoned, and built to pair with wings and sandwiches. The best move is one fries style (rosemary or loaded) and one main, so the table doesn’t drift into a messy sampler mode.
Must-Try Dishes:
Rosemary fries, Loaded fries, Fried chicken sandwich with fries
Scores:

What makes it special: A bar that runs multiple fry lanes (rosemary, loaded) with real intent.
Who should go: Game-watchers who need reliable fries
When to visit: Weeknights or game nights
What to order: Rosemary fries, loaded fries, wings
Insider tip: If you’re sharing, pick one fries style—loaded or rosemary, not both.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking only; generally manageable on side streets but tight during evening hours and game nights.
Dress code: Casual and relaxed—jeans, sneakers, and game-day gear are all common.
Noise level: Loud during games and peak hours—fine for group conversation, not ideal for quiet one-on-one talks.
Weekend wait: 20–40 minutes during game nights; shorter if you arrive early or sit at the bar.
Weekday lunch: Typically no wait or very short wait.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—fries and several sides work well, plus a few vegetarian-friendly mains.
Vegan options: Limited—plain or rosemary fries can work, but confirm preparation details.
Gluten-free options: Limited—some items may qualify, but cross-contamination is possible in a shared kitchen.
Best For
Better for: Fries that actually hold their own in a sports-bar setting and pair well with wings and sandwiches.
Skip if: You want a quiet meal or a fries-only destination without the bar-and-TV atmosphere.
