French Fries
$2.59-$4.59 | 210-470 Cal
Wendy’s natural-cut fries are made from real Russet potatoes. Unlike many competitors, Wendy’s keeps the skin on to enhance the flavor and texture. They are specifically engineered with a light batter coating to help them retain heat and maintain their crispiness for a longer period, making them ideal for both dine-in and delivery.
