FAQs
Are Wendy’s Cheese Fries vegetarian?
Yes, the standard Cheese Fries don’t contain meat, but they’re fried in shared oil with chicken and other meat items, so strict vegetarians should be cautious.
Can I get the cheese sauce on the side?
Yes! Most locations allow you to request it separately to keep your fries crispy until you’re ready to eat.
What’s the difference between Cheese Fries and Chili Cheese Fries?
Cheese Fries have only creamy cheese sauce. Chili Cheese Fries add a scoop of Wendy’s signature beef chili on top, adding protein and spice.
What about Baconator Fries?
Baconator Fries come loaded with Applewood smoked bacon, shredded cheese, and cheese sauce. Even if you remove the bacon, they’re cooked in shared oil with meat products.
Do loaded fries stay crispy during delivery?
No. Cheese, chili, or bacon toppings will naturally soften fries over time. For best texture, enjoy them immediately.
Best pairings?
Fans often pair Cheese or Chili Cheese Fries with a Dave’s Single, Baconator, or a Frosty (chocolate or vanilla) for a sweet-and-salty combo.
