Pittsburghers know good food. When it comes to the best French fries in Pittsburgh, we all have our own opinion. Not too long ago, most of us would probably have agreed that The O, hands down, served the best fries in Pittsburgh. Today, with the closing of the popular Oakland eatery, the torch may have been passed to The Potato Patch.

Taste is certainly subjective, and plenty of Pittsburgh restaurants – from Primanti Brothers to Wingharts – have craving-worthy French fries that always hit the spot when we’re hungry.
