| Idora Park French Fries |
However, surprisingly, the Boardman, Ohio Sandwich Factory on Market Street comes close. (I know, I was just as surprised as you) On a whim, I ordered a standard order of fries along with my sandwich. The cost was $2.50 for the fries.
When I got the fries home, I opened them and spilled them out. For $2.50, the order was adequate. They were hot and just crunchy enough, lightly salted and they smelled good. (Sometimes when fries are cooked in old grease, they have a bad odor to them. Not these fries) The taste was very good. Not Idora Park quality, but good nonetheless.
The Grassy Knoll Diner scores 4 out of 5 shots and recommends Sandwich Factory Fries for lunch and dinner.

Was the airplane ride over the fry stand or just near it? Even the vinegar was better at Idora,say nothing of the stale baked boston bean cand nut from the arcade.

Yes, just off to the side of th silver planes. Ahh, the Penny Arcade. I guess today, it would be renamed, the Dollar Arcade. Those fries were good.

I think Idora park fries are a myth. They never existed.

They look tasty. I like them slightly darker than regular. But I’m more into British-style thick fries (called “chips” over there).

Yes, I love chips. Rosie O’Grady’s Irish restaurant in New York City has fantastic chips, and great fish as well.
