Drive-thru, who? Keep it local for the best french fries. Valley Burger Co. (1004 Menomonie St., Eau Claire; 128 W. River St., Chippewa Falls) is a can’t-miss spot for burgers, but their fresh fries with addicting sauce are eager to steal the show. When you’re in the mood for a unique dining experience, Together Farms (W93 Norden Rd., Mondovi) has the best, crispy fries to accompany their showstopping burgers - well worth the drive. When you can’t decide between a gyro and fries, get both at Gyro King Restaurant & Cafe (320 Water St., Eau Claire) with their loaded fries topped with everything you’d expect to find inside a gyro. —Briana Novacek
