The fries were fried perfectly. The girl was nice and it's a small tiny storefront. Hipster vibes ..
I was at an event recently who used the Friskie Fries food truck. There were some really interesting choices of "dressed" french fries I opted for the Tiger King (General Tso's chicken, mandarin oranges and scallions). The fries were crispy and well done. There were only three little pieces of chicken on the dish, but they were very tasty. Overall a good choice for a quick meal where you get fries and something else on top.
We found this place in Downtown, Providence Rhode Island. This spot is an about a 5 minute walk from Johnson and Wales. We order three different types to try and shared them all. The best was the Buffalo Chicken Friskie Fries. Boneless chicken bites, lots of blue cheese dressing and crumbles and of course hot sauce. The second was the Steak and Cheese, they were very tasty. My wife really enjoyed the Loaded Potato Fries, she put some the malt vinegar on them and it was really good. We were greeted immediately by friendly staff. I thought the price for the beverages were a bit much. $3.22 for a can of soda is a bit excessive. Definitely worth a try if you're in the area looking for a quick snack.
The food was VERY good! Definitely try at least once. This location is super small, no indoor seating, just picnic tables outside. Super fast service. My only complaint is that it is super pricey. Water/soda shouldnt be $3/can. And four orders of fries shouldnt have been $50.
If you're looking for a healthy, low calorie dish, you won't find it here! However, if you're looking for a crispy, tasty, treat, you've arrived at the right place. Friskie Fries used to operate out of a food truck and has now expanded to 5 retail locations, 4 in Rhode Island and 1 in Massachusetts. We've visited their Providence location a few times, it's very small and very popular (pre-coronavirus). The fries always come out piping hot, and they layer their ingredients, so they are not just on top, but integrated throughout the box of fries. On this visit, we were at their Johnston, RI location, which is even smaller than the Providence venue. It was curbside delivery, and we sat at the solitary picnic table on the side of the building. We ordered Buck Naked Fries with Sea Salt, Philly Cheese Steak Fries, and Poutine with Handmade Vermont Cheddar Curd and Brown Gravy Fries. I'm going to share a secret with everyone in this review. If you take lots of hot, crispy fries and add cheddar, curds, salt or gravy to them, they are likely to taste great! And these did not disappoint. As an aside, certain ingredients can make some of the fries a little soggy, but I think that's a reasonable trade-off and a tasty result. So, if you're seeking a flavor and calorie intensive destination, this would be a great choice. We look forward to a return visit. Note that the very hard-working cook was observing COVID-19 best practices including wearing a mask, allowing only one person or family inside at one-time (to order), and all the patrons we saw in the parking lot were also wearing masks and keeping their distance. Kudos to all.
This is one of those times I wish 3.5 stars was an option. The place is small, but very cool and specializing in French fries and doing it well is a great idea. They offer multiple toppings, seasonings, spices etc and they even have desert fries! I checked this place out for the first time today and it lived up to the hype I heard. I'm not sure how it's been there so long but I had never heard of it before! Fries are great, no doubt. My issue is the size and the price. I wish there was a smaller size you could order at a lower price point, because they are expensive. Especially when you'd like to try multiple flavors. That's about all I can say for now. I'm sure I'll visit again, but it will be a special treat kind of thing for sure. Thanks!!
Fries tasted like dollar store fries that were fried, left out to cool, then refried. Bland, and very expensive. Not much was put on them in terms of toppings. If you include a tip, almost $16! To be fair, their Providence location is a a solid 5 and I've had wonderful experiences there. Update: They reached out and thanked me for the review, offered me a free dressed fry. These folks are very friendly!
I mean what's not to like?! My first encounter with these finely feathered French fry artists was on Federal Hill for the Columbus weekend festivities. The fry truck was out in full force pumping out the freshy fresh. Since there were a bunch of us I got to try several different options. Talk about flavor explosions! Just when I thought fries were one dimensional they busted out the prism of delight! From that time on they had me hooked. This little store front off Killingly is pumping out the same digs hot and fresh. Order, sit in your car and let em bring out the best! My only infraction on the rating is upon entering I was greeted by an employee shoving fries in his face...but I mean, can you blame him! Bon appetite!
These fries are freaking GOOD. Ever crave fries so badly that you don't even care what they taste like? Because I don't. I am picky. If I am going to eat fries, it's only worth it if they're warm, crispy on the outside, and thick with potato on the inside (unlike embarrassingly skinny fries that shouldn't even be called fries). These do the trick. There are plenty of options to choose from, but they really make a killer fry worth eating without anything extra. This is important because it means they don't disguise the taste with anything. Good price for the amount of fries (enough to split between 2 people but not too much to make it ridiculous if you devour a whole order on your own). Great food truck in RI and I will be back again & again.
Stopped by here for a quick bite after a long drive to Rhode Island from NY. The area wasn't the cutest but the shack was and the service was good! We got the old bay dusted fries and the garlic oil and parmesan fries. Both were super hearty and delicious. The fries are THICK and very generously coated. I loved the one with Parmesan. I definitely wished I tried the poutine fries! Can't complain! It was a nice quick and delicious snack stop.
"1$ more for oreo on ur scoop of ice cream that is in a dipping cup" pathetic for the amount you pay. Monday Tuesday deal includes a soda and a scoop of ice cream
Spontaneously decided to visit because I remembered my friend talking about it. I wasn't sure what to expect from this little shack, but I wasn't disappointed! You just can't go wrong with any of their fries! I tried some of the Fowl Play and I got the Disco Dottie and both were really good! My only complaint was that the gravy on the Disco Dottie had that weird "out of the jar" after-taste, but I can't wait go back again!
Omgggg! I loved it there. Food is amazing. I got the street corn and my son got his miss potato head. We both shared the fried ravioli. Food is amazing! Price was average maybe a bit higher than expected but you do get good portions so I can't complain. The Johnston location might be small but I can tell they get busy. There was a line out the door when I was there on a Saturday afternoon. Overall, the food and service were great. read more

Friskie's poutine puts other American attempts to shame! First of all, they do it right, using real cheese curds. The gravy is so brown that I nearly just spelled it "bravy"- please don't take that and make it a new portmanteau food fad, bougie chefs! The fries aren't sweet like traditional poutine fries, but the potatoes Friskie uses are still just fine and the fries have a good crunch to them. I prefer to eat the first few fries off the top and mix the rest up so the cheese melts in with the gravy, but do what you like! Fries are still good the next day but you might need a microwave or oven. Add in a chocolate shake if you're feeling extra friskie (sic). read more

My daughter and I went to the Apple Fest in Johnston over the weekend. Friskie Fries had their food truck there. While I've never been to the Friskie Fries establishment, my daughter had been to the Providence location and she's a big fan of all things Fries so I decided to try them. The menu consisted of maybe 10 choices of toppings, (NY System Weiner style, garlic oil and parmisan style, are a couple I remember). I chose the pulled pork with slaw, with a drizzling of barbeque sauce. They were presented in a cute Chinese food container. I told him I was taking them home to eat later so they packaged it with another Chinese container on top to make it easy to carry. I had them about an hour later once home and I must admit they were pretty delicious. The fries were cooked to perfection, crispy on the outside and nice and tender on the inside. The pulled pork with the slaw and barbecue sauce was very tasty. If you're a french fry lover, give this place a try. I'm glad I did! read more
i've been dying to try friskie fries after seeing a video surface around facebook. and after seeing momos close down and friskie fries plan to open in their spot it made me wanna try them more. boyfriend and i drove to johnston to try them out this past saturday. very small place inside but nonetheless the staff was exceptional and super friendly. i got the alleycat which are fries dressed in garlic, olive oil and parmesan. boyfriend got the cat'l call which had shaved steak with cheddar cheese. so delicious!! the fries were SO crispy! after reading some reviews i was very concerned that the toppings of the fries would only be just that, on the top. my fries were dressed all over. boyfriends was the same but mainly cause we mixed it al around. but even still the give a lot of cheese to mix. they have a lot of different options and i'm definitely excited to try some more! i absolutely love me some good french fries and this place has won me over !! read more

Yes, that is exactly what we needed! French fries any which and every which way you could imagine! They did such a good job with their new space, their first and only brick and mortar location. If you didn't already know, they started off as a food truck and let me tell you, at 2am stumbling out of the club the best and only thing more amazing than those dance moves you even surprised yourself with is an order of Poutine from frisky fries! All of that was all fun and games when I was in my 20's and even early 30s but that is not so much the case Anymore. Knowing that I can have these delicious fried concoctions anytime throughout the year is a huge relief. You see, the food truck is normally parked outside of the bar/club and stumbling on over to get your fried fix is ok when you have been dancing and drinking the night away, but parking down the street, running over to the truck, hoping no one you know sees you all while being in your mid 30s is NOT ok. I got the Poutine, delicious freshly fried French fries covered in a rich brown gravy and cheese curds! This is one of the best original versions I have ever had. My family is from northern Maine so I was raised on Poutine, a good back home Poutine is hard to find, but you my friends... you have given me what I needed! Thank you for opening this location and I hope there are many more to come! read more

First time. Ever since I found out they moved into this location I been looking forward to going to try their Disco Dottie. Poutine. A wondeful tasty dish from our neighbors from the great north. Canada. The service was outstanding. I wish I got her name. Super friendly. Engaging and informative. If you like communal eating elbow to elbow this place is for you. What made things worse was the owner was plopped smack dab in the middle of dining area at the biggest table. Very uncomfortable and wasn't inviting to sit down which I wanted to do. Made worse by such a small layout. Should have copied L+G's layout. Now for the cheese and potatoes. I hope the fries were made on location. They were tremendous. Crispy with pleasant crunch. Properly cooked inside. Very very enjoyable. I would have their fries any time. If the fries are bought I'm staking them out to discover the supplier. Poutine was incredible. Very tasty gravy. Cheese curds could be a bit creamier but very good and were melting nicely. The countainer is a big bust. These dishes need to be served on bigger flater container. The Chinese take out was to deep and difficult to eat from. Biggest problem was no poutine left with more then half of fries still to go. All I wanted was more poutine. A flatter container is an easy fix. At $8.50 this is big issue for me. The dish was also a bit salty at times. I can't wait to go again even if I need to bring my own dish. Food very good. Service outstanding. Everything else easy fixes. If your in the area or you spot a truck definitely worth trying. read more
I have been to the truck and had the Miss Potato Head (Sour Cream, Bacon, Chives and Sharp Cheddar) so I had to stop by the store front for some more fries! I struggled between the Cluck-U (Crispy Chicken, Bufdalo Sauce and Ranch instead of the Blue Cheese it comes with) and swapped at the last minute to the Fowl Play (Chicken, Mozzarella, Parm and Red Sauce). Great call, great combo! My wife got the Cat'l Call (think Philly Cheese Steak) which was also great. Why not mix the fries and the food atbthe beginning of the meal, works for me! read more

Soooo underwhelming, it could be so much more. Big line for the French fries truck, but it moved right along since they had a lady with a clipboard outside of the truck taking orders. I ordered the alleycat fries, which were supposed to be garlic, Parmesan maybe some aoli forget the exact description. they also charge $.75 extra for special sauces. I asked the woman what European mayonnaise was, she replied that it was mayonnaise mixed with different herbs. When I receive my order all I got was a plastic container filled with mayonnaise, plain ass mayonnaise, like they just filled a container with hellmans or maybe Cains, anyways, no herbs. Also I could see into the truck as the guy ripped open a brown paper bag with frozen french fries and poured them in the fryer. Come on Friskies, you can do better than that! Let's get a hand cut French fry, step up your game. Anyone can buy a food truck, order bags of frozen fries and serve it with some hellmans and tell ur customers its European mayo. For $8.75 not worth it at all. One positive thing is that they served them in large Chinese take out containers and have a good portion. read more

Holy poutine fries. Absolutely delicious. I've been to both their food truck and Johnston location. Both same lip licking deliciousness ;). Worst thing ever is when only the top fries have the cheese and gravy, then the bottom is left dry. Not here! They layer all the toppings so each fry is covered in whichever yummy topping you choose. Such a guilty pleasure. Best poutine I've tried so far. read more
