At Papa Friets, we’re more than just a food truck—we’re bringing the rich tradition of Belgian street food to Denver, one crispy, golden fry at a time. Our hand-cut, twice-fried Belgian friets are made using authentic techniques for the perfect crunch and fluffy interior. We serve them hot and fresh with a selection of mouthwatering sauces, alongside classic poutine, savory sausages, and the freshest Wisconsin cheese curds.
What sets us apart? Quality, authenticity, and passion. Every batch of friets is cooked with care, using real potatoes and time-honored methods. Whether you're grabbing a cone of fries on the go or indulging in a hearty, gravy-smothered poutine, we promise a delicious experience that transports you straight to the streets of Belgium.
Come find us and taste the difference! Papa Friets—Belgian-inspired, Denver-made.
History
Established in 2021.
Papa Friets began in 2021 as a humble pop-up at festivals and events in the Chicago area, driven by a love for authentic Belgian street food and a passion for sharing it with others. Our hand-cut, twice-fried friets quickly gained a following, leading us to expand into a full-fledged food truck.
After nearly two years of serving up crispy, golden fries and rich, savory poutine to the Midwest, we made the move to Denver, Colorado, bringing our dedication to quality and flavor with us. While the city has changed, our commitment remains the same—serving up the best Belgian-inspired comfort food, made fresh with care.
From festival pop-ups to a food truck staple, our journey is just getting started. Come taste what we’re all about!
Meet the Business Owner: Alex C.
Born in the Midwest and raised in Colorado, I’ve always had a passion for great food and the sense of community it creates. My journey led me to Chicago, where I trained and honed my skills in the city’s vibrant food scene. It was there that I fell in love with the art of Belgian-style friets—hand-cut, twice-fried, and served hot with bold, flavorful toppings.
In 2021, I launched Papa Friets as a pop-up at festivals around Chicago, bringing authentic Belgian street food to hungry crowds. After nearly two years, I made the move back to Denver, excited to share my love for crispy, golden friets, rich poutine, and savory sausages with my home state.
