Don't worry if you're 10th in line—you'll probably have your fries in your hands within a few minutes. And the fries are worth it. Crispy around the ends, soft and tasty in the middle, and served hot and fresh. Once you get your order, just add your favorite condiments waiting right there for you and enjoy. Great fries, fast service, and exactly what you want from a boardwalk favorite.

They taste like they were cooked by angels and rained down from heaven. Some of the best memories happened here with my family on the boardwalk in the summer. Please keep your tradition going and never ever close up. Thank you for existing and God bless <3
