Critical Assessments

The fry at Uptown Chip does not call attention to itself. It does not need to. The thick-cut format is executed with a precision that suggests long practice and very few shortcuts. The crispness is commendable and largely sustained. The potato flavor is earnest and specific. One finds, upon reflection, that the fries were the correct decision. One does not return. This information is provided without judgment.

G. Montrose·May 2022

In a city of approximately eight million opinions about french fries, Uptown Chip has one of its own. The thick-cut fry is double-fried in sunflower. The crispness is commendable and largely sustained. The potato flavor is earnest and specific. The grease is generous in the manner of a host who means it. The portion is forthcoming. One visits once and thereafter considers the matter settled. One proceeds. One is glad one did.

Christina's Note

A reliable establishment. One returns without needing a reason.
