Critical Assessments
“One visits McCarthy's Restaurant for the atmosphere and departs thinking only of the fries. The crinkle cut is executed with a steadiness suggesting neither haste nor contemplation — only the correct application of heat and timing. The crispness is commendable and largely sustained. The potato is present and largely coherent. The grease is generous in the manner of a host who means it. One recommends not visiting for the atmosphere. The experience is brief and exact, like most things worth having.”

The potato flavor is present and largely coherent. The portion is restrained. The informed visitor is correct. In the final accounting, the fries are the only item that matters. McCarthy's Restaurant knows this.”

An adequate entry in a crowded field. One visits with calibrated expectations.
