We all know the Pavlovian response when visiting South Charlotte’s What The Fries is to order — well, fries, of course.
And now, What The Fries chefs and owners Jamie Barnes and Gregory “Greg” Williams have made your menu selections a bit more complicated with the addition of several new menu items. Let’s just say: arrive hungry.
Here’s a breakdown of the new dishes:
Clam Chowder Soup: House-made classic clam chowder soup with crispy clams and toasted brioche points. $8
Clam Chowder Fries: Hand-cut fries topped with house-made clam chowder and crispy clams. $16
Shrimp Po Boy: Fried shrimp, lettuce, tomato, house-made pickles and Yum Yum remoulade on a toasted hoagie. $14
Cheeseburger Quesadilla: A cheeseburger and hand-cut fries inside a quesadilla topped with scallions and served with sour cream. $10 (This dish got a shoutout from CharlotteFive reporter Brent Peters in his recent guide to Charlotte’s best cheap meals.)
Rotating Specials: Keep your eyes out for new weekly dishes. Special bread pudding and milkshake flavors are featured regularly. The fall bread pudding flavor is Apple Cinnamon Crunch.
