Pommes Frites isn't an ordinary shop, but a specialty shop serving authentic Belgian fries (pommes frites). Premium fresh double fried potatoes, crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. For years Europeans have been eating their fries with everything but ketchup and now Americans may also have the best crispy fried potatoes with their choice of sauce & exotic mustards and mayonnaise, or drowned in vinegar, curry sauce, or even with a peanut satay sauce. Toppings include everything from the familiar to the exotic, and is limited only by imagination with over 30 sauces and toppings to choose from. Pommes Frites has been rated #1 by Citysearch users as the Best Cheap Eats establishment 3 years in a row!!

Editorial Review for Pommes Frites – by Adam Rapaport

In Short
On a good day, this tiny East Village storefront goes through more than 1,000 pounds of potatoes. Folks line up for a cone filled with fries and loaded up with one or two of the 26 toppings. Authentically Belgian, the fries here are hand-cut and twice-fried, but the dippings span the globe: roasted garlic mayonnaise, satay peanut sauce and the complimentary house-special mayonnaise, ketchup and raw onions.

Walking up to the spot the line outside was intimidating. Even though it was long it moved quite quickly. The sauces were worth the wait. Great place to go after you leave a club or lounge just for a snack at 1am.

Pros: sauces

Cons: line

What else can I say? The fries are made fresh. Not fresh from a frozen package, but fresh as in the potatoes are cut right in front of you. The staff is friendly and efficient. They try to make the wait as short as possible without being pushy and they let you sample the sauces. As for the sauces, try them all. I have yet to come across a bad one. Nothing beats walking through the village, hangin with friends eating a cone of fries! It does get crowded and seating is limited, but don't let that stop you from going! Its soo worth it!

Pros: Great fries, open late.

Cons: It's almost always crowded, but that's cause its so good!
