management / TripAdvisor If you’re a Mainer you know Dysart’s. A staple of hearty eating, there’s not a lot this place doesn’t do well. But, we can’t help but give special attention to their fries. They come from a farm in Belfast and the curly ones are out of this world. Not into spiral life? Don’t worry, they come in the traditional straight shape as well. They’re located at: 530 Coldbrook Rd. in Hermon / 207-942-6725.

Joe W / TripAdvisor If you’ve heard of this wonderful spot it’s probably because of their poutine. They serve up some of the best in Maine, which means they’re piled with duck confit and duck gravy. Another great option? These polenta fries. Find them at: 2 Government St. in Kittery / 207-703-2294.
- Swamp Buck Restaurant, Fort Kent

Suzi H / TripAdvisor There’s no better place to get fries than in The County! This local favorite has great comfort food, but their fries are what we really love. There’s nothing overtly unique or special about them, aside from how good they are. French Fry purists will be in heaven. And, you can upgrade to a poutine if you’re feeling fancy. Check them out at: 250 W Main St. in Fort Kent / 207-834-3055
