Best French fries! We think they use beef talo to fry them. Sooooo tasty don't even need ketchup

October 31, 2024

Just got the worst fries ever. Used to buy Stan's fries all the time, but lately the fries are soggy and chewy ! Won't be going back.

October 8, 2024

If you like OLD SOGGY SALTY and GREASY fries, then this is your place, u can immediately tell they were sitting there all day. It’s not like how it used to be 12 years ago, never ever goin back!!!

Ever since they went to those round cups their fries have gone down hill they are cutting the potatoes into smaller pieces so they will fit in those small cups. I really enjoyed their fries but not anymore and you're paying a decent price for them. If it doesn't improve I won't be back.

September 12, 2024

The most disgusting fries I have ever had. Overpriced for a cup of soggy, extremely salty, vinegar soaked fries. Not even my grandchildren liked them, and they love fries. They couldn't even finish them. I will never be coming back. I could also tell the oil used was old and stale. Worst fries in Brantford. If I could give zero stars, I would.

My mom took me here as a kid and still today, they’re just as incredible. I don’t live in Brantford but anytime I find myself here, I can’t resist the salty & vinegary goodness. I always ask for extra salt and vinegar. If it’s not swimming, it’s not winning. This spot is cash only and they don’t accept large bills (50s, 100s).

★★★★

Salt and vinegar fries, cans of pop. Fresh-cut fries hot out of the deep frier really can't be beat. No ketchup available; make sure to agree to the vinegar and salt. Delicious! A constant stream of customers to this Brantford institution on a mid-Monday were a confirmation of the excellence of these fries.

Nothing but the best fries in the universe. And a drink. That's it that's all. Gee now if they just serve fries...Why is Stan's always busy? 2:30 on a Sunday...still line up. Yep this place is that good. Since 1950! Looking for a snack as you shop around. Stan's has you covered. No better fries will you eat. Thank you kindly!

Worse fries in a long time, you take hot fries, spay them with vinegar and immediately put them in a sealed plastic bag. You end up with soggy fries in a sweaty plastic bag. Disgusting

Grossly stale oil. The only reason I can imagine anyone buying these fries is for their texture but the oil was so stinky that we couldnt dare have a second one.

Not sure who owns the place, but whoever they are , they shouldnt be telling people what they can and cant put on their fries ..... you are a service to someone , offer some condiments to people that will make their experience better ..... I have to bring ketchup to work with me when I buy fries from stans ....... and let people put on what they want your employees dont know how much i want on my fries ...... and maybe offer something better to eat them with other than a tooth pick ........ Id go there a whole lot more if the owner got off his high horse and let people do what they want to their fries (Went back for dinner and there were metal filings on my fries)

So good. Specially on a cold day

December 21, 2023

Heard nothing but amazing things about Stans. Went there early March 2023. Immediately could smell and tell the oil was old. Fries had a distinct coating and taste of old oil being used. The fries were oil soaked and it was the first time Ive ever thrown out fries in my life .... ever. I will chalk this up to a one-off and try them again for sure, since everyone always says how great they are.

The service, people, and food is amazing. They recently had a small fire, but rose from it tenfold. Super happy theyre by the downtown bus terminal as well, theyre usually busy with travellers. As someone who recently moved to Brantford I can say this place is a staple to the city and Stans Fries has my recommendation hands down!

Fries were cooked and pre packaged (unsure how long they had been sitting there before we placed the order. Tasted terrible, were soggy and lukewarm! Had I not drove away I would have requested a return. Ensure your fries are cooked while you wait!

You should hear how this woman that runs the place talks to her young teenage employee, talks like shes their mother, gets disciplined if they sit down for a second, gets nasty if they have the sniffles, tells them how disgusting it is, absolutley shameful, people like this need exposed, cannot treat young people just coming into the workforce like this, I will post pictures of text messages sent to one of these young employees of this doesnt stop now. When I say disciplined they got fired cause of this womans nastiness its disgusting

Always in the mood for inexpensive French fries, Stan s Fries are good. Prices went up a bit since last year (not much really). Can get a good size small fries for $3.25 and Large for $5.50 and X-tra large for $8.75 (this was on visit on July 10th/2022. Nice vinegar added on request with salt if desired. Been there or exists since 1950. Constant customer flow from repeat customers obviously. Pop available for $1.50 a can. No condiments like ketchup etc. CASH only no debit or credit. Would definitely return when in Brantford, ON again.
