I think the best fries I've ever had are from a place in Ocean City, MD and Rehoboth Beach, DE called Thrasher's Fries. They're made from freshly-cut Idaho potatoes, and served without ketchup. Old Bay seasoning, salt, and vinegar are available though.
The best large chain restaurant fries I've had are the waffle fries at Chick-fil-A. While they are frozen during shipment, they're still consistently good. In terms of small chains in the area where I live, the best fries I can readily get are at a small chain in northern Virginia (and now in DC) called Five Guys. They are also made from fresh potatoes.
After a few Guinness, they're all good.
