Paper Plate

“No fries left behind” should be Paper Plate’s tagline bc their fries are just that delicious, but they also serve burgers so my ad line doesn’t quite work. ha. anyway, came across Paper Plate at Smorgasburg, Williamsburg. the small stand serves a less-is-more menu: burgers, fries, and soft drinks. your eats are made to order so they are served fresh and hot, hot, hot.

ordered the “Plated Fries” —shoestring fries + onions + special sauce. while i regret not ordering a burger from Paper Plate—i sorta don’t bc the French fries were amazing and super-filling—wouldn’t have fully enjoyed those fries with the distraction of a cheeseburger. less is more, often. the fries are crispy, soft inside, not oily. top those fries with onions and special sauce to add creamy savoriness and sweetness to the crispy crunchiness. the Plated Fries are what i imagine delicious simplicity of fries should be. the longevity of the fries staying crunchy and how filling they were…pleasantly surprised me. the Plated fries are a little messy but we’ll worth it. no risk no reward. definitely, have become a fan of Paper Plate after one visit and will definitely be back for their burger. the Plated Fries are $7 + tax + tip

the service was friendly and energetic.
