Arby's Curly Fries

About the Curly Fries

Arby's Curly Fries open at $2.29 in a Small, with 550 cal in a Large order. Arby's sums them up in three short lines: potatoes, the meats of the field, sliced up curly and fried to perfection. Few fast food sides are as easy to recognize from across the table.

The shape does most of the work. Each potato gets cut into a long spiral, so a single fry twists into springy loops that stack and tangle in the carton. Thin sections crisp up fast and turn almost crackly, while the thicker bends stay soft and fluffy inside. That mix means every handful lands a different texture. The outside fries to a deep orange gold, and the spirals catch dipping sauce in their curves better than a straight fry ever could.

You can order four sizes: Small, Medium, Large or XL. Calories climb with each step, so check the size before you count. For a Large, Arby's lists 29 grams of fat, 65 grams of carbs, 6 grams of fiber and 1,250 milligrams of sodium, with 6 grams of protein. People tracking Curly Fries calories usually stick with a Small, which runs well under half the Large figure.

The Curly Fries price on the board at an Austin Arby's begins at $2.29 and rises by size, with the XL topping the list. Since franchise stores set their own boards, the exact amount at your Arby's can shift a little. The fries also appear on the value menu, so the Small stays one of the cheapest items Arby's sells.

These fries suit almost every order. Kids pull the curls apart and eat them one loop at a time, road trippers keep a Large on the console, and late night drive thru regulars treat an XL as a meal on its own. Compared with the straight cut Crinkle Fries, curlies feel more playful and give more crunchy ends per serving.

Find every other side on the Arby's sides menu. For a classic pairing, order the curlies next to a Classic Beef 'n Cheddar; the warm cheddar sauce from the sandwich doubles as a dip. A Jamocha Shake makes a sweet and salty contrast if you like dunking fries in a shake.
