Happy National French Fry Day! Whether you like them thick and potato-ey or thin and ultra-crispy, today we pay homage to the tried-and-true, fast-food fixture.

Instead of doing a roundup of traditional french fries, we decided to up the ante and focus on loaded fries. So, bring on the bacon, truffle, feta cheese and more — feast your eyes on these craveable creations.

Aloha Beer Co.

Aloha Beer Co. (various locations) is known for its craft beers and cocktails, but the restaurant also features a delicious food menu, ranging from pulled pork nachos and Bavarian-style soft pretzels to pizzas, crispy fish sandwiches and more.

The business’s Kakaako location (700 Queen St.) offers delicious waffle-cut fries — served with a creamy chipotle mayo dip — but go for one of the loaded options. Bacon fondue fries feature steak fries topped with Swiss fondue, scallions and crispy bacon, while Japanese curry fries come with housemade kimchi and scallions. Salted steak fries with ketchup are also available for fry purists.

Chubbies Burgers

Classic smash burgers and cheeseburgers are all the rage at Chubbies Burgers (1145C 12th Ave.), which recently moved to the Kaimuki neighborhood. But don’t pass up the eatery’s fries — those signature crinkle cut, crispy fries never disappoint.

If you want something super loaded, get the bacon fries, which feature crinkle cut fries topped with bacon, pepper jack, jalapeño aioli, green onions and pickled red onions. Or, go for the Chub fries, the business’s specialty item that comes with grilled onions, cheddar and specialty fry sauce.

They’re seasoned with furikake and arare, and served with Asian remoulade for dipping. The Hurricane spice is made with bubu arare and ground furikake. Meanwhile, the Asian remoulade is a blend of tsukemono (pickled cucumbers), garlic chile paste, togarashi, wasabi oil, lemon juice and mayonnaise.
