The WORST FRIES I've EVER HAD. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY. Cheese wiz quality on a few waffle fries. So to summarize: crap ingredients, a few bacon bits, green onion (what the heck!???) horrible cheese randomly thrown on. This is not the frites that I had previously at Nats Park. They used to be string fries and really well done. What the hell happened???!!!! read more

Box Frites - a sandwich and french fries - Hot Dogs Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

The fries were pretty good. Ordered the large Garlic Parmesan fries with two dipping sauces - the buffalo blue cheese and curry dip. Wow, I loved these dipping sauces. The buffalo blue cheese is spicy but so good. Danny Myers is taking over Nats park with Shake Shack, Box Frites and Blue smoke. Also ate the BLT dog. A little pricey for $6.75 but it was really good. You can't go wrong with bacon! read more

Expensive, but delicious. Great little options to give variation to typical ball park food choices. A helpful note: it's located on the second floor, so you'll have to venture to find it if you're not on that level. Highly recommend the fries, but the hot dogs are not as great.. read more

Box Frites - Hot Dogs Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Ordered ONE Goose Isand beer at Nationals ballpark in DC on July 29 8:40 pm, and noticed that server was charging me for TWO. When I pointed it out, she said she would fix it. But I checked my CITI VISA card today, it was 2 beers for $35.75!! Will dispute charge with VISA. Lesson: ALWAYS ask for written receipt at these concession stands. BTW I noticed 8 employees at this stand with nothing to do, but they were partying! Service at many Nationals concessions is dreadful, the exception being Shake Shack. read more

The garlic frites taste like frites with garlic on them. The chicken poppers taste like boring chicken poppers. The taste is in the sauces that they give you. Oh, wait the sauce (singular) they give you. I ordered 2 products that need "dipping" at $9.50 per, and I only get 1 sauce? So, to save $1.75 I have to order my fries with sauce, and then get back in line and order my chicken poppers with my 1 sauce? It isn't even the fact that they're bilking me out of another $1.75 it's the blank stares that I get from the server when I ask why I wouldn't get my 1 sauce per item. That, by the way, was a different blank stare from the one 1 got when I attempted to pay with my e-cash card. You know, the thing that the stadium pushes as a huge plus for season ticket holders that most servers in the stadium don't know how to work. I know, grumble, grumble. The service in this stadium is hit and miss, game to game. This was a miss. read more

7/21 Nats vs Braves 1:00pm 1 Large Sweet Potato Garlic Frites $9.50 Surprisingly, they were pretty crispy even though sweet potatoes are generally harder to crisp than regular potatoes. If the large size was $2 cheaper, I would have given them 4-stars. I will try again next time, but only because I want to try the dipping sauces. read more

Too expensive for what you get. They dropped a couple of my chicken tenders on the ground and when I asked that they be replaced they said they couldn't do that and they come all in one. I was pissed that they couldn't even replace what they dropped and they didn't even reduced the price either!! Ridiculous. read more

if you follow my reviews or have ever had a conversation with me about food, you'll likely know that i will never stop loving french fries. so imagine my excitement level skyrocket as i was going to be at nationals park for the opening of box frites:: a concession stand devoted entirely to my beloved taters. box frites boasts that they have "belgian-style frites and dipping sauces" and i gotta say, i was skeptical. i had a horrible experience with garlic fries at nats park last season (as in..the taste of garlic just wouldn't leave my mouth no matter how many times i brushed and rinsed), and i vowed to never look back. but danny meyer insisted on upping the ante and intrigued me with his garlic-parmesan frites. then i heard about the smoked bacon aioli. done and done. first of all, the special garlic-parmesan frites are $9.75 sans dipping sauce. ARE YOU INSANE? though i don't think they were worth $9.75 (just regular, thick-cut spuds..definitely not belgian-style), i respect that it's the novelty of being in a park, and the novelty of quality roasted garlic and parmesan available in said park. now, it's important that you listen. if you want regular "frites" here, that's fine. i might even try regular next time just to check 'em out. but the $2 they charge for the smoked bacon aioli is absolutely worth it. it's decadent, chilled, and sinfully delicious. i also thought it paired well with the garlic and parmesan. other dipping sauces (also $2 each):: chipotle ketchup, ballpark mayo, bleu cheese, and rosemary ranch. these fries could be a meal in itself. they were incredibly filling. and for $10+, they should be. none of that shoestring shit, we're up in the big leagues now.* --- *pun intended. read more

Box Frites - the sign. - Hot Dogs Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I thought the fries here were really good, but are a little expensive even for Stadium prices. I justified the $10 for large garlic fries and one sauce because I decided I was going to only have fries for dinner (don't judge me). The plus side is not only were the fries good but they were also a pretty generous serving so I wasn't even able to finish the large. Seems like you could probably split the large between 2-3 people if you just wanted fries as a side. The downside was they were expensive and the sauce that I paid $1.75 extra for was in a pretty small container. While I don't enjoy paying almost $2 for an extra sauce it wouldn't bother me if it at least provided me with enough sauce for all my fries. This one did not even come close. read more

Box Frites was OK. I ordered the small regular fries, and while not inedible, definitely not worth $7. Served hot, yet could have been crispier and more flavorful. The ketchup was tasty - I had the chipotle ketchup, which was not as thick as regular ketchup. The fries from the regular vendors looked better than these. read more

Box Frites used to be the best place to get fries at the stadium. However, it has gone downhill this year. When we went to a game the day before the official opening of 2019, they were out of garlic fries and most of their sauces. When we went 2 nights ago and got to the vendor at 8:30, they were out of fries. The only thing they had left were hotdogs. Really? I can get hotdogs anywhere in the park. I walked over to this place for fries. I'm no longer going to this place any more. Don't waste your time. Go to Shake Shack or any other place at the park. read more

A day at a Nats game is not complete without dropping by Box Frites for some Garlic Frites. The husband and I end up demolishing a large size at an embarrassing rate. Either stop for some ketchup or spring for a Rosemary Ranch dip which I think is totally worth the extra money. Definitely try some of the other flavors, and let me know! read more

Not bad at all, a welcome addition to the Miller Lite scoreboard walk. I opeted for the Garlic Parmesan fries (might as well splurge for the extra $1.50 if you are already buying $8.00 fries). They do come with one dipping option, and we went for the Chipotle ketchup. All in all every strong fries, nice crispness, no real grease and a heaping amount of parmesan. These fries and a beer would certainly constitute a meal, and for the ball game the $16 cumulative price tag really isnt all that steep. Check it out! read more

I give these fries a thumbs up -- they will be appearing on my 'best fries in DC' list. Sure, they're pricey ($8 for a large fry)... but everything in Nationals Stadium is overpriced. Even despite the price, it is a lot of fry. The large certainly filled me up, and the fries pair well with a big beer or shake from the shake shack. To me the concept is the real winner here. I felt in the mood to try the rosemary ranch as the dipping sauce. It was tasty! Next time, I'll try something new...perhaps the chipotle mayo? My friend really enjoyed the bacon aioli. Overall though, the fries are good! They were sufficiently crisp for my taste (one of my criteria for good fries). I'll definitely be returning! read more

Luckily I read Amanda S.' review prior to heading to the Nats double header on Saturday and I was able to convince a friend to go buy Box Frites, (wait, you thought I would pony up $10 for fries?) Said friend got the chipotle ketchup and the ballpark mayo with her small fry. I mooched, and I'm glad I did. The fries were a thick cut, perfectly fried on the outside, and chewy in the middle. My friend wanted the "real" Belgian experience, so she mixed the ketchup and mayo. Not gunna lie, pretty yum in my free loadin tum. Next time at the park I load up on a couple of DCL's (delicious coors light, of course) and splurge on some really tasty ballpark faire. read more

Come for the french fries. Stay for the hot dogs. Beats anything I've eaten at Nationals Park. And the service was excellent even though they were running out of food! Oh and you can grab a beer while you're there. read more

Ended up getting the regular fries with the buffalo sauce. Fries were great thick cut almost in the fashion of boardwalk except without the skins. Hot. I thought it was a little bit over rated because the sauce was basically ranch and hot sauce which one can make at home. Might opt for the parm fries next time but if you go that route you don't get a dipping sauce. read more

Definitely a must for a day at the ballpark. Perfectly cut and seasoned and your own choice of condiments for your dipping pleasure. I got the chipotle ketchup and the ranch one which was not for me hence forgetting the full name of the flavor. For 10 bucks for a large you know your overpaying but by the last fry you don't seem to remember that you did. read more

I usually stop here every time I come to a Nats game and get the garlic frites. The portion is very large and is enough for 2-3 people. I thought they tasted great with ketchup, so I would definitely purchase them again. They are a kinda pricy, but I usually eat a meal before coming to the games anyways so this is fine for just a snack. The lines are also shorter than some of the other places, so it's easy to grab a snack and drink and get back to the game. read more

Box Frites - Garlic frites - Hot Dogs Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Yum! Had the Garlic Frites which are smothered in Parmesan, parsely - and lots of garlic. The fries are cooked to crisp and there's no need for sauce with these badboys - they are delicious on their own. The cheddar bacon is good, but the Garlic ones are great - I would go for those again. They do cost 8.50 a box - but its a large portion that could be share with 2-3 people. Recommend! read more

(2.75 Stars) I love a good Nationals game especially when it's $2 Tuesday and when Danny Meyer's restaurant group just opened Shake Shack, Blue Smoke, El Verano Taqueria, and Box Frites in the ballpark. An hour before the first pitch, Shake Shack already boasted a menacingly long line as did Blue Smoke. So, my friend and I hit up Box Frites for some pregame Belgian fries. So, how did Box Frites' first at bat go? I'll list the strikes first. Strike 1: The parmesean-garlic fries do not come with any sauce AND cost more money than the regular fries. My friend and I didn't get it, and we did not get the specialty fries either. We wanted our sauce!!! One sauce came with the regular fries, and we got another for two dollars more (a big charge for just one salad dressing sized sauce, but within stadium standards). Strike 2: Insufficient Belgian french fry power. Let me clarify this ruling. On my last visit to L.A., I experienced a french fry-wakening at Wurstkuche http://www.wurstkucherestaurant.com/Menu.html . Wurstkuche makes Belgian fries with a perfectly salty, crispy exterior and a light and soft as mashed potatoes center. Sadly, Box Frites' frites do not live up to the Wurstkuche paradigm. They're not salty enough and lack the crunchy to soft contrast of other Belgian fries. Not bad fries, but not the best value for the buck. So, what does Box Frites bring to the Nationals Stadium's food team? Tasty sauces, smaller lines than neighboring stands, and a pretty good pregame beer deal. My friend and I sampled their blue cheese and bacon aioli sauces. The blue cheese tasted sufficiently salty and cheesy, but I wish it wanted more chunkiness. However, we agreed that the creamy bacon aioli with sizable bacon chunks stole the show with its rich, bacony goodness. I would buy that sauce on its own, and I guess that I could for a couple of dollars. As for the beer deal, the whole area offers $5 beers up to 7 pm on game nights. Not a super deal, but given the location, I'll take it and some fried food dipped in that bacon aioli.... The food should continue scouting, but they shouldn't trade Box Frites just yet. read more

The frites are tasty if a bit spendy. The smokey bacon sauce is as good as you'd want it to be. Do NOT let the servers rip you off. None of them (tonight anyway) were capable of reading their own menu, which clearly says that an order of frites comes with one sauce, and thus buying an "extra" means you get two. (Seriously, it was like explaining cold fusion.). Whatever. read more

A great find in Nats Park! Came across this place next to Shake Shack and will only be getting my ball game hot dogs here from now on! The bacon cheddar dog is excellent and well worth the extra dollar you pay instead of getting a plain hot dog from the regular concession stands. read more

Yawn. Tried the sweet potato fries. Slightly soggy, nothing special. And the bacon aioli actually made my stomach roll over. Stayed with me til morning. Not a fan, especially when I can get good fries with my In-&-Out clone burger two doors down at Shake Shack. read more

Massive let down. OK the lines we get it. It's a ball park. OK then build another one so not everyone in tg re stadium cones here. Think outside the box for once. Service. The team behind the line could not be more pleasant and friendly. Jon our cashier was all smiles during the 8th inning and still had energy after his long day in the heat. Was the only plus. The fries we ordered was the garlic parm. The fries were under cooked soggy and had way to much salt, no garlic taste and way way way to much parm on them. We had dry mouth. We opted for the free ketchup rather then pay $2 for a small condiment holder of fancy nothing. Really You charge for sauces. Also ordered the frites dog. NEVER ORDER it. Very small basic nothing. For $6 you expect more. When at nationals park stay awaya. Best bet is the ave vendors downstairs for hot dogs and fries. read more

As pricy as anything else at Nationals Stadium, but better than the regular fries you would get elsewhere. I love the Ballpark Mayo sauce. I will definitely be getting these every time I go to the game and am craving some fries. read more

I looked at the Yelp reviews and thought, "well if these fries are a cut above the rest, I definitely want to try them because the last game I went to, the food was okay". I think the negative reviews on here are a bit exaggerated. So, I will explain the experience and you can decide whether or not you want to eat fries like these. They are really stiff, not the soggy type. Fried golden, not under fried. The fries are cooked hard the inside is NOT creamy and full, but it's almost as if there is air inside the fry instead of potato. I needed to drink a fair amount with these fries. I got the garlic ones, thinking the flavor should be good and I don't need a sauce. After that, I wished I had some ketchup. Note: I got these fries near the end of the game, so maybe my batch had been sitting out too long. They also were not hot as if they were freshly cooked. I'm not going to have these fries again. I'd rather have boardwalk fries. read more

Slowest line ever, as is typical for Nats park, but these fries are SOLID. I regularly go for the garlic fries, topped with Parmesan and a little parsley. Sometimes the batches are a little crispier, which I prefer. I have yet to be blown away by the sauces, despite my high hopes for Old Bay. I recommend just sticking with the one that is included rather than paying for extra. read more

The fries here are supposedly specialty fries. I usually just get the garlic fries. The size of the fries is usually enough to feed 2-3 people. They are very salty and garlicky, so after a couple of fries you will get sick of them. The price of fries were $8.50. Definitely overpriced, but that is what you get for purchasing food from a sports event. In addition, if you want sauce (ranch, buffalo, etc.), it costs an extra 50-55 cents. Overall, this is a cool place to try out and get some finger food but not a place to be obsessed over. read more

Four stars for the flavor, two for the outrageous prices! Still, for stadium food, I guess it can't be held against them. Ask for extra parmesan garlic for extra yumminess! read more

Out of Danny Meyer's 4 new food stands at Nats Park, Box Frites provides the shortest line. You can't go wrong with their crispy fries and eclectic array of sauces. We tried the large box of frites and the bacon aioli. They were really good; better than Shake Shack fries. Though extremely expensive for French Fries ($8), Box Frites should definitely be worth a try. read more

I had the sweet fries and parm peppercorn sauce and they were delicious! This is a really unique snack and prices are reasonable compared to other stadium food. The people behind the counter were very nice and helpful. My only complaint with my visit was that there was a super long line, which I waited in for about 25 minutes. Other nearby lines were moving signifigantly faster so I'm not sure why this one was so painfully long. If you can catch this place with a short line it's a great spot! read more

GOOD LORD. I was only about 3 beers deep and I could still tell you these were the best fries I have tasted to date. Amazing sauces, personally I'd go with the smokey bacon aoli... praise the french fry lords for having these delectable potatoes on this earth. read more

The garlic-parm fries are OH SO GOOD. And rather filling, too. Much heavier on the parm than on the garlic; you won't be left feeling stinky. They were also hot and crispy out of the fryer, even after being tossed in their unctuous coating. Pretty darn near perfect, if you want to try something different than standard ballpark fare... And don't mind shelling out some major league bucks. I didn't try any of the sauces -- they really aren't needed when your fries are enrobed in garlic and parm! -- but I will say that I didn't find the selection particularly interesting, pretty much the ketchup alternatives you'd reach for at home. read more

I went here during the May 22nd game. The line wasn't too bad, and my food came quickly. The BLT hot dog I ordered wasn't bad, but the regular box frites I received were COLD, not even lukewarm but cold. The taste was okay, but for a place known for fries I expect them to be served piping hot. read more

You have to either be the place's owner or be absolutely clueless to add these to a "best fries in DC" list. It's a french fry place that uses low-grade, bagged frozen fries. That's inexcuseable no matter how good your sauces are. I was only in DC for 4 nights and I had better fries twice -- Good Stuff Eatery and Wendy's. Yes, I said Wendy's. No, I don't think Wendy's fries are good, but Box Frites are that bad. If Danny Meyer has anything to do with this place besides the concept and raking in the profits, he should be ashamed. (The ribs at Blue Smoke were passable, but they were out of wings and it was only the 5th inning...come on people). read more

These fries aren't the same as they used to be! Now they're just garden variety thick stadium fries. Don't get excited. read more

Box Frites - Standard fries like you could get at any vendor! - Hot Dogs Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I paid almost $10 to get a box of parmesan fries, and I didn't even taste the parmesan. The fries are good but stick to the regular fries. They offer a choice of 4 sauces which are $2 each, and the regular fries comes with a sauce. My favorite part was the bacon aioli sauce - you must try this. Yummy. The chipotle ketchup just ok. read more

Good fries, but could be so much better. The garlic/parm fries are crispy thick cut fries doused with garlic powder and parm (but not fresh grated parm). The gold standard for stadium garlic fries are in San Fran - fresh mashed garlic on crispy fresh fries. Surprising and disappointing that Box Frites forgoes the fresh garlic for powder. These garlic fries, therefore, are substandard. Pass on the garlic fries and go for regular fries with a dip. Or pass altogether and get Ben's Chili Bowl. Mmmmmmmm. read more

Have died and gone to heaven! Well worth the trek up to second level. Three of us were sharing so I opted to get large plain fries and a small garlic and Parmesan. We would have still had fries left over with two small orders. That said, would get the plain fries in the future. The sauces!! We tried the bacon aioli and ranch with rosemary. The bacon aioli won hands down. The ranch with rosemary was good, although some might find the rosemary overpowering. One thing stopped the fifth star, the take away container. It was a cold day and with no cover, or even a bag, to put order into the fries would have been cold by the time one gets to seat. I used another take away as a "lid" and it worked. A simple paper bag to put order in would not only help keep the fries hot but would make carrying them so much easier. The fries are piping hot, crispy, and delicious! This will be my first stop at future Nats games! I did not think the price was high, especially when the product is so good. read more
