Great staff amazing food and I just love the way the sauce compliments the burger. Great food

My friend and I stopped by Jefferson Fry for a quick and easy lunch. I've previously been to their Canton location, and their dirty fries are scrumptiously good! They also have some less guilty options. We each got their Grilled Chicken Bowl. The inside walls are orange with plenty of available booth seating. They have the soda machine where you may refill your cup on your own. This location is open till 2:00 AM on certain nights to potentially feed the hungry students of the neighboring UCONN. After we placed our orders, we were told to sit down, and they would bring them to us. After a very short wait of under 10 minutes the bowls were brought out to us. These bowls were small, there was lettuce, and chopped grilled chicken, the tomatoes and the pickles were few and far in between. As far as fast food goes, this bowl is a decent option if you're not super hungry, otherwise it won't hold you over for long. read more

This is the only place around here with good burgers at a reasonable price. Burgers were flavorful and had a nice char. They also have malt vinegar for fries. read more

I was really looking forward to trying Jefferson Fry, but this was honestly a frustrating experience from start to finish. I waited about 20 minutes and noticed a bag sitting on the counter that looked like it could be mine. I asked and was told it wasn't. Fast forward another 25 minutes, and they finally call my name and hand me the same exact bag that had been sitting there the whole time. I got home and the food was completely cold and soggy, which makes sense because it had clearly just been sitting out. I called to ask for a refund or at least some sort of fix, and they basically told me there was nothing they could do. I don't usually leave negative reviews, but this was really disappointing. If I'm waiting nearly 45 minutes for food, the absolute bare minimum is that it's warm and fresh and customer service would've gone a long way here. Not planning to come back anytime soon. read more

Origin: The brainchild of Emmet Moore, Jefferson Fry Co. is inspired by Moore's parents, who had a food truck and fish and chip business in Ireland. Having mastered preparation of potatoes, Moore identified a need for fries with toppings (known as dirty or loaded fries) after moving to the United States. His wife and several business partners have joined efforts to make fried potatoes be at the forefront of fast meals across Connecticut, starting with their first location opening (Cromwell) in 2018. Moore named the shop after U.S. President Thomas Jefferson, who, like Moore, looked to introduce the potato fries he had enjoyed abroad to these shores. Concept: Seventeen different toppings are available for potato fries. The team conjures familiar as well as creative combinations, with topping components made on site. This menu is most prominently displayed in the shop, with common accompaniments -- hot dogs, chicken sandwiches, and hamburgers available as sidelines. Yes folks, "dirty fries" are meals in themselves! For example, chicken curry dirty fries are topped with grilled chicken, mushrooms, and onion that are enveloped in curry sauce. As of early 2023, there are four locations in Connecticut (Cromwell, Canton, Vernon, Storrs). The team hopes to eventually take the concept nationwide. Experience: I made my way to Jefferson Fry Co. because the Trophy Room at the Graduate Hotel is apparently closed on Sundays, and I was looking to get some semblance of what I had been looking forward to (the Trophy Room smash burger). The cashier told me the JFC burger is very popular (although she had not tried it herself), so I ordered that. I was pleasantly surprised by the way the different ingredients-- onions, double beef patties, plain fries, bacon, lettuce, tomato, cheese, and special sauce married perfectly, forming a marvelous alchemy of flavors and textures. I was glad that I thought to dine at the hotel's temporarily vacated Trophy Room, as the Jefferson Fry Co.'s fluorescent lit, television-flickering, music-blaring, crammed interior with busy, centrally located open kitchen was not befitting of savoring the $11.99 burger. (Other locations have more attractive designs.) Tip: A rotation of fries with different toppings is available for free each Friday with purchase of an entree. This makes for an easy way to try all that Jefferson Fry Co. has to offer. The weekly rotation of "FryDay" promotions is published on the company website.

This was my 2nd time eating here. The 1st time I had a delicious burger with chili fries. This time I had delicious tenders with plain fries. Next time I'll try one of their hot dogs or pulled pork. Decent amount of booths. Prices aren't too bad. Last time the chili fries were free. Not sure if that is every Friday or if I just lucked out. read more

Good fast food but not really that fast. The Thai fries were very tasty, however, they needed to be fried quite a bit more. More peanut sauce please, as well. The portobello mushroom sandwich again was good, but it was such a thin slice that you could hardly taste anything but the very crispy coating. Again, more of the garlic aioli promised on the menu. They bottle several flavors of their own soda, but also have a limited selection of Coca-Cola fountain drinks, including a sweet, black tea and Powerade. read more

I feel like every time I go the food and fries get greasier and greasier. I don't know what has changed. Idk if when it's slow, the oil doesn't get changed enough or they are frying things too long? Staff change? It leaves a bad taste in my mouth lately and gives me a stomach ache. Sadly don't know if I can return read more

Was in town for college and admitted day visits and came here for a quick bite to eat. Very friendly and freshly made food with lots of incentives for college students attending. Became one my son will be visiting often read more

Came to J fry and was in the mood for a delicious burger. Love this place. Walked in and the place was freeezing cold and the workers wouldn't take my order. I became furious and will not be coming back. I walked in at 1 and they close at 2. Total bs read more

i remember coming here one time when they had a promo going on and the line was outside the dooorrr so then the service was pretty slow but i'm sure on your average day it would go by faster. their fries are okay which i feel like for a fry shop they would be better with more varieties but that's okay. their chicken burgers tasted like it was dunked in hot sauce i think. there was a bunch of sitting inside though. read more

After a late night all I wanted was a burger and fries! There are many fry combinations to try. We went with the BBQ fries. They are thick cut fries topped with pulled pork, bbq sauce and some cole slaw. It sounded amazing but was not as full of flavor as you'd expect. I ordered a single original burger and my son got the double fry cheeseburger. He was very happy with his burger. Mine was served without mayo or ketchup and came with one pickle slice. I had to ask them to put on the condiments and they did, but barely. The vibe was cool. It is a fast food place but there were televisions around the space playing the formula one race. My son was happy. read more

Jefferson Fry Co - Original left, double right, bbq fries - Fast Food Near Me - Storrs, Connecticut

Overall I really love their fries but I feel a little ripped off with my go-to order. THE FOOD: -fresh. Cut. Fries. LOVE THEM! They are delicious and the perfect amount of crispy on the outside and not dried out on the inside. -my usual order is the regular fries, creole style, with garlic aioli sauce. The creole is my favorite seasoning to add to fries. I am a ketchup hater so usually I get cheese at other places but the garlic aioli is next level. -Cons: the garlic sauce is a "special" sauce which the online menu says is a 50cent additional cost. When I placed my order they charged $1 extra so I figured it would be 2 containers of the side sauce which would be perfect (considering side salad dressing type of containers). Unfortunately when I got home with my order I saw the TEENIEST, TINIEST side of sauce I have ever seen. I didn't even know plastic containers came that small. I am not someone who uses a lot of sauce per dip and it was still enough for about 1/4 of the container of fries. If you are a heavy sauce person I wish you the best of luck! You'll get about 4 fries worth of dipping. See my image for reference, it was the size of my thumb knuckle. -additionally, when I placed my online order I un-checked the box that said salt and checked the creole but my fries were extremely salty so it seems like it was salt + creole, not just creole seasoning. THE ATMOSPHERE -the Storrs location is new and fully renovated. I really like the colors and feel of it. -one down side are the seats in the corner along Dog Lane are awkwardly close to where people need to stand to fill their fountain drink THE STAFF -the times I've been in there it was the same cashier and they were very friendly and helpful! -I did ask for a fork since I planned to eat a little on the go and was told there was one in the bag, so I left. But there was not a fork in the bag unfortunately. Overall, I really like this restaurant but hope they will start providing a reasonable amount of sauce to go with their fries. Paying $1 for a side of sauce meant fit for an infant is ridiculous. - read more

Just got my chocolate milkshake, and I'm impressed so far. Taste like a looser version of a McDonald's milkshake. Service took about 5 minutes, which wasn't too bad. Food came after about 15 minutes, but it's nice and fresh. Bbq fries were about a 6.5/10, nothing special. Classic cheeseburger was smaller than I expected, but the taste is there (7/10) read more

Some of the best burgers in the local area. Fresh ingredients and solid service. Would recommend.

My daughter and I ate in for the first time , she had the garlic cheese fries and I had the deluxe hamburger. Both were delicious and would recommend to anyone to stop by and try this different take on the American French Fry called "Dirty Fries" read more

Serving chicken that is severely undersized and was told that the management team told them to serve it that way.

Just had the most ridiculous experience. Order on doordash for pick up to find that the store was closed when we arrived because of daylight savings, they would not serve us.I understand that it sucks for them and they shouldn't have to stay an hour late, but we had already spent 80 dollars and food and they were no help when we asked how to get our money back. read more

awesome! I loved the fries and them juicy burgers. great job yep up the good work! Only thing was that the table was a but dirty but over all awesome food read more

I had the buffalo fries and my boyfriend had the truffle fries and both were amazing! Really good flavors and good portions. My boyfriend had an Oreo milkshake and it was good, but a little small for him! Otherwise very good read more

Unfortunately not a great experience. We ordered 4 sandwiches through their website. -One of them we received correctly. -Two we asked for cheese but there was no cheese. This wouldn't really have been a big deal, but we paid extra for it. -One sandwich had pickles when we asked for not. (Again not a huge deal but given all the other issues with our order, it was annoying) -One sandwich was missing completely. We understand how crazy food service can be, but we cannot get a hold of anyone to help us. They don't have voicemail set up and we called several times the night we ordered and no one's answered. We even called Door dash who we ordered the food through to help but they were also unable to get in touch with them. The phone just rings and no one picks up. We'll try again tomorrow to get a refund and I'll update my review accordingly. UPDATE: We were able to get in touch with someone the following morning. They were very helpful and understanding and fully refunded our order. We really appreciated the help they gave us - we just wish we had been able to contact someone the same day of service. read more

Guy at the counter couple days ago seemed off. Mono tone , stone cold look when I asked about my doordash. Sorry I didn't know you keep the orders off to the side, didn't mean to bother your life by asking the question. Lord read more

Tiny milkshakes, not worth the price. Same price for one twice as big down the road. Fries were somehow both wet and not cooked enough. Once stood at the counter for 10 minutes and didn't see anyone, even though there were no other customers. read more

Food was good and came out really fast. Pulled pork sandwich was pretty good, maybe a little bland, but otherwise great. I said online coleslaw on the side and just didn't get any, but that's okay. Chocolate milkshake was delicious, and the fryday free fry was decent, you get a lot of fries. read more

We had the Buffalo chicken fries and pulled pork sandwich. Both were delicious and I'd go back to try other items. Total cost was about $17.50, a tad expensive for what it was, but it's not cheap to properly run a restaurant today. The restaurant was clean including the bathroom, and the young woman who took and delivered our order was very friendly. read more

Great service, with food priced accordingly for college students. The burger we had was delicious and the shake tested fresh. Will be coming here for a late night snacks. read more

The overall food is chiefs kiss, the dirty fries are a rock solid effort compared to a majority of the food offered, within the northeast part of CT. the Serving size is a belly buster for the price. The ambiance was awesome, music, tv's for watching sports and a perfect setup for eating in and enjoying each other company. read more

It's not health food, but it's yummy. If you're up for treating yourself, I highly recommend the hot fried/grilled chicken sandwich (both versions are yummy). We also love the fusion fries and garlic parm fries. read more

Good food a little cheap with the fries but it was good they did not mix the taco fries and there was layers and clumps of ingredients. The service was fast the restaurant was also clean the bathrooms were also clean. The music was however distracting and deafening . I got our food to go and it was excellent . The burger was however small for the price and was also greasy but i understand that is the style of food they serve. read more
