• Vermont

  Al’s French Fries in South Burlington
  Opened In: 1940’s
  Must Try: The Yelpers say the fries. I grew up in South Burlington and agree… but would also add their Pizza Burger to that. I’ve never found it quite the same anywhere else as Al’s. It’s always been my favorite. No marinara, just spices. Get a creemee too!
