Actually I think a franchise wins on french fries. And my choice is Chili's. The one I visit is next to Lincoln Mall in Lincoln, RI. I assume all other Chili's locations make their fries the same? I hope so. Maybe somebody knows if they do.   more ›

  • Monday, February 27, 2012

We eat a lot of french fries in our lifetime, and after awhile, they all start to taste the same: a little salty, slightly crispy, decent after a dip in ketchup. But when you're served an extra special platter of fries, you know it. Maybe it's because they're hand-cut or extra crispy. Or it's because they're curly or covered in cracked black pepper. Whatever it is, you know when they stand out because they become more than just a side order. They become the main enjoyment of the meal.  Everyone has their opinion about who serves up the best local fries. What's yours? Do you find yourself craving fries at Duffy's, Oak Hill Tavern or Beach Rose? We want to hear your thoughts on which restaurant serves up the best french fries in town. Vote …

Patch Readers Choose State's Most Reliable Mechanics

This week's Patch "Best of" poll focuses on businesses we don't often want to encounter: auto repair shops.

From oil changes to body repair to engine breakdowns, we all have occasion to require the service of a car mechanic. But which should you choose? If you're like most drivers,you know how to operate a car, but know little of the car's operation. How then can you possibly know whether a mechanic is correct and truthful when he tells you what's wrong with your vehicle and how much it's going to cost you to get back on the road? Patch wanted to help readers find the best, most reliable auto mechanics around. Throughout Rhode Island, Patch polled readers to find out where's the best place to take a car for service. After five days of voting, the winners are in. Check out who won below and let us know which you think is best in the comment …

Winner: Best Auto Repair Shop in NK

Who won this week's "Best of" poll?

The results are in and Mulzer's Car Care is the winner with nearly one-third of the votes in this week's Best of Patch poll. Mulzer's nabbed 32 percent of the vote, edging out second place Tire Pros with 20 percent. It wasn't just the votes that favored Mulzer's, but the comments as well. According to one Patch user, Mulzer's "always does a great job, always honest about what needs to be done." Tire Pros, Tarbox Toyota, Mike's Auto Body and Post Road Service also earned honrable mentions in our comments. Check back Monday for next week's poll. The topic?
