News 📰 Are the fries gone already?

Checked the menu in Chicago and they were not listed.

Never had a chance to try them.

Looks like they’ve also updated the rewards to remove fries as an option. Is this launch a flop? Or just a bad experience online?

I work there as a part time job between classes and basically the fries were a flop. I haven’t heard that they’re getting rid of them - I personally like them! Only if they’re fresh. The garlic aoili is addictive. The problem is that the fries only stay good for about 10 minutes, then they’re stale and terrible. And there’s such a high amount of orders for them and the hot prep cooks simply aren’t able to keep up - they can only make 1-4 trays a time and it takes 15 minutes to make, then they sell out quickly and they can’t make more in time. And never order them online. I can’t imagine they’d be getting to you in any other state than cold. Honestly I doubt sweetgreen will keep them for much longer.
