Mr. Fries Man, the viral West Coast loaded fries chain, has officially landed in Fishtown, stacking fries high with bold sauces, proteins and seafood. The counter-service newcomer at 2313 Frankford Avenue slips into a busy run of neighborhood eateries, offering shareable portions and a late-night vibe instead of a full sit-down setup.
Mr. Fries Man opened its first Pennsylvania location at 2313 Frankford Avenue, according to NBC10 Philadelphia. Menu headliners include buffalo ranch chicken fries, honey garlic shrimp and steak fries, chicken bacon parm fries and lemon garlic crab and shrimp fries. NBC10 Philadelphia also reports the shop is run by gelato entrepreneur Galen Thomas and Chef Donte Fassett, and that regular hours are 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily.
What's On The Menu
Owners and PR materials say fry fans can expect a mix of signature loaded combinations alongside build-your-own options, with a Philly-exclusive cheesesteak fries order set to debut soon, per PhillyVoice. PhillyVoice traces the brand back to a 2016 Gardena street-vendor start and notes that social media helped push it into brick-and-mortar spots across the country. That West Coast to East Coast arc shows up in the shop's over-the-top flavor pairings and its late-night focus.
Who Runs The Philly Spot
The Philadelphia outpost is operated locally by Galen Thomas, the gelato artist behind Cloud Cups, together with Chef Donte Fassett of Mason Meals, according to reporting by Patch. Patch notes this is the chain's first East Coast shop and reports that the team plans to lean into neighborhood programming and special releases. The Fishtown location features custom murals and shared seating with Cloud Cups, giving it a community-forward footprint rather than a cookie-cutter franchise feel.
How To Order And When To Go
For menu details, hours and online ordering, the restaurant points customers to its official site and the Philadelphia Instagram page for the local outpost: Mr. Fries Man. The brand's site notes that participating locations are independently owned and that the Fishtown counter offers pickup and delivery options. Expect opening-week lines and plenty of social media buzz as the concept tests East Coast appetites.
