It's always ketchup on fries for me, they pair perfectly imo. On the rare occasion I vary it's usually at Wendy's, and I'll use the frosty. I suppose any milkshake you can dip in would be an acceptable substitution.
Freddy's fry sauce, barbecue sauce, teriyaki sauce, honey mustard, cocktail sauce, malt vinegar, cheese sauce
- Salt and vinegar
- Mayonnaise
- Edinburgh chippy brown sauce (a particularly vinegary variant of regular brown)
Ranch dressing, or a mix of half ranch dressing and half ketchup I call "krantchup". Specifically Marie's ranch mixed with Primitive Kitchen ketchup is so good on fries.
Chicken salt

I used to work at a sports bar where we made our own burgers and all by hand. Pretty damn good if you ask me.
We made our own Nashville hot sauce that was really fucking good on our fries. I couldn't stop eating them, even if my mouth started burning. Then I started mixing the Nashville with a bit of ketchup...
I got so unhealthy there.
Chili Umami or Mayo
I hate ketchup, so almost anything else. That said, mustard or some sort of flavored/spicy mayo are top choices.
Hot sauce
Whenever I got to my favorite falafel/kebab place, I order a side of tahini sauce. I mix a bunch of ketchup in there and dip my fries in it.
There's a fries place near me that has some amazing dips: chipotle ranch, parmesan peppercorn, thai peanut sauce... there's like 20 options
Mayo, cheese sauce, garlic sauce. Ketchup is actually overrated.
Chili powder, salt, and black pepper.

On a des valeurs en Belgique. Surtout sur l'assaisonnement des frites, la hauteur du col de mousse de la biere, et le caractère optionnel d'un gouvernement de plein exercice.
Remoulade is great with fries.
worcestershire sauce
Ranch. Or whatever sauce comes with the blooming onion at outback.
Garam Masala!
Andalouse / Diablo sauce
hong kong mcdonald's is currently serving shaker fries, where you can purchase a packet of seasoning powder along with your fries and shake it all together in a bag.
anyway, my all time favourite (so far) is mcdonald's honey bbq seasoning; fucking delicious. their sakura shrimp seasoning is pretty good too.
i got frozen fries that i heat up in the air fryer occasionally whenever i get a craving; tried some taiwanese popcorn chicken seasoning (i bought a jar of it from a taiwanese noodle restaurant) on it and it's really good.
