French Fryz - Arden, NC

French Fryz has been an Arden, North Carolina landmark since opening its doors in 2006, earning over 14 years of loyal customer devotion. Located at 2109 Hendersonville Road in the heart of Skyland, this retro-styled burger joint captures the nostalgic charm of 1950s American diners while serving up some of the best comfort food in the Asheville area. The restaurant proudly advertises itself as the Home of the $1.99 Hot Dog, offering incredible value without sacrificing quality. All menu items are crafted with meticulous attention to detail, from their made-from-scratch hot dog chili to their legendary milkshakes and crispy french fries, which use only USDA Idaho #1 potatoes—over 100,000 pounds annually. Their never-frozen one-third pound burgers are grilled to perfection, and the diverse menu also features fresh soups, salads, and a variety of sandwiches that cater to all taste preferences. Owner Eddie, a native of Elizabethtown who relocated to Asheville in 1975, brings his bubbly personality and contagious laugh to the restaurant daily, often multitasking between taking orders, cooking, and chatting with customers. French Fryz welcomes everyone from sports teams and church groups to birthday parties and civic organizations, making it a true community gathering spot. Open for lunch and dinner, this family-friendly establishment combines quality ingredients, excellent service, and fair prices—exactly what the neon sign promises.
