These loaded fries were intended to appear indulgently topped and satisfying. However, user @squidmittens expressed disappointment, noting that instead of being served with gravy and roast chicken as advertised, the fries they received looked weak and dry. Clearly, the meal fell short of expectations, leaving the poster feeling that they weren’t worth the money spent.
