French Fries are a classic side dish to many fan-favorite meals. From fast food to higher-end entrées, you can eat fries with burgers, hot dogs, chicken strips, steak, and more. The point is, fries are perfect for pretty much anything, and they are an American staple. And not only can you eat them with many different foods, but there are also numerous ways to eat them, with different variations, assortments, and cuts out there. You have your classic french fry, your waffle fry like you’d see at Chick-fil-A, steak fries, curly fries, crinkle cuts, and so forth.
Given that fries are such an iconic staple and commonly enjoyed item in the United States, of course the beloved dish has its own national day of dedication. According to the National Day Calendar, National French Fry Day takes place annually on the second Friday (I see what they did there) in the month of July, making this Friday, July 11, National Fry Day in 2025 — meaning it also coincides with 7-Eleven’s National Slurpee Day (double the fun).
With that being said, in honor of the day, chain restaurants across the country are going to be celebrating National French Fry Day by offering their own delicious deals and discounts on fries that you won’t want to miss out on. Here is a list of 15 french fry deals going on during National French Fry Day in 2025.
Arby’s
I know Arby’s has the meats, but apparently it also have the sides, and they let Gen Z customers know this in an iconic and nostalgic way. The chain put a video out on its Instagram on July 10 featuring the one-and-only viral internet sensation from the early 2010s, “Friday” singer Rebecca Black to announce that Arby’s Rewards Members can get a Free Large Curly Fry with a minimum $5 purchase between July 11 and 13. This deal is only available in the app.

McDonald’s
Starting off with probably the biggest deal of them all, McDonald’s is having an ongoing special in which customers can get a free medium fry with any purchase of $1 or more in the McDonald’s app every Friday (or should I say, Fry-Day) through Dec. 26, 2025.

Wendy’s is also going all-in on Fry-Day. On Fridays this year, Wendy’s is having a digital offer in the Wendy’s app for a free any size order of Hot & Crispy Fries with a purchase on July 11 — and all of the remaining Fridays in 2025. At this point, I’m willing to say across the board that 2025 is slowly turning into the year of the fry. According to USA Today, this deal must be redeemed in the Wendy’s app or website. Account registration is required and the deal excludes Topped Fries, Fuego Fries, and Seasoned Potatoes.
