A new eatery in College Park turns fries into the main dish.

Started near Los Angeles in 2017, Mr. Fries Man uses French fries as a base for increasingly intense toppings, including chicken, shrimp, steak, crab and even plant-based meat.

From there, sauces are added ranging from Ranch dressing to mango habanero, with add-ons like bacon, chili and cheese.

The restaurant has since expanded into a chain with 20 locations around California and in Arizona, Nevada and Utah.

Located at 8147 Baltimore Ave., the College Park location is in the same shopping center as Taqueria Habanero, in the middle of several apartment buildings favored by University of Maryland students.

Mr. Fries Man is open from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. seven days a week. It’s also available on DoorDash, GrubHub and Uber Eats.
