National French Fry Day 2025! Where to Get Cheap or Free French Fries

French fries often play sidekick to hamburgers or hot dogs, but on National French Fry Day, they are the star of the show. Word on the street is we consume 4.5 billion pounds of French fries annually in the U.S. alone. And considering fries make up 80 percent of my 4-year-old’s diet, I believe it.

Here are the restaurants we anticipate will offer freebies or deals for this food holiday in 2025. We’re talking free fries at McDonald’s, Checkers, Wendy's, and more.

Offers, prices, and local participation may vary.

National French Fry Day is a yearly, day-long event where restaurants give away french fries.

National French Fry Day is a day when certain restaurants or fast-food chains offer free french fries to customers. Typically, customers can receive a free serving of french fries with the purchase of another item, such as a burger or a drink, or sometimes simply by visiting the establishment during a specified time frame. And McDonald’s offers free fries for their app users with no purchase necessary.

The next National French Fry Day will take place on Friday, July 11, 2025.

National French Fry Day used to be on a set date, but after a successful petition by food chains Checkers & Rally’s, it’ll always be on the second Friday in July. Because “fry day” should be on a Friday. Obviously. 

So next year, National French Fry Day will take place on Friday, July 11, 2025.
