Onion rings vs fries: which to pick

Pick onion rings if you want fewer calories and fewer carbs per order, or if you like a crunchy batter. Pick fries if you need to avoid egg, milk or wheat, because the fries list soy only. On price the fries win by $1.00 for a medium. Many regulars order one of each to share, which also gives the table two different textures to dip.
