Great Treat  4 Star Rating - Very good

We love these french fries. It's such a treat to visit NYC and get our Pomme Frites. There are so many varieties of dipping sauces and every one we have tried so far has been delicious. Can't wait to visit again.

Pommes Frites  5 Star Rating - World class

The fries at pommes frites are so delicious! They have 3 or 4 sizes, the largest being about 7$ and it is enough to feed 3 people. The dipping sauces are what really make it delicious. They have so many different flavors of dipping sauces. Try the horseradish mayo. Its more like a salad dressing consistency that mayo. Each of the sauces cost 75 cents, so if you go with a group of people get a few different flavors to try. It is a tiny place, mabye enough seats for 10 people, so be prepared to stand or take your frites elsewhere.

good sauce .. OK fries.. EHH overall 2 Star Rating - Wouldn't recommend

Drunk - Pommes Frittes is awesome.
Sober - Go somewhere else

Pommes Frittes is one of those late night spots to get some fried goodness after a long night of drinking.. you dont notice the lines, you dont taste anything due to the all the alcohol you drank. except you think its awesome. I went one night with a few of my friends. and was really excited to get some pommes frittes .. and I wasn't really thrilled. Their sauces are good, yes, but the fries themselves are not tasty at all.. they're very bland and nothing to rave about. But if you're out of town give it a try. Thats what the experience is all about.. waiting on that long line, and sitting next to some strangers crowded in that hole in the wall fast food joint.

Pros: Sauces
Cons: Fries are OK

great late night spot 4 Star Rating - Very good

Walking up to the spot the line outside was intimidating. Even though it was long it moved quite quickly. The sauces were worth the wait. Great place to go after you leave a club or lounge just for a snack at 1am.

Pros: sauces
Cons: line

Best. Fries. Ever. 5 Star Rating - World class

What else can I say? The fries are made fresh. Not fresh from a frozen package, but fresh as in the potatoes are cut right in front of you. The staff is friendly and efficient. They try to make the wait as short as possible without being pushy and they let you sample the sauces. As for the sauces, try them all. I have yet to come across a bad one. Nothing beats walking through the village, hangin with friends eating a cone of fries! It does get crowded and seating is limited, but don't let that stop you from going! Its soo worth it!

Pros: Great fries, open late.
Cons: It's almost always crowded, but that's cause its so good!

Keep on walking!!! 1 Star Rating - Unsatisfactory

I was so excited to actually get to visit after seeing this location on the Food Network, but was greatly disappointed!! The fries were terrible (i have had frozen fries that were better). Forget about trying to sit down and eat unless you want to sit on a strangers lap. Staff isn't very helpful with menu either. Save your money and go to the golden arches.

really good dipping sauce 4 Star Rating - Very good

They'll be a wait for the fries at Pommes but defnitely worth it. The fries are regular type of fries (kind of greasy but aren't most?) but my 4 stars goes to the different type of sauces. We had our fries with the Mango sauce and it was delicious! I would recommend this place for a quick snack on the go.

Pros: Great place to eat fries with different choices of dipping sauces
Cons: Tight spot
