About Bag Lady's Fry Joint

The room fits that identity. It is intentionally nostalgic, with a 90s theme, hip-hop and R&B; in the background, a trendy, fast-casual feel.

A fry-first counter-service stop
The smart order strategy is to treat the fries as the main event. The hand-cut beef tallow fries are the foundation here, with craft loaded fries as the signature move. Burgers round out the meal, but this is not the place to prioritize breadth. The point is the fry format, the focus helps explain why the venue works for a casual stop.
Because the format is counter service, it is a better fit for casual meals than for a polished occasion. Order with the fry-first identity in mind and keep the plan simple. The listed hours run from 10:30 AM to 8:00 PM Monday through Thursday, 10:30 AM to 10:00 PM Friday and Saturday, 10:30 AM to 4:00 PM Sunday.
