French-fry fanatics are in for even more deals than last year as National French Fry Day  arrives at fast-food restaurants July 11. And considering the average American now ingests an estimated 30 pounds of French fries a year per a recent Cargill report, the “holiday” should only be gaining in popularity. The call of Free Fry Day reigns at the following QSRs:

Burger King’s Royal Perks members can get one free order of any size fries with a $1 or more purchase starting July 11, and then every Friday for the rest of the year.

Checkers & Rally’s customers can "upgrade" their fries from competing chains for free on July 11. By bringing a recent receipt from any competitor reflecting a previous French fry purchase to a Checkers & Rally’s location, customers will receive a free order of large, seasoned fries.

"We're not just giving away fries—we're issuing a flavor wake-up call," said Chris Tebben, CEO of Checkers Drive-In Restaurants, Inc. in the announcement. “National French Fry Day is the perfect time to show guests why they should never settle again."
