Bubba’s 33 Was a Landslide Winner<\/p>\n

Out of 52 responses (which actually answered the question), 10 people suggested Bubba’s 33 (6210 Slide Rd). I have also enjoyed onion rings from Bubba’s, and I can verify they check all the boxes- fresh, hand-cut, hand-battered, and they come to the table piping hot. These are very large, thick-cut onion rings that are served with Bubba’s sauce (although you can have them with ketchup if you prefer. If you’ve been missing the onion rings from Burger Fi (R.I.P.), these are quite similar.<\/p>\n

Blue Sky At A Very Respectable #2 Slot<\/p>\n

Blue Sky (4416 98th St or 3216 4th St) was mentioned 8 times, and it’s no wonder why- these are fresh, thin-cut with the light, flaky batter and well-seasoned. I really enjoy these, but I have a very difficult time not opting for their immaculate Frito Pie when I go there.\u00a0 But between Bubba’s and Blue Sky, I’d say it’s a personal preference between thick and thin- they are both amazing.<\/p>\n
