Best Onion Rings?

by Aaron Newton » Mon Dec 17, 2007 11:55 am

Not too long ago we had a thread on best french fries, but I couldn't find anything through search on best onion rings. Who has the best, in your opinion? I haven't had any locally (except once from white castles) in quite a while, and within the last week I've been craving them bad. Help me out!

You know what? I actually really like the ones from Dairy Queen.

Molly's has nice onion rings too. I love them when they have a great beer batter on them.

I like the ones at Steak and Shake also...
But I REALLY like what they have at Clarksville Seafood. Not really an onion ring per say, A kind of dredged in seasoned flour and fried mess that is quite tasty!

The rings at <b>Stan's Fish Sandwich</b> are outstanding.

In fact, I'd suggest that any local, independent fried-fish eatery is likely to do rings well because it involves the same frying technique, and they've got a lot of experience. The Fish House, The Fishery and others also have estimable rings.

I can remember overdosing on Linning's onion rings and Mark's onion straws quite a few times in the past, but haven't been to either in quite a while. Strangely I don't think I've ever had the onion rings at Steak n Shake, even though it's my favorite fast food burger. Gonna put all the others on the list though! The advice about seeking out fish fry joints makes a lotta sense.

Frisch's has good ones. And I like the ones at the Fishery. Last time I had a Bloomin Onion at Outback it hit the spot too. Will have to try Stan's!

To be honest King Fish is one I've never been a fan of.

Never had the rings, but Hill St. Fish Fry is my favorite of the many Louisville 'fried fish' spots...

Love that place!
