While fries may seem like a no-brainer for the burger menu, more and more diners are looking for unique veggie side options.
Sweet potato fries are becoming more popular and are an excellent way to appeal to health-conscious diners.
Onion rings are the second most popular fried side item after fries.
Jalapeño poppers make a great side since spicy flavors are trending and they can demand an upcharge.
