[[{“value”:”Onion rings can be delicious, but the deep-fried rings can also be a major fail. What separates the best onion rings from the worst? The best I’ve ever had usually use thicker, more substantial onion slices rather than flimsy, thin shavings. The batter also has to be tasty and flavorful, and deep-fried to golden perfection. Where can you get the best of the best? Here are 7 restaurant chains with the best onion rings, according to diners.
Dairy Queen
In multiple Reddit feeds, people swear that Dairy Queen onion rings are amazing. “They are like some of the best onion rings, regardless if they are fast food, bar food, pizza shop, regular restaurant, home cooked. Definitely the best fast food and they even rank up there with anybody’s onion rings in my opinion,” a Redditor declares.
Culver’s
Culver’s serves thick-cut golden rings made with real onions that diners adore. “Fresh, hot, very flavorable. Would recommend and do again,” a Redditor says. “‘I’d put a couple of those rings on the burger!!!!” another adds. “Awesome for fast food and very good for non fast food,” a third agrees. “Culver’s the batter and the real onions are fantastic,” another explains.
Freddy’s Frozen Custard
Freddy’s Frozen Custard serves beer-battered crispy rings that diners say are delicious. “Freddy’s Steakburgers has some of the best onion rings in the fast food business,” a Redditor claims.

Whataburger
Whataburger is “committed to freshness” and even has a manifesto page on its website. The onion rings are no exception. “Whataburger has the best onion rings I’ve ever had,” a Redditor claims. I like onions but I’ve never been a huge fan of onion rings, this has changed everything lol. It’s so good.” Another adds: “Onion rings and the patty melt are the best things they have to offer.” “It’s even better when you dip it in the spicy ketchup!! The tempura batter REALLY elevates the ring,” a third chimes in.
Black Bear Diner
For a sit-down diner experience, Black Bear Diner has some tasty onion rings. “Absolutely delicious yummy yummy,” a Facebooker wrote. “I love them and eat them often instead of fries,” another adds.
Long John Silver’s
Long John Silver’s onion rings are dipped in the chain’s signature batter, which it also uses for fish and shrimp. “I go to Long John Silvers just for their onion rings,” a Redditor wrote. “They are so good.” Another added: “Heck yes they are. I’ve noticed that when you get them to go they stay crunchy somehow. Usually fried food gets soggy on the way home from the steam in the box or bag but these don’t.”
