    I really love onion rings but I'm also super picky about them. The have to be perfectly crispy. Mushy onion rings are the worst, so I don't order them for take out very often at all. I have made them myself, but it's been a longgggg time.

    Do you like onion rings?
    Have a favorite place to get them from?
    Have you ever made your own?

    Do you like onion rings? I do but rarely have them.

    Have a favorite place to get them from? There was a chain in Omaha, Nebraska back in the sixties called Kings Food Host that made the best onion rings. They disappeared before the turn of the century but I think they now have an offshoot called Don and Millie’s that carry a similar version. It’s been years since I was back there.
    I like the Outback’s blooming onion too although they are really not rings.

    Have you ever made your own? Yes, and they were a major fail. My dear Grandson made a frozen prepared, air fryer version this week and brought me a couple because he knew I liked onion rings!!! They were okay but what a sweetheart.

    I've never made my own but often get them in restaurants. I like a mayo/hot sauce dip with them. I like crispy ones with not too much coating on them.

    Do you like onion rings? They're fun. I'm a fan of onions and fried food is yummy but I don't choose it most of the time.
    Have a favorite place to get them from? No, I rarely have them.
    Have you ever made your own? Pretty sure I did make them once, many years ago.

    I don't eat them often, but I usually only like them in a restaurant so they are extra crispy. I always also eat them when they are way too hot, lol! I have made frozen version at home, but it's not the same. I have never tried making them myself... I don't fry foods at home, lol!

    I love onion rings but I'm super picky. They have to have a good breading and be crispy. Paces in Utah had my favorite onion rings. I haven't tried any yet here in Georgia. Hopefully I can find a place that makes good ones.

    Do you like onion rings? Oh yummy! I agree, they must be crispy!

    Have a favorite place to get them from? My house! :D

    Have you ever made your own? Yep! When we do fish fry nights, we often also make onion rings since we have the hot oil already going. We do a beer batter and they are so delicious fresh out of the grease. (not especially healthy, but oh so tasty!)

    Do you like onion rings? Yes!!! But I prefer batter-dipped to breaded.

    Have a favorite place to get them from? Not really.

    Have you ever made your own? Nope, I refuse to deep fry anything at home ... too messy!

    Do you like onion rings? some, yes. I like them to be crispy and the ratio of onion to breading must be skewed towards the breading. I tend to get one or two on a burger and then eat them first before I eat the burger itself.

    Have a favorite place to get them from? I'm a sucker for the ones at Red Robin, but basically never get them. We ordered them in December when my bestie was visiting from France and I have no idea where they all disappeared to while she and my husband were geeking out about superhero movies ;)

    Have you ever made your own? no. I would ruin them
