" I'd like fries " vs " I'd like a(one) fries "

Hello everyone,
I thought I might get some help from you, so I'm writing this post here.

So, I have a minor problem with these sentences: I'd like fries, I'd like a(one) fries.

I know that first one is correct but am not sure if the second one is right because I' ve heard someone saying ' I'd like a large fries' before.

Are those sentences all correct? If they are being used commonly, are they grammatically correct?

Anonymous If they are being used commonly, are they grammatically correct? They are correct in very casual style when ordering food. To be brief when ordering, customers often abbreviate what they say.
