I like Arby’s. The roast beef sandwich with their Arby’s sauce, their beef and cheddar, even their chicken sandwiches. They are delicious. Their curly fries have no equal, and the potato cakes are great too.
All about the horsey sauce
How is this unpopular? The company wouldn’t exist if people didn’t like eating there.
Chains aren’t necessarily popular because they’re great, but because they’re accessible and predictable.

Of all the fast food joints, Arby’s is highly underrated.
I can’t believe this thread is running with no mention of jamocha shakes. That shit is nectar of the gods.
Oh shit, those things were so good. When I was a kid, a classic roast beef with Arby’s sauce, curly fries, and a jamocha shake was the dream. My parents didn’t really let us have fast food much, so it was always super exciting when we did, and that was the ultimate combo.
It was good. I loved their food.
Then I got food poisoning from them and I’ve never been back. Hours of expelling Arby’s from both ends tends to sour you on their food.
Quick question.
Why ?
A beef sandwich? If I go out it’s because I can’t make it at home. I can make a beef sandwich at home for next to nothing. Why would I pay someone to do that for me ?
Maybe it’s just me. Probably is
It’s not just you. I usually make mine at home too because i think they’re far superior, buuuut every now and then you want something different. I gotta say their roast beef sandwich is pretty good and i can’t get curly fries like that anywhere else near me. Same argument could be made for burgers.
Exactly. Why I tend not to buy anything I can make at home. If it’s not superior to my home made why am I paying for it. But again. I’m probably just wrong
I like Arby’s curly fries just fine, especially when fresh, but to be honest there’s something about the Kroger brand curly fries you can get in the freezer that slaps. I think it’s because the potato is a lot more prominent.
Can you slice it that thin though?
Yeah easily. Don’t think you need an expensive tool. Just a good quality knife. Sharp. Sharpen the blade before use and I don’t see why I couldn’t cut it to mm thickness.
I’m sure I’ve cut beef joints to translucent thickness before. If that’s the only thing stopping you. It’s do able
What cut of meat do you use to get that “greasy but in a guilty pleasure way” taste, how do you prepare it, and how convenient is it when we are in the middle of a busy day or driving through Iowa on I-35 and need something to eat around Dows?
I’ve no idea the cut of meat.
Considering it’s a roast beef sandwich I’d hazard a guess at top round roast. Suppose you’d need it to have enough length to cut into it properly to get those nice thick slices of beef.
I’m assuming the beef taste would depend on the fat content and marbling but I’ve no idea. I don’t like greasy so wouldn’t be my choice.
Obviously you are trying to goad me into failing which is a fun game.
I’m not an American nor do I live in ol USA. I think and plan ahead. With a beef roast that size cooked slowly when I had time. Might do me a week or less depending on if I had it for dinner or just for lunches.
I wouldn’t dare waste my time no money buying sandwiches while I was at work. However it is your prerogative how you spend your money and time. Just like everyone else
I was just voicing my opinion similar to others on the Internet
Here in St Louis we have Lions Choice. Best roast beef sandwhich you can get. I tried Arbys recently and the roast beef looked like rotting flesh. Never again.
I was raised on Arby’s, their fries are the bees knees.
Back when calories didn’t matter to me (and before I stopped eating meat), I used to split their 5 for $5 roast beef, toss the extra buns, and layer beef + a generous pump of Arby’s sauce, and a pump of horsey sauce on repeat. In total there was ~3 sandwiches worth of beef, ~5 packets worth of Arby’s sauce, and 3 packets of horsey sauce.
Toss in an order of curly fries and a jamocha shake, and you’ve got a meal fit for a king.
My other favorite growing up: there was an Asian restaurant next door to Arby’s that made a really great sesame ginger salad. I’d go there for a salad, hop over to Arby’s for an order of chicken strips, and make the most delicious Chinese chicken salad.
Ooh you brought back some good food memories.
Potato cakes have been off the menu for a year.
Edit: a word.
Join the sandwich hunt. It’s a very easy hunt.
I do enjoy the French dip and Swiss. I do miss the potato cakes though. I liked to dunk the potato cakes in the leftover au jus sauce.
Try their brisket sandwich, I was surprised how tasty it is.
And all hail the superior curly fries!

I like Arby’s, but it’s weird how thin their roast beef is. Their onion rolls are bomb though.
It’s called “shaved”, and all sandwich meat should be like this.
Arby’s is the best fast chain in Turkey rn. Their standard fries are amazing compared to others like BK, McDonald’s, Popeyes and KFC.
