Do you eat a Arby's?

**Doug** · 12-30-10, 07:40 PM

Arby's is all about eating super cheap. You can get like 4 of the $1 sandwiches for well $4 and a water....then drink whatever you want from the self-serve fountain, toss the extra bread and be well fed for $4.

Works well for $4, then decide if you want to spend $4 or $14 or $44 to eat dinner. Arby's works at the $4 level.

Kinda looks like canned Spam wrapped in plastic. The Ham was okay though, JMO.

I hear that it looks horrible before it's cooked. I guess the fat misture melts when it's heated and that's what makes it juicy.

Even still, I like Arby's. I like the Beef and Cheddar and the regular roast beef with BBQ sauce on it. I used to like the ArbyQ but I've tasted much better BBQ sauce so I guess I'm spoiled in that area.

What is an Arby's?

**Richards** · 12-30-10, 07:43 PM

like the ham and cheddar. Don't really eat fast food but Arby's once in awhile is an exception. Turkey sub pretty good too.

We have great roast beef where I'm from in the Northeast and I want to emphasize, I am not a fast food snob. That being said, I went to an Arby's (there are virtually none within a 30 mile radius from me) about 15 years ago when I was on a road trip. Honest to God it was the most foul sandwich I ever ate. This is coming from a guy that will eat Mickey D's or BK or Taco Bell and not whine because it's not chateaubriand. There are those that say they hate fast food just to appear above it all. I'm not that guy so when I tell you this was horrible, I'm not doing it to knock fast food. I couldn't believe the fat and, well I will leave it at that.

Maybe it was a bad sandwich on a bad day because I cannot believe this could possibly become a national chain if that's what they serve on a regular basis. Never ate another one and don't plan on it.

Not sure where in the North you are, but Roy Rogers was always better, and if your in the Boston area Bill and Bobs are great,

I used to work there like 8 years ago. the food was way better than other fast-food chains.

I liked their Market Fresh sandwiches. Also their onion chips with that sauce was excellent.

Wished you hadn't told me that.

**unusialsusp5** · 12-31-10, 10:01 AM

roast beef extremely rubbery. no taste either. some people rave about it. but the guy from the northeast is right. no shore of ma has best roast beef sandwiches anywhere. not chains but mostly in regular pizza places or stand alone roast beef houses.

**joe blow** · 12-31-10, 02:57 PM

Well,it's better than a fast food burger

**Kindred** · 12-31-10, 03:12 PM

Arby's sucks balls, I stopped eating wendy's when Arby's bought them..

**Poker_Beast** · 12-31-10, 10:34 PM

I like the wraps, not much on their roast beef.

**flyingillini** · 12-31-10, 10:36 PM

No, don't eat fast food.

You eat at Arby's when you have $5 to spend.

arbys is different from everyday burgers any other fast food restaurant.

**CorkyThatcher** · 01-03-11, 02:20 PM

In college, a friend bet I couldn't eat 5 roast beef sandwiches in 5 minutes. I did it. Had hot flashes and broke into cold sweats. Haven't eaten it since. I do like those curly fries though.

**Ibrakadabra** · 01-03-11, 06:48 PM

5 of those in 5 days would still be way too much. One now and then is alright though.

**Doug** · 01-03-11, 07:10 PM

I had it about 4 hours ago....still haven't had to take a SHVT.

The sign of primo food !

**BeatTheJerk** · 01-03-11, 07:10 PM

Chicken Kitchen - Chicken fita pita pocket. With sour cream and guacamole and curry mustard sauce. Very tasty ..........

**brokenlock** · 01-04-11, 12:37 AM

I liked Arby's when they didn't have a value menu. 5 years ago when I lived in SC it was the only fast food place I could eat at that didn't have a lot of trashers eating there.

**Cuse0323** · 01-04-11, 12:41 AM

love arbys, i've been getting corned beef reubens there lately. taste great but you can tell they're not so healthy, no fat on them. it's gotta be some processed stuff just like their roast beefs which are also delicious.

edit- obviously there's fat on them but it's not the type you bite into and can feel like a real sandwich.
