    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.

    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.

    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.

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.

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

    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.

    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.

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

    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.

    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.
