Arby's will be offering a premium barbecue sandwich later this year (date to be determined) called the Smokehouse Brisket.

The sandwich's main feature is thinly-sliced beef brisket smoked with hickory for 14 to 18 hours. The brisket will be served with melted smoked Gouda cheese, crispy onions, barbecue sauce and mayo on a toasted specialty roll.

The sandwich will be available nationwide with a suggested retail price of $5.29 for just the sandwich and $7.49 for the sandwich with a side and a drink.

The Smokehouse Brisket sandwich was tested earlier this year in April and May.

While Arby's has offered a barbecue sandwich before, with the value-priced Arby-Q sandwich, this marks the first time they're offering a traditional barbecue product in slow-smoked beef brisket.

It'd sound great without the mayo.

 

[I am Michael Bolton]

Looks disgusting.

 

[Funky Papa]

Brisket with mayo?

I'll show myself out.

 

[I am Michael Bolton]

Brisket with mayo?

I'll show myself out.

And you know the 'brisket' is the poorest of the poor in terms of actual quality

 

[Weenerz]

I doubt they will equip every Arbys with a smoker.

 

[jchap]

Bad BBQ sauce on roast beef does not make a BBQ sandwich.

The Arby-Q was day old roast beef according to a friend that worked there.

 

[CrankyJay]

I'd eat it. Mayo with BBQ sauce goes well.

 

[Tom Penny]

This is more appetizing

 

[Odrion]

You can always hold the mayo.

 

[daffy]

That shit looks gross and is too expensive. go to firehouse subs and get their brisket sub instead.

 

[BertramCooper]

"Mmmmmmmmm," said nobody.

 

[Espresso]

if I'm in the mood for BBQ I'll go to a real BBQ restaurant.

 

[Sub_Level]

Just wanted to say that the Wendy's Pretzel Bacon Double Cheeseburger from your last topic was excellent OP. Although a couple bucks too pricey. Sticking with Whataburger's All Time Favorites.

"Mmmmmmmmm," said nobody.

I just did. I love fast food.

 

[daffy]

smh Sub_level

 

[Ridli]

Eh, I'd give it a try. Sometimes you just don't have the time to smoke a flat or point yourself you know?

 

[Harry Potter]

This is more appetizing

Just realized that's Emily Ratajkowski.

 

[GodofWine]

And you know the 'brisket' is the poorest of the poor in terms of actual quality

"Actual Quality" is really vague, I know what you mean, but the world has discovered that fancy cuts like filet, are massively out flavored by cheap cuts like brisket and shoulders.

Most home cooks sadly were only cooking those to their FDA recommended temps of 165 and 145(?) respectively, meanwhile they both need to get to 185-195 to become the best damn meat ever.

(Now Im hungry and wish I threw a brisket or ribs on my smoker...)

 

[Stellactic]

That most certainly does not look good at all. Even their promotion picture looks like the brisket has been sitting in a warmer all day.

 

[SatelliteOfLove]

If you're getting your BBQ from fast food, you've already lost.

 

[Sub_Level]

smh Sub_level

I live in Texas and know what real BBQ is. But I'm the kind of guy that even likes the BBQ packets that McDonalds give you for their chicken nuggets lol

 

[XiaNaphryz]

Apparently this sandwich will start to be available within the next week or two:

The new Smokehouse Brisket sandwich is now available at Arby's for a limited time. The key feature of the sandwich is brisket that has been smoked with hickory for "at least 13 hours."

At least 13 hours, riiiight.

 

[TheRedMan]

Arby's is generally awful, this looks like it'll be the best thing they offer.

 

[Malvolio]

Arby's: Home of the rainbow beef.

 

[Bodacious]

I'm rarely in the mood for a sandwich like that, but when I am I'll go to Firehouse Subs. Sorry, Arby.

 

[Doug Heffernan]

That don't look like brisket.
Shameful...
