I mean when you look at the whole spectrum of fast food chains, there is a lot worse than Arby's isn't there

Spoiler

This thread may or may not be fueled by my trying to figure out what to eat for lunch.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Yes.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

I'm thinking yes.

 

[water_wendi]

i liked Arbys a lot. Theyve gotten too expensive though. A few years ago it used to be 5 roast beef and cheddar for $5. Now its like 2 roast beef no cheese for $5.

 

[XenodudeX]

Arby's is kinda poop. Their curly fries are godly though.

 

[daycru]

Arby's is fine. It's a roast beef sandwich, impossible to fuck up.

 

[PigSpeakers]

I like Arby's, but I'll eat most things, so what do I know?

 

[Mesousa]

Simpsons killed it with that "I'm so hungry, I could eat at Arby's" joke a couple of decades back.

It just seems so cheap. Who does t have luncheon meat at home?

 

[Intheflorsh]

They're more plain mediocre than bad.

 

[Strife In a Teacup]

I think it depends on where you live. Some states it's terrible, some it's like a "medium" level fast food chain like Wendy's.

[Snuggles]

It's delicious trash. Love it, probably the tastiest major chain.

 

[CREMSteve]

It's delicious. Get gravy and straight fries with a standard roast beef.

 

[Machine]

Making fun of Arby's is like making fun of Aquaman - misguided but trendy.

 

[CheesecakeRecipe]

It isn't awful but I hardly ever feel "full" from eating something there. It's like a bland midnight snack you reheated in the microwave.

 

[Loofy]

I dont get why people go there. A roast beef sandwich from the grocery store tastes infinitely better.

 

[Delta Assault]

Yes... yes it is.

 

[Yaboosh]

Except the roast beef tastes nothing like roast beef.

Get some Boars Head roast beef from the store and make a damn good sandwich.

 

[demon]

I haven't had Arbys in ages but I used to like their roast beef sandwiches with that melted cheese on it. Actually I think the last time I had Arbys was the summer of 2005 when they were selling reuben sandwiches. I got one and it was alright.

 

[PseudoKirby]

Arby's is kinda poop. Their curly fries are godly though.

Jack in the box has better curlys tho

 

[Ryaaan14]

I don't understand the Arby's hate AT ALL. It is so fucking delicious. Regular roast beef, curly fries, and a chocolate shake. Hnnngggggg

 

[TheSinkingKnight]

Those curly fries are damn good though.

 

[Glitchfire]

Arbys is good. But they need to slash prices before I go there again.

 

[Strife In a Teacup]

I used to get the Chicken Bacon Swiss all the time and it was awesome, love their honey mustard on it. Then Jack in the Box and Wendy's copied it (I like theirs too, lol)

 

[Suite Pee]

It was good, but I haven't been there since they ended 5 for 5. Two roast beef sandwiches, curly fries, and a soda. Mmm.

 

[jhmtehgamr20xx]

No. Not if you put crushed red pepper on it. Then again crushed red pepper makes everything taste better.

 

[maxcriden]

It's one meal. It's not health food by any means, but if you eat well in general, no need to deprive yourself as long as it won't make you feel unwell. Have your beef 'n cheddar and curly fries and enjoy it.

 

[Verelios]

I once ate at an Arby's on my way home from school. This was about 12 years ago.

I still remember the smell of vomit on my jeans as I upheaved that disgusting chicken shit they call a sandwhich.

So...mixed bag?

 

[Snuggles]

Yeah, I don't see how it's worse than any of fast food joint. I haven't been there in ages but I used to get a big ass sandwich, chicken tender and curly fries when I had the munchies and it hit the spot, hard. So savory. 👌

Hahaha, this is so dramatic. What's wrong with your body?

 

[SneakySneaks]

It's shit. Take it from someone who grew up in the Boston North area (literally every small town has a "destination" Roast Beef shop). You need rare/medium-rare beef, fresh mozzarella and James River BBQ sauce for a great sandwich.

 

[ViperVisor]

Seems to vary day to day.

Sometimes the french dip and swiss would have nice and thin slices of beef sometimes it was like it was cut with a turkey carver. Same when I tried the Reuben. 1st time it was good. 2nd sucked and I didn't eat half of it.

 

[MIMIC]

IMO, absolutely not. I've always loved Arby's and hated the fact that there were so few of them where ever I go.

 

[Halo 2]

Once they got rid of the 5 for $5 deal I considered Arby's bad.

But damn they have the best fries and those cheesy beefs are to die for.

 

[fredrancour]

I've only eaten there once but it tasted less like real food than almost any alternative fast food I can think of. The meat product just felt unwholesome. Even McDonald's processed meat products feel closer to grocery store ground meat than Arby's sliced beef did to deli roast beef.

 

[Exalted Terraforce]

As previously stated, their curly fries are other worldly. Im talking Rally's tier good.

 

[OneEyedKing]

Arby's is the only fast food place that makes me sick every time I've ever eaten there so yeah

 

[Dead]

That sounds good. Im gonna go get this for lunch I think.

I will report back if end up upheaving vomit after I finish if I do get it

 

[Schweinehund]

It's fast food, compare it to other fast food. Its good enough to eat but not good enough to want every day or even every other day. If it were bad, Arby's wouldn't be in business.

Maybe you're allergic to chicken?

 

[zychi]

Not if you get some coupons and get roast beefs for $1. If you pay anymore then that, you're overpaying

 

[kirblar]

Arby's is great, but the Roast Beef approaches Taco Bell levels of bathroom runs.

 

[Tenumi]

Its completely fine, at least up here in West Michigan. They have the only french dip subs around that I like. Nowhere else seems to come close, to me.

 

[rpmurphy]

The mozzarella sticks from there are pretty good.

 

[Deleted member 8095]

Bottom tier fast food. And that's saying something.

 

[Eidan]

I stepped foot in an Arby's once years ago. I was starving, and didn't have a car, and the Arby's was the closest chain next to the place where I was having a meeting. After staring at the menu for 10 minutes, I decided to walk a mile away to a nearby McDonald's instead of eating anything there.

 

[Yaboosh]

This is a good explanation of my problem with it. The roast beef is just so far from roast beef that it is unsettling.

 

[zer0blivion]

It's better than McDonald's, but that's not saying much.

 

[Anustart]

I put on my monocle and top hat and say it is vile filth good sir. If my meal wasn't hand prepared by an authentic foreign establishment and isn't a tiny hole in the wall local eatery, its cardboard!!!

 

[Rhomega Beta]

I went there about a year ago. I enjoyed my roast beef sandwiches. Would go again.

 

[timetokill]

Yes, it's terrible. No reason to go there when there are surely other options nearby.

 

[Hollycat]

Back when they were the same price as mcdonalds and cheaper even, they were well worth it. Now a plain roast beef sandwich I can make myself for about 60c costs $3.
The price of their Arby's melt has more than tripled in the last 6 years, and that's just insane.
