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.
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.

I used to eat there a lot when they had the never ending riblets. Wouldn’t be surprised if I am the reason they stopped doing that. On more than one occasion the manager gave me coupons for so much % off the next visit if I would leave.
Pretty much every big national chain in America has followed the same trend line. Fridays, chilli’s etc. They all rose.to popularity, spread all over and once they reached saturation started cheating out on ingredients and quality control to make more money.
Everyone I’ve ever met who said they hate Arby’s has also admitted that they have never actually eaten at Arby’s.
Arby’s is good. I just wish it was cheaper/came with more food. They’re too good to be that small. Especially the brisket. 😩
My go-to item is the Meat Mountain.
All about the horsey sauce
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.
I mean, to be fair, they have the meats.
