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.
So… if I agree with your opinion, am I supposed to downvote? I’m confused. Also, if I agree with the thesis but disagree with almost every supporting statement, do I upvote after I downvoted, leaving no vote? I’m too old for this internet stuff.
To sum up:
- I like Arby’s in general
- Their cheese sauce is awful
- Curly fries in general are awful and Arby’s curly fries are worse
- I loved the potato cakes but they stopped selling them
Curly fries are AWFUL???
Sorry I cannot agree to this, curly fries are the bees knees.
The actual spiral curly fries are great, the crescent moon ones just poke the inside of my mouth
You’re not totally wrong, you just haven’t mentioned the bowel-ripping indigestion either.
Quick question.
Why ?
A beef sandwich? If I go out it’s because I can’t make it at home. I can make a beef sandwich at home for next to nothing. Why would I pay someone to do that for me ?
Maybe it’s just me. Probably is
It’s not just you. I usually make mine at home too because i think they’re far superior, buuuut every now and then you want something different. I gotta say their roast beef sandwich is pretty good and i can’t get curly fries like that anywhere else near me. Same argument could be made for burgers.
Yeah easily. Don’t think you need an expensive tool. Just a good quality knife. Sharp. Sharpen the blade before use and I don’t see why I couldn’t cut it to mm thickness.
I’m sure I’ve cut beef joints to translucent thickness before. If that’s the only thing stopping you. It’s do able
What cut of meat do you use to get that “greasy but in a guilty pleasure way” taste, how do you prepare it, and how convenient is it when we are in the middle of a busy day or driving through Iowa on I-35 and need something to eat around Dows?
I mean, most people don’t have a meat slicer at home, and most store-bought sliced meat isn’t going to have the same consistency as you’d get from a proper slicer.
But, it’s the same reason people eat out anywhere: Because they don’t want to make it, themselves. I can make a chicken and rice dish at home, but I’ll still go to Panda Express from time to time. I can make my own burgers, but that doesn’t stop me from going to McDonald’s once in a while. I can unleash diarrhea with the force of 300 PSI into my own toilet from home, but sometimes I’ll let Chipotle handle that for me. Sometimes it’s just about convenience.
Do you need a meat slicer ? If you have a sharp knife you can cut to similar thinness.
If that’s the only obstacle, it’s very overcomeable.
Fair. I don’t eat out unless I’m eating something that I can’t make. I’m just super duper tight fisted. I’m not paying someone to make a Subpar meal for me. Tipping and driving. That’s less convenient than just throwing a beef roast in the oven for a few hours.
But each to their own
As a former employee, their roast beef would be very difficult to buy from a store or replicate at home.
Any attempt would likely be superior to what’s sold at locations.
In what world? It’s roast beef ?
I own beef. I cook it and then eat. ? Where am I going wrong?
I’m assuming the sauce or rub or whatever is costed in sugar or something sweet. Not impossible to replicate it.
It’s very processed bits of beef from other sources blended together then steamed in a bag to keep shape. Like a giant beef hot dog.
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.

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.
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.
