Arby's seems like they're priced a tier higher than they should be, their sandwiches always seem to taste OK at first bite then go downhill fast. I wouldn't even go there any more if they didn't have

I wish that was true, then you could just hijack an Arby's tanker and have all the refreshing meat juice you could ever want.

I went back to Arby's to try Arby's sauce for the first time in memory, and it's...a basic vinegary barbecue sauce? I mean it's not bad, I was just expecting something more robust and distinctive I guess.

Was the roast beef ever secretly delivered in liquid form in a big tanker truck? Feel free to put the answer in spoilers if it would endanger your safety otherwise.

Well, I fell sway to the siren call of the fish sandwich today, they're actually solid. Maybe the best fast food fish sandwich, at least of the more common megachains. Weird that Arby's generally seems to do best at the things that aren't RB.

Folks, I'm sorry to report that the fish 'n' cheddar is a disappointment that I was unable to finish. It turns out they just slather it in the same cheddar sauce as the first beef, and the taste does not mesh at all.

Well the Fish and Cheddar still has the tartar sauce on it. It's really awful. Though I'm confused that someone expected it to be something other than the Cheddar cheese sauce they use on the Beef and Cheddar.

I could've sworn I'd had it before and it was just a slice of cheese until I rolled up and saw the picture on the drive-thru menu, and my hunger for fish and cheese was too powerful by that point

I want to say that cheddar/american type slice and battered filet sandwich are pretty much the only good intersection between fish and cheese, at least the only one that's coming to mind.

That's true, I do like a good tuna melt. It seems far enough removed from fish that it didn't come to mind.

I got a ginormous roast beef from Arby's today and I assume it was because I've only had fast food a couple times in the last six weeks, but gat dang was it the best sandwich I've had there.

I had a brisket sandwich today, and it was in a weirdly ambiguous middle ground between disappointing and surprisingly good. Like, there wasn't nearly as much meat as I expected, but what was there hit a surprisingly decent level of smoked flavor and rendered fat, almost like actual brisket. Yes, I am aware that staying inside for six months has possibly influenced my food opinions

Did the RB place change up its curly fry recipe? I got some today and they seemed to have a much more bland coating than they used to. Maybe just my local one loving up like they do sometimes :iiam:

I always assumed those came frozen in a bag and you just drop them in the fryer. I've had soggy or stale curly fries, but never ones lacking in seasoning.

Yeah I figured so too, the coating seemed a bit puffier and had almost no seasoning, I thought they used to be a bit flatter and have lots of pepper visible. Who knows.

Anyone tried the crinkle fries? I used to really like their straight fries when they had them, and they usually got made fresh too since everything defaulted to curly unless you asked.

I have not, but this solves a question I was wondering about earlier today where I thought I remembered them having a new site but I couldn't find it on their website :ms:

I'll give em a try sometime this week.

Agreed, but I'm also gonna reiterate my conspiracy theory that they secretly switched to a blander coating sometime in the last year. The photos on the website barely even show any flecks of pepper on them now, it sure seems like they used to at least *look* seasoned :tinfoil:

I sat through the longest Arby's line I've ever seen to get the crinkle fries. I was hoping they'd have some seasoning at least but now, just plain ol' plain fries. It feels sorta like trying to hype up that your sandwiches now come with white bread.

I won't forget this, Arby's :arghfist:

I tried the potato cakes, they basically taste the same as McDonald's hash browns but a little thicker. Tasty, but they're too tied to breakfast in my mind to fit with Arby's sandwiches.

But as you might recall, Arby’s recently announced that its brand new Crinkle Fries would join classic Curly Fries as a permanent menu item. And maybe three delicious potato concoctions is simply too much for one chain to handle, because Arby’s has confirmed to The Takeout that it has discontinued Potato Cakes.

I tried em too today and I think I felt about the same. It's just that kind of dense and bland chicken that seems like the most generic nuggets possible, they're not terrible but they're not anything I'd especially want again either.

I would like to resurrect this thread to ponder why Arby's is the only fast food chain I'm aware of that consistently makes fried mozz sticks that are consistently not only edible, but actually really tasty. Every time McDonald's or BK comes back out with them, they're half the size, cold, and a lot of them are just shells because all the cheese melted out. What's Arby's secret :iiam:
