Hi there. How do people like, (or not) Arbys? I'm eyeing there bourbon BBQ in case I find one....

[electric_blue68]

I love BBQ. Bourbon is one of the few hard liqours I like the taste of, so this appears to sound tasty.

Opinions?
NO Rush!

1. I eat at Arby's about every three or four years.

It reminds me why I waited so long to go back.

[electric_blue68]

9. Ha!

[birdographer]

2. Their roast beef is too processed for me

Stopped there recently in desperation, can wait another 15 years to go back...

3. I will stop at Arbys in August & September to get their pecan chicken salad sandwich on the whole grain bread

Never tried the Bourbon BBQ

4. When I first tried it 30 years or so ago, it was "formed meat" i.e. not just a slice of a real cut of beef but more like

McD's "parts is parts" chicken.

Then suddenly they went to real solid sliced meat. So much better. I loved it -until they went back to the gross stuff.

It's at least 20 years since I have been back.

The sauce covers up the "taste" as so often restaurants use sauce to hide the "less-than-ideal" processing.

12. Got it. I don't know anything about them

Such as formed meat to real slices tobacco to "formed" again

[democratsruletheday]

28. correct...it's gross

couldn't pay me to eat there

5. I like Arby's once in a while

Curly fries, yay
The roast beef is good if you drown it in ketchup
Orange cream shake to die for if I’m really feeling self-indulgent
Then they have these commercials with their new burgers, they cut one open and it’s half-raw inside.

[electric_blue68]

13. Oh. I'll take a better look at that.

[LudwigPastorius]

6. I will not eat there because the food is nasty.

Arby's is part of the "Unholy Trinity" of Arby's, Taco Bell, and Jack in the Box of which, I shall not eat.

Also, Mike Lindell likes it, so that should tell you something.

[electric_blue68]

14. Ohhh, Lindel. 😄 Haven't eaten in a taco bell in 40ish years?...

Maaaaybe I've passed by a Jack-in-the-Box on rare occasion.

[LudwigPastorius]

17. My very last Taco Bell meal was out of desperation about 25 years ago.

They were the only option, so I rolled the dice.

Uggh. That stuff went through my gastrointestinal tract like General Sherman through Atlanta.

[electric_blue68]

18. Uh, oh!

[pnwest]

7. I have always loved Arby's, but I am incensed at their current "greedflation" prices.

All of the fast food joints are charging crazy prices, but Arby's is one of the highest - I've found anyway. I can afford it, I just refuse to be gouged. Also, getting rid of their potato cakes was a dumb damn idea. They were unique to Arby's and so good.

[XanaDUer2]

31. The potato cakes were why we went there

Won't go back

[Different Drummer]

8. The last time I ate there, I had one of their Reubens.

Loved it! I've never had the bourbon BBQ before, but would love to try it.

19. The thought of a Reuben from Arby's make me shudder

[Kali]

20. Turkey gyros

are pretty good. I like junk food so I can eat their stuff, even the rubber band beef. don't have one near so don't go very often. I would try the bourbon bbq. I have no expectation that it is remotely real bbq, but might be tasty junk food.

Hmmm if it not remotely like real 'cue
maybe I'll skip it

I have limited income for creativite pursuits, and eating out, or take out - might not be worth it to spend $ on it.

22. I do like Arby's.

It’s not top-shelf roast beef, of course, but it satisfies a craving. I imagine the bourbon bbq sandwich is probably pretty good although I’ve never tried it.

23. I love Arby's

I really like the Loaded Chicken Bacon Ranch Mac 'N Cheese. I wouldn't consider Arby's a health food place but I think its food tastes yummy

[electric_blue68]

24. TY. No... not exactly a health food restaurant 😄

Although you might eat healthier w certain choices

[Firestorm49]

26. I haven't been to an Arby's in 15 years.

[ImNotGod]

27. Arby's is one of the few fast food places in my town but I was never crazy about the type of sandwiches they sell

But, pre covid, they did have some great deals. I rarely go to any FF restaurants or any restaurants for that matter, mainly because I love to cook. With that said, BK or Taco Bell is my go to when I'm really in the mood for ff but mainly I hit the local pizza shop as pizza making isn't a skill I have aquired )

[electric_blue68]

30. Ty. Never went to FF restaurants much. I go restaurants occasionally for the kinds of foods I don't cook...

While there are a bunch of things I learned to cook over the decades.

29. Haven't had beef

In 3 years.

[beemerphill]

32. We like Arbys.

We only go when we get coupons in the mail. Yesterday we used a coupon and got two French Dips for $8. They have a few sandwiches that we like and when they send a coupon we will use them. This is not often, but is fun once in a while.

[jmowreader]

34. The French Dip and Swiss is okay

I also like the Beef and Cheddar. Pouring melted cheese on that sandwich makes it pretty good.
