    I don’t get the hate for Arby’s. The brisket sandwich and their sauce are good as fuck. Maybe it would have made a difference back when they first started and were like 5x more expensive than the competition (their signature sandwich was $0.69 when the next most expensive fast food was $0.10) 🤔

      I have a standing theory that people that hate Arby’s used too much horsey sauce, or gets older dry meat repeatedly. I don’t love the place, but they don’t deserve that much hate.

        1. Go to Arby’s

        2. Get their roast beef sandwich

        3. Stop by the grocery store

        4. Get REAL horseradish sauce

        5. Go home or wherever, put the real horseradish sauce on your roast beef sandwiches, enjoy.

        Arby sauce and their “horsey” sauce are garbage. Their actual foods are mostly fine.

          Is it wrong that I think the Arby’s sauce is kinda good?

          It’s not something you can really buy as a condiment, but it’s good.

              Thanks!

              With this info, maybe I can make my own beef & cheddar. Cook up don’t shaved beef, get some onion rolls for the bun, and use queso style cheese, plus some of this mystery BBQ sauce and it should be pretty close.

              There’s not many Arby’s near me, so if I really want Arby’s, I basically have to make my own.

      I had Arby’s one time, and it was terrible. I would go to literally any other fast food chain over Arby’s.

        I had an ex who was so excited to take me to Arby’s for the first time. It was gross. I held my tongue as she went on about how much she loved their horsy sauce and cheese stuff, but it was nasty. She had terrible taste in food.

      The curly fries are good if you can get them hot and, y’know, cooked all the way through. Arby’s is very consistently disappointing as an experience.

      Well, I don’t go there for two reasons -

      • Their vegan options don’t seem that interesting.
      • They don’t seem to have a presence in the continent I’m on.

        If you’re not willing to travel to another continent to get your food are you a Real Vegan?

          It was more supposed to be a joke about the second reason being much more significant.

          Edit: I think this was the first time I missed a black on white sarcasm flag. Oh well, it’s early in the morning, and there’s a first for everything.

      Yeah I fuck with Arbys, that sauce is dope and the Jamocha shake is pretty good too.

      I have a thing for bad gas station food too though so I might not be the best judge.

        I dunno, some gas stations have good shit. Had a pre-packed Italian sub from a Loves truckstop that blew most sandwich chains out of the water. Loves is kinda cheating as far as “gas station food” goes tho.

            Chicken strips are exactly what I was thinking! We have a “Chesters Chicken” attached to some of the gas stations here that have these big battered potato slices, they’re almost a meal by themselves!

            Ive heard of Krispy Krunchy chicken in a shell gas station before, i dont remember it being very good tho.

            There’s a chain called Huey Magoos that is pretty good. Zaxbys is great too but the nearest one is like, a 2 hour drive from me

      It’s not top notch, but depending on what you get they have some gems. The buffalo chicken sandwich is super simple and good.

        No, it’s not top notch. Is anyone else?

        Does McDonald’s or burger king make the best burgers? No! Not even close.

        You buy that shit because it’s there, not because it’s good. It’s just there and not something you hate. Good enough for Tuesday night I guess.

      It’s all just salty processed meat block. It’s absolute shit compared to the real thing. It’s like they are advertising fancy German brats and then serve you a hotdog.
