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.
I mean, to be fair, they have the meats.
When I worked at the mall post college I’d get their fish sandwich regularly during my lunch breaks. Underrated franchise.
It really depends on the Arby’s. Richmond VA has a fancy one with extra items others don’t have, and the restaurant is decorated like a redwood forest lodge, with canoes and totem poles and polished hardwood tables. Richmond also has a classic-style Arbys that looks like the 1970s but it’s run very well.
As a Richmond native, how did I not know this? I’ll check it out.
West end of Richmond at Short Pump. It’s perty cool for an Arby’s.
Thanks!
Of all the fast food joints, Arby’s is highly underrated.

Sous vide is a little more than just a “boiled hamburger”
Yeah, I don’t know why people hare Arby’s
They make these little buffalo sliders that are unmatched. I also love a nice double beef and cheddar with a cream sickle shake on occasion.
You know why. They get a triple beef n cheddar, large fries and a diet Dr. Pepper and then complain because “I always feel ill after eating Arby’s.”
I can see this being an unpopular opinion. I regularly hear people complain about Arby’s. Also, at least once a year I’ll hear some rumor about maggots or the plastic wrapped, pre sliced roast beef resembling alien heads in formaldehyde.
TBH, I try not to think of that. They make a good brisket sandwich. Curly fries, too. Those are great. And, like OP says, even their chicken is good.
Your Arby’s has pre-sliced roast beef? I’ve had to wait because they needed to slice more beef.
I don’t get why this is an unpopular opinion. I love Arby’s. And I’m extremely sad that the only one within a 50 mile radius closed during COVID and I can’t have Arby’s anymore.
They said it on the Simpsons that one time, and now everyone thinks they’re edgy and original for referencing it.
It was a thing with Jon Stewart on The Daily Show too. They did a nice sendoff for him when he was leaving the show
I suspect that this a simultaneously an unpopular and opinion. From the perspective of internet culture, dunking on Arby’s and making it into a meme is popular (and therefore liking it is unpopular). On the other hand, I think the “silent majority” (including me) agree with you. So while it’s popular to say that Arby’s sucks, the more common opinion is “yeah, I’ll eat that”.
Edit: just in case this sounds like a criticism of your post, it’s not meant to be. It’s just a thought I found interesting.
I do enjoy the French dip and Swiss. I do miss the potato cakes though. I liked to dunk the potato cakes in the leftover au jus sauce.
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.

Applebees use to have good food. Not sure when it changed as I was never a fan but people raved about it.
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.

Love the “Spicy Three Spices Sauce”, with “Horsey Sauce”!
I can’t believe this thread is running with no mention of jamocha shakes. That shit is nectar of the gods.
Oh shit, those things were so good. When I was a kid, a classic roast beef with Arby’s sauce, curly fries, and a jamocha shake was the dream. My parents didn’t really let us have fast food much, so it was always super exciting when we did, and that was the ultimate combo.
I love them but they also make me poop.
When you get older that’s not necessarily a bad thing.
You’re not totally wrong, you just haven’t mentioned the bowel-ripping indigestion either.
It was good. I loved their food.
Then I got food poisoning from them and I’ve never been back. Hours of expelling Arby’s from both ends tends to sour you on their food.
You must be one of the eight people keeping Arby’s afloat.
