They where free.

couldn’t agree more… at one time the best sandwich on the planet… now warm “artificial beef flavored processed lunch meat”…

That is HILARIOUS. Arby’s deserves the slam – their commercials are beyond annoying – I can’t mute the tv fast enough when they appear. besides the fact that the food is gross.

I love Arby’s. I’ll agree with my namesake that they aren’t what they were, but they’re still pretty good (compared to burger chains, certainly).

Their main problem is that they serve Pepsi and not the real thing: Coke.

You mean Arby’s was actually good at one time? I can get a better sandwich with Hormel and a day-old hamburger roll.

Hey, I like Arby’s! Granted, I’ve had a bad meal at certain locations where the potato item(s) tasted just nasty, but most of the ones I’ve been to have been good. I will also agree that they used to be juicier, but they still taste good! @herdleader58, you must live in the south… maybe Georgia? ;-) I prefer Pepsi products since they tend to be sweeter.

LOL!!!

I’m with Hamhock.

Years ago, many of my co-workers went gaga over the fact we were finally getting an Arby’s in our area. The first week after it opened there were lines around the block.

Once the crowds thinned out, I stopped in and ordered a ‘roast beef’ sandwich. Took one bite, paused, and spit it back out before throwing the whole thing away. I had to go home and brush my teeth and tongue to get rid of the taste but I’ll never get rid of the memory.

I once talked with a former Arby’s employee. He told a bit of how the “roast beef” was processed. I haven’t eaten at Arby’s since.
