T&C Posted February 27, 2022 Posted February 27, 2022 Me, I find it horrible... although the curly fries are decent for fast food fare. Want roast beef? Get it sliced at your known quality deli... I use Publix for ours. This one, the roast beef sandwich, isn't rocket science. A good roll, hot af horseradish, and anything else you want to add to it. Arby's is a complete and utter failure. Random quote: I managed Arby’s for almost 8 years . All the “ Beefs” were 10 lbs . After defrosted they were just like a big square of tan colored jelly like goo with little spots of real beef here and there(very processed). Until they were cooked for 4 hours . Quote

If you have ever grown your own horseradish you know it will clean out your head in seconds... and when grinding its best to stay upwind for sure. Quote
Saxum Posted February 27, 2022 Posted February 27, 2022 I find Arby's roast beef ok for road food but fortunately I have not been to one managed by poster. Right now I pass supermarket delis which are never quality and often manned by people who often work other jobs and cannot provide consistent product or service. I buy my roast beef from Restaurant Depot, same place which supplies many delis and small restaurants in this area. My wife has a home meat slicer so she cuts it for me thick since I am eating without being on bread either as a snack or mixed in meals she makes. Quote
GETTOTHE50 Posted February 27, 2022 Posted February 27, 2022 like every other fast food place- every once in a while, it’s ok. several times a week it’s a problem Quote
unbillievable Posted February 27, 2022 Posted February 27, 2022 I think It's great. I eat there twice a year. I usually get 2 beef N cheddars. 2 Quote

I worked there in high school. The beef before being cooked looks like jello with fruit in it. 2 1 Quote
LewPort71 Posted February 27, 2022 Posted February 27, 2022 I was thinking of going to Arby's for the fish sandwich. Maybe not now. 2 Quote

The beef before being cooked looks like jello with fruit in it. Back in the '70s, the readers letters pages of the 'National Lampoon' were good for some off beat observations. One month, Ronald McDonald wrote in suggesting that people throw a brick through their local McDonalds, with a notation saying "You deserve a brick today!" Within a few issues, he had again written in, saying that they had found a way to incorporate the ground bricks into the food, so please PLEASE keep sending them in. 3 Quote
Bill from NYC Posted February 27, 2022 Posted February 27, 2022 I don't know why folks in WNY would go to Arby's in lieu of Anderson's. If there was an Anderson's down here I would go there every week or 2. I really enjoy going there. The fast food in WNY is clearly superior to the fast food downstate. A hot dog at Ted's is 10x better than Nathan's. The pizza down here is better, but of course this is jmo. 3 Quote
f0neguy Posted February 27, 2022 Posted February 27, 2022 Once or twice a year Arby’s Roast Beef is okay but I ALWAYS get a Jamocha shake! Quote
Teddy KGB Posted February 27, 2022 Posted February 27, 2022 It was good 20 years ago, the “beef” doesn’t taste the same or maybe I was just a kid and liked it more Quote
Marv's Neighbor Posted February 27, 2022 Posted February 27, 2022 Back in my college days, IF I had .69 cents, I used to love Arby's. Of course gas was 33 cents a gallon then, so it's a while ago. Have not been in years. Quote
BillsPride12 Posted February 27, 2022 Posted February 27, 2022 I actually really liked going to Arby's as a kid but being older now and after hearing the horror stories of people that have worked at Arby's I find it pretty gross. Haven't been to one in probably 12 or 13 years. I'm not a big fast food guy in general though. We have so many amazing food places in WNY the fast food joints are never too enticing. Quote
BuffaloBill Posted February 27, 2022 Posted February 27, 2022 Fast food is pretty much grease, bread, “condiments” and potatoes no matter where you go. I eat the stuff sometimes. If you are in pursuit of quality go to a quality (non-chain restaurant or cook it yourself. Quote
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted February 27, 2022 Posted February 27, 2022 In 2001, I bought the 5 for 5 Arby’s deal, and proceeded to eat all 5 sandwiches (over two meals). I then did not return to Arby’s for a full 15 years. 1 Quote

A hot dog at Ted's is 10x better than Nathan's. I have always heard that WNY and Greater Rochester are two of the few areas that cook a natural casing hotdog over a charcoal fire. Most other locations you get a 'skinless' dog that's boiled, griddle cooked, or rollered. 😳 Out of town gourmands can verify or deny? Quote

I don't eat their roast beef but I have had their gyros and like them. For a fast food gyro it's decent. 1 Quote
