I was just over in /co/ discussing a Family Guy joke about Arby's being terrible,and I have to say I disagree. It's not like a super great restaurant or anything, but as far as fast food goes it's pretty good imo, especially those jamocha shakes and curly fries. The sandwiches are bretty gud too. However, a slight majority of the anons in that thread think Arby's is pretty much literal shit on a bun.
What does /ck/ think about this?
Horsey
Sauce

It's great. Overpriced as fuck though. They used to have a 5 for $5 deal. Now it's a 5 for $10 deal. And getting just a roast beef mid is like 5 bucks. Makes me sad.
>>7654779
Arby's is great. Had it for the first time recently and it is my new favorite fast food place
>>7654789
I hear that. Used to be my dad would just pick up a bag with like 5 roast beefs and a bunch of sauces, then we'd go to town on them with my brothers.
Protip, put the curly fries on top of the beef under the bun. Makes the sandwich 20% cooler
Waaaaaaaay overpriced but delicious and worth it with coupons
Also I eat Italian cold cut sandwiches everywhere and ironically the Italian at Arby's has to be in my top 5. Really really good
I like arby's
>muh roast beef n cheddar
>muh curly fries
>muh mozzerrella sticks
>muh criss cuts
what's not to like?
>>7654803
sounds comfy af
Arby's "roast beef" comes in a gelatinous form in bags that they heat to turn solid. Shits disgusting but delicious.
Its ok, about once every two weeks I go in and get the usual
>Roast Beef Mid
>Large Curly Fry
>As much Arby's sauce as they can fit into the bag
Put fries on the sandwich, drench it in Arby's and enjoy
>>7655315
I call bs. You won't ruin Arby's for me.
>>7655315
No, it doesn't

Btw, McDonalds eggs and chicken aren't "artificial" either, the fact that adults still believe these urban legends is retarded
i like arby's a lot and i'm not sure if it's just because there are none close to me so they're more rare or what but when i come across one i almost always go and get 2 jr roast beefs.. and a curly fry if i'm extra hungee
>>7655315
>gelatinous
> heat to turn solid.
hahaha
i love playground rumours

My all time GOAT is that McDonald's milkshakes are made from Potato Flakes
>>7655372
I like the one about Tropical Fantasy
>>7654779
I've only gone once. The meat tasted really gross on the thing I ordered. I never intend to go back. It kind of made me understand how health food nuts perceive junk food in general. It was just kind of a nauseating yet flavorless lump of food-matter. It's my least favorite fast food place I've tried, and I'm a gutter-tier pleb who adores taco bell.
On one hand, maybe I went to a shitty location, was served by a single terrible employee, or got a fluke bad sandwich. On the other hand, I don't really feel like going back to try it again when this opinion appears to be so common.
>>7655393
What did you order? Quality at Arvys kinda varries from item to item
I think they have really good chicken sandwiches/tendies, and I love the fries. I like the roast beef too it just that weird effect...kinda like McDonalds burgers, it tastes like no other roast beef but is tasty in its own drugging way
Wasn't this place fucking finished only 6 months ago? Weren't they about to go out of business?
Now they back suddenly. Good for them. The free market at work.
>http://money.cnn.com/2016/05/09/investing/mcdonalds-stock-all-time-high/
Arby's has a lot of good stuff and I enjoy it a lot, but their corned beef is not good at all. They could also stand to invest in some better cheese.
>>7655593
Arby's or McDonald's?
>>7655348
precooked eggs are a fucking abomination unto god.
>>7654779
It's alright. Overpriced AF though, the cheapest sandwich worth getting is like $4.
>>7655616
Only those are pre cooked because McDonalds is FAST FOOD and they can't possibly scramble twenty orders of eggs in a matter of minutes, that is not fast
The regular "fried egg" eggs are cracked in the store, because thats easy
Also , there is literally nothing wrong with frozen egg. I make my own breakfast sandwiches all the time and keep them in the freezer to be reheated at work

Maximum comf was achieved one backpacking trip with the Boy Scouts. We were going to hike to our campsite about 2 miles through the night upon arriving, so my dad and I got some Arby's before the drive up to eat later as our last "civilized" dinner before the 4-5 days in the wilderness. However, when we got to the parking lot outside the forest it was raining super hard and showed no sign of stopping. The troop unanimously agreed to spend the night in the cars and hike in the next morning.
So that's how I came to be lying back in a car, seat reclined as far as possible, munching a cold roast beef with horsey sauce while listening to the rain patter on the car roof.
>>7654779
Some anon said in a thread like this that the farther you get away from Arby's HQ in Atlanta, the worse the quality is.
>>7655678
Grew up on Arbys in Brockport, NY and the shit was always amazing for at least 14 years straight. Every single time. Every order. Like 6-8 times a year or so. Not once did they mess up or taste bad. Went to one in South Carolina and the meat looked green and reflective and I threw it away.
>>7655315
It does come in a bag but it's just a solid chunk of meat, that's cooked in a giant oven for like 3 hours. Once it's done they take it out the bag and throw it on the slicer. Source me. I worked there when I was 18.
>>7654779
I like Arby's. It reminds me of going down on my girlfriend
It's fucking tasty and cheap (comparatively, nowadays) fast food. That's all.
It's not significantly healthier, but cured lunch meats are probably a little better for you than fried mostly-beef patties.
I think the reason most people "hate" Arby's is because they haven't tried the simple pleasure of a basic beef+cheddar with horsey+Arby's sauce, and a side of curly fries (Even better with the bacon+cheddar deluxe, which is literally just the beef+cheddar with lettuce, tomato, onion, mayo, and peppered bacon).
They probably just ate a dry roast beef sandwich and said "Fuck it, this is just a shitty sandwich I could make at home, and it sure as fuck isn't McDonalds or Burger King!".
The value menu is based as fuck, and their sides are pretty great too. It's just a shame there aren't more where I live (Major Canadian City), there's only one or two that I know of, in mall food courts.
>>7655746
I dont like their onion buns because the onion is so slimy.
The GOAT order is
>Beef & Cheddar Mid on Sesame Bun with Brown Sugar bacon if they have it
>Potato Cakes
>Peach Tea
>Chocolate Turnover (Now my Arby's serves Ghirardelli chocolate cookies which are great too)
>>7654830
The one before this and after this sucked shit, But this one made me legit go into a laughing/coughing fit.
>>7655611
It says it in the title you dumb mong
>>7655569
Calling things you don't like "reddit" doesn't make you fit in, anon. Grow a sense of humor that doesn't require you to look down on others.
>>7655685
They're pretty okay here in Binghamton, NY as well.
Beef and cheddar with curly fries is great.
Downside is pretty much every sandwich aside from the beef and cheddar has been pretty mediocre.
Pretty expensive for fast food though.
>>7655848
why is McDonalds relevant in an arbies thread """you mong""" ?
>>7654779
They make a pretty good Reuben and fish sandwich, I tell you what. Arby's kind of has a reputation of being the blue-collar fast food place and I think that's where a lot of the disdain stemmed from.
>>7655944
Not the OP but it's fastfood, so its not hard to understand why it's relevant.
Also, looking at the video in that article made me cringe.
>New McDonalds Breakfast Bowls with Kale
>Let's get into the oldest dying meme of a plant and forget that our major market is poor families and college kids!
I swear, foodies are ruining fast food. If I want something like a breakfast bowl with kale I'd go to some yuppie fast casual place in the city.
>>7655908
Chick fila or Wendy's would probably be the best quality for the price.
>>7655979
they're not 'forgetting' their major market anon, they're trying a new business strategy as the previous one is starting to flag.
>>7655979
>yuppie fast casual
Kill me now. Living in Seattle this is very true. Every fast food place is gross unless it's $6+ an item with meaningless company promises (think chipotle)
>>7655989
They tried this before in the mid 2000s after Super-Size Me, getting rid of their Super-Size option and introducing more salads. They have been trying to introduce this for years. What suburban yuppie mom brainwashed by health food nuts and her gaggle of dried out coochie friends to get kale bowls at McDonalds?
>>7655991
I think that the only places to get okay food in the city now is small hole in the wall places or traditional pubs. Even traditional pubs are going into the gastropub fad, which gives them an excuse to lower the quality of the food and jack up the price.
>>7656009
The same lady I work with who thinks Taco Salads from Taco Bell are "very healthy" and claims to do Crossfit but is still 300lbs
>>7656009
i don't think it's so much about health as just going upmarket.
>>7656029
A lady like that is gonna hate kale.
>>7655870
I've been here near-on a decade, anon, and when I see newflaps barging in and yelling "REDDIT, REDDIT" at things they don't like, it wambles my jambles a little. I thought they were funny, the guy who posted them thought they were funny, and the guy who wrote them thought they were funny.
Pull the stick out of your ass and shape up, whippersnapper.
>>7656042
>wambles my jambles
gave me a laugh
>>7655849
confirmed for getting cooked
Au jus is a good sandwich but I don't like Arby's

One of my recent favorites
Anyone know why he has a fascination with gin?
>>7656034
Yeah but I think the point tis anon is trying to make is that's not a market that really can break into at this point. McDonald's has a niche market, and they're abandoning that group to compete with fast casual places, but the types of people that go to chipotle or panera aren't the same people that would really consider McDonald's as an option
>>7657580
gin is the arby's of liquor
>>7654779
That sandwich looks like absolute shit. What the fuck is that grey gelatinous meat?
>>7655774
Sub the peach tea for a shake or a root beer and you and I are soul mates
Never get the roast beef at Arby's. It's dog shit. Their fish sandwich is where it's at.
For what it is, I think Arby's is pretty decent, flavour-wise, if a little overpriced...
My issue is every time I eat there, I get very, very sick from the sheer amount of grease in their food. I vomit globs of oil. It's almost as bad as some other offenders (Long John Silver's, McDonalds, KFC).
>>7659320
No that'd be tequila
>>7659364
>eating fish at a restaurant where the meat is bad
>>7654779
Arby's is shit and I actively avoid it when I go out to get fast food.
>>7659399
Have a chicken salad sandwich.
problem solved
>>7659399
>vomiting globs of oil
>''meh, it's pretty decent''
Why do Americans have such low standards?
>>7659435
I said it tastes decent, not that it is decent.
And I'm not American.
>>7659435
Your average doner kebab is of similar quality on top of containing horsemeat.
>>7655849
Let me reiterate, they're so unfunny, that only people in a hugbox where nobody has to compete for a sense of humor, would find this amusing. If someone posted this as OC on 4chan, they would be confused by the lack of attempted humor and tell him to fuck off.
Or, to forego that long explanation, reddit-tier "humor".
>>7659543
The last time I ate Arby's was ~5 years ago. When did I say I kept eating Arby's, or any of the restaurants I mentioned? I've eaten there a few times -in my life-, but I've stopped eating there because it consistently made me sick.
You obviously know how to read, but you should probably work on your comprehension a bit. Pic related might help.
>>7659429
Well I wouldn't order the fucking meat from a restaurant where the meat is bad.
The fish is good.
