Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsHi there. How do people like, (or not) Arbys? I'm eyeing there bourbon BBQ in case I find one....
I love BBQ. Bourbon is one of the few hard liqours I like the taste of, so this appears to sound tasty.
Opinions?
NO Rush!

(4,576 posts)McD's "parts is parts" chicken.
Then suddenly they went to real solid sliced meat. So much better. I loved it -until they went back to the gross stuff.
It's at least 20 years since I have been back.
The sauce covers up the "taste" as so often restaurants use sauce to hide the "less-than-ideal" processing.

The roast beef is good if you drown it in ketchup
Orange cream shake to die for if Im really feeling self-indulgent
Then they have these commercials with their new burgers, they cut one open and its half-raw inside.

(10,705 posts)Arby's is part of the "Unholy Trinity" of Arby's, Taco Bell, and Jack in the Box of which, I shall not eat.
Also, Mike Lindell likes it, so that should tell you something.

Uggh. That stuff went through my gastrointestinal tract like General Sherman through Atlanta.

(3,294 posts)All of the fast food joints are charging crazy prices, but Arby's is one of the highest - I've found anyway. I can afford it, I just refuse to be gouged. Also, getting rid of their potato cakes was a dumb damn idea. They were unique to Arby's and so good.

(55,707 posts)are pretty good. I like junk food so I can eat their stuff, even the rubber band beef. don't have one near so don't go very often. I would try the bourbon bbq. I have no expectation that it is remotely real bbq, but might be tasty junk food.

Hmmm if it not remotely like real 'cue
maybe I'll skip it
I have limited income for creativite pursuits, and eating out, or take out - might not be worth it to spend $ on it.

(468 posts)I really like the Loaded Chicken Bacon Ranch Mac 'N Cheese. I wouldn't consider Arby's a health food place but I think its food tastes yummy

(460 posts)But, pre covid, they did have some great deals. I rarely go to any FF restaurants or any restaurants for that matter, mainly because I love to cook. With that said, BK or Taco Bell is my go to when I'm really in the mood for ff but mainly I hit the local pizza shop as pizza making isn't a skill I have aquired )

(508 posts)We only go when we get coupons in the mail. Yesterday we used a coupon and got two French Dips for $8. They have a few sandwiches that we like and when they send a coupon we will use them. This is not often, but is fun once in a while.
