Arby’s is not that bad

r/

I dont go to Arby’s that often, but when I do its honestly pretty good. I dont really get the hate. I guess their chicken is kind of bad, but other than that I enjoy it.

    Curly fries with cheese sauce is delicious…and I like that they have a wider selection of sandwiches

    Yeah nah, no one actually thinks Arby’s is bad. The Simpsons just made a joke about it one episode and people really leaned into it.

    They’re good and the guy who wrote the joke also thinks Arby’s is good.

    Where are you seeing the hate for it?

    The Arby’s mix n match for 5.95 was the greatest fast food deal ever.

    I’ve always enjoyed it but it’s one of those things it can really depend on where it’s located. I’ve heard people say Domino’s sucks or they hate Pizza Hut.But it really depends on the employees there.

    Also, some people are just picky eaters.And they’ll complain about anything because they don’t get treated like it’s a five-star restaurant

    I don’t even think Arby’s not being bad is an unpopular opinion. The Simpsons joke was in jest. I’m an Arby’s enjoyer

    Everyone I know loves Arby’s. My only complaint is it’s a little high priced and it often takes longer than most places. Food is solid for sure tho.

    Arby’s hate is all myth. It somehow became cool to hate it so people say they do until they eat there.

    Damn now I need to get a beef and cheddar or three, I haven’t had one in a year or so

  33. Proof_Ad9324 Avatar

    Arby’s made me throw up the first time I ever had it. It was bad. I never gave it a second chance.

    I will also say that the one near me never has more than 2 cars in the drive thru at a time. Every other restaurant in the same shopping center will be packed at lunch, but Arby’s never gets busy. At this point I’m pretty sure this location is just a drug front.

    Best thing they have are the buffalo chicken sliders. Taste just like college cafeteria food. Good bread, lots of protein, decent sauce, and the chicken coating is decent enough.

    Iv honestly never seen hate against, if never really seen anyone under 50 say they loved it either.

    But the fact that they are still in business means there’s enough people going there regularly to prove this isn’t an unpopular opinion

  55. MonteCristo85 Avatar

    IMO, the problem with Arby’s is that its inconsistent from location to location. One may be delicious and another ick. The old “when its good its very very good, but when its bad its horrid”. Other places are more consistent, so people like it better.

  58. DATATR0N1K_88 Avatar

    They got a damn good Pulled Pork and Brisket sandwich for a limited time right now, I can’t decide which sauce is better; Anthony Anderson’s Chipotle BBQ or Cedric The Entertainer’s Southern Sweet BBQ🧐I kinda lean towards the Southern Sweet, cause I love it a lot but I am curious about mixing the two😋 chipotle by itself was kinda lacking💯 and I’ve always loved their Beef & Cheddar sandwiches💜 don’t think I’ll ever understand the hate it gets🤷🏻‍♂️

    This reminds me of a joke in the “Ask A Mexican” section of the Orange County Register years ago. Someone asked why there are so many Mexicans in the OC and he replied “If you want to go to a place where there are no Mexicans, go to an Arby’s”

  60. Rebel78 Avatar

    It’s literally the only fast food place I go to anymore. It’s very seldom, but I think it’s the best of any of those type places.

    Same, top 3 fast food restaurants in terms of service for me. Always fresh and quick, unlike McDonald’s which takes forever. Can never go wrong with curly fries, even their fish sandwiches were surprisingly good.

  65. blob_fish1111 Avatar

    Based on all these comments literally everyone likes it. I’ve always only heard bad things, but maybe this wasn’t really an unpopular opinion 😅

  66. BrilliantAd9671 Avatar

    How random. I went to Arby’s last weekend while on a road trip. Haven’t been in probably 10 years. Grabbed a beef and cheddar, some curly fries, and a Coke and went to town. I have to say, it was pretty good. The kind of good where you wonder why you never go back besides the occasion. IDK, I would place Arby’s as a top tier fast food spot.

  67. unclemikey0 Avatar

    Funny enough thinking back, when I was child I regarded Arby’s as the “high end” fast food place. Like if you only had a couple bucks, you could go to Taco Bell or Wendy’s. But if you were in the middle to splurge, to get something special, then that’s when you’d be at Arby’s.

    Honestly today, I’m just grateful for an additional option that isn’t pizza or burgers.

  68. lilbrybry29 Avatar

    I just went randomly today because I heard they had something similar to the now dead McDonald’s Snack Wrap, and it was actually really good.

    The White Cheddar Mac they had actually tasted like a white cheddar cheese. 8/10. I’m craving it now.

  69. ShadyMyLady Avatar

    They always burn the buns, and the way they drown the sandwich with that god awful cheese sauce. But the curly fries are great.

  70. Mot_the_evil_one Avatar

    I used to love Arby’s but didn’t eat there unless I had coupons. Then they got rid of potato cakes and I quit going. Then they closed.

  71. PolarBurrito Avatar

    Beef and cheddar for the win, such a greasy yet colon cleansing sammy

  72. StableScared1687 Avatar

    Agreed. Their market fresh sandwiches are so good. Their Reuben’s are surprisingly good. And of course the roast beef and curly fries are fire

  73. Alexastria Avatar

    Back in the day for the price is was bad and those that see how the beef comes in can’t stomach it but with everything else going up and Arby’s staying relatively the same it makes it almost reasonably priced now (like hungry man meals)

  74. NSA_van_3 Avatar

    This isn’t unpopular. They’re fast food that’s still doing fairly well

  75. AdditionalAd9794 Avatar

    I feel the same about burgerking I got a whopper and fiery mozzarella fries. And man, either they upped their game or I been sleeping on them

  76. Intelligent-Ad-1449 Avatar

    It’s a simple case of “it became trendy to hate on it so everyone did”. Most people cant really tell you why they “hate” it so bad.

  77. princealigorna Avatar

    Arby’s is good. Go there pretty often. But I do feel they’ve gown slightly downhill in recent years. I feel like they’ve expanded their menu too much and it’s hurting their main product, which is the roast beef. That said, I will never turn down the orange and cream shake, root beer float, or the potato cakes. Also, slightly downhill for Arby’s is still better than a lot of places

    Honestly? I only disagree with the chicken part. I’d give a cordon bleu a big ass blue first place ribbon if I were a judge in a culinary competition. Actually they should change the name to blue ribbon chicken I think.

    My town has 3 Arby’s, all out of the way from all the other fast food. So we forget it all the time, but when we remember it it’s always worth it.

  88. emmiepsykc Avatar

    Arby’s actual food is trash, but I’d eat a deep-fried boot if you put enough Arby’s sauce and Horsey sauce on it, so it works out.

  89. SarcasticGamer Avatar

    I had the chicken cordon Bleu sandwich a few months ago and it was so damn delicious. Probably the best thing on the menu.

    One of my only regrets moving to Brooklyn is not a single Arby’s 🤣🤣🤣 I loved Arby’s when I was younger, Beef & Cheddar with some Horsey sauce & Arby’s sauce and a potato pancake or curly fries. That’s the jam right there.

  121. realhorrorsh0w Avatar

    Their mozzarella sticks are amazing. It’s hard to find any mozz sticks you can get at the drive-thru.

    The last time I had Arby’s was 2015, and I got sick that evening. I’m sure it’s coincidence, but I’m still not in a rush to get back.

  123. Clarawrr Avatar

    I’m 20 weeks pregnant and I feel like my baby is made up of at least one quarter roast beef sandwiches from Arby’s LOL

    I buy the half pound plain roast beef and split it into 2 open faced sandwiches and use 3 packets of Arby’s sauce on each one 😂

    If they are having a BOGO sale I buy two and then I have four meals for the next few days, damn it even sounds good right now hahaha

  124. hiirogen Avatar

    I love Arby’s it just seems super overpriced now. I seem to remember as a kid they had like 4 beef n cheddar’s for $5 or something. Now I think the beef n cheddar is like $7.50 ish

  125. IndoorSurvivalist Avatar

    I went a while back when I had a DMV appointment and there was one close by. I was shocked how expensive it was. I went through the drive though and almost just kept going once i saw the prices. I got i think was a double roast beef meal. I took it home to eat it and there was no sauce in the bag. I ate it dry and it wasnt bad but the cost was not worth it and no sauce was a big dissapointment.

    Arby’s is probably the best of the fast food joints.

    That beef and cheddar on an onion bun slaps hard with some horsey sauce and their chicken tenders are the best all around. Then to finish it they come off the top rope and hit you with. Those curly fries. As far as drive through fast food goes 10/10

  131. scooby_tuesday Avatar

    I got a BLT at a truck stop Arby’s in maybe 2017 that I still think about. Last time I went they didn’t have it on the menu but they had the ingredients and made it for me anyways.

    Nah, I don’t think this is fair. I don’t really eat Arby’s but it’s not BAD. It’s actually pretty decent. McDonald’s, Burger King, Taco Bell, Krystal’s, and Captain Ds though? I would maybe feed it to a hungry dog.
