Better question is... Do they make anything that costs less than $15? :)
The food is good, but I can get a Filet Mignon for almost the same price!

i love arby's i worked at quizno's i hate their food to expensive for what you get specially with that new rediculous 6" roll meal deal sandwich thing we where supposed to push to the customer when i finally quit it was horrible, btw if you eat there i would suggest never getting wheat bread (even though it is better for you) b/c its the first bread out of all the bread they sell that gets moldy and they try to keep it for as long as possible until the molds really noticeable.

steak n shake >>>> arby's! D=
plus to those of you complaining about the price for hte big food chains that are franchised to the people that want to run them they set the price the owners so each franchise can have a seperate price b/c the owner of that store sets what they are going to sell an item for and the actual store/join/headquarter place just pulls their flat fee from each item on the menu to make their money, an example would be that at quizno's the real meal deal sandwiches where 2.99 each but only $.60 to make and everything else was profit for the business and the franchiser

Dude... Have you had their fried chicken sandwich? Try the chicken bacon and swiss sometime. GOD! I'm hungry just thinking about it.

Here in Florida they killed the potato cake. No potato cakes at any across the whole state (I know every Arby's from Tampa to Vero.)

But the melts are 5 for $5 here, not 4 for $5. ;)

Roastbeef sandwich with some curly fries and a cold soda...yummmy. I agree with the posters about their prices are a bit high.

Arby's definitely has that special something. I believe humans refer to it as 'taste'

Arb's chicken sandwiches are great, and the junior roast beef is just such a great bargain. They are smallish but oh so good. Hell you can get 5 for like 4 bucks, and that's a full meal. Add in some curlies (i better say CURLY FRIES so some n00b doesn't say "short and curlies ehehheheh") for desert and you're stylin!

Beef and cheddar has always been the best!! :thumbsup:

Although it seems they have cut back on the roast beef and added more of that fake cheese.

Everything I've ever bought at Arby's, at least recently, has been VERY GOOD. The new wraps, the chicken sandwiches are better than Chic-fil-a, the salads rock... can't beat a Jamocha shake! :)

I'm just wondering. Am I addicted to Arby's or are they really that good? Should I buy into an Arby's franchise myself? ;)

arby's are money! i love the curly fries and the potato cakes...to bad only two are still around in my area

the arby's near my work is pretty ghetto, no one is hardly ever in it and yet it stays open. i think they sell crack on the side window.

I haven't eaten at Arby's in more than a dozen years. Back then, the question would have been, "Is there anything at Arby's that doesn't suck?"

I love their Chicken Cordon Bleu... and they Roast Beef sandwiches.

Now Arby's is great, but if they went 24/7, oh goodness I would go there instead of Taco Bell or Jack in the Box.

Wow, my mouth sure is watering right now.... lunch at arby's sounds good today.

The only thing that sucks about their turnovers is that they always give me a freaking cherry one instead of the apple. :(

The only thing that sucks about the arby's by me is that you wait literally 8+ minutes until you have your food (when you are the only customer) and that you can't get a full meal for under $6. Whereas Wendy's has me to my seat with my food in 2 minutes and I can get an entire meal for $3.
