The Truth About Arby's Roast Beef

What's the best thing about Arby's?

That isn't real meat.

I'm from the UK and am currently in the US - I had Arby's for the first time about a year ago and loved it. Had my 2nd Arby's only yesterday. Just a plain roast beef sandwich, nothing in it other than roast beef and it's the best. Just the right amount of food, not too much, not feeling bloated or over eating or too many calories and I also love the fact that the food you taste is just the bun and the beef, there's no mustard/ketchup to hide those flavours and no cheese. My regular there is a Classic sandwich with fresh lemonade :) love it and will always go back! I rather have Arby's than any other fast food chain.

It is so easy for compeating fast food chains to trash talk Arby's, but once you've tried it for real, you immediately see the lies. If you have five compeating fast food chains on one city block, you need to stifle the competition.

I worked at Arby's in the mid 90s and invented the Big Montana. They never gave me credit, I came up with it when I would close with one of the assistant managers who used to be my friend. We hated that there was so much Roast Beef left over from the sham. So, before we threw it away, we made ourselves some killer sandwiches. Mine was Lettuce, Tomato and Mayo on a regular bun piled high with meat. Admittedly mine was probably a two-pounder. lol Loved that roast beef. Still do.

Pork casing?

Arby's roast beef comes in frozen, already sliced.

They don't even have a slicer anymore. Hardee's had the best roast beef when they were sliced there

I ate a plain Arby's roast beef sandwich and needed a nap within 20 minutes!

Last time I had Arby's was the early 1980's right before I moved overseas and it was great. I returned to the US in 2016 and on a road trip I stopped at an Arby's. It was total shit, I threw it away! Not only did it NOT look like the advertisement but it tasted so artificial and bad. One million views and only 8500 likes says it all!

I don't eat Arby's roast beef because it's healthy. I also don't eat it every day. It's probably one of the best fast food restaurants if you're going to eat "unhealthy."

I have NO IDEA where all of these statistics come from, BUT I can say I was a "Crew Leader" at Arby's on Memorial Drive in Clarkston, Georgia. The Roast Beef came in a box with 2 Frozen, plastic wrapped loaves. We defrosted them in the plastic bag and they were like jelly when placed on a roasting pan for the oven. I was there just as RTM introduced Oscar Mayer Ham and Swiss, (and Turkey) if memory serves me well. At one time, Hardees Roast Beef also used the same RTM beef product, straight away from Texas. I would make a variety sandwich with the new options. The Cheese for a Beef n Cheddar is hand pumped from a large, food service, cheddar cheese flavored container. 1.75 ounces was the norm for a Regular Roast Beef, but I would put more on when preparing dine in orders for DeKalb Central female students! Take a slice of Roast Beef from Arbys, and take a slice from a local deli and tell me there is no difference? LOL. Flavor is king, meat paste it is, add garlic, onion and other proprietary flavors. I miss the potato cakes.

My wife wanted to try their brisket sandwich, I'm so happy I took her to our closest Arby's 20 miles away. It turned out to be her last summer.❤

This totally doesn't seem like an ad for Arby's at all. Just an honest review by some genuine Arby's lovers, no doubt. When they assured me that Snopes confirms that its real meat, all my fears were immediately assuaged.

It was super once.
Its total crap now
The buns are full sawdust
Meat is bone dry

"Eat this burger and be happy, but not like the girl who you talked to last time"

Arby's roast beef is rubber.

Only 360 calories!!!!!!! .......well so is a dog turd but that don't make it healthy

Too bad they are closing so many Arbies down.

Swiss king

You quote Snopes? Geez, Mashed just lost ALL credibility with me by quoting a group proven to be as fake as Wikipedia. Please people, learn about the agendas from the places you get your so-called "facts."

I opened a new store in Ft Lauderdale Florida back when Arby’s had only been in business for three years. Back then the meat was REAL hunks of beef, not the formed globs they use these days that are made under pressure. We actually cooked the beef in big ovens, each piece of meat wrapped in foil with an oven thermometer in each piece. What a wonderful aroma in the store

I’d rather eat fried SPAM than whatever that nastiness is they’re slicing up now

Sigh Everything reminds me of my Ex.

This is an Arby's ad, nothing more. They oaint a rosy picture but dont tell you things like the long wait to get your order, precutting of roast beef, (its not always sliced to order) and fact thier main roast is a bag of gelatinous stuff with scraps of meat in it before they cook it.

I haven't been back since they discontinued potato cakes.

It's not roast beef. It's pressed and formed bits of beef, and they are not roasted but rather steamed. The only major chain that actually sold roast beef is defunct (Roy Roigers' Roast Beef).

But that stuff in the roasting bag is just pink slime before it's "roasted"

They’re not real roast beef I hear but a big slob of gelatin

Fun Fact: The arby's head of sandwich voice actor (the time of this video) also voices Bob on Bob's Burgers

As far as wagyu goes, I stick with American Beef Breeders ANGUS. ❤

Arby's ( so called ) roast beef is not the same as what they started out with in the beginning. It's flaky & dry & sure doesn't taste like MEAT. The sandwiches are semi- warm or just plain cold. Totally disgusting.

I worked there, it's not real roast beef

It is no longer actual whole roast muscle meat. It is crap processed food.

May as well go to the supermarket and buy cheap rolls, Buddig "roast beef" slices and whatever else processed crap you want to pile on along with some cheap steak sauce.

This channel is just paid advertising.

When i was young my dad took me to Arbys here in Akron Ohio my first visit. When you walked in the order counter had a large deli slicer on it and you got to watch your sammy being made. That piece of meat on that slicer was a ROAST FRIENDS. When they got rid of the slicer i knew something went to hell. Not beef anymore.

Don't care what anyone say's , I like arby's , eat what you want 🙂

We got the beef alright! It's Morphin time!!!

For what people pay for Arby's they better be using high end ingredients.

I brought one today...and I haven't ate one in about 6 years. It was so dreadful....nothing but process meat at it best!!!! I took the sandwich apart and looked closely at it. It's nothing like the meat they used 20 years ago or more. Anyway I will stick to their fish sandwich which is great during Lent Holiday.

Their crispy fish is now a lot smaller thinner than before and on top of that its more money i wont be going to Arbys anymore also their beef Gyros used to be 2 for 6 now just one is expensive.

Roast beef is very good.

Snopes is NO authority! Most of us know by now that they are biased and help push left agendas.

The raw meat at arby's is a cognitohazard

So it is true that the meat is a liquid! They say its ground, has mixed in gels and whatever into a formless bag of mush that resembles a liquid. It is then baked into solidity!

Look closely the next time u get a beef n cheddar. The beef has air bubbles in it. I've always wondered why my meat has bubble sin it if it wasnt in liquid form at one time or another of its processing before it hit my sandwich.
Still pretty good taste tho lmao! Bit expensive for a gel sandwich also...

too bad their roast beef tastes like plastic and it's grey. I go to arby's once every few years and it's always a disappointment. The last time was last year and for the first time I realized that Arby's was not only disappointing, but it had become a $15 disappointment.

Snopes lying Libtards yeah right

That's Bob from Bob's Burgers, not the head of sandwiches at Arbys

They slicing the roast beef a little thin these days! Thanks Brandon.

Yo everyone!!!! Arbys employees brutally assault every piece of meat!! I used to work at the processing plant and like a majority of the meat were spit, pissed, and punched on. Like zero safety protocols
