Arby's - The Rise and Fall...And Rise Again

I work at Arby's. Let me tell you. Their tuition assistance makes you actually want to work at a fast food restaurant. My particular location is incredibly supportive of my goals, and I told them, as long as the scholarship is on the table and they continue to be supportive of my life goals, I'm going to want to work there.

Other than my extreme dislike for Reubens from anywhere, the food was always good. We got better reviews than the Wendy's across the road and the only real complaints we got were on wait times which is mostly just due to the GM only ever scheduling 3 people per shift(cook, cashier- DT or Front Counter was up to the Shift Manager, and Shift Manager.)

[@CBaskins420]

I'm going to be honest I started going to Arby's a lot more frequently once I found out they allowed people without cars to walk through their drive-thru. My wife and I are blind and always have a house near fast food options and when we won a midnight snack and all the indoors are closed we don't have any options other than pizza delivery. During the pandemic Arby's put up a sign stating that walk through drive-thru areas was allowed which to me is a welcoming to people with disabilities that don't have a car

Arby's is one of the only fast food restaurants that doesn't leave me feeling bloated and nauseous 30 mins later.

[@JCKingdom79]

You're absolutely right. Arby's is a heck of a lot healthier than many other fast food Joints. I do not really eat at Mcdonald's anymore because of the preservatives in their food. I ate Mcdonald's buy one get one free quarter pound cheese burgers receipt survey coupons for a while and one day I threw it up because the preservatives disagreed. For a long time all I would eat was McDonalds. I counted up all my receipts and it was around $325 over about a 2 year period. Recently when I went to McDonalds over the past 2 years I've spent maybe $75 but I only bought their breakfast. Off Topic but recently I've been buying gift cards at work when 4x fuel points and I've been hitting up Arby's between 2pm-5pm for their happy hour dollar sliders, Small Fries, Small Milkshakes ( super thick compared to Mcdonald's smooth slick feel) $5-$8 a visit. A small milkshake is all you really need from Arby's. It's the perfect size of Satisfying and all things good in moderation. If I get a medium I was in a stage where I had too finish it but it just ended up being too much the first or 2nd time I did that to an Arby's shake. So I Just get the Small from there on out. Also I never really have an Issue with Arby's food. One time the Chicken Slider I got recently was on the warmer too long and a little too much towards the dried out side than my liking but I just ate it since I never really have an issue. The only McDonald's I can go to is like 5 McD's locations away from my house. There's a McD's like every 2.5 miles in my neighborhood. So I haven't been gong to it recently being it's out of the way. Also they recently transformed it into a Depressed College Student Tech Savy Business cafe. I've been to it like twice since that remodel. Bleh. It's too Dark in the dine area. You could say McDonald's turned me off. When I eat at a Fast Food Joint I want to feel happy at the end because of Comfort food. McDonald's is loosing me in the rise, fall, rise, and fall for the second time. Long reply I know. Sorry I Ramble. ARBY'S We Have The MEATS! The next Woman I go on a date with will probably be a trip to Arby's. Taco bell hasn't received a dime of my money. I'm not a fan of Burger King, Halo Burger, Wendy's. Out of my wallet they haven't received more than $30 each. I used to love KFC. I quit Fried Chicken Earlier this year only having fried chicken about 3 times since New Years Day but not from KFC. Sonic is good but you have to go with another person. I don't attend Dairy Queen at all but like 2 or 3 times. It's ok for kids. I quit Subway Eat Fresh! Their Food is not as healthy as they try to advertise it. One thing making me realize that is their used to always be $5 Meatball Sub jumped up to like $6.87. Like I don't love your Subs $6.87 worth. $5 was ok and I was used to the Laziness but $6.87 I'll make a Ham and Cheese Hoagie at Home after after I finish this as a dine in being my last meal at any Subway. Then I gave my points rewards card to my sister to finish the 200 points for a free $2 off next sub and then I'll cancel the card. According to the app she has yet to buy anything on it.

I like Arby's a lot. I have a friend that's a manager - they take pretty good care of their employees, which I appreciate. One of the reasons they get so much guff is that their roast beef comes in as a liquid/paste. It needs to be sliced at the most particular thickness or else it tastes gross. I repeat, I like Arby's a lot. Their curly fries are the kittens mittens and their shakes are the bee's knees. Their milk shakes are better than sonic, Dairy Queen, and A&W (whose inclusion into the top shakes list may be surprising for some people).

Jeffrey Toman I used to work at Arby’s, the roast beef used to come in a powder that you’d have to mix with water back in the 70s-80s I believe, but today the beefs always came in as a solid form of meet. They are cooked overnight and sliced per order.

Meka Shant'e I forgot to mention that the one up at the mall closed last month. This was more due to the storm mall owners jacking up the rent prices. This left only 2 literal places in the food court. One of which is Orange Julius so I guess that counts as good? That food court used to be packed and now the entire mall is dying and the owners of it just avoided foreclosure.

dont even get me started on Arby's. That place is a joke. Their sandwiches taste like rubbery garbage, like someone put a bunch of wet, old sponges on a bun and called it food. It's a sham compared to the real deal. If you want a real sandwich, head over to Portillo's in Chicago. Now THAT'S a place that knows how to do it right. Thick, juicy roast beef on a soft, buttery bun, piled high with all the fixings. No contest.

I worked there in high school (and shortly after graduation until I joined the service) for 2.5 years. This was after 30 days at McD's where I immediately quit at my 30 day review because it was just disgusting. I still eat at Arby's at least 2-3 times a month (sometimes more because my kids love it). It's where I met my wife of 22 years. The owners of our franchise, the 3rd highest for business in the country at the time, were constantly in the store setting a good example and doing everything from working at the counters and cleaning themselves, to cooking, to the manual landscaping. They were always super respectful of their employees, and I never saw anything but the best work from them. True examples. I've actually ran into them a few times since I moved home after retiring and these multi-millionaires are still in the stores doing the same thing. The food quality has always been perfect and I've never seen them take any shortcuts that were the reason I left the other place... it was unacceptable and anyone caught doing anything but following company policies and recipes were corrected immediately. This is why I still eat there. They have standards and a quality associated with them... and they stick to them.

[@wildbill7081]

nice story when i go back to the USA and bring my Filipino wife she always wants to eat at Arbys she loves them. Over here in the Philippines they have lots of burger places but nothing like Arbys and they are big meat eaters here so if somebody would try to open up a franchise here I am sure it would do great and they love American fast food

I think to some degree Arby's pioneered the "fast casual" idea ahead of its time. A lot of the newer places cropping up have a little better quality ingredients, but also a little higher prices compared to traditional "fast food". Think Zaxby's, Smashburger, Chipotle, Panera Bread, etc.
