I love bbq so I was tempted to try Arby’s Smokehouse beef short rib sandwich.
Texas toast seemed to be bread that was toasted. Tasted fresh with a nice mild flavor. Little onion rings had potent fried onion flavor. Beef short rib was tender and had a smoky flavor. The strongest flavor was the tangy bbq sauce. It overpowered all the other flavors. Overall the sandwich was good. I prefer it to burgers at places like Jack in the Box or Burger King. I would like this sandwich more if I could get the sauce on the side and apply it myself as I would like less sauce.
Curly fries had a bit of crunch and a nice seasoned potato flavor.
I also tried the apple turnover. There were a bunch of them sitting around behind the counter. Very flaky texture. Apple filling was sweet and had a nice apple flavor. The pastry itself didn’t taste fresh. I feel that were made in the morning as the pastry tasted like it had absorbed the nearby odors. I would be interested in trying a fresh one if I was visiting when they first opened.
2nd visit I tried the Smoke Mountain sandwich with bbq sauce on the side.
Looking at the sandwich on the website I thought the sandwich was huge and going to be a huge dinner.
The reality it was more a lunch size meal with way less meat than depicted in the picture.
Nice smoky flavor from the short rib and brisket. The ham had a nice salty flavor. Onions had a strong salty flavor. Bbq sauce gave it a sweet tangy flavor. This is the best thing I’ve eaten at Arby’s. I prefer this place to Subway but Jersey Mike’s is my fav spot to get a sandwich.
This place has been around for a long time as evidenced by the weathered old roof.
The inside is very clean and modern. I’d eat here again but I wouldn’t go out of my way to visit.

Arby’s!!! My all time favorite sandwich here is the beef and cheddar on an onion bun. It comes with Arby’s sauce inside. My only wish is more cheddar or a small dish of it so I can dip my sandwich in it. Maybe next visit you might find a sandwich you like better. :>)
Arby’s is ok. I prefer Firehouse Subs down the street.
That’s funny you mentioned the roof b/c sis and I ALWAYS comment about it when we drive by. That’s sad the last sandwich didn’t match the advertised photo 🙁 I’ve come to realize fast food joints can be really pricey. Have you tried Board & Brew? They have hot sandwiches.
Maggie noticed the roof and then I looked. I guess it isn’t leaking yet…
Yes prices are going up. Places have been adding premium sandwiches and charging lots more for them. I have not tried Board and Brew. I’ll have to try them.
